Wouldn’t it be great if we could understand the reason why people do the things they do? Do you have a family member that shuts down whenever an emotion comes up? Or a friend that freaks out when you have a change of plans? Or maybe you wonder why you do the same things over and over again expecting a different result only to find yourself in the same position that you’ve been in before?

For this episode, we talk about the Enneagram Typing Tool. This ancient tool can give you insights as to why people do the things that they do. We talk about the different types, their strengths, challenges, and how to support them.
