It's never lost on me that asking two enneagram 5s to sit down for the #EnneaSummer2021 conversation is asking a lot of them. But I could not be more thankful for Candi and Jason making space for us and inviting us into their stories and thoughts. Fives go towards (8) in security and towards (7) in stress, so hearing them process that and respond to Suzanne Stabile's thoughts will really help you...

I hope you'll join me in sowing into this new faith community by giving to the wor...

Our EnneaSummer2021 series continues with Adam and Camille, two really healthy and lovely nines. I feel like I understand nines so much better than I did before!
