This week on Unpacked we are chatting we’re back with another episode on the enneagram and this time with our spouses Christin and Ryan! We chat with them about the enneagram and orientation to time.  The enneagram is a personality tool based on 9 types of people. It is meant to reveal your motive and help us gain a better understanding of ourselves and why we do what we do. Each number is oriented to time differently. So what that means is it is another lens of seeing the world based on whether you are someone who dreams about the future, lives in the present moment or dwells in memories of the past. If you are not familiar with the enneagram you can still find value in the episode as you don’t need to know your type to determine your orientation to time!
