What it’s like to be an Enneagram Four? What can you do when you struggle with contentment and comparison? And how in the world can you practice silence when your house is loud?

In this episode, I talk with Sarah E. Westfall, an Enneagram Four. We talk about:

  • the difference between rigidity and rhythms,
  • the spiritual discipline of sharing the spotlight,
  • how to not stay stuck in your emotions.
  • and why you’ll want to create your own soul practices.

There is So. Much. Practical. Love in this episode. To learn even more about the Four, go here where you’ll learn about anger and the Four, books for spiritual growth, gift ideas, goal-setting, parenting, and the pandemic.
