In our last bonus module, we have a VERY special guest joining us to chat about what it’s like to be an Enneagram 7 (with 8 wing), and how it shows up as an Author, Editor, Brainstormer Extraordinaire (my words, not hers).

About Kristin: Kristin Dwyer grew up under the California sun and still prays every day for a cloudy sky. When she’s not writing books about people kissing, Kristin is a part-time hair model and wants you to know she is full-time TSA PRECHECK, and one time a credible news outlet asked for her opinion on K-pop (it was the best day of her life). Please do not talk to her about your fandom, she will try to join.

    I loved so many aspects of this course! But learning the impact of my type on how I approach writing (& critiquing!) was so insightful. I love that I can utilize these resources to do the work to either recognize & correct when I start moving towards stress, or acknowledge & be intentional about recognizing when and why I'm in a place of growth. Excited to build on this solid foundation!

  • Alaina N.

    This class took the enneagram from a concept and turned it into a way to take my characters to another level of realness that they hadn’t had before. It also shed some light on things that I can do for my type to assist me in the practice of my craft. Thank you, Lauren!

  • Taylor P.

    Lauren's course was eye-opening! I learned so much about myself and how to function with those around me. Learning about how I (and others) process and give feedback was invaluable. Not to mention, having another character development skill in my toolbox!
