What happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object? Well, it can either be a recipe for a really great relationship…or a not-so-great one. But when a Peacemaker and a Challenger are both healthy, they bring out the best in each other.
Today’s guests, Christine and Steve Bailey show us how learning to balance their differences as an Enneagram 9 and an Enneagram 8 has helped their marriage and their business thrive. We explore the dynamics between their relationship and how learning to speak each other’s language and tapping into the other’s strengths fosters a perfect yin-yang relationship.

ABOUT CHRISTINE AND STEVE BAILEY
Christine Bailey is a farmer, writer, and dreamer growing deep roots with her chef husband and two young daughters on their seventeen-acre Kindred Farm in the hills of Santa Fe, Tennessee. Christine grew up an Italian American Jersey girl before leaving the northeast for college at Belmont University in Nashville, where she met her husband, Steven.
In 2009, they became interested in the local food movement while living in Dallas, Texas, and started Urban Acres, an organic produce co-op that grew to over 2,400 families. In 2015, she and her husband began their own farming journey with the Kindred Farm and have been welcoming people to the land and around the table with food they have grown.
Christine shares her adventures and inspiration on her website, Christine Marie Bailey, is a contributing writer on The Art of Simple, and cohosts The Art of Simple podcast with Tsh Oxenreider.
Steven Bailey, a.k.a. "The Korean Farmer," is a chef, farmer, podcast host, menu-creator, and farm-to-table consultant in Santa Fe, TN. Raised by a mother from the rice fields of South Korea and a father who grew up on a North Carolina tobacco farm, Steven has been trained by his taste buds and unique cultural heritage rooted in food and agriculture. He lives with his family on 17 acres in Santa Fe, TN at Kindred Farm, where they raise sustainable produce and gather the community around long tables under the stars several times a year at unique farm-to-table events called Kindred Dinners.
Steven attended Baylor University in Waco, TX, where he began cooking and baking and was probably the only guy in his fraternity to own a Kitchen Aid Mixer. Right out of college and living in Dallas, Steven started a missions travel company called 963 Missions and a fair-wage coffee company before founding Urban Acres, an organic produce co-op, market, and urban farm, in 2009. After selling Urban Acres in 2015, he moved his family to the rolling green hills of Santa Fe, Tennessee where they broke ground and began Kindred Farm.
