I am simply in love with today's episode. I got the chance to sit down with my dear friend Gabes Torres to talk about what part the Enneagram plays in our collective liberation as well as her life as a migrant woman of color living and studying in the United States. Here's more about Gabes: Gabes is a researcher, theologian, speaker, singer-songwriter, and psychotherapist in training. Her life’s work is to show how there’s nothing “post-” about postcolonialism, and that the effects of historical and oppressive conquest continue to manifest in the ideologies, cultures, languages, literature, human behaviors, inter- and intrapersonal relationships, and spiritual practices we have today. Gabes is creating and sustaining efforts to decolonize the mind, body, spirit, and relationships through her work in psychotherapy, academia, music, poetry, speaking engagements, and other platforms for social activism. You can learn more about Gabes on www.gabestorres.com, and you have the power to help her in continuing her work of decolonization by supporting and/or sharing www.gofundme.com/help-Gabes-Stay Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of the action, and don't forget to give us a rating and a written review in your podcast app!

Today on the podcast I sit down with Leanette Pokuwaah to talk about the ways in which our culture plays into our Enneagram types, as well we effective ways each of use can move to create more socially aware spaces by understanding our types. Here's more about Leanette: My name is Leanette Pokuwaah (Pronouns she/her). I am a justice seeker and my faith is ever so intertwined with the work I do. I am a writer, teacher, and coach. I want to share with you all a little bit about who I am and why this platform exists. As a first-generation Ghanaian woman, I wanted to be able to create and teach Enneagram content that sought to center the stories and voices of people of color and others that are traditionally placed at the margins. The Enneagram is a powerful pathway toward spiritual growth and for personal and professional development. I have been able to write, teach and coach through an intersectional lens. My unique intersectional approach centering queer people of color is deeply transformative. The opening of spaces for folks to uncover their whole selves through the recollection, reflection, and retracing of their stories is so powerful and healing. Each gathering or session paves the path for storytelling that is graced with the voices of others once muted and bodies once unseen that create a space for us all to feel fully heard, seen, loved and known.

On this week's episode of Conscious Construction I have the extreme pleasure of sitting with my good friend and Narrative Enneagram buddy Chichi Agorom to talk about her journey with the Enneagram, her work as a mental health counselor, and effective ways we can work with the Enneagram and mental health. Here's more about Chichi: I’m Chichi Agorom, a curious observer of people whose fascination with the experience of being human on a journey toward wholeness and purpose led me to studying the Enneagram. I am a trained teacher in The Narrative Tradition which prioritizes the felt experience and voices of participants, and I also hold a Coaching Certificate from The Enneagram in Business which focuses on the uses of the Enneagram in organizations. I also earned an MA in Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Couples & Family Therapy so when I’m not working with the Enneagram, I spend my days working with individuals, couples, and families to cultivate self-awareness and move towards authenticity, wholeness, and joy. My life’s work is to help people feel less alone & more known, and to create spaces that increase connection & compassion in an increasingly divided world. The Enneagram is an excellent tool to achieve that, and so is hosting gatherings. That’s why I’m here, and I warmly invite you into the practice of becoming yourself more fully while learning to hold deep compassion for all that you find in the process.

In this week’s episode, I have the extreme honor of sitting down with singer songwriter and Kansas native, Jennifer Knapp. We talk about her coming out process and the choice to return to the public eye after years “underground.” We also talk about her adventures in self-discovery and how the Enneagram can help! Here’s more about Jennifer: Jennifer Knapp is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, author, and advocate. Her impressive history includes selling over one million albums with her first three releases Kansas (debut 1998, Gold-certified), Lay It Down (2000), and The Way I Am (2001). She has earned four Dove Awards and two Grammy nominations. The Kansas-born musician has toured the globe with artists such as Jars of Clay and was featured on the Lilith Fair Tour in 1999 and again in 2010. Knapp has received critical acclaim for her human approach to the divine, with the Los Angeles Times calling her "a rising star" and People Magazine describing her as "an uncommonly literate songwriter." With a considerable fan base and critical and commercial successes, Knapp walked away from music in 2002 at the height of her career. After a seven-year hiatus she returned in 2010 with a renewed passion for music showcased in her album Letting Go, which debuted at No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 200 Chart. Set Me Free followed in 2014 on Righteous Babe Records in conjunction with a memoir, Facing the Music: My Story, on Howard Books/Simon & Schuster. Her 2017 album Love Comes Back Around, produced by Viktor Krauss, pairs her fearless songwriting and strong, expressive voice with rootsy arrangements. As the first major artist known by the Christian music world to speak openly about LGBT identity, her unique position has created opportunities for dialogue at churches and universities through her organization Inside Out Faith and on the TEDx stage at University of Nevada. A true Renaissance woman, Knapp recently completed a master's degree in theological studies from Vanderbilt Divinity School. Connect with Jennifer Here: www.jenniferknapp.com And look!

Encore Episode! On this week’s episode Matt Inman and I sit down to talk about how to live life with more inefficiency, in a good way. We cover everything from career choices to family stuff and take a nice dive into the Enneagram for good measure. Matt Inman lives in Austin, Texas and loves his family, tacos, coffee, beer, working out and evidently, dehydration. He is a psychotherapist with a private practice and has long been the host of Inefficiency Podcast. His show carves out the time and space necessary to live out relationships, convictions and spirituality well. Recently, Matt became Editor-In-Chief of Inefficiency Magazine. This publication is a beautiful, thoughtful and therapeutic magazine that promotes emotional and relational health and will be in counseling rooms all over the country. While Matt and his family call Austin home, part of his heart is in Kansas City, MO and several pieces are scattered up and down the California coastline.
