Your Enneagram Godmother and an Enneagram Guncle got together for this INCREDIBLE conversation!

If you don't know Jonathan yet, Enneagram 3, this is a wonderful introduction.

"...othering the other that othered them."

It'll make more sense after you hear him talk about it!

Jonathan is a writer on faith and culture, the author of Learning To Speak God From Scratch, Jesus is Better Than You Imagined, My Guncle and Me and a few other great reads. You can find him on Instagram @jonathan_merritt and online at jonathanmerritt.com

The Enneagram Godmother + The Great Russ Hudson + The Reverend

Where do we sign up?!?!

Today's podcast episode comes from the LTM teaching event in Dallas, Br5aking The Cycle (don't worry, you'll learn why it is spelled that way and what 5a means).

As you'll hear Joel explain, this 2 hour teaching is only the opening for the rest of the next 10 hours, but it is an entire workshop in itself!

There is nobody Suzanne holds in higher regard when it comes to Enneagram Wisdom than Russ Hudson. The real magic that comes out in this weekend's teaching is that Suzanne, Joe, and Russ are each in different Enneagram Triads: Suzanne, Heart - Russ, Head - Reverend, Gut. And the teaching is on Enneagram Triads, managing your dominant center of intelligence, and how we br5ak this darn cycle!

Its Q&A time on The Enneagram Journey!

Suzanne and Joel sat down to record today's episode at The Micah Center and decided at the last moment to turn on the camera. Having the camera on contributed to the conversation about seeing a therapist and accountability, and the show just takes off from there.

Some of the things you'll here in this episode:

• A question about a 7 and 5 relationship
  • this leads to some subtype talk
• What needs to fall away when you go to therapy?
• Enneagram 6s and Trust
  • Are 6s the most controlling personality?
• A 4 and 5 parenting adult children
• A great Chuck Knoblauch joke that Suzanne talked over
• aaaaand more!

"Tell me what you want, and I'll tell you whether or not I can give it to you."
