    Parenting an Enneagram 4 with Tritype 271 Kim Stratton

    In celebration of mothers day, I asked my own mom what the best part of being a mother is, to which she responded that she most enjoys being friends with her adult children. My mother and I spent many years struggling in our relationship and I am so thankful to say today that she is one of my very best friends. In this episode, we discuss how we went from a tumultuous relationship to the friendship we have today. She also offers advice for enneagram 4 moms from wisdom that she has gained in her 30 years of parenting. If I tried to write down her recipe for how to be friends with adult children, it would include fun and games upon games, humility, forgiveness, effort, and lots of good food around her table. The enneagram has been instrumental in creating a good relationship between my mother and I. But, certainly, the even greater secret can be found in looking at the faith of my mother. The truth about humanity is that we mess up and break things. Restoration of relationship is always a miracle and is only possible through the power of compassion and forgiveness, and through choosing love. I am so thankful that my mother instilled these values in me and that today I have her as a friend. My mom is equal parts fun, supportive, and good. She makes life a party, but she also knows how to create order and command a room. She is the queen of hospitality and is the most generous person I know. Your kids love you and appreciate you, Mom. Happy mothers day!!

    Type 4 Explained in Five Minutes

    This podcast will take place primarily through the context of interviews and will be beginner friendly. That being said, this episode is here to provide a brief overview of the type 4 before we jump into season one. In this episode, I will review the type 4, wings, subtype stacking, and tri-types. Especially if you are new to the enneagram, I recommend that you seek out other resources as you enjoy this space. The Enneagram Institute provides a more thorough overview of the type 4 and will also include information on levels of health. You can also sign up through the enneagram institute for daily enneathoughts for your type… ive been getting the daily emails for 5 years and it has allowed for so much healing and growth! The RHETI test is great tool for typing. This is a good place to receive your ranking of all 9 types. However, I recommend reading further on each type for greater self-discovery as tests can have a tendency to mistype us. "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron is an excellent resource for this purpose. Reading through all 9 types will also allow for better understanding of the people around you. Sleeping at last created an album with songs through the perspective of each type thats also really beautiful and enlightening. Typology and The Art of Growth are other enneagram podcasts to look into. Truity and The Enneagramer can offer more information on subtype stacking. Lastly, Katherine Fauvre founded the idea of tritypes. Thank you for giving this episode a listen! You can look forward to the first 3 interviews being released shortly as we jump into season one, "What's it like to be an enneagram 4?".
