This summer, while I continue to heal from surgery and dream up Season 6, I am re-airing our most popular series: Creative Archetypes! If you are unfamiliar with the Enneagram, you can listen to the intro episode from the original 2023 series here. And if you are familiar and know your number, might I suggest you listen to each episode (even those that aren't about your number) to develop empathy and understanding of those who see the world differently. The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal and relationship transformation, for artists and everyone! If you have episode ideas, dream guest suggestions, or other feedback for me, drop me an email hello@artistsforjoy.org Original show notes: Perfectionism can keep us from starting altogether, stop us mid-art, and suck the joy out of the finished creative project. Can you relate? This week on the podcast, Merideth chats with Enneagram One, Kendra Adachi (aka The Lazy Genius) about holding creative goals loosely, embracing imperfection, and becoming the architecture of your creative life. Invitation: 1. Kendra's advice: "Ask someone you trust what they believe you bring to the creative process." 2. Explore The Lazy Genius' Magic Question: "What can I do now to make something easier later?" 3. Kendra says she lives by Suzanne Stabile's question, "What is mine to do?" Take this question to your journal and see what comes up.

Known for hits like "The River," "Beloved," and "Jesus Is Coming Back," Jordan opens up about his Enneagram journey, how it influences his life and music, and the ways it has shaped his relationships—with his wife Jamie, their children, and those he meets on the road.Jordan candidly discusses the challenges and strengths of being an Enneagram Type 9 with a 1 wing, the importance of empathy, and how learning about personality types has improved his marriage and parenting.

This week on Typology, I sat down with the brilliant and buoyant Margaret Feinberg—author, teacher, and Enneagram 7 with an 8 wing. We talked about her new book, The God You Need to Know, and what it means to experience the Holy Spirit's presence—not just in the highs of life, but in the valleys too. Margaret opened up about facing surgery just before her book launch, navigating the exhaustion that comes with being “on” all the time, and how her joy had to be redefined in the midst of cancer. We also explored how ADHD traits can show up in Enneagram Sevens, what it's like being married to a Type 5, and how learning to rest isn't easy when you live in a world that never slows down. Margaret also offered a fresh perspective on the Holy Spirit—not just in the New Testament, but throughout Scripture. It's a conversation about joy that makes room for sorrow, faith that's been through the fire, and a Spirit who meets us in the mess. As you listen, take a moment to consider: What does true rest look like for you? Has your understanding of the Holy Spirit grown or shifted over time? Can you recall a time when joy and suffering existed side by side in your story?
The focal point of this podcast episode revolves around the exploration of Type Seven within the Enneagram framework, characterized by their intrinsic desire for excitement and aversion to emotional pain. We delve into the complexities of the Seven's experience, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of their personality, which is often misunderstood as superficiality. Through thoughtful discourse, we unravel the dichotomy of their vibrant exterior contrasted with the profound emotional depth they possess, often hidden beneath a facade of joy. By sharing personal anecdotes and insights, we aim to illuminate the rich inner world of Sevens, fostering a greater understanding of their motivations and challenges. The dialogue further encourages listeners to reflect on their own interactions and perceptions of this dynamic type, inviting a deeper appreciation for the nuanced layers that define the Seven's journey.Human Interview: Milton Stewartkaizencareers.comDo It For The Gram PodcastThe Enneagram Institute Type 7The Narrative EnneagramType 7Awareness to ActionType 7Awareness to ActionEnneagram on Demand - Certification ProgramMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comPodcasts:Awareness to Action Enneagram in a MovieThe Narrative TraditionTerry Saracino:Web: https://www.narrativeenneagram.org/team/terry-saracino/Christopher Copeland:Web: illuminatingpaths.comNarrative Podcasts:Heart of the EnneagramThe Somatic Enneagram

Denne episode dykker ned i tredje grad af forandring for Enneagram type 2. Tredje grad handler om at udforske, hvordan vi kan bruge vores liv bedst muligt. Det er et skridt ud på den store klinge, hvor vi stiller de store spørgsmål om livet. Flemming Christensen udforsker de dybere aspekter af personlig forandring. Her undersøges konceptet af essentiel kærlighed, hvor relationer og kærlighed eksisterer uden nødvendigheden af at gøre noget for at opretholde dem. Lyt og hør mere om: ✔️ I tredje grad af forandring opstår en dybere forståelse af kærlighed. Ægte relationer er ikke afhængige af udvekslinger men er baseret på indre frihed og den naturlige strøm af kærlighed. Ved at erkende, at vi ikke behøver at gøre noget for kærligheden, kan vi åbne os op for dens essentielle natur. ✔️ I tredje grad lærer type 2, at kærlighed og relationer er konstante. Vi behøver ikke konstant at vedligeholde dem, da de eksisterer i deres egen ret. Det centrale er at værdsætte de små sejre og støtte hinanden, uden at føle en forpligtelse til at give og tage. ✔️ Arbejdet med første og anden grad forbereder os til det pludselige gennembrud i tredje grad, en kreativ og organisk transformation. Her forstår vi, at vores væsen er bygget på kærlighed. Dette skift i perspektiv giver type 2 (i os) frihed til at navigere i livet.

Welcome to the Working Enneagram Podcast! While we usually talk about the Enneagram in the context of work, in this episode, we changed things up to interview the fantastic Jeff Cook on his new Enneagram book, 'Around the Circle'. Who is the book for? Anyone who appreciates the complexity of the Enneagram and desires to do the deeper work that the Enneagram has to offer. In this episode Kelsey and Jeff discuss the transformative impact of the Enneagram on personal growth, the structure of the book around nine essential questions. What are those 9 questions? Glad you asked! 1. Who am I? 2. What do I want most? 3. How do I get what I want? 4. Where do I struggle most? 5. What are the biggest obstacles that I have? 6. How do I connect with people? 7. How do I solve problems? 8. How do I see the world? 9. What are my gifts? The discussion also includes the unique gifts each Enneagram type brings to the world, and analogies that demonstrate how each Type sees the world differently and how to use that information to better understand yourself and others.

The episode explores how leaders can navigate complexity and uncertainty with grounded beliefs, curiosity, and empathy without succumbing to dogma or paralysis.Whether you consider yourself a person of faith, reason, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to reflect more deeply on what sustains you and how those beliefs can help you thrive in a rapidly evolving world.Referenced during this episode:Why We Believe: Finding Meaning In Uncertain Times (McGrath, 2025)Other reading from Jean Gomes and Scott Allender: Leading In A Non-Linear World (J Gomes, 2023)The Enneagram of Emotional Intelligence (S Allender, 2023)Social:Instagram @evolvingleaderLinkedIn The Evolving Leader PodcastTwitter @Evolving_LeaderBluesky @evolvingleader.bsky.socialYouTube @evolvingleader The Evolving Leader is researched, written and presented by Jean Gomes and Scott Allender with production by Phil Kerby.

What does it really mean to be a “good woman”? For the controversial podcaster and writer Elise Loehnen, female goodness is a misery trap. And so reclaim their happiness, to make themselves whole, Loehnen says, women need to stop being good. The former goop executive and co-author of the upcoming Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness explains how the seven deadly sins reveal women's hidden conditioning, how the wellness industry became toxic, and why the Enneagram can help women embrace their full selves—including the darker, "unacceptable" parts they've been taught to suppress. five key takeaways 1. The "Good Woman" Performance is Exhausting Women are conditioned to suppress basic human instincts—never being tired, needing no praise, having compliant bodies, avoiding anger—which requires enormous energy and is driven by fear of social rejection.2. The Seven Deadly Sins Reveal Female Conditioning What society labels as "sins" (pride, envy, sloth, etc.) are actually normal human traits that women are taught to repress, creating a "punch card" for performing goodness to the world.3. Women Police Each Other Through Envy Instead of recognizing envy as a signal pointing toward what we want, women often use it destructively to tear down other women who have what they desire—like the backlash against Goop.4. The Drama Triangle Keeps Us Stuck Most people operate in victim-villain-hero dynamics, blaming others instead of taking responsibility. Breaking free requires recognizing these patterns and creating different conditions in your life.5. Wholeness Beats Goodness True liberation comes from integrating all parts of yourself—including the "darker" aspects you've been taught to hide—rather than performing an impossible standard of perfection.Elise Loehnen is a writer, editor, and podcast host who lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their two sons, Max and Sam. She is the host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are—and then putting those threads back together.

If your brain's been buzzing and your peace has peaced out… this one's for you.TakeawaysYour head brain is the logic and vision center—but fear can hijack it.Fear often shows up as fight (control), flight (overthinking), or freeze (shutdown).Martha tried to control dinner and missed the moment with Jesus.Gideon needed sign after sign—proof before progress.Elijah called fire from heaven, then collapsed in a cave from fear.Business overthinking shows up as endless planning and delayed launches.Freeze can look like procrastination or ghosting opportunities.Truth shift: Clarity comes after courageous action, not before.God's design includes sound thinking and Spirit-led movement.You can interrupt your fear loop and step into peace, one small move at a time.Sound Bites"Clarity doesn't create courage.

What Helped Me Trust My Team, Protect My Energy, and Step Into True Leadership I'll be honest—this conversation with Patrick Lencioni shook me (in the best way). If you've ever felt like running your business is way harder than it should be, or like you're carrying the weight of every single task on your back, this episode is going to be a game changer. Patrick introduces his powerful framework called the Six Types of Working Genius. It helped me understand why certain parts of my business drain me, and why trying to be “good at everything” was actually slowing me down. In this episode, we explore how to build a team that complements your strengths, how to identify the work that energizes you, and why letting go doesn't mean losing control—it means finally creating the business you thought you were building all along. If you're tired of feeling stretched thin, second-guessing your hires, or silently resenting tasks that suck the life out of you, this one's for you. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Your Genius Isn't What You're Good At—It's What Energizes You – Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Patrick explains how working in your genius fuels your joy, while living in your “competency” or “frustration” zones can quickly burn you out. 2️⃣ You Weren't Meant to Do It All—And That's Not a Flaw, It's the Fix – We dive into how trying to wear every hat as your business grows actually holds you back. The magic starts when you let your team do what they do best so you can lead from where you thrive. 3️⃣ Self-Awareness Is the Shortcut to Better Hires, Better Systems & Better Leadership – This framework isn't another personality quiz like Enneagram or Myers Briggs. It's a strategic tool that helps you make smarter hires, build a team that fits, and finally stop micromanaging things that were never yours to own.

Each of us is wired with a specific hierarchy of three core instinctual drives, shaping how we move through the world. The Instincts (sometimes referred to as Instinctual Variants) is part of the Enneagram framework and plays a powerful role in how our personalities form. One Instinct tends to dominate and demands most of our attention, a second supports it, while a third gets neglected and becomes a blind spot. In this episode, Michael, Hari, and Rasanath unpack the three Instincts—Sexual, Social, and Self-Preservation—and how they show up in our daily lives. They explore the energy behind each, how these Instincts function at their healthiest, and how they can create suffering. By understanding your “Instinctual Stack,” you can begin to shift from automatic patterns to conscious integration, creating space for real growth and movement toward the best version of yourself.Links Enneagram Certification Program (starts May 17th) Upbuild Coaching Certification Training (starts in October) Upbuild Website Instagram: @upbuildnycFacebook: UpbuildLinkedIn: Upbuild

For the one who carries the weight of “right”She had the plan. The lists were made. But by early morning, everything had unraveled, and her inner critic had already declared the day a failure.If you've ever felt like the only way to be loved is to do things perfectly…If your mind replays what went wrong, before you can celebrate what went well…This story might sound a little too familiar.Before her Type is revealed, you'll walk in her shoes… through the pressure, the responsibility, and the deep desire to be good.Then, you'll hear from my friend Katie Bauer, a wholehearted mom, creative, and Wholehearted Enneagram coach, who shares how learning to release perfection and embrace grace changed her story (and her summer rhythm).

Kristen and Sammy begin a discussion on the Tarot, a famous and mysterious oracle that has struck a chord within many individuals and cultures across the world. Oracles have been referenced many times throughout this podcast, but the hosts set an intention to make these cards the focus of the next several months. Today's episode is a general history of the cards, reflections on personal relationships and experiences, and shared curiosity around the magic present within the images. The hosts plan on letting the cards 'work' on their psyches, allowing a new process of channeling the ancient images of Tarot with the ancient symbol of the Enneagram to merge and comment on our human experience.Links to an Enneagram network;Enneagrammer;https://www.enneagrammer.comHouse of Enneagram; https://www.youtube.com/@houseofenneagramWhat It's Like To Be Youhttps://www.youtube.com/@theenneagramschoolThe Enneagram School;https://www.theenneagramschool.comKristen's Mess;https://www.inkstoryrebel.comPlease follow, rate, and/or leave a review for our podcast!

In this episode, Najiba focuses on how the enneagram offers a gateway to presence by showing us clearly what it's opposite looks like - in other words, the conditioned automatic patterns that we fall into when we are asleep to ourselves. Developing the inner observer to "wake up" to our patterns is a key practice that is needed to work with the Enneagram. She also explores the connection to the Islamic concept of muraqqabah, and how this practice of self-observation has been emphasized in the Islamic tradition for centuries.

This week on Typology I had the joy of sitting down with author Hanna Howard, an Enneagram Four with a Five wing. Hanna's not only the author of the young adult fantasy novel Our Divine Mischief, but also a great example of how our Enneagram type shapes the stories we tell — on paper and in life. We talk about what sets a 4w5 apart — that mix of emotional depth and intellectual curiosity. While a 4w3 may lean toward image and achievement, Hanna shares how her Five wing draws her inward, toward reflection, research, and a rich world of ideas. Hanna opens up about her lifelong search for authenticity — that familiar Four longing to feel significant — and shares a moment from her college years when a single line from Twelfth Night put words to that ache for belonging. Of course, we talk about Our Divine Mischief — Hanna's alternate-history fantasy set in a magical version of Scotland. At its core, it's a story about belonging, something every Four knows well, complete with a wish-granting dog (yes, really). It's a rich conversation about creativity, personality, and the longing we all carry to belong. I hope you enjoy it. And if you're looking for a beautiful read, check out Our Divine Mischief.

She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector. Even though she holds a Master's degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids. Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast. Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography. Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!
How much of who you are is really you—and how much is habit, circumstance, or a story you started telling yourself a long time ago? This week, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) is joined by journalist and author Olga Khazan (@olganator) to explore the strange, sticky concept of personality: where it comes from, why it feels so permanent, and whether we can actually change it. We touch on the appeal of personality frameworks like Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram, but zoom out to ask deeper questions: Do people ever really change, or do we just learn how to act differently? What happens when we no longer feel like the person we're known to be? A quiet spiral about identity, adaptability, and the mysterious choreography of who we become.Further Reading: Me, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change by Olga Khazan - Join the "Magical Overthinkers Club" by following the pod on Instagram @magicaloverthinkers.- To access early, ad-free episodes and more, subscribe to the Magical Overthinkers Substack.- Pick up a hard copy of Amanda's book The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality, or listen to the audiobook.

In this reflection I consider personality as stable (or not) and I consider it as real (or not). In other words, it's complicated. Supporting themes: Sexual orientation; Cognitive orientation; Social orientation; Emotions; Language; Human evolution; Trauma and Subjectivity; Predatory behavior; Defensive behavior; Achievement, competition and materialism; Class and neighborhoods Special note 1: This reflection was influenced in part by Enneagram 2.0 (a podcast) and Personality Hacker (a second podcast). Special note 2: This reflection has two parts: a) In the first 30 minutes I talk about the hosts from the two podcasts mentioned above; and b) The rest of the reflection is where I wrestle with the pairing of MBTI and the Enneagram as two personality systems. Special note 3: I read from the "The Complete Enneagram") by Dr. Beatrice Chestnut. Special note 4: This is reflection is actually a continuation of a reflection I did on "Theories/ Theorists". Please go to my Substack account (Your Ni Dom) for that first reflection.
Derailers (the things that can get us off track) can be some of the most challenging aspects of our personality patterns to confront.For Type 7s, growth often starts with the willingness to stay — to stay with the hard thing, the boring thing, or the uncomfortable emotion, rather than jumping to the next exciting idea or distraction.Sevens are known for their energy, optimism, and visionary thinking. They bring lightness to heavy moments and possibility to stuck places. But when that drive to avoid pain or limitation takes over, it can become a subtle (or not-so-subtle) barrier to real progress — especially in work environments that require follow-through, emotional depth, or patience.These derailers represent common challenges for Sevens. While they may not apply to every individual Seven or all the time, they reflect general tendencies that can show up when things feel too slow, too serious, or too emotionally vulnerable.If you're still narrowing down your dominant Enneagram type, a few of these tendencies might help guide your reflection.If you already identify as a Type 7, what helps you get back on track when you find yourself avoiding discomfort, resisting structure, or losing steam halfway through a project? Share your tips — they might be just what another Seven needs to hear.Have a request for a future episode? Drop a text here!

On this episode: Nate gets cheap airline tickets. Aaron navigates and revisits what it's like to be under pressure. This week, Nate and Aaron interview Ian Cron. Ian has a new book out called: The Fix, looking at the light hearted transformation that the 12-steps have. Ian shares how he unconsciously audited the 12-steps in 1987. He shares how his spiritual misadventures were an invitation from God for deeper intimacy. The suggestion that a setback is a better name than relapse. Ian also shares his thoughts on why the church is not like the rooms of recovery. If that's not enough, there's also a “stupid list” in enneagram discussion.Links: Ian Cron Books: The Fix: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the-Down-and-out, and Everyone in Between The Fix Workbook: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the-Down-and-out, and Everyone in Between Jesus, My Father, the CIA, and Me: A Memoir…of Sorts Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim's TaleSept. 12-14, 2025 Austrian Retreat Nov 7-9, 2025 Santa Fe, NM Samson Summit Nov 7-9, 2025 The Wild & Sacred Journey, Womens RetreatSponsor: Life Works CounselingIf you have thoughts or questions and you'd like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to piratemonkpodcast@gmail.com.The music on this podcast is contributed by members of the Samson Society.For more information on this ministry, please visit samsonsociety.com.

Today, I'm back with part two of my conversation with Enneagram coach Wendy Montgomery. In part one, we explored the nine Enneagram types and how people-pleasing can show up for each one. Now, we're diving into what healing these habits looks like for each type and how the Enneagram can act as a guide for transformation. Here's what we cover: Why self-awareness is key to reducing people-pleasing tendenciesA type-by-type analysis of how the shift away from people pleasing can happenWhy healing is a journey, not an arrival–even with the help of the EnneagramHow to offer yourself grace and compassion when overcoming people-pleasingA healing message for each Enneagram typeFind Wendy here:https://www.wendymontgomery.com/https://www.instagram.com/wendymontcoach/https://www.facebook.com/people/Wendy-Montgomery-Coaching/Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

In this heartfelt episode of Typology, Anthony and I sit down with Elizabeth Husserl—an Enneagram One with a Two wing and the author of the beautiful new book The Power of Enough: Finding Joy in Your Relationship with Money. Elizabeth's story begins over two decades ago when she first encountered the Enneagram. What followed was nothing short of transformational. Her work with the Enneagram didn't just shape her inner life—it helped heal her marriage and completely reframed her understanding of wealth. In our conversation, she invites us to imagine a richer, more expansive definition of money—one rooted in connection, belonging, and wholeness rather than scarcity and striving. Together, we explore: How the Enneagram can deepen personal growth and strengthen relationships Elizabeth's evolving relationship with money and what it's taught her The role of financial “DNA” and how we can begin to rewrite our inherited money stories Grounded practices for living with “enoughness” in every area of life If you're curious about how the Enneagram intersects with your financial story—or simply hungry for a more soulful approach to money—this episode is full of wisdom, vulnerability, and grace. You can learn more about Elizabeth's work at ElizabethHusserl.com, and follow her on Instagram @ElizabethHusserl for more insights.
