Life in the Middle® with Sharona Patrice
Navigating the Holidays with the Enneagram feat. Stefanie Shaughnessy
The holidays have a way of bringing out all sides of us, from the joyful to the stressed and everything in between. In this conversation, I talk to my friend and Enneagram coach, Stefanie Shaughnessy, to explore how understanding your Enneagram type can help you handle conflict as you move through the holiday season with more awareness.
We talk about the quirks of each type, unpack how to use the Enneagram to navigate family dynamics, and how to recognize triggers without losing your cool. Stefanie shares what the Enneagram can teach us about self-awareness, emotional regulation, and compassion for ourselves and others.
Since the holidays can feel both beautiful and burdensome, this conversation will help you see yourself and the people you love with more grace and understanding.
