In this week's episode of Everyday Better, we are bringing back one of our most beloved conversations between Leah Smart and globally renowned Enneagram expert Bea Chestnut, a psychotherapist, consultant, and thought leader with over 27 years of experience, who has spent her career exploring the transformative potential of the Enneagram - a personality typing system rooted in ancient spiritual traditions.
Through her work, Bea uses the Enneagram as a powerful map to guide individuals toward a deeper understanding of themselves and others. It’s a groundbreaking tool for uncovering your core motivations, deepening self-awareness, and unlocking your potential for growth.
As Bea Chestnut explains, "The Enneagram makes it easier for us to access an understanding of ourselves so that we can make change if we want to. We can go from being totally focused within and identified with our personality to using the personality as a vehicle for moving beyond it."
