How to Improve Your Relationships with Deborah Egerton

In this episode

I’M RETURNING WITH DEBORAH EGERTON.

In this episode, Dr. Deborah Egerton and I explore the transformative power of the Enneagram, a system of personality archetypes that beautifully blends ancient wisdom with modern psychology. We share how understanding our Enneagram types has led us to a deeper sense of self-awareness, improved relationships, and opened the door to greater compassion for ourselves and others. Together, we emphasize how essential community is in this journey of self-discovery and reflect on the importance of language when navigating our connections with others. We also touch on how we can transmute our pain into beauty and why it’s crucial to foster genuine acceptance rather than settling for mere tolerance in our relationships.
