The Growth Accelerator: How Your Partner's Type Makes You Better

This podcast covers the fascinating way that in marriage we create a union that is something more than either of us was before. The glow is our fun way of describing how we don't just learn our partner's type but we actually take traits on! This means each type takes on a different shade, depending on their partner's type and how then they can share their unique couple glow. Christa is joined by fellow creative Alaina Pompa, the artist and designer behind our new Enneagram Glow Guides as they introduce the concept, the contest, and talk about how very different their Type 7 marriages are!

You've probably heard of the counterphobic 6 but did you know that each of the Enneagram types has a countertype? Christa goes through each of the 9 types and discusses the countertype flowing in the other direction of the type's usual positioning. Different from the counterpassion, the countertype involves wanting the same result but using a different defense mechanism to get there!

Over a quarter of American families are affected by miscarriage and infant loss and almost as many have struggled with infertility yet it's a topic that's not often discussed in marriage and parenting circles with ease. Our guest on this extra special episode is AnnMarie Jones, mom of 3 and co-founder of Bridge A Life Adoption and Foster Care Ministry, and her story today as an Enneagram 2 is every bit as heartwarming as it is compelling. Join AnnMarie and Christa in a conversation about finding hope in a season of struggle, tips for those dealing with infertility, and the very special calling one often gets when they're asked to walk an unexpected road.  Show links: www.BridgeALife.com Head on over to enneagramandmarriage.com to check out all of our amazing freebies and resources!

Listen in as Christa helps you to understand mental health struggles paralleling each Enneagram type at their most stressful levels. When you're trying to find a road map, or what is clinically called a treatment plan, it's important not to self-diagnose, but to go to a trained mental health professional for an assessment. This episode is a guide for whom Enneagram work may just not be not enough at least initially. It is also a gentle reminder that it's OK to need extra support, medication or therapy when we have those darker seasons so we can get back on track with wonderful life goals and finding joy in the everyday! This episode covers types as they may correlate to: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Factitious Disorder Histrionic Personality Disorder Narcissistic Personality Disorder Major Depressive Disorder Avoidant Personality Disorder Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Bipolar Disorder ADHD for children and adults Intermittent Explosive Disorder Dissociative disorders Resources: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/managing-stress-anxiety.html www.nami.org www.mayoclinic.org https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-career-within-you/201210/is-the-achiever-my-genes-my-upbringing-or-me https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-career-within-you/201210/is-the-achiever-my-genes-my-upbringing-or-me Head on over to enneagramandmarriage.com to check out all of our amazing freebies and resources!
