REPLAY: There's Power in Peace, feat. Lysa Terkeurst (Enneagram 9) [S04-006]
We want to thank all of our listeners for tuning in and sharing our episodes -- helping us reach our biggest milestone yet -- 11 million downloads! As we celebrate this month, we'll be revisiting a few of Ian's favorite episodes that show just how powerful the Enneagram is as a tool for personal transformation.
In today's replay, we take a look at the adaptable, caring, and "go with the flow" nature of Enneagram Nines. To keep the peace, Nines can over-accommodate in an unconscious effort to avoid conflict and "fall asleep" to their own needs.
Our guest, Lysa Terkeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Enneagram Nine, explains why it's important for The Peacemaker not to confuse the desire for peace with the disease to please and to recognize the delight of being yourself.

“I would say to other women who are nines it is delightful to be a nine but it’s also powerful to be a nine. Don’t think that just because your natural tendency is for peace that there’s not power in that. I think there’s a lot of power in that.”
