Revisiting Downton: An Enneagram Stroll Through the Abbey (Part One)

Send us a text Pour a cup of tea and join me for a wholehearted stroll back to 2019, when my sister Annaliese and I first sat down to type the Crawleys and the unforgettable Downton Abbey staff through the lens of the Enneagram. With plenty of giggles, some slightly outdated storylines (remember, this was before the first movie came out!), and a love for both the Enneagram and British drama, we uncover what makes these characters so timeless. As you listen, notice how each role – Victim, Villain...

Choosing Harmony Over Feeling Heard: ☀️ EnneaSummer Track Five
