#114 - The Impact of Fears and Desires on our Friendships: Intro to the Enneagram with Christina S. Wilcox

Do you know your Enneagram (personality) type and how your core fears and desires impact your friendships? I understood very little about anything Enneagram related before my interview with Christina S. Wilcox, author of Take Care of Your Friends: An Enneagram Guide to Interpersonal Relationships. I still have a lot to learn!

Consider this episode an introduction to the Enneagram and a reminder that each of us is wired differently through nature, nurture, and life's experiences. Understanding ourselves on a deep level helps us be better friends because it gives us more patience and grace for others. The Enneagram is one tool towards that goal.

There are many resources online about Enneagram tests and more. I took a free quiz here. Please note: I have no idea how this site compares to others!
