The Road Back to You with Jackie Brewster

Professional Certified Enneagram Coach Jackie Brewster shared her wisdom about the Enneagram and about the bestseller The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Susan Stabile on the Book Insights podcast. Here are some of her insights:

"I couldn't understand why I did what I did. Then I recognized these are patterns of behavior and they come from somewhere. It permissioned me to deep dive in my own life. From there I went on to become an Enneagram Coach, Author and Speaker."

"The things I thought were wrong about me - maybe are not wrong with me...There's nothing wrong with me, this is a coping strategy."

"Information is not transformation until you activate the information in your life."

"I have studied the Enneagram for over 10 years...I love to help people uncover and discover parts of themselves through Enneagram awareness and biblical truth. I like to help people activate information so they can make life changes."

"Why do you do what you do? 9 different personality types, 9 different ways of seeing the world and none of them are wrong. It's ok to view the world through your lens. What we want to do is open up some empathy and compassion."

"Each triad deals with core struggles. For 2,3,4 it's shame, 5,6,7 it's anxiety and for 8,9,1 it's anger."

"There's different ways that the types show up, it's like a spectrum of color, like there's different shades of blue."

"The narrative approach to the Enneagram is the best: Slowly reading and researching. If you take a test, the top 3 scores of the test is what you should start to look at. "

"Everything is around motivation - why you do it, not how you're doing it.All the numbers can have similar behaviors, but it's the motivation why that we're looking at."
