Meanderings with Trudy

Meander Again: The PauseCast with Angie Arendt, how the Enneagram can change the world

Episode Summary

As I'm on break for Christmas 2023, I'm replaying episodes to cover the time. I've decided to replay all eight episodes on the Enneagram that Angie Arendt and I did on the PauseCast. I hope you enjoy these! This is our final meander on the Enneagram as we break for the summer. We’ll be back in the fall with something more… Enneagram, perhaps… right now we look at how we can save the world, when we show up as ourselves.

Episode Notes

Today we do a little recapping, and also reflect the Enneagram into our lives moving forward. How we can play with the characteristics of our type, and begin to learn how to choose how to respond to situations as opposed to simply react in our age-old way. This can create some unease in our relationships because we are acting outside of how others expect us to be… in our personal lives, and in our work lives too.

In short, the Enneagram is both information (what’s my type, what are the gifts and challenges of my type), and a practice of pausing and paying attention to who I am and how that plays into my relationship with myself and others. How do I show up with my gifts? And how can that affect the world? We talk about how the Enneagram can save the world… yeah, that big and that small too.

There’s this and more in this episode, I hope you’ll stick with us as we explore. And please, share our work widely, give us a review or a drop us a few stars. If you have comments or questions, please send them to meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com. Angie and I will be back in the fall with some fresh meanders, but I will repost past episodes over the summer so stay tuned for “Meandering Again” episodes.
