Intro - Episode 120

If you’re familiar with the Enneagram through pop culture, you might be using it as a personality test to gain more insight into what makes you tick and how you act. However, what’s so cool about what our guest, Micky ScottBey Jones, will share with us today is that it’s not just a personality test.

In fact, your personality is not fixed and the strategies you use to cope and interact in the world can be expanded upon and changed, if you want them to be.

So, today we’re talking all things Enneagram. Guest Micky ScottBey Jones is an Enneagram expert, coach, and facilitator.

In today’s episode, we’re covering topics like what the Enneagram actually is, the impact it can have, why people love it so much and it’s rise in popularity, how it helps you feel seen and see others, how bias fits in, practical ways you can apply Enneagram to your real life, and what to do with fear as it arises.

Now, of course, we get philosophical in this conversation and while discussing Enneagram, which can help you be in relationship to self and others better, we also dive deep into identifying what our responsibility to other human beings is. What are we really responsible for when we see another human being in their wholeness?

And, one of the most powerful parts of this episode, among the many, is when Micky shares part of her personal journey with Enneagram. She says, “The Enneagram helped me not hate myself.” That’s huge — there’s so much there.

It’s all packed into the next hour, so let’s get to it. And if you know your Enneagram type and your’e watching on YouTube, go ahead and tell us what it is in the comments.
