This is a new kind of episode!

Meet Audrey! This warrior (and my friend) has been living with brain cancer for almost a year now and she was gracious enough to come onto the pod to go deep about her experience with it. While this was not intended to be an Enneagram-centric conversation, Audrey has done a lot of incredible inner work around being a Type 4 and pulls that into our talk many times. She goes far beyond "what is cancer like"?

TRIGGER WARNING:

We talk about death, family dynamics, childhood trauma and much more. She also answers questions that I took in a poll on my IG.

My favorite quote from her is when she said, "For me, the grief is a reflection of the love".

I hope you enjoy this beautiful conversation and her story.

FINALLY. Almost 2 years in the making and I got Kristi on the pod as a guest! Now, you might think we are only discussing becoming an enneagram coach but Enneagram University is much more vast than that. Not interested in being a coach? It's still for you. Already a coach and want pre-made templates to help run your business? They've got that. You ARE interested in being a coach? THEY'VE GOT THAT. Already a coach but no one taught you the business side? You guessed it, Kristi has thought of everything.

Enjoy this episode of us laughing, talking about our friendship, Kristi as a CP6, and of course, the ever incomparable Enneagram University. An enneagram education program truly unlike any other!

Do we have the entire Ennegram within us? Yes.
Can we relate to all 9 types? Absolutely as it's a scale of our humanity and never intended to put us in any box.

But there are 5 types that we are primarily tied to:
•Our main type
•Wing (L)
•Wing (R)
•Stress Line (unaware)
•Security/Growth Line (aware)

These are the main energies we access and utilize.
We can also access the higher and lower sides of ALL of these 5 main types. So the high *and* lower side of both wings, the high *and* lower side of both our stress and security lines....

It's so much deeper and nuanced than even I show here but I did wanted to layout a more broad view of each type.
How do you use YOUR main 5 types? Let's talk about it!

Just a random episode of me rambling about how each of the 9 types have influenced me and how they show up in my life. The Enneagram has given me such unique and intimate insight in people's lived experiences of their type and I wanted to share that on this episode.

How we talk about ourselves matters and I have noticed a pattern of people using the Enneagram wings (and stress lines) to bypass parts of themselves. Blaming parts of ourselves for something or trying to dismiss it actually gives us an opportunity for self-awareness.

Let's talk about it!

"How do I find out my kid's Enneagram type" is such a common question and for good reason. Parents are looking to know their kids more deeply and to connect on a more personal level and it makes sense they would want to use the Enneagram to do that.

Let's talk about it!

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE ME STOP SAYING UM.

Long time no pod love! Happy to have this mic in front of me again and for 2023 to be behind us.

This episode I talk about going dry in 2023 as well as giving up gift giving. As an Enneagram 2, it was one of the best decisions I ever made for myself!

This is the episode I mention about my practice for Type Twos (or anyone really) to avoid manipulating with giving and then you'll select Apple or Spotify to listen from.

This is THE episode I have been wanting to do from day one!

Dear Abby....Ask Amy....but make it Enneagram! This is a format I have wanted to try from the beginning. My hope is to extend this information from just content into conversations.

I did a story on Instagram asking for questions to be answered on the pod and I got some great responses! Big thanks to those who participated.
