Learning to Slow Down and Embrace Solitude as an Enneagram 7 with Elle Pugh

On this week’s episode of Enneagram IRL, we meet with Elle Pugh, registered Nurse and Certified Enneagram Professional Coach, who is passionate about joining others on their journey to self-discovery, healing and liberation. Upon reaching burnout while working as a bedside nurse eight years ago, Elle transitioned to the startup space, leading a team of 30 medical professionals. It was during that time Elle learned about the Enneagram and began using it for her own personal and professional growth as well as to help her team work together more effectively. Inspired by the healing potential with the Enneagram, Elle became a Certified Enneagram Coach and Consultant through the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy in 2020. She now coaches individuals and teams through the lens of the Enneagram to live healthier, more integrated lives. Elle lives in Austin with her husband Reagan and their dog Lily.
