Embracing The Enneagram And Surrendering To The Flow Of Life With Chad Prevost

“It’s about being able to listen to what’s inside and to give voice to it.” In this episode, Nick speaks with Chad Prevost about his journey of self-discovery and transformation. Chad shares his experiences with self-mastery, the Enneagram, and the importance of surrendering to the flow of life. Chad had a near-death experience that actually brought him closer to life and helped him decide to pursue his calling. What to listen for: Self-discovery and transformation require practices and experiences that go beyond intellectual understanding Letting go of control and surrendering to the flow of life can lead to profound growth and change The Enneagram is a powerful tool for understanding motivations and transforming oneself Struggles and setbacks can be opportunities for growth and self-reflection Being receptive and open to new experiences and perspectives can lead to a more interesting and fulfilling life “What’s fascinating about the Enneagram is it’s not about boxing people in but rather showing them how to get out of the box they’re already in.” The Enneagram helps people break free from limiting patterns and self-imposed constraints It’s not just a personality test but a tool for deep personal growth and self-awareness It encourages exploration of one’s potential beyond pre-defined “types.” The focus is on transformation and liberation, not labeling or stereotyping The Enneagram empowers individuals to understand their behaviors and grow beyond them “The Enneagram is a transformative, powerful typology that’s more than any other typology.” The Enneagram goes beyond surface-level categorization to support true inner change It integrates psychological depth with practical application in personal development Its transformative power lies in helping people understand the “why” behind their patterns Unlike other systems, it offers guidance for growth, not just self-description This tool is about unlocking potential and fostering long-term, meaningful transformation About Chad Prevost Chad holds a Masters of Divinity, an M.A. in Literature, and a Ph.D. in Creative Writing.
