In this episode, Wendy sits down with Dr. Brandy Stamper, author of Bridge the Purpose Gap and a recovering people-pleaser who knows that self-awareness without action keeps you stuck. Brandy uses the Enneagram and Human Design to help women build a blueprint for their lives, because understanding yourself is just the beginning. The real work is turning insight into action.
They explore:
- Why self-awareness without action keeps you stuck, and how to bridge that gap
- How your Enneagram type determines the kind of boundaries you need
- Why breaking even small generational patterns creates massive impact for the people you love
This is a conversation about guilt, grace, and designing a life that's built for who you actually are, not who you think you should be. Press play and discover why understanding yourself is just the beginning.
