Hi Friends,
Did you know that you can be part of our show? Each month we take listener questions and answer them on the air. Some folks prefer to remain anonymous (which is totally fine), while others, like today’s guest, want to come on the show and join the conversation!
Joining me today is Precious Burger, from Fairfax, VA. Precious wrote to us with a question about the Enneagram.
“I took an Enneagram assessment a few years ago, but didn’t feel it was completely accurate. I would love to take it again and understand it better- especially to help me grow! Does the enneagram change as you evolve? I have been in a state of transition in my life for the last few years. What are some things to consider when in a period of transition? How can the Enneagram help me build my business and thrive as a professional artist?!”
During the episode,
