We Are All Human

Join us as we continue Season 5 on Life Purpose and Calling by speaking with two friends that I consider mentors in my community. Birch and Diana Cannon are what I would consider true elders.‘When we can let go of our own need for everything to be as we want it, and our own need to succeed, we can then encourage the independent journey and the success of others. The [elder] is able to relinquish center stage and to stand on the sidelines, and thus be in solidarity with those who need their support.' (Father Richard Rohr, Center for Action and Contemplation)In our discussion, we look at what life purpose means to them overall and through different seasons in their lives. We also talk about the importance of community and how the community mindset has changed over time. We touch what kindness looks like and how to pay it forward to others.This episode (Episode 4) is a call to action. Less thinking and more doing. I was personally convicted by several things they said, so I can't wait for you to hear it and expand your mindset to incorporate perspectives from other generations.

As we continue in the life purpose/calling series, we are joined by former marriage and family therapist turned relationship coach, Christa Hardin, MA, who is also an author and podcaster of the hit show, the Enneagram and Marriage Podcast. Christa is an Enneagram Seven who enthusiastically encourages, bringing hope, peace, and compassion to couples as a relationship helper. She talks about how she identified her calling early on, steps she took to embrace and evolve the calling, where she is now, and what she plans to offer in the future. Join us for this fun chat if you're on the journey to find your calling, are interested in the marriage work she is doing, are in search of marital support, or are just curious as to what we're up to. There is something in this episode for everyone. She even manages to weave in several literary references as they were an integral part in her personal development and who she is today.There are several ways to connect with Christa: https://www.enneagraminyourmarriage.com/(Lots of freebies to start with)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-and-marriage/id1493137938(The Enneagram and Marriage Podcast)https://www.instagram.com/enneagramandmarriage/(Christa's Instagram)https://a.co/d/aEYclhK(The Enneagram in Marriage new book)https://a.co/d/6lxLqKK(The Overflowing Life workbook)As always, thanks for listening!

Refreshingly honest, poised, and unapologetically herself, Stephanie Smith appeared on the podcast to talk about many things, but particularly how life has changed her. She delved into her past, identifying old wounds with both candor and composure, allowing us a peek inside of what it's like to be her. While lamenting the past she also illustrated just how those experiences shaped her into the confident person that she is today. Typing herself as an Enneagram 8, Stephanie shares how she sees the world through that lens as well as how she is perceived by others. I was so captivated by her that the conversation flowed longer than a typical episode and will be broken into two parts. Stephanie is a self-taught, bold, and incredibly talented photographer at Southern Stitched Photography. She has a passion for capturing unconventional genuine moments between families, couples, expectant mothers, and many others to serve as lasting memories for those who come after in this life.

In this episode we discuss the ancient art of beekeeping as it looks in the present day. To teach us, we have my older sister, Larissa, who has been partaking in the hobby for many years and recently a became certified beekeeper in South Carolina. We go into not only the basics of beekeeping, tools you need, how to get started, facts about bee biology, but deeper still into what beekeeping can do for your soul and mental health. We discuss how the practice can be used as one of the many therapeutics for PTSD and how it plays a role for Veterans and others who have experienced traumas in their lives.There is something in this episode for everyone! If you're interested in beekeeping, now is a great time to delve into the episode and give yourself some background knowledge and motivation to get in gear before Spring. If you are into the Enneagram like many of my listeners are, Larissa is an Enneagram 8w9 (SP). You may relate and benefit on hearing how a nature-based solitary activity can help with self-regulation when you're out of alignment and not feeling like yourself. If you're a veteran, you might click on the link below to find out how to get in touch with a local chapter of Heroes to Hives.Connect with Larissa and if you're local grab some honey:https://www.instagram.com/sugarboomfarm/More info on Heroes to Hives program we mentioned. It's a collaborative program that addresses the personal and financial wellness of veterans through professional training in beekeeping.

In this episode, we speak to communications coach, Adrienne Sanders Kaye, about what it's like to be an Enneagram 7 (SP 7w6), how knowing the Enneagram has changed her life, and how to tap into the heart center. Adrienne gives examples of trials she has endured along the way and how she has coped in the past, versus the beneficial ways she has learned to cope now. She describes how she teaches others to use the Enneagram in their communications, taking knowledge that is bookish and parlaying that into an individual's personal life for the better. Come join us for this enthusiastic conversation if you are an Enneagram 7, know and love a 7, or just want to understand 7's, or need help tapping into emotions and the heart.

Welcome to Season 3 Episode 6 of the We Are All Human Podcast! I am very excited about this episode because it features connection made through vulnerability. Our guest is Tiffany Doyle, Enneagram 2 . Tiffany is involved in the ministry and is the wife of Evan Doyle of EnneagramGift who was featured in the previous episode. She will explain how we came to be connected, how she stepped into her vulnerability, as well as sharing her story of shame and how she overcomes this to live in her purpose. We incorporate thought work using the thought model to illustrate how Tiffany showed up in life while in the cycle of shame versus after she was transformed by her faith. As was mentioned in the episode, both Tiffany and I are here for you if you are walking through this or something similar and need support. Connect with Tiffany and her ministry on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/doyleflower/.

In this episode, you will have the pleasure of hearing how an Enneagram 5, Evan Doyle, moves through the world, how he changed his career from a pastor of 18 years, now helping others find their most suitable career path through his creation of the Enneagram Career Guide.  I ask Evan all the questions since 5s are typically the least likely to appear on podcast episodes. This may be useful to those considering 5 as their type or just to increase understanding of the 5s in their life. We also talk about the common mistakes that are made as people select careers and how to avoid those. I carefully evaluated Evan's career guide through my perspective and I feel it asks really thoughtful questions to tease through your brain and help you find exactly what type of work speaks to you.

Pastor and Author, Tyler Zach takes time to speak with us about why Christians hesitate to use the Enneagram, why they should, and how Enneagram growth paths look a bit differently for Christians. Tyler has written 4 Enneagram devotionals now (links to purchase these below), pairing a standard devotional with an Enneagram primer while lovingly pointing out blind spots for ultimate growth. Tyler intends for the devotionals to 'Help you hear from God and grow faster', combining biblical truths to apply to Enneagram-defined core fears and desires. Tyler is an Enneagram 3w4, so he talks about what's it like to live as a 3 in stress and also in health as well as being in a relationship pairing with a 6w7. Our discussion was one about growing up in a Christian environment, moving away from God, and being led back into his faith practice and into something he didn't even imagine. I can't wait to see what God has in store for him!

In this episode, I momentarily break from the theme of Season 3 (Nature) to share with you what God laid on my heart. I talk about a past mistake that I made years ago, and the associated shame and regret that has (until recently) been holding onto me, keeping me from showing up to life in the way God intended. I talk about how I was taught to use the thought model to harness those innermost buried thoughts, digging deeper until I found the root. Then I talked about how I was able to finally let it go. This will be especially impactful to you if you are holding onto past regret and find yourself still plagued by it, unable to shake its grip. If you are unsure how to move through your thoughts or just need support and prayers, please contact me. I'm here for you!Love,KatyLinks referenced in this episode:Interview with my Life Coach, Kristin Messegeehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/737507/8083818

In this (mini) episode, I bring my infinite love of nature as a biologist to discuss its restorative effects, particularly on the brain's ability towards productive, proactive thinking. These are my thoughts from 3 years ago, combined with recent information that I've come across. I saw a connection between this information and thought it worthy to share here, during season 3 which focuses on nature. Productive thinking is something that I work on with my coaching clients (of different Enneagram types), which is not the same as their reactive/automatic thinking. It's a learned skill, but definitely one that's worthwhile with a lasting impact. By deciding how to show up in different situations (being proactive), rather than spending a life reacting to things that happen (and feeling victimized), you end up creating a life of fulfilling purpose.

We did it! My husband and I finally recorded a podcast episode together. We had to wait until all of the kids went to sleep away camp, but we finally did it! It's been in the works for a while, as I planned for Season 3 of the podcast to focus on nature and how different people interact with it through their jobs, hobbies, or for therapeutic purposes. We met through our passion for nature so it seemed only fitting to let the first episode of a season about nature be with Chisolm.As an Enneagram 1, the Improver, you can definitely hear the ways he uses his vision to improve the landscape and his gift of seeing the big picture in service of others. You can also hear our relationship dynamics (I'm an Enneagram 6) and the things we enjoy doing together and with our children.Chisolm is a forester and talks about his childhood growing up in South Carolina and all the ways he grew up taking in nature. He discusses what he does for a living now and how all of that plays into ecology. There is a little something for everyone in this episode whether it be wildlife, forestry, economics, or relationships. There's even advice for those of you who are considering the pursuit of an outdoor career.Give it a listen, a rating/review, and make sure you're subscribed.

This is the last episode closing our second season of the podcast in which we discussed the idea of mentorship in many different flavors. My goal of this season was to encourage everyone that there are many ways to receive support and to remove any stigma attached in doing so. This episode hits a very personal space for me since it features my journey with life coach (and now friend), Kristin Messegee. She is a fellow Enneagram 6 who I found on Facebook where she runs her group, Life Coaching for Enneagram 6. We talk about how she came into life coaching and her motivations for pursuing that career as she provides a glimpse of just what coaching offers. I give my perspective on what it's like getting coached and we get pretty personal into the issues I'm working on. My goal is for what we say to resonate and if you want to reach higher levels of health, give you ideas on how you can obtain those.

In this episode, we will keep exploring the idea of mentorship - this time through the pastoral ministry. It was my pleasure to speak with two people who’ve been a big influence on me: my younger sister, Stacy, and brother-in-law and pastor, Reverend Sean McElrath. I’ve always been amazed by their kindness, patience, and faithfulness to God’s call in their lives. During our conversation, they provide so much good, practical advice on how to walk through anxiety, read your Bible without the help of a devotional, and meaningfully connect with others. I know that their advice will help someone because it has already helped me so much!Connect with Rev McElrath: https://www.facebook.com/groups/128397213898424

In Episode 3, I speak with my cousin, Frankie, who is an incredibly unique, deep, and thoughtful soul. We get far into the feelings of life and how to navigate the tumultuous time we live in. We discuss self-care practices, mindfulness when dealing with those who believe differently, and how we can support others. Frankie's words will touch your heart in a way that we all need right now. You will hear how he found a way to heal and cultivate hope that will serve him the rest of his life. Please join us!

In episode 2, I talk with my friend, Natalie, owner of Gunter Photography and health coach. We discuss the many hats she's worn in her life so far and finding the ones that really fit. She talks about facing adversity, walking through pain, what led her to finally make changes, and where she's at right now. Come join us for an inspirational, eye-opening conversation that I'm sure we could all relate to.Connect with Natalie on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/natalie.gunterNatalie's photography business, Gunter Photography:(Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/NMGunter/(Website) http://www.gunterphotography.com/?fbclid=IwAR0wuLGydhZd_7FUSs71l7Zt9Qe0AK5E8nKSxjZixkp68zXJe0NJnbe3NuM

This podcast is the first episode in Season 2, where we move from Enneagram-related topics into more in-depth conversations with people from many different perspectives. This episode features a conversation about a book written by my friend, Tiffany, called Blessed or Cursed. This book is such an important read, for anyone, but especially for those who are parents, teachers, or interact with kids frequently. In the book, Tiffany talks about her life experiences and then also gives her adult perspective of those experiences to help others gain insight on how a child’s behavior may not be as it seems. Tiffany gives tips on how to help support children who might need extra support. Come join us as we discuss our childhoods and Tiffany encourages us all by sharing lessons learned on her wellness journey.

In the podcast's second interview episode, I speak to Charlotte who has been an incredible friend and encourager to me. She is an Enneagram 9.

I am forever grateful that she held space for me today so that we might help others together. Come listen and learn how we can experience joy from the human connection.

Being aware that you are doing things is the first step in making changes. In this episode, I share some of my latest a-ha moments and personal coping that gets me through the day. I touch on the cycle of negativity and complaint, anxiety, and vulnerability.
