EnneaSummer2020: Sevens
Saving the best for last! (JUST KIDDING, I know, not fair, I'm a 7.) :) Each show this year has been incredibly insightful and helpful and I today's stays that same course. It's the first time THREE of the same number have sat around the microphones this year, but Erin, Setnick, and I dove deep into the minds of sevens, what makes their day and what breaks their hearts. Three very different perspectives to end our EnneaSummer.

EnneaSummer2020: Sixes
I love sitting down with two enneagram 6s and hearing and seeing the world through their eyes for a couple of minutes. Curtis and Laura are smart and healthy and kind and vulnerable- giving us real insight into the life of a person who identifies as a six. I feel more prepared to face my day and more cognizant and aware and so grateful for these friends! The way they experience God and the world... fascinating, y'all!. . . .Take two minutes and give us your thoughts on EnneaSummer2020!http://www.anniefdowns.com/enneasummersurvey/Listen to : EnneaSummer2019: SixesMusic from Ryan O'Neal : http://www.sleepingatlast.comExpert words from Seth Abram : http://instagram.com/integratedenneagramOur hashtags :#EnneaSummer2020#thatsoundsfunpodcast ... join in the conversation wherever hashtags are welcome. :). . . . .Join us reading 100 Days To Brave starting on August 3! . . . . .Thank you to our partners!

Episode 232: Jon Tyson + Beautiful Resistance
As promised, Jon Tyson is back on the show to pick up where we left off this spring.

I teared up twice in this conversation. I feel really grateful- what an absolute gift it is for us to be led and encouraged by Jon.We also hop over to continue our chat on YouTube, a LOT of words about New York City!, so check that out and subscribe there so you don't miss any of these special additional conversations!YouTube.com/anniefdownstsf. . . . .#thatsoundsfunpodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

EnneaSummer2020: Fours
This is the only episode we recorded long distance, and that's just how #EnneaSummer2020 Enneagram 4s like it, right? Annie and Stew join us from two different cities to tell us about the creative, thoughtful, deep life of a 4. I absolutely loved listening to them get to know each other and connect and become friends- maybe the highlight of the whole conversation. What a gift these 4s (and all 4s!) are to the rest of us!. . . .Listen to : EnneaSummer2019: FoursMusic from Ryan O'Neal : http://www.sleepingatlast.comExpert words from Seth Abram : http://instagram.com/integratedenneagramOur hashtags :#EnneaSummer2020#thatsoundsfunpodcast ... join in the conversation wherever hashtags are welcome. :). . . . .We also have koozies for each number over at shopanniefdowns.com.

EnneaSummer2020: Ones
Today's conversation with the Enneagram Ones absolutely blew my mind. I learned so much from Sarah and Dan and I just absolutely loved that they both showed up with the questions answered on a piece of paper, printed out, ready to go. Ones are just the best- bringing their truth and heart. Whether you are a one or if you love a one, this show will be so helpful. . . . .Listen to : EnneaSummer2019: OnesMusic from Ryan O'Neal : http://www.sleepingatlast.comExpert words from Seth Abram : http://instagram.com/integratedenneagramOur hashtags :#EnneaSummer2020#thatsoundsfunpodcast ... join in the conversation wherever hashtags are welcome. :). . . . .We also have koozies for each number over at shopanniefdowns.com.
