In this insightful discussion, Beth and Jeff share how, while every person is one Enneagram number, they are connected, influenced, and interact with so much more than that. When a couple pays attention to all the different parts of themselves and the other person, their marriage can move into a healthier direction. Each part of ourselves influence with us in every scenario, and when we are able to distinguish those parts, it allows us to have a complete view of ourselves and allows us to approach our marriages as our whole selves - not just from the perspective of our single Enneagram type.

Hillary is a YEC Certified Enneagram Coach, a PCCI Certified Life Coach, as well as a YouTuber that loves to teach the Enneagram in the simplest and easiest way possible. She loves Jesus, her family, coffee and decorating. She lives in Arizona with her amazing hubby, her two teenage boys, and her rescue dog. Her heart is to see people love themselves and love others. 

In this conversation, Hillary deep dives what subtypes are and why they matter. Each Enneagram type has the three instinctual subtypes: self-preservation, social, and sexual. Everyone has all three, but there is a dominant subtype that dictates how they operate and interact with others. Due to the vast variety that subtypes and wings bring to the Enneagram, every person is incredibly unique and cannot necessarily fit into an "Enneagram box" that so many of us try to put ourselves and others in. When we understand our Enneagram type and subtypes, we can truly flourish in the freedom of who we are.
