Do Enneagrams Help You Parent Better? Harnessing Enneagram Insights for Resilience and Growth with Beth McCord

Ever felt like someone had read your diary because they understood you so well? That’s the Enneagram for you—equally enlightening and a tad eerie!

In this episode, we’re joined by Beth McCord, who is the founder of Your Enneagram Coach, an Enneagram speaker, coach and teacher for over 20 years. Beth breaks down the basics of the Enneagram, explaining that each of the nine points represents a distinct personality type, each with its own lens (or pair of colored sunglasses, if you will) through which they view the world. These types are defined not only by their actions but more importantly, by their core motivations—fear, desire, weakness, and longing. The conversation takes a practical turn as Beth applies Enneagram wisdom to parenting, drawing from her book "Enneagram for Moms." She emphasizes the importance of parents using the Enneagram to work on themselves first, to better understand and guide their children. 

This episode was packed with enlightening bits and real talk, making the Enneagram a tool not just for self-discovery but for fostering deeper empathy and understanding between people. Dive in if you're up for some serious self-reflection and a few laughs along the way!
