It's hard but true, the holiday season still doesn’t make all our relational issues disappear. So, that's why I would like to invite you to step into a story for this special Advent episode. A story that will provide perspective on what triggers you and what triggers the other personalities around you. It’s true that some personalities naturally click more than others. Still, the desire I have for you and the wholehearted community is not just to tolerate the differences but instead to be able to celebrate our diversity. Today I’ve brought back a mini-fictional tale read in dramatic fashion to help usher in the spirit of celebration this season. This one is safe and entertaining for the whole family, so you can enjoy it as you travel or shop together this holiday season. Plus, if you listen until the end, I’ve got LOADS of practical applications about what triggers each personality Type and some practical steps you can take for yourself as you gather with friends and family this holiday. Are you struggling to find the perfect gift? Do you wonder why their list looks so different from yours? Well, wonder no more: I’ve created the Enneagram Gift Giving Guide with you in mind.  Get the free guide plus bonus gift tags at www.simplywholehearted.com/enneagram-gift-guide. Looking for an episode playlist for your Enneagram Type?Get more information about this free guide here!Meet the Collective here!Connect with Amy:IGWebsiteLooking for an episode playlist for your Enneagram Type?Get more information about this free guide here!RESOURCES FOR YOU:Wholehearted Enneagram Coachinghttps://bit.ly/SWcoachingcollectiveEnnea-what?

When I got the email about a new Christmas musical coming to theaters with big names like Antonio Banderas, I knew I had to do some investigation. While it was a little strange for this midwesterner to watch a Christmas movie when it was 90 degrees outside, I was so delighted to have the opportunity to preview this phenomenal work. I truly got chills and tears as I pushed the volume on my computer screen to the max and immersed myself in the story. The Journey to Bethlehem score and production is truly a work of art and a film I plan on having on rotation every holiday season from here on out! I was thrilled when I got matched to interview the co-writer of this Christian film, Nikki Anders!I pray this episode is a blessing to you, friends! FILM’S WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA:Website: https://www.journeytobethlehemmovie.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JourneyToBethlehemMovieInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jtbmovie/Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTBMovieNIKKI’S SOCIAL MEDIAWebsite: https://www.andersmedia.com/producers Looking for an episode playlist for your Enneagram Type?Get more information about this free guide here!RESOURCES FOR YOU:Wholehearted Enneagram Coachinghttps://bit.ly/SWcoachingcollectiveEnnea-what?

Do you lie awake at night thinking about how you are probably messing up your kids?Is your mind swimming with all the places you must go and things you need to do with and for your kids?Or how you used to be a certain kind of person and enjoy different things, but now you aren’t sure who you are after having kids? Well, you aren’t alone.That’s why I’m so grateful a good friend, fellow entrepreneur, and author has written a book to help you throw off the guilt and strip away the myths you've believed about motherhood. Alli Worthington has been a longtime favorite of the podcast and for me, a far-off older sister who has led the way in many things. Her book, Remaining You While Raising Them, offers you a new way to think--about your kids, yourself, and being the mom you've always wanted to be.Connect with Alli:WebsiteBookBook with Janay hereLooking for an episode playlist for your Enneagram Type?Get more information about this free guide here!RESOURCES FOR YOU:Wholehearted Enneagram Coachinghttps://bit.ly/SWcoachingcollectiveEnnea-what?

Show NotesOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being 'extremely uncomfortable' and 10 being 'completely comfortable,' how would you rate your comfort level with receiving feedback?Receiving feedback can be tough, but providing feedback, well, that can be even tougher. For some personality types, feedback can feel the same as conflict- some run towards it, and others run in the opposite direction. But meaningful feedback doesn't hinder performance: it fuels it.In fact…In a 2021 Workplace Gallup Poll*, when employees strongly agree they received "meaningful feedback" within a week's time, they are almost four times more likely than other employees to be engaged. Ready for some tips on giving and receiving feedback best for each Enneagram Type?

Show NotesCan you believe we are in the last quarter of the year? I wanted to check in with you to see how your year has gone so far.Are you all enthusiastic as you reflect on your business or career growth? Or has it been a challenging year so far? Perhaps you’ve experienced growth and success but also some failures and disappointments. I am in it with you.But this is one of the many reasons I am so grateful for the tool of the Enneagram and that I get the opportunity to practice what I preach. So, this year, I’ve had to dive deeper into my own story and apply my knowledge to my situations. Not just on a spiritual level but as a student of my personality and for clarity on why I process, make decisions, and engage with disappointment and failure the way I do.  Join me for a live Wholehearted Rest Workshop on September 6th!

What if I told you that your communication pattern not only clarifies your unique strategy or method to get what you desire or achieve a goal but it also explains your view of time? It’s wild but true. And I like to take it one step further because your natural inclination or focus on a particular aspect of time—past, present, or future—also impacts your connection with God. Friends, if you enjoy nerding-out with me on how God has uniquely created you, you will love this conversation. Now, while I didn’t specifically label this episode as a series if you are newish to the Enneagram or aren’t 100% certain you know what I am talking about when I say Enneagram Stances or communication patterns, then you might want to go back and listen to last week’s episode about this very topic.  Listen hereLearn more about Sarah's Wholehearted Identity Cohort: From Weary to Beloved- Starts September 13th.
