106: The great, the gifted and pain in the ass parts of being an Enneagram 7 with Kasey

Today we discuss parenting and the Enneagram with my daughter Kasey!⁣⁣Kasey is the reason I started really diving deep into the Enneagram.⁣⁣⁣Listen now⁣⁣⁣⁣From the time she was a little girl, I knew Kasey and I were very different.⁣⁣Being the mom to a daughter comes with a huge responsibility—we teach them how to be women and what they can expect from other women.⁣⁣Being very different from her, I didn’t want to minimize who she was but bring out the best in her and who she was designed to be.⁣⁣I birthed an enthusiast.⁣⁣The Enneagram 7 couldn’t be more different than the 8, but the beautiful thing about having a 7 is she has taught me how to lean into my 7 wing, and I’ve helped her lean into her 8 wing.⁣⁣“I assumed I was a 7 right away due to my outer shell.”⁣⁣“But after diving deeper into the Enneagram,” Kasey shares, “I found other parts of me as well.”⁣⁣“As a 7, I need structure, but routine freaks me out. To make structure fun, I have to make the journey to the destination a whole experience so I get where I need to be.”⁣
