In this heartfelt, humorous, and deeply human conversation, Ian sits down with longtime friend — artist, filmmaker, professor, and Enneagram Seven — Steve Taylor. You may know him as the legendary provocateur who "invented irony for Christians," but in this episode, we explore the terrain beneath the creativity, the energy, and the relentless forward motion that has defined so much of his life. Together we wade into the deeper waters of the second half of life — aging, character, grief, spiritual maturity, limitations, and the sacred invitation to move from doing to being. Steve speaks candidly about the shifting landscape of life at 67: the habits that no longer serve him the tender emergence of compassion learning to sit with grief rather than outrun it the uncomfortable art of slowing down how filmmaking and teaching have reshaped his inner life and the courageous (and often comical) struggle of a Seven learning to live in the present moment We talk about marriage, mortality, the ache of unfinished dreams, the sweetness of gratitude, the pains and gifts of aging, and the spiritual practices that are slowly rewiring Steve's relationship with presence. Tune in to hear this rich conversation about Enneagram transformation, emotional intelligence, creativity, and the inner work of becoming whole. ABOUT STEVE TAYLOR Steve Taylor is a filmmaker, writer, producer and recording artist who earned his "Renaissance Man" stripes (Prism Magazine) from a body of work that's garnered him multiple Grammy, Billboard, Telly, Addy and Dove awards and nominations. A southern California native, he was raised in Denver, Colo., and studied music and film at Colorado University. In 1983, Taylor began a career as a recording artist that spanned 12 years, selling over one million albums worldwide and garnering him two Grammy nominations for "Meltdown" (1984) and "Squint" (1993). In the process, he made history as the only artist to twice win Billboard Music Video Awards for self-directed music videos. As a concert artist, Taylor headlined four international tours, including acclaimed appearances at L.A.'s Universal Amphitheater and London's Hammersmith Odeon. He was also lead singer in the MCA-signed modern rock band Chagall Guevara. Follow on Facebook or Instagram Sketch Film Website
Sissy and David celebrate the strengths of Enneagram Sixes—their loyalty, courage, diligence, and care for the common good—while naming the real challenges of worst-case thinking, indecision, and hypervigilance. They offer practical ideas for Six parents (trust your gut, build steady routines, model bravery “even when you feel afraid”) and simple ways to support a child who might be a Six (reassure safety, give age-appropriate choices, and nudge into small risks). The theme: Sixes hold families and communities together more than they realize.

Ever feel like the more you try to connect with your spouse, the more they pull away? Or maybe you're the one who needs space while your partner wants to talk everything through? This is the pursuer-distancer dance, and it's one of the most common patterns in marriage. In this episode, we'll explore how your Enneagram type influences which role you naturally fall into. Heart types (2, 3, 4) often become pursuers, seeking connection and reassurance. Head types (5, 6, 7) frequently take the distancer role, needing space to process. Body types (8, 9, 1) can go either way depending on their specific type and stress level. But here's the key: when you understand YOUR type's fear and your PARTNER's type's fear, you can break this exhausting cycle. We'll give you one simple practice to try this week that interrupts the pattern—and it starts with doing the opposite of what feels natural. Whether you're a Type 2 who pursues when anxious or a Type 5 who distances when overwhelmed, you'll learn how to create connection without the chase.

How do busy couples maintain marriage goals without becoming rigid? Christa sits down with Colton Simmons, 1w9, creator of the popular You've Got a Type YouTube channel and podcast, to explore staying flexible without losing standards. As a Type 1w9 married to a Type 3w4, Colton shares practical insights about his own 1-3 pairing dynamics, navigating the tension between "doing it right" and "getting it done efficiently," managing extreme productivity without burnout, and thriving as a high-achiever couple who are also navigating parenthood. They discuss how both partners can be driven without perfectionism killing connection, and Colton also shares about his creative but also uniquely-paced process for thorough Enneagram content (including typing Lord of the Rings characters) and his current series on each type in relationships. The conversation explores teaching without becoming rigid and also learning how many type 1s inner critics really work from the inside out as Colton so graciously and vulnerably shares.

Enneagram 5 parents Lauren Rupley and Kris Plunkett talk curiosity, intentionality, and energy management in family life. They describe how fives' love of learning, patient problem-solving, and reflective nature become strengths—sparking great questions, thoughtful rhythms, and delight in kids' unique wiring. They also name common struggles: over-researching instead of trusting intuition, scarce-energy mindsets, stepping back to observe rather than engaging in hard moments, and turning kids' challenges into a referendum on their own preparedness. Practical help includes building daily downtime, modeling conscious tech boundaries, asking “Is this about me or about my child?”, showing vulnerability, and finding mentor parents a few steps ahead.

In this episode of Enneagram at Work, I continue the 9 Types Overview Series with a deep dive into Type 2: Striving to Feel Connected, also known as The Coach in the Awareness to Action framework.We'll explore together how Type 2s build trust, foster belonging, and strengthen relationships at work, and how those same strengths can sometimes lead to burnout or blurred boundaries. Whether you lead with this type or work closely with someone who does, this episode will help you recognize the impact of connection-driven leadership and find the balance between giving and grounding.I also share how the three instinctual biases (Preserving, Navigating, and Transmitting) shape how Type 2s express their feeling need for connection, from behind-the-scenes nurturers to charismatic connectors.What You'll Learn When You ListenThe core motivation behind Type 2's drive to feel connected.How this type's strengths, empathy, generosity, and intuition, help teams thrive.The overused strengths that can create stress, exhaustion, or resentment.The leadership style of The Coach and how Type 2s inspire loyalty and growth.How to give (and receive) feedback in a way that builds trust with a Type 2.How instinctual biases create three distinct expressions of Type 2 energy.Growth insights from their arrows to Type 8 and Type 4, learning to assert boundaries and honor their own emotions.Try This at WorkIf you're a Type 2: Before saying yes to help, pause and ask, “Is this mine to carry?” Practice receiving appreciation without deflection.If you work with a Type 2: Acknowledge their efforts often and clearly. Don't assume they're fine just because they're the ones helping everyone else.For Teams & LeadersType 2s bring warmth, empathy, and emotional intelligence to every workplace — qualities that make collaboration feel human. But they can struggle when their giving goes unreciprocated. Teams thrive when Type 2s are encouraged to express needs, receive support, and celebrate connection as a shared responsibility.---> Note on gender: Type 2 energy is often mislabeled as “feminine,” but connection isn't gendered, it's human. Many men are Type 2s, and their empathy and support can be just as powerful in leadership. Every person, regardless of gender, can bring strength and influence to this type's relational energy.Have a request for a future episode? Drop a text here!

Now CEO and co-founder of Ritual, an AI-powered workflow platform, Atif shares how leaders can build decision-making systems that are faster, fairer, and more adaptive in an age of complexity.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Mentored Podcast, Carson Pue, Chuck, and Ingrid Davis explore the concept of moving beyond singular assessment tools, such as the Enneagram, Birkman, DISC, or MBTI. While these instruments can provide valuable insights into personality, behaviour, and preferences, they are not the ultimate answer to understanding or mentoring others. As mentors, it's crucial to avoid becoming overly reliant on any one framework. Together, we discuss the importance of adopting a more holistic and adaptable approach to mentorship. By integrating multiple perspectives and tools, mentors can better address the unique needs, goals, and growth opportunities of those they guide. Whether you're a seasoned mentor or just starting your journey, this episode will challenge you to expand your toolkit, think critically about assessment instruments, and focus on the bigger picture of personal and professional development. So come and join us, as the next 30 minutes can really help you to be a better mentor and entertain you as you listen.
If every Enneagram type had a t-shirt slogan, what would it say? In this episode, we're breaking down the one-liners that perfectly capture each type's vibe — from the ones who need a plan to the ones who are the plan. We're talking personality meets punchline: the phrases that sum up how we think, react, and survive life's chaos — the ones that make you laugh, then immediately go, “Okay… but why is that so accurate?” It's equal parts roast, reflection, and reality check.Follow us on Instagram @themulemindset for exclusive video content.
What happens when two high-achieving Enneagram Threes sit down with an Enneagram Four? You get an electric, honest, and surprisingly tender conversation about ambition, fear, and what it really means to live courageously. In this episode, Ian sits down with Jenny Wood, former Google executive and author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It, and her Chief of Staff, Carlina Daugherty, for an unfiltered look at the drive and depth behind the Enneagram Three. Together, they explore: · Why fear — not talent — is often the real barrier to success · The nine "wild" traits that fuel courageous leadership (and how to keep them from derailing you) · How two Threes with different subtypes actually make the perfect team · Jenny's raw reflections on control, comparison, and rediscovering what "enough" really means · The second half of life — and why it's less about achievement and more about awakening It's an episode packed with laughter, candor, and the kind of vulnerability that reminds us: success without self-awareness isn't success at all.

In this latest episode of The Evolving Leader podcast, Jean Gomes is joined by Mark Crowley, author of Lead from the Heart, to explore how emotion, belonging, and authentic care are redefining leadership for the modern world. Mark shares his remarkable personal journey, from an upbringing shaped by trauma to a career built on leading through compassion. We hear how what began as an instinctive way to give others what he never received became a philosophy now backed by neuroscience and organisational research.Jean and Mark unpack why traditional engagement models are failing, how the science of emotion is reshaping our understanding of performance, and why belonging and care are now the greatest predictors of organisational health. This is a powerful conversation for leaders seeking to create cultures that elevate both human well-being and business results.Further materials from Mark Crowley:“Don't Measure Employee Engagement—Support Employee Well-Being” (2025, Porchlight Book Company)“5 Leadership Strategies To Help Teams Thrive Amid Uncertainty” (2025, Fast Company)“Leaders don't really care about employee engagement.

Psalm 139 says we are fearfully and wonderfully made, but what exactly did God design when He knit us together in our mother's womb? In this week's podcast, we unpack the deeper truth behind our purpose and identity. We explore how spiritual gifts differ from personality, how sin distorts what God intended, and why justifying brokenness as “how I was made” misses the mark.We also dive into how addiction, hurt, bitterness, and even misuse of tools like Enneagram can subtly become excuses to stay stuck. But there's hope. We can discover our purpose, not by looking inward, but by leaning into God's blueprint and stepping into community and accountability.Join us as we talk about God's design, your calling, and what it means to become who you were truly made to be.

Send us a textThe holidays can bring both joy and heartache, especially when family relationships carry unhealed pain. In this vulnerable conversation, Amy and guest Wholehearted coach Kristen Yeh explore how faith and gratitude can steady us when love feels anything but easy.Together, they talk about how to find hope in the hard —not by pretending everything's fine, but by letting gratitude reshape what we notice, receive, and release.Whether you're navigating distance, disappointment, or deep wounds, this conversation offers spiritual rhythms and gentle encouragement to help you stay grounded in God's goodness, even when relationships still ache.“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 NIVHope isn't naive optimism; it's a practice of faith. And gratitude becomes a spiritual rhythm that reorients us toward what is true and good when everything else feels uncertain.Learn more about Kristen's 5-Day Gratitude Journey: https://mailchi.mp/thriveenneagram/5-day-gratitudeResources mentioned:Kristen's past episode on Simply Wholehearted: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gratitude-can-shift-any-attitude-with-wholehearted/id1216920050?i=1000673821444 Advent Podcast Playlist + Gift Giving Guide → https://www.simplywholehearted.com/enneagram-gift-guideRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

In this episode of SaaS Fuel, host Jeff Mains sits down with Rachel J. Edwards, founder of INSPIRI and creator of the Strategic Personality Blueprint (SPB). Rachel shares her journey from coaching to building a personality assessment tool that provides a holistic, multi-dimensional view of human behavior, bridging the gaps between popular frameworks like Disc, Enneagram, Big Five, and incorporating proprietary strengths and values modules. She discusses the challenges of bringing innovation to market as a non-technical founder, balancing product vision with scaling constraints, and the profound impact of customized personality insights for hiring, team harmony, and organizational success.Rachel's insights illuminate how understanding individual and team dynamics with evolving, experience-based assessments can turbo-charge leadership, hiring, and even applications beyond business—spanning education and criminal justice. Authenticity, privacy, and values-driven decision-making are at the heart of her product, pushing organizations to move beyond static labels to real, actionable understanding.Key Takeaways00:00 Holistic Coaching System Needed06:16 Dynamic Evolving Personal Assessment09:26 Beyond Labels to True Understanding12:08 "Team Analysis for Effective Leadership"15:40 "Validating Market Fit First"19:51 Streamlining for Scalability and Efficiency23:32 Building Trust in Employee Assessments26:41 Optimizing Team Dynamics Strategically29:36 Balanced Approach to Personality Insights32:18 Personalized Rehabilitation for Better Outcomes35:54 Tailoring Investor Communication Strategies40:28 "AI's Impact on Jobs"Tweetable QuotesViral Topic: One Assessment to Rule Them All: "And came up with one single assessment where it will capture five different assessments in one, though you're only taking one assessment, so like you said, you're not going to have to take the disc or Enneagram or any of the other assessments. It's all in one." — Rachel J. Edwards Quote: "how does somebody's motivations or their values impact the behavior that they see? And really being able to understand that point allows a coach or a leader or an organization to better lead and guide their people." — Rachel J. Edwards Viral Topic: The Truth Behind Personality Labels: "I like to say is we bridge the gaps between the labels because life and growth happen behind the labels." — Rachel J. Edwards Proving Market Fit Before Building: "So instead of going, like you said, to get go and building something from tech and then saying we have this, we're almost kind of flipping it and showing that there's a market fit, people want this and we're using it now." — Rachel J. Edwards Quote: "I think any one of those single things misses so much because there's just so much that people have to offer. People are a lot of depth in who they are and how they perform." — Jeff Mains Avoiding Startup Pitfalls: "some founders will make the mistake of we want to automate everything, get that out there, and it's all technology. And so they end up having to redo a bunch of stuff because they take all of the learning happens after they've already built it and like, oh, we should have done that differently." — Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership LessonsBridge the Gaps Between Labels: Avoid oversimplifying people by single assessments; embrace layered approaches for deeper understanding.Champion Privacy to Build Trust: Protect individual assessment results—privacy encourages honesty and leads to more actionable insights.Start Manual, Learn Deep: Begin with hands-on delivery to...
Everyone loves a good personality test. Whether it is the Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, or that quiz you took online that told you which TV character you are most like, there is something satisfying about seeing yourself neatly described in a few short sentences. But here is the question: are these tests actually telling you who you are, or just giving you a clever label? In this episode, Dr. Bray unpacks the science behind our obsession with personality tests. You will learn why we are wired to love them, how the brain's reward systems light up when we feel recognized, and why the Barnum effect makes even vague descriptions feel spot-on. We will also take a closer look at the history of personality testing, from Hippocrates and the four humors to the modern-day workplace. More importantly, you will hear why taking these tests too seriously can backfire. Neuroscience shows that personality is not fixed. The brain is plastic, meaning it is constantly adapting and capable of change. When you lock yourself into a rigid type, you may be limiting your own growth without even realizing it. Dr. Bray keeps it practical and entertaining, weaving together science, history, and a bit of humor. You will walk away with a fresh perspective on personality tests, knowing when to treat them as fun and when to be cautious about the labels they hand you. So if you have ever wondered whether your four letters define you or if you are destined to always be "the extrovert" or "the thinker," hit play. This conversation will convince you that you are far more than a type, and that the most exciting part of your personality is how it continues to grow and change. Quotes by Dr. Bray "The real danger is not in taking these tests, but in taking them too seriously." "The appeal of personality tests has less to do with their accuracy and more to do with what they promise us." "This is just who I am" — that's the fixed mindset we need to challenge." "Hold those results lightly and treat them as a starting point for exploration."

Join Pastor Lucas Miles as he continues his series on “The Pagan Threat.” In this powerful message, Pastor Lucas clarifies that the threat is not individual pagans, but the broader effort to replace the Christian Gospel in society with alternative ideologies rooted in secularism and Marxism. He explains how these movements often use the Hegelian dialectic to introduce radical ideas under more socially acceptable terms, ultimately seeking to erode the foundations of biblical truth. Drawing from Scripture, including the account of the Tower of Babel, Pastor Lucas explores the spiritual and historical roots of humanity's rebellion against God and warns against the rise of self-deification—when individuals place themselves in the position of God, defining morality and truth on their own terms.Pastor Lucas also exposes how “soft paganism” has subtly crept into the modern church, through practices like the Enneagram and through attitudes that judge others in ways that only God can. Throughout the message, Pastor Lucas addresses three major challenges facing Christians today: doubts about the goodness of God, the church's role in justice, and the exclusivity of Christianity. He explains that questioning God's goodness lies at the heart of rebellion, that the failures of the church do not invalidate the truth of the Gospel, and that salvation is found only in Jesus—yet God's love is revealed in giving humanity the dignity of choice.Key Themes:The real “Pagan Threat"The use of the Hegelian dialecticRebellion and self-deification“Soft paganism” in the modern churchDoubting God's goodnessThe church's role in justiceThe exclusivity of ChristThe call to discernment and truthTimestamps:01:22 - What is the Pagan Threat?02:11 - Marxism, Hegelian Dialectic, and Cultural Shifts04:36 - Tower of Babel & Rebellion Against God07:20 - Cancel Culture and the “Hive Brain”08:23 - Self-Deification and Worship of Self09:31 - Soft Paganism in the Church11:09 - The Enneagram and Occult Influences13:12 - Why Deception is So Effective14:01 - Three Main Challenges to Faith15:36 - Doubting the Goodness of God18:54 - The Problem of Evil & God's Character22:41 - The Church's Role in Justice28:09 - The Exclusivity of Christianity51:42 - Closing Prayer & Invitation

Episode Title: How To Appraoch The Enneagram? Introduction In this episode, we sit down with Ev, a coach and long-time student of the Enneagram who has spent years helping men uncover who they really are beneath the roles, habits, and masks they wear. The Enneagram isn't about putting you in a box — it's about showing you the box you've been living in and how to get out. Ev shares how the Enneagram has shaped his own journey, giving him language for the patterns that once ran on autopilot. This episode kicks off a conversation that many men in Authentic Men's Group (AMG) will resonate with: How do I Appraoch the Enneagram? What Is the Enneagram? The Enneagram is a powerful framework for self-understanding. It maps out nine core personality patterns, each driven by a unique motivation, fear, and desire. Here's what's important for men to remember when diving into this tool: Avoid labeling others. The Enneagram is not a weapon or a way to diagnose. It's an invitation to empathy — for yourself and others. You are not just one number. Think of your Enneagram DNA: your main type interacts with other types, creating a unique internal ecosystem. Your core type remains steady over time. While your behaviors may shift as you grow, your deeper motivations often stay consistent. For men who are doing the work, the Enneagram helps you understand why you do what you do — not just what you do. Levels of the Enneagram: Growth and Decline Ev walks us through how each Enneagram type operates across levels of health — from your best, most grounded self to your most reactive and disconnected state. Understanding these levels gives men a roadmap. You begin to notice when you're slipping into old patterns or losing touch with your core values. Instead of judging yourself, you get curious: What's driving this? What am I trying to protect? This awareness is where transformation begins. The goal isn't perfection — it's presence. Practical Application for Men At AMG, we use the Enneagram as a mirror, not a mask. Here's how to start: Identify your top three types. Early on, don't stress about "nailing it." Start by exploring what resonates the most and why. Learn your type's levels of health. Every type has a spectrum — from grounded to stressed. Learn to recognize your signals at each level. Observe, don't obsess. The Enneagram is meant to increase awareness, not self-judgment. Notice patterns, name them, and bring them into group discussions. Invite others in. Be vulnerabkle and real with your awarenesses. Ask for feedback from your AMG group, coach, counselor, or a trusted partner or friend. This is where the real growth happens — in conversation, reflection, and shared honesty among men doing the work together. Closing Reflection The Enneagram isn't just a personality test — it's a spiritual mirror. It helps men see not just who they are, but how they're showing up. When we approach it with humility and curiosity, it becomes a roadmap to freedom rather than a fixed identity. As Ev reminds us, "You don't grow by changing who you are. You grow by becoming more aware of who you've always been."
In this week's episode of Typology, I sit down with my dear friend and fellow book lover Joel Miller—an Enneagram Five through and through, and author of The Idea Machine: How Books Built Our World and Shape Our Future. Joel embodies the mind of a Five: curious, analytical, fiercely independent, and endlessly fascinated with ideas. But as we explore in our conversation, that intellectual brilliance can also become a refuge—a way to manage anxiety, avoid dependence, and retreat from life itself. Together, we unpack what it means for Fives to move from "information to intimacy," from hoarding ideas to sharing their hearts. We talk about why books are "technologies of connection," how Joel's marriage to a Four helps pull him out of his head and into his heart, and why he believes faith is meant to be experienced, not simply understood. If you've ever wondered how to balance thinking and feeling, solitude and connection, this episode will resonate deeply. About Joel: Joel J. Miller is a former publishing executive with a twenty-year career in writing and editorial. Today he serves as chief content officer of Full Focus (FullFocus.co) and publishes Miller's Book Review (MillersBookReview.com), a popular Substack celebrating literary culture. He is the author of several books, including The Idea Machine: How Books Built Our World and Shape Our Future (forthcoming, November 2025). His writing has appeared in Reason, the Washington Post, American Spectator, and National Review. He lives outside Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife, kids, dogs, and more books than space.

In this episode of The Evolving Leader, co-hosts Jean Gomes and Scott Allender talk to neurologist and author Adam Zeman about his latest book The Shape of Things Unseen. Together they explore how imagination helps us step outside the here and now, recall the past, and anticipate the future, and why this ability matters more than ever in a world shaped by automation and accelerating change.Adam takes us inside the science of the mind's eye, from aphantasia (the inability to visualise) to hyperphantasia (imagery as vivid as reality), and unpacks what these differences reveal about creativity, culture and leadership. This conversation offers practical insights for leaders on cultivating imagination within organisations, the role of daydreaming in innovation, and how to create environments where ideas can flourish.Further materials from Adam Zeman:Zeman, A.

We loved this honest, hopeful conversation with two dear friends—Kelli Haywood and Brandon Verner—who both live as Enneagram 3s at home and at work. If you're a Three (or love one), you'll hear so much of your own story: the high energy and discipline, the adventurous “let's go!” spirit, and the quiet temptation to substitute charm and productivity for feelings and presence. Kelli and Brandon name the hard places (kids feeling pressure to perform, our tendency to “manage” outcomes, the pull to keep moving instead of feeling) and offer practical ways forward: stop and pause, slow your voice and body, ask “Are you open to feedback?”, repair with specific apologies, and build family rhythms that prize connection over winning. You'll hear beautiful stories about advocating for our kids, making memories through shared adventure, and creating homes where children feel deeply safe, fully accepted, and free to be themselves. . . . . . .

On this week's episode of Typology, I'm joined by two remarkable guests who sit right at the intersection of faith and psychology: Dr. Les Parrott, a clinical psychologist and author, and pastor Judah Smith, who brings a preacher's honesty and a comedian's timing to our conversation. Together, they've written a new book called Bad Thoughts: A Preacher and a Shrink's Guide to Reclaiming Your Mind and Soul. It's a lively and deeply honest dialogue between theology and therapy—between the pulpit and the couch. We dive into what Les calls the five “toxic thought patterns” that keep us stuck—guilt, shame, insecurity, entitlement, and unworthiness—and how reframing those internal narratives can lead to genuine healing. Judah opens up with surprising candor about his own inner critic, the pressure of ministry, and why he believes the future of the church might look a lot more like AA than Sunday morning at 10 a.m. It's part Enneagram session (spoiler: Judah's possibly a Seven), part theology class, and part group therapy—equal parts laughter, humility, and grace. You'll hear Les explain why awareness is curative, Judah describe what it's like to feel “freer in his soul,” and me wrestling right alongside them with what it really means to change our minds. If you've ever wondered how psychology and spirituality can work together to transform our lives—and not against each other—this conversation is for you. ABOUT OUR GUESTS Judah Smith is the lead communicator of Churchome, a thriving community with multiple locations and a global app, known for its cultural relevance and deep love for Jesus. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus Is __. Judah and his wife, Chelsea, live in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Les Parrott is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and psychologist who has been featured on Oprah, CBS This Morning, the Today Show, CNN, and The View, as well as in USA Today and The New York Times. His books, which include Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts and many others, have sold over five million copies. Les and his wife, Leslie, a marriage therapist, are the creators of BetterLove.com, a resource for couples. Les and Leslie live in Seattle, Washington.
In this week's episode, we sit down with two of our favorite Twos—Heather Flener and Sherman Bucher—for a conversation full of warmth, laughter, and self-awareness. These two embody the best of what it means to be “The Helper,” and their stories bring the Enneagram Two to life in such relatable ways. Heather and Sherman share how their caring hearts show up in parenting, friendships, and everyday life—and how that same deep empathy can sometimes make it hard to step back and care for themselves. We loved hearing them talk about learning to set boundaries, finding rest, and practicing the kind of self-care that allows them to keep loving well without burning out. From stories about childhood moments of “helping” to reflections on parenting as a Two, this conversation is full of insight and encouragement for anyone who gives a lot to others. And in true Two fashion, they even close things out by describing their ideal meal—small, intimate gatherings where connection is rich and laughter is easy. It's a tender, joy-filled conversation that will make you want to call the helper in your life and say thank you.

Description: In this episode of the Matriarchy series, we explore how deeply ingrained patriarchal narratives can create a policing effect on the behavior of women. Author, Elise Loehnen, discusses her book "On Our Best Behavior" which examines how concepts like the seven deadly sins have historically been used to restrict women's behavior and police their adherence to an idealized form of "goodness." Loehnen unpacks the insidious ways women are culturally conditioned from a young age to suppress normal human drives like anger, ambition, and sexuality. And how disrupting rigid gender stereotypes is important when raising the next generation in order to build a more compassionate world. … Thought-provoking Quotes: ★ “Women are trained for goodness; men are trained for power.” – Elise Loehnen ★ “Patriarchy isn't just out there in systems and structures — it's in us. It's the air we breathe.” – Elise Loehnen ★ “A ‘good woman' never needs anything. She has no wants, no anger, no appetite. She exists to meet everyone else's needs — and calls it virtue.” – Elise Loehnen ★ “We are so conditioned to police ourselves that we end up policing each other.” – Elise Loehnen ★ “I hold everything I think with loose hands. This is what I know now. But I'm open to the me who might think differently later.” – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: ➤ On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen - https://bit.ly/44tz41D ➤ Goop - https://goop.com ➤ For the Love of Being Seen and Heard ft.
