150: Client Spotlight with Marissa: The twists and turns of an Enneagram 6
Today we’re talking to someone I’ve taken through the typing process.
Marissa is an Enneagram 6, and 6s don’t like to be blindsided by things—but I’m a go-rogue type of person naturally.
Listen now
In fact, she was up at 3am wondering what we were going to talk about.
I like when 6s lean into their healthy 9 (their growth number). If she wasn’t healthy, me not sending her these questions ahead of time could've really spun her out.
Enneagram 6s are the ones that need to know, have spreadsheets for 3-10 scenarios, and will always have your back—more so than anyone.
“This brain never stops,” Marissa tells me. “It doesn’t necessarily come out of my mouth, but my brain is always going. I used to keep it all inside when I was an unhealthy version of myself, but now I speak a lot more than I used to.”
So why was she up at 3am?
“Things that were going through my mind at 3am: What if she asks me about my story? What story do I tell? What version? What part of my story will I talk about? Who wants to know what? What if she asks me something and I’m stumped?”
I know there are a lot of you that probably relate to this even if you’re not an Enneagram 6. But 6s tend to run through worst case scenarios—which makes them great troubleshooters but can also paralyze them.
Quotes:
1:56
Having a best friend that’s a 6 in my life, I had to really alter how I you know kinda run my show here like myself.
6:40
For a lot of people, having certainty is more important than the unknown.
12:54 (Marissa)
I would say paralyzed is like the word of what I was when I was in my toxic marriage
17:08
When you have so much uncertainty in your day to day life, an Enneagram 6 will focus on the things they can control and hyperactively do that.
24:05
If you are a 6, being able to communicate why you need to have these questions answered especially if you're in healthy relationships is key.
30:47
It’s really important to not just understand your type but all the moving parts of it, it’s not complicated but it is complex.
33:34
Use your wings, to your advantage to help push you into your Enneagram growth number.
38:34 (Marissa)
Feed into the “what if’s” in the positive way, there’s so many amazing opportunities on the other side of that courageous act.
41:35
Start building a healthy case of reminders of when courage really honored you and things for your life.
43:22
When I had more compassion for myself I was able to freely give that to other people.
