There isn't enough time in a podcast or space here to adequately say how much we love Christine Min! Christine was born in Los Angeles and is a life-long Angeleno except for three years spent in Washington D.C., where she attended Georgetown Law and met her husband, Michael. Christine is an attorney and most recently worked as the in-house counsel for a venture-backed sustainable beverage company. She currently provides legal counsel for corporate clients, and also works with mission-driven executives to help grow and develop their teams and businesses. Christine also serves on the board for the Disability Rights Legal Center. Her husband Michael (also an Enneagram 8) works in finance. They live in West LA and are currently sheltering at home with their two young children, who are 9 and 7 years old, and with Dustin, their 4-year old rescue dog from Korea. Christine is Korean-American -- her parents immigrated from Korea over 50 years ago. “People who are thinking dominant, are lazy thinkers. And people who are feeling dominant are lazy around emotions.” -Suzanne

We are excited to offer a new series of episodes starring you the listeners! Others on The Journey will feature a question presented to Suzanne during a traditional Q&A podcast episode, her response to the question, and then responses from listeners who are on their own Enneagram Journeys. Suzanne often says, she knows the enneagram really well (yup!), but nobody can talk about an enneagram number as well as that number can. And, a main goal and mission of Life in the Trinity Ministry is to grow community. We are excited that Others on The Journey will be an example of both! We start this series hearing from Enneagram Fours, how they feel and what they think about conflict. Be sure to tune in to upcoming Q&A episodes with Suzanne and share your thoughts for upcoming OOTJ episodes at www.theenneagramjourney.org/interact !

You have questions, and Suzanne is going to answer them! Suzanne and Joel discuss what 5s look like when they move to their stress and security numbers. Do enneagram Fours like conflict? What is Essence? Aaaaaaand more. "I think a healthy 5 who can appropriately choose and use the high side of 7 and the high side of 8, is kind of a home for everybody." If you are an enneagram Four and would like to share your thoughts on conflict and today's talk, please visit www.theenneagramjourney.org/interact and leave a voicemail! We will compile the responses and share them, because as Suzanne says, nobody can better describe an enneagram number than that number. And if you aren't walking through The Enneagram Journey Curriculum with friends, family, neighbors, strangers...anyone really, why not?! www.lifeinthetrinityministry.com/store/vimeo

She and Suzanne discuss how they as an enneagram 5 and 2 can learn from each other, the different ways they connect to people, the value of stories, and more. "I think the way we challenge our personalities is affected by whether or not we're an introvert or an extrovert." "I think there is something powerful and beautiful about thinking mindfully about others. We don't always have to say anything." "I cut people off from pursuing me by pursuing them first."

Ann and Caroline have been on a Journey that has included the Enneagram for 7 years now after they attended Suzanne's workshops back in 2012.

And though he didn't know it, Loren, Ann's husband and Caroline's father, an enneagram 9, gets caught in the conversation's cross hairs as well! There is so much gold from both the parent and daughter angle, about both the aggressive and withdrawing stance, someone who deals so much with shame and someone who deals often with anger. I hope you, and your family and friends can glean as much from it as I did!

What is your Repressed Center? Thinking? Feeling? Doing? Suzanne explains how 1s, 2s, and 6s are Thinking Repressed. How 4s, 5s, and 9s are Doing Repressed.

You probably know Jeremy and Audrey from the hit T.V. show Little People Big World, but as we discuss in this conversation, that isn't what defines them. You may also have read their new book, A Love Letter Life, but that doesn't define their future either! Jeremy, an Enneagram 9, past oriented and an immovable object, and Audrey, Enneagram 8, future oriented and an unstoppable force talk about their relationship, what they are doing to grow a healthy loving life together, and how they're encouraging others to do the same.

We are trying to clean out the questions inbox! In this Episode, Suzanne answers: How do I figure out my number? What is your stance on tests? What would you say to people who say that the enneagram is evil? Talk about wings. Are they important? What does pathology mean in the enneagram? What is the order of enneagram work? How long can you live in your stress or security number? What are good Lent practices for each enneagram number? We hope you enjoy the show, and keep the questions coming!
