Around the Circle: An Enneagram Podcast

By: Jeff Cook and T.J. Wilson
  • Summary

  • The Enneagram is a map of the human personality. It’s a tool for navigating relationships. It creates language for what motivates us and helps us look at the way we look at everything else. Most importantly the enneagram is a mirror; because sometimes you need help seeing yourself. This is Jeff Cook and T.J. Wilson going around the circle to discuss various topics and how they affect each type.

An Enneagram Podcast

So this is our enneagram podcast, and we like it, so it gets some stars.

What you can
expect here is a next level discussion of the wisdom of the enneagram. We love talking about stance, coping style and affect. We love typing fictional characters for illustrations. And we love seeing others flourish in their relationships and self understanding.

Lots of great places to start, but we suggest going to “the basics” series if you know your number. If you don’t know your type, try “episode zero” for an introduction.

May all good things be yours. Jeff and TJ
