The #1 Thing New Enneagram Learners MissYOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4H1GSIOb3Q&t=125s The Enneagram might seem simple at first glance: you take a quick quiz, it spits out a number, and now you know your type.

In this video, you'll learn about your intelligence center and why that matters.→ How do you see the core emotion of your intelligence center in your life?→ If you feel disconnected from your intelligence center (for example, sometimes 9s feel disconnected from the action of the body center, and 3s feel disconnected from the emotionality of the heart center), what would it be like to tune into that more?Thanks so much for listening!

On this week's episode of Enneagram IRL, we meet with Samantha Mackay, an Enneagram coach, trainer, and educator who specializes in using the Enneagram to amplify personal growth and healing. Samantha was a litigation lawyer until chronic stress and burnout lead her to evaluate what she really wanted in her life and to find the source of her pain. As a Self-Preservation Seven, she was good at ignoring her pain until her body made it clear that was no longer an option. She found the path to recovering from chronic stress and managing an autoimmune condition was to heal not just her physical body, but also her emotional, intellectual, and spiritual bodies. Her recovery journey started 15 years ago and she now supports others on their journey.We discuss how Samantha found the Enneagram, her core type, and subtype, and how it now all plays a role in her life of personal healing, as well as coaching others to do the same. Such a fascinating episode that helps give great insight into the experience of a Self-Pres Seven.Follow Samantha on Instagram: @individuo_coachingOr connect with her online: www.individuo.co.nzHere are the key takeaways:Samantha's Self-Pres Seven experienceUsing the Enneagram in healing workThe importance of recognizing the need for deep inner work Giving ourselves permission to heal, what this looks like, and being patient through the processConcision vs. SpeedHow can you connect and work with Samantha?Resources mentioned in this episode:iEQ9 TestGiving Yourself Permission to Heal CourseOutsmarting Procrastination CourseClearing Overlooked Grief CourseThe Flight from Intimacy: Healing Your Relationship of Counter-Dependency - The Other Side of Co-Dependency by Barry K Weinhold and Janae B.
