A new episode of Others on The Journey!

LTM has had the opportunity over the past year to facilitate Enneagram Journey Curriculum groups online via Zoom, and our most recent group, led by Joel, just finished the twelfth and final week.

One of the exercises of the final session is each group member writes on a card, "I used to think..... now I think....." and shares with the group what they wrote. 

Today's episode is what the group shared!

Her guest today, fellow enneagram 2, Tori Hope Petersen, tells her story and shares how we can all get involved and become a part of this community. Stay tuned to the second half of the podcast when they run through the 9 enneagram numbers and discuss something each one should be aware of as they consider adoption or becoming a foster parent.

There isn't enough time in a podcast or space here to adequately say how much we love Christine Min!

Christine was born in Los Angeles and is a life-long Angeleno except for three years spent in Washington D.C., where she attended Georgetown Law and met her husband, Michael.

Christine is an attorney and most recently worked as the in-house counsel for a venture-backed sustainable beverage company. She currently provides legal counsel for corporate clients, and also works with mission-driven executives to help grow and develop their teams and businesses. Christine also serves on the board for the Disability Rights Legal Center.

Her husband Michael (also an Enneagram 8) works in finance. They live in West LA and are currently sheltering at home with their two young children, who are 9 and 7 years old, and with Dustin, their 4-year old rescue dog from Korea.

Christine is Korean-American -- her parents immigrated from Korea over 50 years ago.

?People who are thinking dominant, are lazy thinkers.

And people who are feeling dominant are lazy around emotions.?

Welcome back to The Enneagram Journey Live!

Join Suzanne, Jon Singletary (3), Laura Addis (3), Heather Mustain (6), Craig Nash (6), Jill Herrington (9), and Brett Gibson (9) during this 2 part series as they discuss life on the central triangle of the enneagram. Or the "3-6-9 train" as Father Rohr calls it!

Episode 84 is part 2 of this panel discussion, so if you missed the first half, be sure and go back and listen to Episode 83.

"It's easy for me to just go through life, just doing things, and not being known in what I'm doing." - Jill, enneagram 9

We are excited to offer a new series of episodes starring you the listeners!

Others on The Journey will feature a question presented to Suzanne during a traditional Q&A podcast episode, her response to the question, and then responses from listeners who are on their own Enneagram Journeys.

Suzanne often says, she knows the enneagram really well (yup!), but nobody can talk about an enneagram number as well as that number can. And, a main goal and mission of Life in the Trinity Ministry is to grow community. We are excited that Others on The Journey will be an example of both!

We start this series hearing from Enneagram Fours, how they feel and what they think about conflict.

Be sure to tune in to upcoming Q&A episodes with Suzanne and share your thoughts for upcoming OOTJ episodes at www.theenneagramjourney.org/interact !

What does it mean to have the same dominant and repressed center of intelligence? Let's find out!

Be sure to come back for Part 2 on Episode 84!

You have questions, and Suzanne is going to answer them!

Suzanne and Joel discuss what 5s look like when they move to their stress and security numbers. Do enneagram Fours like conflict? What is Essence? Aaaaaaand more.

"I think a healthy 5 who can appropriately choose and use the high side of 7 and the high side of 8, is kind of a home for everybody."

If you are an enneagram Four and would like to share your thoughts on conflict and today's talk, please visit www.theenneagramjourney.org/interact and leave a voicemail! We will compile the responses and share them, because as Suzanne says, nobody can better describe an enneagram number than that number.

After a small break we are back!

Feedback has been that you love the episodes that feature Suzanne answering your questions, so that is what we are going to start "season 3"? with!

Can we discover our children's orientation to time and what can we do with that? Is my husband a 5 or an 8? And lets discuss being a stay at home mom who is a 3 and wondering about her movements in stress and security. Also, enneagram 6, Lindsay O'connor joins the Journey to talk about anxiety and Suzanne breaks down what all enneagram personalities get anxious about.

2020 is just around the corner and that means a whole new season of live workshops and events. Suzanne, Joe, and LTM hope to see you at an upcoming event in Virginia, Tennessee, Colorado, Georgia, or their home of Texas!

We are lighting a candle for you and your Journey here at the Micah Center!

Leslie Bley, enneagram 6, is on The Journey with Suzanne in today's episode!

?It is a particular gift of yours regardless of what is happening in the room, to lead people back to the middle.? Suzanne to Leslie

"One of the reasons its so important to me that people learn the enneagram, because you get to CHOOSE a reaction. And when you don?t know the enneagram, it so often chooses you."

?For 6s, there?s something scary about hope, and there?s something scary about change.? Leslie

?Duty is why I?m brave.? Leslie

Married to Kevin who is an enneagram 9, and mother to twin boys, Leslie is a therapist who lives in Austin, TX. This episode discusses so many topics including the enneagram in therapy, duty vs. desire, and lots of good discussion and distinctions within the Dependent Stance.

Hope you can join Suzanne live in Dallas or online on November 22 for Holidays and the Enneagram! Visit www.lifeinthetrinityministry.com for more information and registration.

Enneagram 3, husband, and father of two beautiful girls, Sean Palmer is on today's episode of The Enneagram Journey! (He is also a pastor, speaker, writer)

This episode is full of so many great sound bites:

"3s don't cut corners. We find efficiencies."

"Why is the investment in who we are and what we believe so low?"

"How many people I have talked to who are married to 1s, and how deeply they love them, but don't understand the 1s feelings about themselves."

This episode also holds some great content about enneagram stances, orientation to time, and how we all deal with failure.

Good luck on Your Journey!

Have you taken a test to find out your enneagram number? Did it turn out to be incorrect? Craig Nash is one of MANY people who has had this experience and he shares it on today's episode of The Enneagram Journey!

Suzanne and Craig discuss the counter-phobic/phobic continuum, relationships between Sixes and Twos, Sixes and Fear, chaining, and on and on. Be sure to listen for the Jason Isbell lyrics that Craig claims is the Enneagram Six Anthem!

If you have questions for Craig, or want to hear more from him, he will be back in Dallas on October 18th as part of a panel for a Live Enneagram Journey Podcast with Suzanne! visit www.lifeinthetrinityministry.com for more details and for tickets.

Thank you for listening, for your support of the podcast, LTM, and for Joe and Suzanne's work! We hope you enjoy today's show, and to see you at an upcoming event!
