I'm retired. When answering the questions for the quiz, I sometimes think about how I was when working vs how I am now and the answers are sometimes different. Which way should I go?
Will you be doing any coach training on the Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness content? I do a lot of "Playing Big" (Tara Mohr) in my coaching, and this seems like it would be a great complement. It continues to amaze (and sadden) me how difficult it is for women to articulate what they really want.
Curious to hear your thoughts on using the Enneagram in parenting, specifically around typing our children and supporting them toward their growth path/ number.
Hi Courtney, I’m so excited you have a sub stack after being introduced to you by Elise’s podcast. I was wondering how to get started with the enneagram. I’m in Australia and I’m not sure it’s such a big thing here, but I’m so curious and keen to do the test. Thank you (side bar - please come to Aus to do a talk with Elise! I would be there in a minute!).
As a SP 2, my question is this…I have been using the enneagram for years as my main tool to come to know my true self. When it comes to knowing what I need, want or desire I am blank. It’s like I have amnesia. I am 65 years old and I don’t know what I want. I have outsourced so much of myself over the years to please others, I have lost the ability to know my own needs and wants. I know what I don’t want. I also am aware that I am afraid of making a wrong choice. I am really stuck, and it’s frustrating to not know how to know my own needs and wants. How do I connect to this part of myself?
As a SX/SP5w4, my deepest desire is for intimate connection. I’m lucky to have married for the first time in my life (at a ripe old age) to a loving man who doesn’t place limits on my desires. Now it’s up to me to explore how I limit myself while holding both the desire for true connectivity AND a longstanding pervasive misanthropy combined with self-reliance. I’m deeply curious about the possibility of getting out of my own way, about the potential for trusting in love to carry the day. Any handy hints? ;-)
Oh, and also this: once upon a time it was easy to challenge visceral fears (jumping out of a Cessna, fire-walking, all that 90s stuff) — but when approaching the boxes in my garage to this day, I choke up with anxiety and a deep grief, and quickly turn around. Is my avoidance around the collected possessions of my life related to my earlier question about intimacy? I’ve often wondered but can’t draw a line between the two.

I'd love to, and am thinking on this. More to come, thanks so much!
