Ali is kindhearted, easygoing, reliable, encouraging, and someone who is always up for a fun time. She is a mama to a toddler, a Colorado photographer, and an overall beautiful human being. We’ve loved the times we’ve gotten to spend with her–she is, as our Enneagram Coffee friends would say, “the quiet forest filled with the smell of pine and morning air.”
It was Ali’s older brother introduced her to the Enneagram several years ago. He loaned her The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile, and once she finished the book and took the test, she says she was totally hooked. Ali goes on to say, “I couldn’t believe how spot-on everything was and it was all so interesting. It’s been a journey of self-exploration since then.”
With a free day to do whatever she wants (no money/time limit) Ali’s dream day would be waking up next to her husband in a secluded cabin in the mountains somewhere. They’d enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the views. Later, they’d venture off for a hiking, exploring, and a little photography. Afterwards, she says, they’d cook dinner as a family and spend the evening around the campfire roasting marshmallows and playing games.
We love that Ali leads with an Enneagram type 9, and we had her type in mind when we shopped for Christmas Gift Ideas for an Enneagram 9 and Handmade Gifts for an Enneagram 9.
Now, let’s hear from Ali as she shares a few of her favorite products that might inspire you when seeing, knowing, and celebrating an Enneagram 9 in your life.
