In this episode, I'm joined by the insightful and delightful Christa Hardin, an Enneagram and Relationship expert, who is helping us see how understanding the Enneagram can enhance our vacations with our beloved-but-different travel companions.
You might remember our Enneagram Travel Style series, where we dove into the vacation tendencies of each Enneagram type. But today, we're taking it up a notch. Christa introduces us to the concept of Enneagram Stances and reveals how they play a pivotal role in group dynamics during travel.
Prepare to have your mind blown as Christa unveils a simple yet profound recipe for achieving balance within your travel group. By understanding and harmonizing each type's stance, you'll ensure that everyone's needs are met while each person is being pushed a bit outside of their comfort zone (in a good way). With this recipe, the trip can become a collective exploration of joy and fulfillment for everyone involved.
Whether you're just dipping your toes into the world of Enneagram or you're a seasoned enthusiast, this conversation promises to offer fresh insights and practical strategies for harmonious group travel.
