We all have patterns that feel like personality, but are actually protection.

In this powerful conversation, Becca is joined by Enneagram teacher Katie Whitlock for a grounded, compassionate look at how the Enneagram helps us see ourselves and others more clearly.

Far beyond a personality test, the Enneagram reveals the why beneath our habits - the motivation, fear, and longing that quietly run the show. Katie, trained by renowned Enneagram teacher Suzanne Stabile, shares how each type has a “repressed center”  thinking, feeling, or doing that shapes our blind spots and drives our relationships.

Together, they unpack how understanding these inner patterns through enneagram transforms the way we love, lead, and live and how compassion becomes the natural byproduct of self-awareness.

This isn’t about labeling yourself. It’s about remembering who you are beneath the layers you’ve built to stay safe.

In this episode, we explore:
•What the Enneagram really is — and what it isn’t
•How each type represses thinking, feeling, or doing (and why it matters)
•Why your “blind spots” aren’t flaws but invitations
•How to stop expecting people to process life the same way you do
•The most misunderstood Enneagram types (and what’s really happening underneath)
•How the Enneagram can help you communicate more compassionately with your partner, friends, or kids
•Why true self-knowledge always leads to softer relationships

About Katie:

Katie is an Enneagram educator based in Cincinnati, OH. Having trained under the likes of Suzanne Stabile and Joey Schewee, she has used what she has been taught to create workshops and classes for people in her city (and beyond!) to discover themselves through the Enneagram.

Her latest endeavor includes the recent launch of her newest podcast "Early Access". Working together with Jeff Cook & TJ Wilson from Around the Circle, Katie speaks with young people about their Enneagram number and unique life experiences. She brings a fresh perspective to the Enneagram community and hopes to do so for a long time.
