QUOTES
"The Enneagram is not about putting you in a box. It's about showing you the box you're already in—and how to get out of it."
"The real purpose of the Enneagram is not self-description, but self-transcendence."
"We must learn to include the shadow. Real growth begins when we can be honest about what we don’t want to see in ourselves."
"The work of transformation is not about fixing ourselves—it’s about becoming who we truly are."
"Every Enneagram type is a strategy for love—how we try to receive it, give it, or defend against it."
