Trusting My Gut as an Enneagram Type 4

New goal in life!

From now on I am going to work on listening to my gut and activating my gut center. Which is gonna be hard because I am very much a heart-centered person. My heart is the one that makes most of the decisions in my life. But my gut is where I’m supposed to be the most confident, the most daring, the most courageous. I want to be more of all of that! So does that mean I’m going against my Enneagram type? Not exactly.

The Enneagram has taught me a lot about balance. I’ve learned to respect the traits of other types, even if I’m not that Type. For example, I can respect a Type 1’s organizational skills, believe that they are a bit too rigid (if you ask me), and acknowledge that I need some of that organization in my life, too. That kind of respect is what we’re working on today. I don’t usually listen to my gut, but it doesn’t hurt to try it out, like a Type 1 does.

In this very personal episode, I’ll be sharing some updates on my life, my new goals, and how I’ll be listening to my gut and not just my heart. And also why listening to my gut apparently means barreling down the side of a mountain in Slovenia at top speed on skis? Gut people are very adventurous people and I guess I’m one of them now...

Decoding Enneagram Typing With Kellie Artis

Enneagram typing can be tricky for people in the military lifestyle. The frequent relocation, changes to plans, and being separated from your spouse can make you look like an Enneagram type you may not recognize. But that’s also not a bad thing, funnily enough. It’s a learning tool in and of itself!

This is why me and my guest, Kellie Artis, love the enneagram framework! You always have a core type, which never changes, but as we move through life’s stressors, our strategies change, earning which traits and characteristics you take on during troubling times can be incredibly useful for you, and your relationships. Using the enneagram system as a way to foster better communication with our communities is what Kellie and I aim for!

Kellie Artis is a communications professional who specializes in producing authentic and engaging content for veteran and military spouse audiences. As the Communications Director at Virtual Veterans Communities, she's working to improve educational experiences for military-connected students through digital community building and virtual event production. Her work as an advocate for veteran and active-duty families at MILLIE continues to help alleviate the stress of frequent relocations on military families.

In this episode, we’ll be diving into enneagram typing and how it can help milspouses and service members better communicate their needs.

Never without a passion project or side hustle, Kellie also freelances as a remote live stream producer, video editor, and content strategist. She's also pursuing a Narrative Enneagram Teacher Certification through The Narrative Enneagram, with plans to use this powerful self-discovery tool to help the military spouse community. Her volunteer experience includes nonprofit board service with the Military Family Advisory Network and Sweet Tea Shakespeare.

A native of South Carolina, Kellie earned a bachelor's degree in communications from the College of Charleston. She's currently living in Fayetteville, NC with her active-duty husband - stationed at Fort Bragg - and two children.
