123: The Sweet Spot to your Personal Growth that no one is talking about and how the Enneagram can make the messy parts matter even more

The Enneagram is the greatest personal development tool I’ve ever used.⁣<br />⁣<br />Issues with the Enneagram, however, include mistyping, not using it in integrity, or not using it how it’s meant to be used.⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />Listen now⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />More than ever, we’re aware that shit’s gotta change in our life.⁣<br />⁣<br />Self awareness is so, so important, but only works if we know what to do with it.
