The Enneagram is a model of the human psyche. It reveals what we do to feel loved and what motivates our behavior. The Enneagram uses numbers, instead of language, to explain attitude and behavior.

Even though there are nine distinct personality types, one dominates each of our lives. It is our unconscious orientation that drives our behavior.

While you may not resonate with every feature of your type, when you understand it, it reveals how to become the best version of yourself. You learn where you fit and become closer to who you are.

In this episode, you’ll get a quick glimpse at the nine complex personalities (and I’ll share how you can figure out which one matches yours).
