Enneagram and Marriage

Special Episode: Infertility, Adoption, and Foster Care Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

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.

Bonus Episode: Mental Health, the Church, and the Enneagram Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

The Enneagram is infiltrating the church and that's no doubt a gift, since it offers a framework for connection across personalities. However, amidst the current "hustle" mentality of the church, there is great need to grow in caring for those with deep mental health struggles and addictions. Christa is joined by therapist and Enneagram 3 Alexandra Thompson, LMSW, owner of Cumberland Counseling Services for a conversation about growing as a body and honoring even the most broken people.

The Enneagram and Corresponding Mental Health Diagnoses Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Listen in as Christa helps you to understand mental health struggles paralleling each Enneagram type at their most stressful levels.

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!
