Decoding Enneagram Typing With Kellie Artis

Update: 2023-05-20

Description

Enneagram typing can be tricky for people in the military lifestyle.

The frequent relocation, changes to plans, and being separated from your spouse can make you look like an Enneagram type you may not recognize. But that’s also not a bad thing, funnily enough. It’s a learning tool in and of itself!

This is why me and my guest, Kellie Artis, love the enneagram framework! You always have a core type, which never changes, but as we move through life’s stressors, our strategies change, and learning which traits and characteristics you take on during troubling times can be incredibly useful for you and your relationships. Using the enneagram system as a way to foster better communication with our communities is what Kellie and I aim for!

Kellie Artis is a communications professional who specializes in producing authentic and engaging content for veteran and military spouse audiences. As the Communications Director at Virtual Veterans Communities, she's working to improve educational experiences for military-connected students through digital community building and virtual event production. Her work as an advocate for veteran and active-duty families at MILLIE continues to help alleviate the stress of frequent relocations on military families.

In this episode, we’ll be diving into enneagram typing and how it can help milspouses and service members better communicate their needs.
