Understanding Behavior through the Lens of the Enneagram with Chelsie Engle (65)

How the Wise One Grows

What if there was a tool to help you understand not just the 'what' but the 'why' of your behavior? A tool that could lead you to a path of self-discovery and freedom from behaviors and attitudes that no longer serve you. This conversation with Enneagram coach Chelsie Engle explores the profound tool of the Enneagram to do just that. We navigate the nuances of the Enneagram system, and how it sets itself apart from other personality tests. Chelsie and I also explore how the Enneagram sheds light on the core dynamics of our behaviors and attitudes, offering a path to transformative personal growth.
We explore how the Enneagram can lead to increased mental, emotional, and physical energy. We discuss the transformative potential of the Enneagram in the context of relationships, helping us identify codependency and the parts of ourselves that we don't love. Chelsie also shares her insights on how the Enneagram can bridge gaps across cultural, communication, and justice issues. This tool is not just about understanding ourselves better, but also about creating bridges and building connections with others.
Listen to uncover the potential of the Enneagram to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world.
