In this episode, Milton speaks with Seema Patel, a dedicated advocate, therapist, and educator committed to creating inclusive spaces. Seema talks about her journey towards her realization of being Enneagram Type - Self-Preservation Two and why that resonated with her more than Type Eight. With this type’s emphasis on self-care and boundaries, this contributes to her being protective of her inner circle, their time and energy as well as a helpful travel companion. Seema also talks about how being a Self-Preservation Two led to her work in a specific area of mental health for marginalized people at Hampton House, Nashville’s first BIPOC- and queer-owned counseling center.

In this episode, Milton speaks with Chelsea Witbrook, a spiritual director and Enneagram educator based in Minneapolis, about Enneagram Type–Sexual One, also known as “zeal.” Chelsea talks about the uncomfortable awakening of discovering her Enneagram Type, while also coming to accept her personality. The question–Would you rather be happy or right?--changed her life and a valuable thing she feels for this type to meditate on. She also talks about her book, Blessing My Demons, about the inner critic, and how it tends to disguise itself as an inner spiritual coach for the Sexual One. On a more positive note, Chelsea shares how this instinct gives her a willingness to take risks and the charisma to keep people engaged.

ENNEAGRAM Certification

https://kaizen-enneagram-community.mn.co/

In this episode, Milton speaks with R. Karl Hebenstreit, an author, keynote speaker, a certified Enneagram coach and organizational development practitioner. Karl discusses how he realized that the Enneagram–which he learned during his PhD studies in Organizational Psychology–could be used as a model for business applications, from team building to conflict resolution. This eventually led to his book, “The How and Why: Taking Care of Business with the Enneagram,” which provides practical tips, tools and techniques to apply the Enneagram to all challenges. He then extracted from the chapter on decision-making to a children’s book, “Nina & The Really, Really Tough Decision.” Karl shares how this book–that is available in four languages–introduces children to the Enneagram to help them understand that there is diversity in perspectives in the world and why it’s important to know each of these nine perspectives, their drivers, motivations and gifts that they bring.
