A thank you gift inside...


Hi Reader,

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

Over the past few weeks, I've been sharing about Brave Becoming and the live cohort launching in January.

Whether you joined, forwarded an email to a friend, or simply took the time to read what I sent, thank you. It means more than you know.

I know your inbox has been flooded lately with Black Friday and Christmas deals. (Mine too!)

So the fact that you opened this email? That you're still here?
I don't take that lightly.

I also really enjoyed the hilarious responses I got back to my epic typo.
I promise to always keep the "f" in "shift" from now on! 🤦‍♂️

As a thank you, I want to give you something.

I've put together a free resource you'll find helpful, especially if you're in the middle of a transition right now:

The Enneagram Guide to Navigating Change

Inside, you'll discover:

  • The core struggle each Enneagram type experiences in transitions
  • The internal narrative that maybe tripping you up or keeping you stuck
  • What's particularly hard for your type during life transitions
  • Your Enneagram type's invitation to growth

Even if you're not sure of your type yet, this guide will help you understand why transitions feel the way they do and what to do about it.

(Download the PDF version by clicking the download icon in the upper right corner of the web page.)

And here's something else I want you to know:

I heard from many of you who are excited to join the Brave Becoming live cohort.

But I also heard from people who said things like:

"I want this, but the live times don't work with my schedule."
"This sounds perfect, but the investment feels like too much right now."
"I need to go at my own pace, not someone else's."

I've been sitting with that feedback. And I have something to share with you tomorrow that you're going to want to see.

Keep an eye on your inbox.

With gratitude,

Matt Rhodes
Certified Enneagram Coach and Spiritual Director


P. S. What's been the hardest part of your current transition, Reader?
The decision-making? The uncertainty? The identity shift?

Hit reply and tell me. (I read every response, and your answers help me know how to serve you better.)

Hi Reader, I have something time-sensitive for you at the end of this email. But before we get there, I want to share something personal. It ties directly into what you might be feeling right now. A few weeks ago, I was cleaning out my home office as I prepared to leave my job and step into something new. I sat on the floor surrounded by boxes I’d brought home from work, a stack of books, and piles of papers. I kept picking things up… then setting them back down again. Not quite ready to...

Hi Reader, The other day I was driving when one of my favorite songs started playing on K-Love. I hadn't heard it in quite a while, but it felt very appropriate for those of us who are in the midst of a significant life transition. The song is "Weary Traveler" by Jordan St. Cyr. Here are the lyrics: Weary travelerBeat down from the storms that you have weatheredFeels like this road just might go on foreverCarry on You keep on givin'But every day this world just keeps on takin'Your tired heart...

Hi Reader, Transitions can feel like you’re inside a snow globe that’s been shaken up. And if you're like most people I talk to, you're not just dealing with one major change. You're navigating three, four, sometimes five significant shifts all at once. Maybe it's a career that's up in the air. Adult kids who are still trying to find their path. Aging parents who need more care. A church community that's changing. An important relationship that's shifted. A loss you're still processing. One...
