Send us a textAdvent begins in a dark season, especially in the Western Hemisphere, and that's no accident. In this conversation with Pastor Jason Jackson, we explore why Advent matters, especially in seasons marked by grief, disappointment, or exhaustion. We talk about the church calendar, the subversive invitation to slow down, and how this sacred season holds space for both lament and hope. Whether you're new to Advent or longing to find God in the tension, this episode offers gentle wisdom, theological depth, and a deeply pastoral word for your soul.Learn more about Communion of the Saints Church in Colorado Springs: https://www.cosdowntown.org/https://www.simplywholehearted.com/wholeheartedcoachingcollectiveGet Your Enneagram Gift Guide and Advent Podcast Playlisthttps://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 Enneagram at Work, we continue the 9 Types Overview Series with a fast-paced, insightful look at Enneagram Type 3: Striving to Feel Outstanding, often known as The Achiever or, in the Awareness to Action model, The Pacesetter.We'll explore how Type 3s bring drive, confidence, and high performance to the workplace, and how their desire to succeed and be seen as capable influences their leadership style, communication, and relationships at work.Pulling from real client examples and team dynamics from recent workshops, we'll look at what helps Type 3s thrive, what derails them, and how teams can support the “go-getters” who keep everyone moving forward.What You'll Learn When You Tune In:The core motivation behind Type 3's drive to feel outstandingWhy Type 3s are often seen as natural leaders and high performersHow their strengths - drive, focus, adaptability - become blindspots when overusedKey characteristics of the Pacesetter Leadership StyleWhat energizes vs. drains Type 3s at workHow instinctual biases (Preserving, Navigating, and Transmitting) create three distinct flavors of Type 3Growth practices using their arrows to Type 6 and Type 9How to give feedback in ways that build trust, not defensivenessTry This at Work: Quick ExperimentsIf you're a Type 3: Track how you showed up, not just what you achieved. Practice slowing down long enough to rest, reflect, and reconnect with your own values.If you work with a Type 3: Acknowledge accomplishments and effort. Set clear, meaningful goals. Invite authenticity by asking how they're doing behind the successes.For Teams & LeadersType 3s bring momentum, optimism, and ambition to the workplace. They raise the bar, inspire confidence, and help teams deliver results. But they also carry the weight of constant expectation, both from others and themselves.Teams that work well with Type 3s create space for connection, authenticity, and rest, not just performance. A healthy Type 3 doesn't just do great work; they model sustainable success and motivate others to grow with them.Have a request for a future episode? Drop a text here!

In this episode, we explore how Gen Z and Millennial sayings reveal way more about your Enneagram type than you might think. We break down why each type naturally gravitates toward certain phrases—whether they're reassuring, dramatic, sarcastic, or straight-up unhinged. Blending humor with personality insight, we look at how these viral sayings highlight each type's strengths, fears, and communication style. Whether you're a college student figuring yourself out or a Millennial wondering when slang got so weird, this episode is a fun and meaningful dive into language, culture, and the Enneagram. Tune in to find your type's signature saying (and maybe steal a few new ones). Follow us on Instagram @themulemindset to see weekly video content!

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.

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.

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?

Every Enneagram type has its own set of non-negotiables — the boundaries that keep us balanced and grounded. They show up in how we study, how we handle pressure, and how we connect with people. Knowing what you need and where you draw the line isn't about being rigid; it's about understanding yourself and creating space for growth. When we respect our own limits and recognize others' too, relationships get easier, work feels smoother, and we show up more honestly in every part of life.Follow us on Instagram @themulemindset to see exclusive video content!

How much better does taking an empathetic approach impact not just your leadership, but your ability to bring the right products and services to market nd truly connect with your ideal customers? Turns out, it can help you avoid costly advertising campaign failures!Today I talk with Lane Byrum, EQ coach and Director of Corporate Accounts for Five Capitals. Lane shares one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard about blending business with human connection, how empathy got real for him in that moment, and how it changed the team and consumer. He also gives a great example of how one company wasted millions of dollars on a brand-damaging ad campaign that missed the mark when it failed to dive deeper into empathy for your target audience - and how they put ego aside, took responsibility, and re-did the research to launch a breakthrough campaign instead! We discuss how empathy helps you break away from putting people into labels and boxes to form better connections. He shares three ways to get curious without sounding like you are interrogating someone. And Lane shares how to use empathy as a tool in a healthy, compassionate way with four steps to engage in a deeper connection at work - or at home!To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode at TheEmpathyEdge.com Listen for…The research project that made empathy real for Lane.Why empathy is first and foremost about acknowledging, not fixing or solving. Key steps to engage in a deeper connection with others. How to use empathy and storytelling as a tool. "You have to be courageous in these times, because there are a lot of reasons why you shouldn't (be) that sound right, - until you use courage and empathy, you won't understand how wrong those reasons are." — Lane Byrum Episode References: Always Like a Girl Campaign and Super Bowl ad from Leo BurnettAbout Lane Byrum: EQ Coach and Director of Corporate Accounts, Five CapitalsLane brings 18 years of experience in qualitative research with Fortune 500 companies, and now devotes his work to developing emotionally intelligent leaders and teams.

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.

This episode introduces the Obedient Critic, a villain archetype rooted in the fear of humiliation and obsession with hierarchy and order. Kristina breaks down how this archetype develops in high-pressure environments where performance and perfection are rewarded—and how it can show up as a moral superiority that isolates the individual from authentic connection.We explore the transformation journey from perfectionist and people-pleaser to the Hero (the Anarchist) and ultimately the Legend (the Equalizer), who is free of internalized hierarchy and embodies true humility and presence.Archetype Breakdown:Pinnacle Villain: The Obedient Critic — uses shame and order to control.Successful Antagonist: The Perfectionist — believes perfect behavior can prevent shame.Wounded Child: The Impostor — feels inherently outside the system.Covert Form: The People Pleaser — overfunctions to relieve pressure and maintain peace.Hero: The Anarchist — dismantles internal and external hierarchy.Legend: The Equalizer — creates belonging through humility and integrity.Key Concepts:The wound of humiliation leads to rigid systems of control.How early childhood environments (e.g. rigid parenting, institutional pressure) shape this archetype.The trap of confusing shame avoidance with moral superiority.Why the Equalizer isn't just rebellious—but relational and rooted.Releasing “obedience to the system” in favor of creating systems rooted in mutual dignity.Case Study: Reddit AITA Post AnalysisScenario: Husband lies about Valentine's plans to be with his abusive mother.Archetypes:Mother = Obedient CriticHusband = People Pleaser (covert)Wife = Anarchist in transitionThemes: Shame, inherited obedience, loyalty vs protection, moral blindness.Referenced Tools:Human Design: Root Center (pressure to act, perform, do)Enneagram: Type 1 (Reformer/Perfectionist)Drama Triangle: Persecutor (Villain), Victim (Wounded Child), Rescuer (Covert Form)Study link: https://www.canonsociaalwerk.eu/1971_stigma/1973%20Rosenhan%20Being%20sane%20in%20insane%20places%20OCR.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.comQuotes:“You are effectively keeping yourself in a toxic system and calling it integrity.”“The Obedient Critic doesn't want connection—they want order.”“Humiliation is the worst possible wound for this archetype.

The nine Enneagram types tell us a lot, but the Enneagram subtypes descriptions offer an even more nuanced view of the personality types, shedding light on our most unconscious level of functioning so we can become more self-aware. The Enneagram describes three centers of human intelligence—the head, heart, and body. Each triad then divides into three to create nine interconnected personality types. These types also each have their own triad—the third level of three—the 27 subtypes. Subtypes are based on whether a person has a predominant instinctual drive toward Self-Preservation, Social interaction in groups, or One-to-one bonding. In this one-hour event, Bea and Uranio will discuss the Enneagram subtypes—everything you wanted to know (but didn't know to ask) ahead of their 2023 series, ⁠Mastering the 27 Enneagram Subtypes for Maximum Growth⁠.By the way, you can watch and listen to most of our episodes now.
