Has anyone told you, "thanks for hanging in there" today?
Thanks for hanging in there, <<First Name>>. #prayerhands
I am going to introduce you to a real VIP in my life. But first, a story.
I used to keep all the foods on my plate separate from each other when I was a kid. I didn't like them touching each other. I remember I ate more slowly than others and often was the last to finish...I needed to do more organizing and management.
I used to do this with my friends and communities, too. Still have some compartmentalization going, but have made a lot of progress when it comes to letting the proverbial foods touch each other on the life plate. It is vulnerable AND totally worth it.
I'm going to bring in my FriendHusband to this Financial Wellness realm. This is letting the broccoli and potatoes touch each other on the plate. Gulp. He has been a rock for me for years. One of the kindest and smartest human beings I have ever met. So much of my growth and development has been supported in our relationship, and I'm called to share his depth with my peeps. C'mon, let's go meet him!

Financial Wellness Realm, I am pleased to introduce you to George Peterson, Ph.D. There is much to say but let's start with The Enneagram.
Sometimes people bristle when they think of The Enneagram as just another typing tool. Something to limit or try and control people. (And when I say "people" I was also in that category at first.) George has taught me so incredibly much about it over the years...from a gentle, spiritual, radically kind perspective. I can barely do it justice in a few minutes but here is some of my own experience with it, for myself as well as relating with my Dad (RIP).

George is the friend I mention in that video. It was life-changing to have him teach me the system, as well as support my parents in relating to their respective Enneagram positions. My Mom and I still talk about it a decade later and have so much fun with topics I can promise you weren't always fun for us.
I invited George to do an Enneagram and Money video series with me, and I am really looking forward to creating it and sharing it with you!
This is a lovely overview about Enneagram and Money.

If you know your Enneagram position, please send it to me! (I relate to the One position.)
And if you don't yet know it for yourself but would like to, I recommend this set of questions for the quick first time. No right or wrong answers, of course.

(To take the whole enchilada, you'll want the 144 question RHETI version by Riso-Hudson.)
According to Jazmine Reed-Clark on The Financial Diet website:
"While on the surface it may appear to be the new fad or a palette-cleanser in between talking... Sex and the City character-identification, it can prove to be an insightful tool in self-discovery and personal development. It explores your greatest fears and deepest desires and how they ultimately act as motivators in your external and internal worlds.
The Enneagram has played a crucial role in my life over the past year. It has helped strengthen the communication within my marriage and accompanied much of the work with my therapist. Financially, the Enneagram has helped me identify budgeting blindspots, set attainable goals, and develop better habits specific to my strengths and weaknesses."
