Podcasts about Enneagram

What does it take to thrive in our relationships—not just survive—and how can the Enneagram help us along the way? In this episode of The Allender Center Podcast, Rachael Clinton Chen sits down with Christa Hardin, founder of Enneagram + Marriage and author of “The Enneagram in Marriage: Your Guide to Thriving Together in Your Unique Pairing.” Christa brings years of wisdom from her own relationship, plus her expertise as a marriage coach and therapist, to offer a hopeful, honest perspective on why personality awareness matters—but why it's never the whole story. Together, Rachael and Christa explore: ✔ Why joyful feelings (and even celebration) can feel harder than conflict—and what that reveals about us. ✔ Christa's concept of the Glow Stages in relationships—what they are, why we can't live on the mountaintop forever, and how to navigate the necessary valleys with grace. ✔ How the Enneagram helps us honor our gifts, name our shadows, and stay curious about ourselves and each other—whether in marriage, parenting, dating, or our spiritual lives. ✔ Why love, when nurtured well, not only transforms a marriage but becomes a force for calling, courage, and blessing in the world. Whether you're single, newly married, in the trenches of parenting, or decades into a partnership, you'll find wisdom here for becoming more wholehearted—and more deeply connected. We invite you to listen to discover how your story, your marriage, and your love can grow through every stage.

“What does it mean to make change in my life—not from a place that there was something wrong with me?” asks my coauthor Courtney Smith. “But I made choices that have gotten me here. I respect and value those choices. I understand I wouldn’t be here without them. And I'm also choosing to do something a little bit different going forward.” Courtney is a coach, group facilitator, and Enneagram expert. Today, we’re taking you through the seven tools that form the core process of our new workbook Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full Self. If you want to go deeper, I’m including a lot of interconnected material in the show notes (per usual, though)—including links to my past conversations with Courtney.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to stick to goals that matter to you, but you can follow through easily when someone else is counting on you? Or why one of your children seems to resist every rule, while another lives for structure and routine? This week's guest, Sarah Joslin, walks us through a personality framework that has the power to transform the way we see ourselves and our kids. Based on The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin, this simple but powerful model explains how we each respond to expectations—and how we can use that understanding to build better routines, boundaries, and relationships in our homes. In this episode, you'll hear:

Most of us think we know ourselves (and the people we work with) pretty well. But when tensions rise, deadlines loom, or feedback lands wrong, the truth comes out: we're all running on a set of deep, often invisible patterns. What if we could see those patterns clearly, and choose something better? Enter the Enneagram: a framework that maps nine core motivations, survival strategies, and ways of seeing the world. This week, Rodney sits down with Liz Orr, author of The Unfiltered Enneagram and the voice behind Rude Ass Enneagram, to explore how this tool can help us understand ourselves, our teammates, and the hidden drivers behind workplace friction. From recognizing your own “midnight zone” work to navigating type-to-type dynamics, Liz shares practical insights for breaking unhelpful patterns, building trust, and working more compassionately with others.

Send us a textPour a cup of tea and join me for a wholehearted stroll back to 2019, when my sister Annaliese and I first sat down to type the Crawleys and the unforgettable Downton Abbey staff through the lens of the Enneagram. With plenty of giggles, some slightly outdated storylines (remember, this was before the first movie came out!), and a love for both the Enneagram and British drama, we uncover what makes these characters so timeless.As you listen, notice how each role – Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide – shows up not only in the Abbey but in our own lives. Because even in fictional stories, we can find mirrors of our own journey toward a more wholehearted identity.RESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Wholehearted Enneagram Coachinghttps://bit.ly/SWcoachingcollectiveEnnea-what?

In this fun and insightful episode, we explore descriptions of all nine Enneagram types—just enough to get the conversation started and the guessing game going. We break down the core traits of each type, and discuss how they often show up in everyday life.We take it a step further with a fun twist: one of us reads the descriptions aloud, while the other three try to guess which Enneagram type is being described. Some guesses are spot-on, others are way off—but the conversation that unfolds leads to honest insights and surprising reflections on how we each relate to the different types.We've also got a new voice in the mix this week! Our new co-host, Jayden, jumps into the fun, helping break down the Enneagram types. Be sure to give her a warm welcome!

The Enneagram is everywhere - from yoga retreats to C-suite boardrooms, therapy sessions to prison programs. But who's guiding the guides? What trends, challenges, and conversations are shaping the future of this powerful tool?In this episode, I'm joined by Demetrius Parker, a leadership development expert and Enneagram MBA facilitator, for a behind-the-scenes look at the 2025 International Enneagram Association Conference in Minneapolis.

From poetry and DJ sets to neuroscience and relationship sessions, we talk about what's changing in the Enneagram world and what still needs protecting.We talk about:What made the IEA Conference feel like a full-body experience, not just a professional eventConversations with Enneagram thought leaders like Russ Hudson, Suzanne Stabile, and Mario SikoraHow the Enneagram is expanding beyond its spiritual roots and into boardrooms, government offices, even the militaryThe importance of doing your homework before teaching the EnneagramHow to use the Enneagram as a path, not an identityWhether you're an experienced facilitator, an Enneagram enthusiast, or a leader looking to apply personality insight in your team, you'll walk away with inspiration and insight from the people shaping what's next in this space.

In this episode of Typology, I sit down with Alicia Michelle—an Enneagram One and host of The Christian Mindset Coach podcast—for a meaningful conversation about emotions, perfectionism, and the journey toward self-compassion. Alicia shares her story of discovering her true type, the freedom that comes from quieting the inner critic, and her practical ADD method (Acknowledge, Discern, Decide) for processing emotions. Together, we explore the importance of emotional literacy, how different types experience emotions, and why learning to govern our inner world is key to growth. Whether you're new to the Enneagram or eager to go deeper, this episode offers fresh insights and practical tools for navigating your emotional life with greater clarity and grace.  

What if the key to parenting isn't molding your child into a smaller version of you—but learning to truly see them for who they are? In this deeply moving conversation, Ian Morgan Cron, bestselling author of The Road Back To You, returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to talk about the Enneagram, emotional self-awareness, and how these insights transform the way we parent, love, and lead. Ian shares how understanding the “shadow side” of our personalities can unlock healthier relationships, save marriages, and most importantly, help us raise children with compassion rather than control. From hilarious stories about streaking in high school to powerful reflections on his mother's larger-than-life presence, Ian's wisdom is as entertaining as it is practical. Together we explore how to pay attention, set boundaries, and embrace the unique wiring of the kids right in front of us. This is a conversation that will leave you laughing, reflecting, and rethinking what it really means to raise emotionally healthy kids in today's world.

Danielle Burken - Danielle Burken Marketing On the How Marketing with Human Design Helps Your Business: "You're attracting the clients that you want to work with because you are showing up as the version of yourself that really trusts in the work that you're doing." We all have a voice.  In marketing our business, we often try to sugarcoat or use an inauthentic voice that may not really align with us.  Or really even sound anything like us. If you've ever wondered how to find greater alignment in your work, or felt frustrated by “cookie-cutter” marketing formulas that just don't fit for your personality, you won't want to miss this conversation. Danielle shares how she went from running a successful food blog to managing a marketing agency, and ultimately discovered the power of applying human design—a system based on your birth details—to help entrepreneurs market and run their businesses in a way that genuinely feels right for them. James and Danielle dive deep into what human design is, how it differs from traditional personality tests, and why knowing your own design can clear the noise and confusion so common in the modern marketing world. Danielle offers up real-life stories from her own journey and client work, discussing the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of authenticity, and even the tough conversations she faced when leaving her day job to take the leap into business ownership. Listen as Danielle explains how using Human Design can be a great way to bring your own voice into your marketing for your business. Enjoy!

So for audience members who haven't heard about human design before, it is a tool similar to, let's say, Enneagram, disc assessment, Myers Briggs, those personality type tests. However, this goes a layer deeper because it's based on your birth date and time. And when we apply it to marketing, business becomes so much easier. James Kademan [00:00:28]: Oh well, easy business is best. You have found Authentic Business Adventures, the business program that brings you the struggle stories and triumphant successes of business owners across the land.

James Kademan [00:01:07]: And you do marketing, but it, it goes a little deeper than that. Danielle Burken [00:01:10]: It does a lot deeper. I do everything through the lens of human design. So. James Kademan [00:01:15]: Okay. Danielle Burken [00:01:16]: For audience members who haven't heard about human design before, it is a tool similar to, let's say, Enneagram Disc Assessment, Myers Briggs, those personality typ tests. However, this goes a layer deeper because it's based on your birth date and time. So it's not answering any questions which I feel can sometimes skew your results.

Send us a textMe Before PMDD: Relationship Reset Toolkit-CouplesClick to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokHave you ever wondered why your PMDD seems to create the same relationship conflicts month after month, despite your best efforts? The answer might not be in the condition itself, but in how your nervous system responds to stress.I never thought I'd be the person advocating for slowing down. As an Enneagram seven and someone who managed PMDD through constant motion, I viewed "being still" as inefficient and unnecessary. My morning routines were sacred—walking my dog, working out, and setting my mind right before the day began. This approach worked... until it didn't.A herniated disc injury forced me to pause my usual coping mechanisms, leaving me terrified of facing my PMDD symptoms without my trusted movement practices. But something unexpected happened during a recent trip to Cabo where I couldn't engage in my usual activities—my sleep quality dramatically improved, my PMDD symptoms became more manageable, and I discovered a profound peace I hadn't known was possible.What I uncovered through this journey was that my nervous system had been chronically dysregulated, stuck in sympathetic "fight-flight-freeze" mode even when there was no danger. This dysregulation wasn't just affecting me—it was sabotaging my relationships by making genuine connection impossible. When we're operating from a dysregulated nervous system during PMDD, we trigger our partners' alarm systems too, creating a cycle where both people feel misunderstood, defensive, and emotionally exhausted.The roots of my compulsive "doing" traced back to childhood experiences in foster care, where I learned I needed to prove my worth to be loved and accepted. I brought this pattern into adult relationships, creating an unsustainable dynamic of hypervigilance that intensified during my luteal phase.If you recognize yourself in this pattern—whether you're the one with PMDD or the partner—there's hope. Regulating your nervous system is possible through awareness, conscious choices, and sometimes challenging your most fundamental beliefs about yourself. Ready to transform your PMDD relationships? Visit inlovewithpmdd.com to access my new "Rewire the Rage" program with practical tools for nervous system healing.

We're diving deep into the fascinating world of money management today, and the big takeaway is all about recognizing your "money monsters." These clever little critters are those unconscious patterns and fears that shape how we handle our finances—think of them as the gremlins of your budget! Our guest, Doug Lenham, a former Marine turned Benedictine monk and now a successful money manager, shares his unique journey and insights on how our childhood experiences can create these monsters. He uses the Enneagram personality system to help us identify our financial behaviors, whether we're earners, savers, or, dare I say, "blingers!" Plus, we tackle some practical advice for those of us in the sandwich generation juggling kids and aging parents—hint: remember to pay yourself first! So grab your headphones, and let's get ready to tackle those money monsters together!Takeaways: This podcast episode dives into financial habits, focusing on how to talk about money in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. Doug Lenham, a former Marine and monk, shares powerful insights about transforming your relationship with money after facing bankruptcy. Understanding your 'money monsters' through the Enneagram helps identify childhood trauma that affects financial behaviors. The episode emphasizes the importance of being financially literate and taking responsibility for your own financial future, no one cares more than you! For the sandwich generation, it's crucial to set boundaries and prioritize your own financial health while caring for others. Teaching kids about money early, like giving allowances, can help them understand saving and long-term growth through smart investing.

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Rutledge, an Enneagram Type 8, who recently completed my Unf*ck Your Type Enneagram course. We dive deep into his experience working through defense mechanisms, blind spots, and the journey from vice to virtue.What We Cover:Eric's "holy shit" moment recognizing when he goes on autopilot to avoid vulnerability and how that awareness changed everythingThe blind spot revelation and how Type 8s unconsciously take on pushy "helper" energy with close people and why the repair conversations were harder than expectedWhy vulnerability isn't weakness and how Eric learned to open "some doors" without opening them all at onceThe truth about Type 8 hearts and why protecting that tender core through control and intensity actually isolates you from the people who matter mostHow learning to be vulnerable with yourself (not just others) unlocks emotional freedom you didn't know you were missingAbout Eric Rutledge: Eric is an online fitness and nutrition coach who helps people transform their health without the years of trial and error he went through himself. As a former extremely overweight individual who found his own way, his goal is simple: make sure his clients never need another coach again by giving them sustainable, lasting results. As a Type 8, Eric brings his characteristic direct, no-BS approach to helping people cut through the confusion and get real results in their fitness journey.Connect with Eric on InstagramReady to do your own shadow work?

My recent friend Faith, who I met at an OTL Dialogue, has a gift for questions. So when Faith expressed interest in asking me about my community living situation, I was grateful she was up for recording our call, because she's a careful thinker who understands systems from a deep rootedness in the organic nature of community and personhood. And boy, did she make me think and reflect.Leaving our conversation, I'm left with questions for how to make my community house wiser, more developed, more mature. I'm left wondering how we can develop rituals of modifying our covenant, rituals of remembering our values and vision, on staying attuned to different nodes of awareness on the health of the community, and on encouraging multiple nodes of community ownership.

In this episode of This Spiritual Fix, Kristina and Anna dive deep into one of the most complex Inner Villains: The Evasive Expert.Before diving in, Anna shares an unexpected update from her own life—how applying lessons from The Second Mouth changed something as simple (and overlooked) as how she pees. What begins as lighthearted banter becomes a surprising doorway into the episode's theme: the tension between body, emotion, and intellect.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe Evasive Expert DefinedHow this archetype shows up as the pinnacle villain of the control arc—intelligent, compartmentalized, and emotionally cut off. Linked to the Enneagram 5, the open/undefined solar plexus in Human Design, and the core wound of rejection.Pop Culture MirrorsDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Hannibal Lecter, Sherlock Holmes, and Dexter all embody aspects of this archetype—brilliant, contained, but haunted by dark passengers.The Wounded Child: The SensitiveStories of early emotional suppression (like a young boy teaching himself not to cry) and how those walls become lifelong strategies.The Covert Form: The CompartmentalizerHow socially “professional” compartmentalization can become a way of hiding feelings rather than processing them.The Hero: The PassionateWhy passion and embodied emotional expression are the way through—and how intellectual brilliance can become grounded in true connection.The Legend: The IntegratorA life where intellect and emotion live side by side, leading to deeper relationships, creativity, and balance.Key ThemesThe danger of compartmentalization and hidden “dark passengers.”The difference between control villains and illusion villains.Why bypassing emotion through intellect can look functional, but often hides deeper fractures.The importance of somatic and body-based practices for healing.Trigger WarningThis episode includes discussion of dark passengers such as addiction, hidden lives, and child exploitation.

We dive deep into her experience working through defense mechanisms, blind spots, and the journey from vice to virtue.What We Cover:•Kristin's biggest breakthrough with the blind spot module and how she uses it with clients• The truth about Type 6 projection and how (and why) Sixes project positive traits just as much as negative ones• What it looks like when a Six is in their blind spot with family (hint: lots of "I don't wanna do this" energy)• Fear vs anxiety. Why anger and cynicism are often fear in disguise for Sixes• What courage actually looks like for a Type 6 (spoiler: it feels terrible and that's the point)About Kristin: Kristin is an Enneagram coach who works exclusively with Type 6s, helping them navigate the complexities of fear, projection, and finding courage. She hosts the "Life Uninhibited" podcast, the only Enneagram podcast dedicated entirely to Sixes, and runs a monthly membership community where Sixes can learn and grow together.

While Human & Holy is currently on a season break, we're revisiting some of our most meaningful conversations from seasons past.This week's episode rerun is a conversation with Ester Zirkind, exploring the concept of Moach Shalit al Halev, the mind ruling over the heart. In a personal accounting of this idea, Ester speaks about the importance of our emotions in the equation. Using the mind to guide the heart is not about suppressing emotions. It's a spiritual reframe: how to honor your heart while allowing your mind to gently lead the way.

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: Today on the podcast: our final Creative Archetype….Enneagram 9s. Teachers call this type The Peacemaker. Merideth chats with author and editor Ariel Curry, bassist and author David James, and author, spiritual director, and retreat leader Lori Melton, all about life as a creative 9. They discuss figuring out how you feel, cultivating a relationship with conflict, and making room for individuality through creative expression.   (Side note: All 3 of these 9s are married to Enneagram 8s. How about that!)  These 9s invite you all to celebrate the space you inhabit in your personality as we encourage them to step into and celebrate theirs. Invitation:  Take a moment to grab a pen or pencil and draw what you see with your non-dominant hand. 9s are great at not judging, so as you create, sustain judgment of yourself. Be open, playful, and imaginative as you take up space on the page. Allow whatever comes up to come up, and whatever you do, don't stop until you are done. When you feel finished, journal about the experience. What was your inner dialogue like? Do not let the noise of your critic shake your inner peace. Give yourself permission to try and try again.  Ariel Curry, author and editor David James, bassist and author Lori Melton, author, spiritual director, and retreat leader David Gate Enneagram Poems Enneagram Workshop with Artists for Joy Playlist of the Creative Archetypes Series Register for the next Artist's Way Creative Cluster Buy Merideth a coffee Email the show: hello@artistsforjoy.org  Email the show: hello@artistsforjoy.org 

In this episode of The Daily Windup, we explore the surprising intersection between leadership confidence, self-doubt, and team dynamics in business. Our conversation uncovers how even seasoned CEOs wrestle with waves of uncertainty—despite producing thousands of deliverables over their careers—and how tools like StrengthsFinder and the Enneagram can help leaders better understand themselves and their teams. You will hear how strategic hiring, self-awareness assessments, and ongoing learning play a role in building a resilient organization, even when perceptions of leadership don't always match the leader's self-image. Our discussion also takes a deeper dive into big-picture planning, mentorship, and knowing when it's time to pivot. From setting a clear vision that aligns staff to reflecting on when—and why—you might sell your business, this episode delivers candid insights on navigating the entrepreneurial journey. Along the way, we hear how mastermind groups, mentorships, and strategic reflection can shape a company's direction, and why having “what's next” in mind is essential for both succession planning and personal fulfillment.

Ever feel like the world's volume knob is stuck on “too loud”? In this week's episode of Typology, I'm joined by my friend Sarah Boyd—an insightful Enneagram Four and author of the brand-new book, Turn Down the Noise: A Practical Guide to Building an Emotionally Healthy Family in a Chronically Overstimulated World. Sarah has walked through seasons of deep beauty and deep challenge—including her own cancer journey—and she's here to share how those experiences have shaped her understanding of creativity, meaning, and the role our emotions play in living a full, authentic life. We talk about how overstimulation impacts both adults and kids, why recognizing our limitations matters, and how setting healthy boundaries isn't selfish—it's essential. Sarah offers thoughtful, practical ideas for creating a home where emotional health can thrive, even when the world outside feels overwhelming. If you've been craving a little more peace, presence, and emotional resilience in your daily life, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we explore: The beauty and necessity of emotional experiences How to navigate life in a chronically overstimulated world Simple, powerful practices for parents to nurture their kids' emotional well-being The freedom that comes from self-care and clear boundaries Thank you for tuning in. We hope you enjoy this enriching episode!

Navigate the midnight hours of life and faith with profound wisdom from author Aubrey Sampson, Enneagram 4 (4-7 pairing), as we discover what we actually find in spiritual darkness through Aubrey's soul-wrenching journey of losing her best friend Jen and encountering the "dark night of the soul." Learn why spiritual dryness isn't failure but invitation, how to support others through their darkest seasons without trying to fix them, and why some of our most profound encounters with God happen when He feels most absent. Aubrey offers honest hope for anyone walking through grief, spiritual darkness, or seasons when faith feels impossible - showing how the midnight hours can become places of sacred encounter rather than spiritual failure.

Together, they talk about how they've learned to appreciate each other's instincts and how their dynamic leads to more thoughtful collaboration and better outcomes.

We're all just trying to get through life in this messed-up world, and whether we realize it or not, we all go looking for a “fix” to help us cope with the pain, uncertainties, or difficulties we face.  Sometimes those fixes seem harmless, and other times, they spiral into habits we can't break. So, today on the 4:13, best-selling author, psychotherapist, and Enneagram expert Ian Morgan Cron will challenge the way you think about addiction. He'll explain what addiction really is, how everyone is addicted to something, and why the 12 Steps aren't just for alcoholics—they're for all of us. Whether you've struggled with overeating, overworking, perfectionism, or just find yourself stuck in a bad habit or unhealthy cycle, you'll discover that addiction isn't just “their” problem. It's all of ours. We're all prone to self-destructive behaviors that ultimately create more problems than they solve. But here's the good news: there's a path to freedom. And it's not about white-knuckling your way through change—it's about a grace-powered transformation that leads to spiritual awakening.  SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/362  Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

Susan shares what real power looks like, not dominance, but care, and also shares five practical ways to cultivate personal power in everyday life.
