Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez

We explore the growing edges and intentional practices for Enneagram Sevens from the personal experience of Sarajane Case. 

Sarajane is a trained Enneagram teacher, author of the popular self-help book The Honest Enneagram and Host of the Enneagram & Coffee Podcast.  She helps people to find their perfect balance between self-care and growth so they can release shame on their path to doing less harm. Her new book - The Enneagram Letters: A poetic exploration of who you thought you had to be - releases on October 18th and is available for pre-order now.

In this season, I invite fellow Enneagram Teachers, Coaches & Authors onto the podcast to share with you their expert, but also their personal experiences of their Enneagram Types. Although they could share lots of wisdom about each of the Enneagram Numbers, we delve into their specific Type-structure and what their journey towards balance & growth has looked like. 

I share conversation with some pretty amazing Enneagram Practitioners this season. Some that you may be very familiar with from their books or social media platforms as well as some lesser known teachers that I think you’ll love. 

The first episode in this third season of Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez releases on October 12th, 2022 so follow along and subscribe for free wherever you listen to podcasts. In the meantime, reach out to me on my website at www.abbirodriguez.com to schedule a free consultation call for a corporate Enneagram Workshop.

This has been an incredible season to create with amazing guest teachers on the podcast as well as incredible people just like you that jumped into the coaching space with me for the live coaching episodes. I feel honored & humbled when I look back through the episodes at the many people gracious enough to share in those conversations with me.

I started this podcast in August this past fall releasing episodes each week, but as my kiddos transition out of the school year, I’ve realized that I have to set some parts of my work aside so that I have the space to show up & be present with my kiddos.

So, Enneagram Friends, here is what you can expect from me this summer.

You can expect that I will keep learning & growing this summer. I’m currently half-way through a 100hour Somatic Stress Release training so that I can add somatic stress coaching into my Enneagram coaching. As I work with individuals in the coaching space, so often these moments of overwhelm & chaos surface no matter what the Enneagram Type and so this program is another set of tools & skills to best support my clients.

You can also anticipate that I will have less availability this summer as I spend time with my kiddos. If you’re interested in starting a coaching relationship to meet weekly in the coaching space or even to just schedule an initial session, I want to encourage you to do that sooner than later as my availability will fill up quickly. Don’t wait to get the support you need.

And lastly you can anticipate that I’ll be back on the podcast this coming fall - continuing to provide spaces for you to increase your self-awareness through the lens of the Enneagram & invite you to consider some of the tools & practices you can incorporate to move out of feeling stuck into truly thriving.

This is the farewell to Season 2 and a promise to join back with you in the fall. I hope that your summer is filled with hope, possibility, & joy - and if you find that it’s not - come join me in the coaching space. Until then friends!

Chichi Agorom joins the podcast today to share about her new book The Enneagram for Black Liberation and to offer deeper insights on some of what she shares in her writings. We explore the idea of our Enneagram Types as armor with the awareness that those who hold marginalized identities aren’t always safe to put down the armor of their Type. Chichi contends that the Enneagram is not just a system for individual freedom & wholeness, but rather one that can move us towards collective wholeness & liberation.

Chichi Agorom is a lifelong student of what it means to be fully human. She is a Certified Enneagram Teacher & Practitioner, Adjunct Faculty with the Narrative Enneagram, and holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Post-Master's Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.

In this coaching session with an Enneagram Nine, we explore the deep desire for both peace & autonomy. She shares the experience of digging her heels in when others are pushing or pulling her as well as the internal desire to not have such stubborn boundaries with others. We explore the “too muchness” & overwhelm that’s felt in the Type Nine structure and how we can help support ourselves so that we don’t instantly collapse or hide when we feel swept up in the undertow of others. In our coaching conversation, we give some language to the felt-sense of boundaries and the overwhelm so that we have more awareness of our experience in real-time. I hope you’ll listen in with curiosity & see what resonates in your experience.

In this episode, I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Eight from the other side of the globe in Cape Town, South Africa. In our conversation, we explore how the protective-nature and energetic intensity of the Type 8 structure often causes us to react in more controlling ways than intended. We sense into the somatic experience of both the charged-up intensity of protecting others as well as the gentle calmness that we settled into as we processed the emotions coming up for her. Her presence in this coaching conversation beautifully demonstrates how strength AND gentleness are both a part of those of us that lead with Type Eight. If you lead with Type Eight or have Enneagram Eights in your life, this episode is for you. Let’s listen in with curiosity & compassion as we transition into the coaching space.

In this coaching session with an Enneagram Seven, we explore the orientation of positivity and the avoidance of negative emotions as part of her Type-structure. We consider the experience of idealizing a situation and the incredible disappointment that’s experienced when the situation doesn’t meet what we’d hoped for. We talk about how to experience & metabolize emotions so that they don’t keep “hanging out in the passenger seat” unresolved & ignored while we just keep driving on. This Type Seven is a part of a coaching group I facilitate with women that are all in the Assertive Stance, so it was great to have an opportunity to connect with her 1-on-1 in the coaching space. I hope you’ll listen in with curiosity & see what resonates in your experience.

Lee Fields, Certified Enneagram Facilitator, offer insights around the intersection of Somatic Experiencing & the Enneagram. In our conversation, we explore how an awareness of our felt-sensations can offer us incredible insight into the manifestations of our Enneagram Types. We also consider some practical steps you can take towards increasing your awareness of your somatic experiencing so that you can begin to work with your felt-sense. Lee offers us a wealth of knowledge in this conversation from her background with the Narrative Enneagram, her Enneagram Applications Certification, the Awareness to Action International School, and Marion Gilbert’s Somatic Enneagram program.

Often in personal development conversations, this idea of “doing your work” comes up, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, I share with you the framework for personal transformation with the Enneagram from my training with the Narrative Enneagram. It offers insight in how we can move from consuming Enneagram information to having genuine wisdom and growth.

This episode offers a brief guided meditation as a resource for bringing calm to moments of overwhelm. This body scan meditation is adapted from a guided meditation that was first offered to me in my Somatic certification by one of my teachers, Dr. Arielle Schwartz. This guided meditation is also accessible on InsightTimer and I’d also love for you to connect with me as a teacher there so you can following along with new meditations as they are posted there.
