0:00.0	Hello and welcome to best laid plans.
0:11.9	This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger,
0:13.8	and this is a podcast where we talk all things planning and planning adjacent.
0:17.9	If my voice sounds a little bit different today, and I think that it does,
0:21.6	it's because I picked up a little bit of something viral in New Hampshire, where I just got
0:27.1	back from. I know I recorded the travel episode prior to leaving, so it actually aired right
0:32.0	when I got back, and as you're listening to this, I've been home for a week. So I'm about a week
0:36.4	ahead, and I have for you today
0:38.2	the June Q&A. I just didn't entirely expect my voice to sound like this, but hopefully it will

1:14.4	which is an ESFJ. Shout out to any ESFJs out there. We're fun. I don't know what we are,
1:21.6	but we're nice, I think, because we feel and we're extroverted. So we're definitely people,
1:26.6	people. Anyway, and I also identify as an
1:30.3	upholder in Gretchen Rubin's personality framework in terms of responding to inner and outer
1:35.4	expectations, but I have not ever discussed which anyagram number I have gotten when I've
1:40.7	taken various quizzes. And this person is right. Anyone who knows their
1:44.3	Myers-Briggs type and their Gretchen Rubin personality framework type probably has also taken an
1:49.8	eneogram quiz. And I am in that group of people. So why have I not shared my enneagram number?
