Today we are welcoming Ruth Ann Lane to the podcast. Type nines can have difficulty making decisions and going for things. In addition nines are very unaware of their own anger, and as such have difficulty dealing with issues with others, especially because they like harmony and so avoid showing disagreement, and let the anger build up. As a result sometimes that anger then spills out in some not so great ways.

Ruth talks to us today about her love for agriculture and how she got started in as an ag teacher. In addition she dives into what it’s like to function as a nine, what struggles they face, and how to best deal with both the things that come easy for nines and the things that are difficult. Nines like to keep the peace and we dive into how that can be both beneficial, and when nines need to recognize that’s what is happening and deliberately make changes.
