In today’s episode of the Unblocked Podcast, I dive into a question I'm often asked: “What exactly is a life coach?” After a surprising encounter with a sales associate, I realized that many people don’t fully understand what life coaching is, how it works, and how it can be life-changing. So, in this episode, I'm breaking it all down. From uncovering what life coaching really entails to explaining how it differs from therapy, I give an inside look into the benefits of coaching, who it’s for, and how it can help you unlock your potential and transform your life.

Friends! I have had so much fun with this 3-part series. We are exploring the Enneagram based on the 3 "centers of intelligence" - heart, head, and body.
Today is the 3rd and final episode in this series and we are covering the Body Center (enneagram types 8, 9, & 1). To discuss the Body Center, I am joined by Enneagram expert Wendy Montgomery. We cover the following topics:
· What the body center is and how it influences behavior
· The general motivations, core fears, and primary defenses of each type
· The strengths and challenges of each type
· The “wounding message” and “healing message” of ALL the enneagram types (it was such gold that I didn’t want y’all to miss out on the juicy goodness for the other types)
· and so much more!
