You Contain Multitudes

Preventing Burnout and the Enneagram with Sandhya Sudhakar


Listen Later

Today, I’m joined by Enneagram expert and founder of Self At Work, Sandhya Sudhakar. We discuss typologies and how they can help us identify parts of us that we know exist, but might not have the vocabulary to verbalize. Sandhya describes how growing up, she excelled in school, eventually landed a high-paying job, and did everything that she thought would make her family proud. She was supposed to feel happy, but something was missing.

Sandhya discovered Enneagrams and found so much comfort in the insight that the typology provided. Understanding her Enneagram type allowed her to evolve, be more present in her day-to-day, and become more receptive. It also played a major role in her healing from burnout. In today's conversation, Sandhya explains how understanding your Enneagram can help with burnout prevention and recovery, and I share how I’ve been working with her on that process.

We talk about ways that burnout starts to present itself in the lived experience of different Enneagram types. My hope is that if you notice some of the patterns that we talk about in this episode, you might find clarity in an Enneagram reading or other typology resources.

Listen in to learn more about Enneagrams and the powerful insight that it can provide in your self-discovery journey.
