Summary

In this special episode, Anthony and I drop by the studio to talk about my new book, The Story of You, and what motivated me to write it.

We all craft a story about who we are and how the world works as little people. Then, as we grow older, we think of our lives as a movie we’re in that’s unfolding in real-time. But the narrative we crafted as children no longer works for us as adults. But how do we change that story?

The Enneagram teaches that there are nine archetypal stories that people tend to inhabit. However, the true gift of the Enneagram is its ability to help us challenge those self-limiting stories and move into a new narrative.

In this episode, I identify the self-limiting story of each type and explain the 4 stage process for transformation so you can become your authentic self.
