In this mini episode, Patria and Ro explore how Enneagram Type Fives tend to move through the holidays—often managing overwhelm by pulling inward, conserving energy, or staying in their heads. They unpack how early strategies of withdrawal and self-sufficiency became a form of protection, and why this season can heighten feelings of depletion or disconnection.

They also name the deeper longing beneath the Five’s retreat—the desire to engage without being drained—and offers gentle ways to stay present, share space, and participate on your own terms.

A calm, thoughtful companion for Fives and those who care about them.
