70 | Especially Enneagram Series: Special Needs Parenting as an Enneagram 9
We continue our exploration of the Enneagram personality types as they relate to special needs parenting.
This week I sit down with Heather Fillmore, a fellow Enneagram 9 and parent to not one but several kids with disabilities. She shares about her experience as an Enneagram 9 but also as a coach to other Enneagram 9s. Heather shares how she has found ways to develop greater self-awareness and proactive behavior, shifting from numbing out to embracing her role with grace and compassion. This episode provides valuable lessons on managing internal conflicts and finding joy amidst the struggles.
We also discuss practical strategies for navigating conflict through somatic awareness and improving time management for Enneagram Type 9s. Heather shares techniques like centering and softening to help manage stress and foster deeper connections.
Then stay tuned while I share my own insights for Enneagram 9 special needs parents, with actionable advice on helping us discern our true wants and needs to conquering that calendar clutter we tend to deal with. Join us for an episode filled with wisdom, compassion, and practical steps to enhance your parenting journey.
Heather Fillmore is a Certified Life Coach and Somatic Coach who helps Enneagram Type 9s (Gentle Peacemakers) to bravely engage in everything that matters to them. She and her husband, Jeremy have 9 children. Two of them have Down syndrome and came to them from Russia in 2011 and 2012 when they were 4 and 5 years old. Two of their boys (one with mild Cerebral Palsy) joined them from China in 2016. Heather finds that managing her mind through self coaching and her nervous system through centering helps her show up as the mom she wants to be and stay on top of all of the demands of her family and business. They recently moved to Logan, Utah with their 5 youngest children and are excited to grow a small hobby farm.

Hey! Are you a parent of a loved one with a disability? Have you ever wanted to be on a podcast? Then I want to hear from you! Literally! Send me an audio message that I can include in an upcoming special episode.
Just click here to be directed to a website where you can record your response to the following question:
If you could go back in time to when your child was first diagnosed with a disability, what would you tell yourself?
I would LOVE to hear from you!!
And finally, if you have been wondering how long you need to keep certain documents, whether its a utility bill, and IEP, medical records, or an insurance policy, I have a quick and accessible one-page document for you to download that shares exactly how long you should be holding on to these items and when you can let them go (e.g. shred and/or recycle.)
Click here to get on my email list and I will send this handy doc straight to your inbox.
And I promise I won't start bombarding your inbox with emails -- that is not my style! I just want to be able to stay in touch and keep you informed occasionally of resources to help you reclaim whatever it is YOU need!
Happy Organizing!
