Y’all. It’s happening. It’s time for season 7 of AMP to come to a close. For our finale, I really wanted to sum up everything we’ve been talking about this season. In addition to going through all 9 numbers, finishing up with Jeanette Tapley last week on Enneagram 9s, we have spoken to experts like Suzanne Stabile on how we can treat our stress numbers since we as adoptive moms are often dealing with tough situations and trying to handle them with grace and love. We’ve talked to Beth McCord about how God has gifted each of us with an attribute of His own to reflect Him to the world. We talked to Joey Schewee on how we can look at our kids and families through the lens of the Enneagram, and we are wrapping it all up by chatting all about rest and how we can truly refill and recharge and get ready to go back out there and be the Warrior Moms that we are.  I’ve been able to ask just about every guest this season how they find true rest, and I always include the caveat that I don’t mean surface-level rest and self-care, but real-deal rest. Here to chat with us all about this for each number is the incredible Ryan Mayfield. Ryan sat down to tell us our core longing based on our number and how we can overcome this longing through Jesus and find that true rest that we crave...https://theadoptivemompodcast.com/blog/ryanmayfield

9s are easygoing, complacent, calming, and amazing listeners. They always strive to make their environment peaceful and inviting for everyone. Literally, everyone. They are welcoming and want all to feel invited, included, and safe. Since they are the crown of the Enneagram, so to speak, they hold qualities of all of the types and can get along easily with just about everyone. They seek to understand others and hold space for their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to be validated and heard. I am so excited to re-introduce you guys to Jeanette Tapley. She’s going to talk to us all about being an Enneagram 9 on this adoption journey! She told us her entire adoption story back in season 3, so you can listen in on that if you haven’t already and then hop on this week’s episode to hear all about Enneagram 9s and adoption!... https://theadoptivemompodcast.com/blog/jeanettetapley2

Enneagram 8s are called The Challengers. They are motivated by the desire to protect themselves and their loved ones at all costs. They also feel a strong pull to remain in control of their own lives and trajectories, and this makes their basic fear of being controlled by others to be hurt by others. 8s are the highest energy number on the Enneagram, and they get much of this energy from confrontation. They are quick-thinking and take a direct approach to everything, and they REALLY appreciate it when others take a direct approach with them as well. They are less relational and more resourceful than other numbers on the Enneagram, which gives them a unique perspective of seeing things logically AND being motivated to do something about it. All of this is why they make amazing adoptive moms! They protect their people with fierce loyalty and they seek to keep the world a safe place for those in their care. Adopted kids need this kind of protection and safety in their lives!  Here to chat with us all about being an adoptive mom and Enneagram 8 is is the one and only Olympic gold medalist, Wheaties box alumni, and incredibly awesome human being all around, Laura Wilkinson! If you want to listen to Laura’s complete adoption story, you can check out episode 67, but today, we’re talking all about being an Enneagram 8 on this crazy adoption ride we’re on as adoptive moms.... https://theadoptivemompodcast.com/blog/laurawilkinson2
