The Journey Towards Wholeness
by Suzanne Stabile
Let’s talk about Suzanne Stabile’s latest book, The Journey Toward Wholeness: Enneagram Wisdom for Stress, Balance, and Transformation. Since my last promotion of this book, I have finished it. Twice. (Thanks goodness for Audible or I would NEVER be able to read like I do. Maybe the real Reverse Sponsor is Audible?) Directly from the book’s online description:
“In everything from health care and politics to technology and economics, we are experiencing feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety. In the Enneagram's wisdom, our number determines how we respond. We automatically move to another number when we're feeling stress and to yet another when we're feeling secure. Such moves may help us feel better temporarily but don't last.”
From the very beginning of this book, I started re-evaluating the ways I have processed parts of my story that have made a lasting impression on my life. As we are going to talk more about today, the Enneagram is an incredible tool for development and understanding, but this book is a deeper dive into how we can use it for healing and growth to be the best versions of ourselves.
So this is me, once again, out loud, reminding myself that this podcast is a project to help others and share what I’ve learned and not the end-all, be-all of burnout genius. It never hurts to be intentional about reminders like this.
If you are my friend in real life, you will probably hear me suggest this book to you at some point in the near future, but regardless, I can’t suggest too soon or too often to get your hands on it ASAP! The work to better ourselves is just that - work, and the Enneagram is an incredible tool to do so.

Love Thy Client
With as much talk as we have had about setting healthy boundaries and prioritizing our own needs, the phrase “Love Thy Client” is going to feel counter-intuitive. But what if I told you that one of the ways that we can prevent burnout is by taking our relationships with these clients and customers to the next level? In this episode we talk about 3 ways we can go the extra-mile with our clients while simultaneously taking care of ourselves on our own burnout journey.
