On this episode of The Awake Podcast, Jamie Kimberling (previous guest in Episode 32), Jen and Cat talk personal enneagram journeys. This conversation is about three people who are experts on themselves, well…trying to be, and how they've used the enneagram as a tool to gain wisdom and insight into how they see the world and why they do the things they do. Enneagram experts, they are NOT, but they have learned so much and value this tool in the journey to become better versions of themselves.

As advocates for families with Down Syndrome, they are on their own journey with their 10-year-old son Noah and his brothers, Jaxten and Cohen. After finding out a half hour after Noah's birth that he was diagnosed with Down Syndrome, God put it on their hearts to change the conversation forever. Abbie, a general pediatrician, and her husband Rick are the founders of Hope Story. Rick, Noah's dad, runs his blog, the nonprofit and speaks globally to advocate, support and champion families who are facing and living this diagnosis. Hope Story is partnering OB/GYNs all over the country with success stories of raising children with Down Syndrome and giving them the tools to start the conversations. Rick also shares how we can support this community of incredibly special people and gives us tools to start conversations. This episode far exceeded my expectations.
