The Working Enneagram

Summary In this episode, host Kelsey Taylor interviews Beth McCord, co-founder of Your Enneagram Coach, about her career journey as an Enneagram nine and how the Enneagram has influenced her work and parenting. Beth shares insights into the challenges and joys of being a type nine mom, including the struggle to know and communicate her own needs, the importance of understanding and accepting her children's different motivations, and the need to balance guiding her children with allowing them to be their authentic selves. Beth and Kelsey discuss how the Enneagram can be used to understand and improve parenting, and they explore how each Enneagram type approaches parenting and the hopes and dreams they have for their children. They also discuss the concept of emotional sobriety and how parents can achieve it. Beth emphasizes the importance of being curious and open to their individual personalities. She shares personal anecdotes and practical tips for using the Enneagram to enhance parent-child relationships. Takeaways Understanding and accepting your own Enneagram type can help you navigate the challenges and joys of being a parent. As a parent, it's important to recognize and respect your children's different motivations and personalities. Avoid trying to make your children mini-versions of yourself; instead, guide them to be the best version of themselves. Parenting can be a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, as you learn to navigate your own fears, desires, and expectations. Parents should be curious about their children's personalities and avoid typing them at a young age. Using the Enneagram can enhance parent-child relationships and promote understanding and compassion. AWARE: Awareness, Welcoming, Asking, Receiving, and Engaging are key steps to achieving emotional sobriety.

In this episode, Kelsey Taylor interviews Enneagram Nines, Trey Johnson and Jamie Roucloux on their wings. In the context of the Enneagram, your wings are the two numbers directly adjacent to your primary Type. The 9w1 is known as “The Dreamer” and these two types blend well together. They both care about what is just and fair. The One seeks fairness through rules, while the Nine seeks fairness in making sure everyone has a chance to voice their opinion. When healthy this Nine is balanced and productive. They stand up for what they believe is right. They are self-assured and they share their opinions, thoughts, and ideas with confidence.When they are not healthy they are silently judgmental and resentful. They avoid their problems while quietly blaming others for their flaws. The 9w8 is known as “The Comfort Seeker” and this combination is like oil and water. The Nine wants to keep the peace and maintain harmony with others, while the Eight is all too comfortable and willing to vocalize when they disagree. When healthy this Nine is steady and able to stand their ground. They are independent, present to themselves, and fully connected with others. They are positive and have a calming presence. When they are not healthy they are quiet and withdrawn. Instead of working through conflict they avoid or cut the conflict completely out of their life leading to the very thing they want to avoid most: loss of connection with others.

In this episode, Kelsey Taylor interviews Enneagram Fours, Jayten Ames, and Dusty Green on their wings. In the context of the Enneagram, your wings are the two numbers directly adjacent to your primary Type. The 4w3 is known as the “Bohemian,” and these two personalities are seemingly at odds. The Four has a strong desire to express themselves authentically. At the same time, the Three consistently projects an image or version of themself to other that they believe others will accept and admire. The 4w5 is known as the “Aristocrat,” and this combination coexists quite naturally together. Both the Four and the Five are more inverted by nature. They both enjoy spending time retreating to their mind, the Four to daydream and the Five to process information. They both prefer to withdraw from others, the Four to experience their emotion and the Five to recharge.

In this episode, Kelsey Taylor interviews Enneagram Threes, Jacob Ferrell and Jesse Bates on their wings. In the context of the Enneagram, your wings are the two numbers directly adjacent to your primary Type. The 3w2 is known as the “Star.” These two combinations blend very well together. The Three, like the Two, is conscientious of how others receive them. Both the Three and the Two work hard to be likable and respectable. The 3w4 is known as the “Professional,” and this coupling is a very interesting one…Because while the Three wants to be a chameleon to easily adapt to each environment or group so they're accepted and admired, the Four wants to be a peacock and stand out for their unique qualities. The Three charms others with a false image of themself, while the Four demands authenticity.

In this episode, Kelsey Taylor is joined by licensed professional Counselor, Tracey Brock, as she talks about Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) and how it can serve as a tool in rewiring the brain. Being trained in Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, ETT, and Intimacy Therapy, Tracey now focuses on using ETT as her main tool in helping her patients dig deep and release their traumas. Through the use of light and color wavelengths, ETT can reach affected brain patterns that go to different parts of the body that make us feel the trauma, fear or anxiety. This therapy is one that helps you get in tune with your body and mind  to help you understand it and know how to better handle your emotions. The Type Three teaches us that being connected with our body and mind can help us in dealing with trauma.  This episode will help inspire and motivate you to search for where your disconnect is in order to reconnect with your emotions.    Highlights & Resources: Challenging aspect of being a counselor  Advice for people experiencing friction in their relationships How Tracey found out about Enneagram  The difference between talk therapy and Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT)  How ETT works  How colors affect patients in ETT  The similarities of the colors to enneagram numbers  Tracey's definition of Trauma  The common trauma Tracey works with  The protocol of conducting ETT sessions  Sign up for sessions withTracey: Text 512-364-8548 or Email us at office@brocktransformationaltherapy.com  Dr. Steven Vasquez: www.vazqueztraining.com LPC Consulting: www.lpc-associates.com  The Body Keeps the Score Book :www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma  Mistype Guide / Type Six   Connect with Tracey: Website: www.brocktransformationaltherapy.com  Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/brocktransformationaltherapy  LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tracey-brock    Connect with Kelsey Taylor: Website: https://www.valleypointcoaching.com Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/kelsey-taylor-106739207 Instagram: @theworkingenneagram Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/theworkingenneagram

Sixes defy the "fearful" stereotype. I've had a lot of experiences with Sixes, and I can tell you they're the best! They have so much depth and are the most thoughtful people you will ever meet. Of course, fear is the driving force behind all Sixes' personalities, but maybe we can also learn about our relationship with fear from them. In this episode Kelsey Taylor interviews Kristin Messegee, a life coach who works solely with sixes, also a six herself. Kristin will share about her life coaching journey, how to manage self-doubt, how to deal with and have a healthy relationship with fear and anxiety. Her anxiety, self-doubt, and indecision as a Six led her to help other Enneagram Sixes to stop worrying and live courageously. Enneagram type six or not, If you are feeling worried, indecisive, and overwhelmed this podcast episode will help you learn why you are stuck in indecision, fear and anxiety, and how to get out.  Highlights & Resources: Kristin's life coaching journey How she teach people manage self-doubt Stereotypes of being Enneagram type six Best thing about being type six How to deal and have a healthy relationship with fear and anxiety Advice for someone who is not attuned to relationships Mistype Guide / Type Six Click HERE for a FREE Coaching Session Connect with Kristine: Website: www.kristinmessegee.com Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/201879333945167 Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/kristinmessegeecoaching LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-messegee-b86008132 Twitter: @kmessegee Connect with Kelsey Taylor: Website: https://www.valleypointcoaching.com Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/kelsey-taylor-106739207 Instagram: @theworkingenneagram Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/theworkingenneagram
