Hey friend!
We’re back again for Part 2 of our Enneagram series! We talk a lot around here about the importance of self-awareness. But how does self-awareness help us understand the people we have relationships with? Can a self-awareness tool like the Enneagram really impact our marriages for the better?
My friend Jackie Brewster is here to help us make that connection between self-awareness and understanding our partner!
Jackie is a certified enneagram coach who uses the Enneagram to help individuals, couples, and teams get to know themselves better so they can love and serve others well. Her new book, The Enneagram, and Your Marriage: A 7-Week Guide to Better Understanding and Loving Your Spouse will help you apply this tool to the most important relationship in your life: your marriage.
Join in as Jackie and I discuss:
What to do if you love the Enneagram but your spouse does not
That one thing that really communicates love to your spouse, based on their Enneagram type
How defense mechanisms serve us, and how to identify them by type
Why active listening is crucial for productive conversations (and what “active listening” actually means)
Jackie Brewster is a certified Enneagram coach and author of The Enneagram and Your Marriage: A 7-Week Guide to Better Understanding and Loving Your Spouse. Jackie and her husband, Stephen, have four children and live in Franklin, Tennessee.
