In this powerful episode of The Enneagram Edge, Tracy O’Malley dives deep into the concept of integrity—not the polished, Instagram-worthy version, but the raw, unshakable alignment between your values, voice, and actions. If you’ve ever felt the quiet chaos of betraying your own truth for approval, comfort, or control, this episode is your wake-up call. Tracy shares how the Enneagram serves as a compass to help you recognize where you’ve drifted out of alignment and how to come back home to yourself. This isn’t about perfection or performance—it’s about living in integrity every single day and transforming your life, relationships, and legacy in the process.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. The Real Meaning of Integrity:
   • Integrity isn’t about being perfect or untouchable—it’s about being unshakably honest with yourself and others.
   • Alignment happens when your values, voice, and actions match—both on stage and backstage.
2. How the Enneagram Guides You Back to Integrity:
   • The Enneagram isn’t just a personality framework—it’s a map that shows you where you lose yourself and how to return to your truth.
   • Your core Enneagram type reveals your default patterns, fears, and motives, helping you recalibrate when you drift out of alignment.
3. Warning Signs and Course Corrections for Each Enneagram Type:
   • Type 1 (The Perfectionist): Out of integrity when you weaponize your inner critic. Realign by letting go of being right and focusing on being real.
   • Type 2 (The Helper): Out of integrity when you give to get and call it love. Realign by setting boundaries and honoring your own needs.
   • Type 3 (The Achiever): Out of integrity when your image leads and your soul follows. Realign by dropping the mask and speaking from your mess.
   • Type 4 (The Individualist): Out of integrity when emotional intensity overrides grounding presence. Realign by anchoring in the now and remembering you’re not your mood.
   • Type 5 (The Investigator): Out of integrity when you withhold truth to feel safe. Realign by sharing your insights and showing up fully.
   • Type 6 (The Loyalist): Out of integrity when fear hijacks your intuition. Realign by making decisions from inner calm, not outer chaos.
   • Type 7 (The Enthusiast): Out of integrity when positivity becomes a bypass. Realign by facing the hard stuff and feeling what’s real.
   • Type 8 (The Challenger): Out of integrity when control overtakes connection. Realign by letting softness lead and embracing vulnerability.
   • Type 9 (The Peacemaker): Out of integrity when you disappear to keep the peace. Realign by speaking up, even if your voice shakes.
4. The Power of Integrity in Leadership, Relationships, and Legacy:
   • Integrity isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a thousand tiny recalibrations every day.
   • When you live in integrity, you stop performing and start living. Your relationships deepen, your leadership becomes magnetic, and your legacy transforms.

Key Quotes:

• “Integrity doesn’t crumble all at once—it leaks in the moments you abandon your truth to stay comfortable.”
• “The Enneagram isn’t here to label you—it’s here to liberate you.”
• “When you walk in integrity, you don’t just change your life—you change your legacy.”
• “The thing you think defines you is actually the thing refining you.”
