What happens when the interviewer becomes the interviewee?
If you’ve ever had a creative impulse that simply won’t let go—or felt overwhelmed by the state of our planet—this episode is for you.
In Episode 7, I hand the reins to fellow coach and collaborator Jeni Rogers, who turns the questions I usually ask my guests back on me. We talk about the strengths and challenges of my Enneagram Type Three personality, the creative impulse behind Inner Ecology, and the experiences that shaped why I felt compelled to create this podcast—including a few personal stories I’ve never shared before.
I hope you’ll join me for this behind-the-scenes conversation and follow Inner Ecology on Apple Podcast or Spotify for more Enneagram interviews and explorations of resources that boost our resiliency.
