Summary
With the holidays just around the corner, we're bringing back a conversation that continues to deliver relational gold. Whether you heard it the first time or you're discovering it now, this replay with author and Enneagram teacher Christina Wilcox offers a beautifully practical and deeply compassionate look at how the Enneagram can transform the way we show up for one another during the most emotionally charged season of the year.
In this episode, Christina shares her journey of discovering herself as an Enneagram Six—along with the courage, clarity, and self-understanding that followed. Together, we explore how each type navigates holiday stress, joy, expectation, and connection…and how you can care for the people you love in ways that truly meet them where they are.
You'll learn:
-
How to support friends and family of every Enneagram type through the busyness and emotional intensity of the holidays
-
Practical tools for managing social anxiety, especially for Sixes
-
Why presence and gratitude matter so deeply, particularly for Fours—and how all of us can cultivate them
-
Simple, insightful practices for building healthier, more attuned relationships this time of year
Whether you're hoping to deepen your emotional intelligence, strengthen your closest relationships, or simply bring more kindness and awareness into your holiday rhythms, this episode is a gift worth unwrapping again.
Lean in, listen well, and let the Enneagram help you love the people in your life a little better this Christmas.
