Living a Relational Life

What Is the Enneagram and Why You Should Use It—Part 2

We're Different. Now What?
So you think you’re too different to be in a successful relationship with someone you love? Well, you’re not the first! The Enneagram helps with this.

Today on the Living a Relational Life podcast, it is the second installment of the 2-part Enneagram episode I recorded with a special guest—my older and very-different-from-me sister.

In last week’s episode, we disclosed our journey with the Enneagram. We shared about how we heard of it, disclosed our numbers, and just barely started scratching the surface of our differences. Enneagram 8s and 2s have few similarities. They approach life in opposite manners. More often than not, our differences have challenged us rather than gave us a warm, fuzzy feeling—as you get when you feel seen and known by someone in spite of massive differences, right?

In this second installment, we delve deeper into our differences. Specifically, we wanted to take you on the journey we ourselves went on. In the beginning, our differences were dividing lines. Now, they are points of respect and appreciation. And we throw in a few funny stories along the way!

Enjoy!
