Episode 77: the peacemaker

“I don't want to fall into that Enneagram nine mode who might typically want to be emotionally indolent and unwilling to exert myself or to focus on problems.”

The Enneagram 9 is often called "the Peacemaker." 9s are so skilled at creating harmony that we often don't even notice they're doing it. The challenge for 9s is to do what they're good at without avoiding the chaotic parts of life. Samantha Lee is a third-grade teacher and mom of three kids, and has lived in Oakland for a long time. But as someone who came to this country as a teenager, she knows just how hard it can be to find peace in a changing world.
