Around the Circle: An Enneagram Podcast

Jeff Cook and T.J. Wilsonwww.aroundthecircle.org
The Enneagram is a map of the human personality. It’s a tool for navigating relationships. It creates language for what motivates us and helps us look at the way we look at everything else. Most importantly the enneagram is a mirror; because sometimes you need help seeing yourself. This is Jeff Cook and T.J. Wilson going around the circle to discuss various topics and how they affect each type.

One Question to Start the Year

Now that we’ve settled back into our post-resolution selves, it might be helpful to think about one question: What are you avoiding? We go around the circle talking about each type’s hazards - obstacles we subconsciously avoid; and the fear that lies underneath. Maybe for some of us, this is a more navigable path toward that new me in the new year. Start Here podcast Help fund future deep dives (Patreon) Our website...
