We are doing a second season of our Mistyping series, but this time with people I love.

In this first episode, I sit down with my good friend Kim—an Enneagram skeptic who’s also one of the highest-character people I know.

We talk about why “typing other people” can feel grotesque, what it’s like to teach fifth grade at a Title I school, and how real leadership shows up when you’re willing to speak up, protect kids, and do the work yourself.

Along the way, Kim opens up about optimismboundaries, faith, and the “desert” seasons that refine you—then we use a simple motive-based mistyping chart to explore what’s actually driving her.
