This week we dive deep into the transformative journey of midlife with the incredible Chip Conley, author of Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better with Age.
Chip, an Enneagram 3, shares his personal experiences and insights on navigating the complexities of identity, success, and the quest for authenticity as we age through the lens of the Enneagram. Chip beautifully articulates the transition from the ego-driven pursuits of the first half of life to a more soulful existence in the second half and shares how this shift can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
We also explore:
the importance of editing our lives to focus on what truly matters, emphasizing the value of clarity and intentionality as we curate our second act.
the idea of awakening to wholeness as we age, integrating various aspects of ourselves and embracing the beauty of our unique journeys.
Listen now to gain valuable insights that can help you embrace this stage of life with open arms and a renewed sense of purpose.
As always, thank you for being a part of our Typology community. May you find love, joy, peace, healing, and rest in your journey.
