Beyond Your Number

How to Speak a Type 2’s Language (Without Losing Yourself in the Process)


Listen Later

How do you talk with someone who’s always giving, always helping, and always putting others first? In this episode, Damon and Kelly dive into the warm, people-focused world of the Enneagram Two — and why communication with them can feel like a hug, a therapy session, and a pep talk all in one.

Whether you are a 2 or love one, this conversation unpacks what motivates them, how to respond to their generosity, and why setting boundaries is key to real connection.

In This Episode:

  • The superpower of Twos: empathy, generosity, and relational radar
  • Why Twos ask “how are you?” — and really mean it
  • The danger of overextending: when helping becomes self-forgetting
  • How to communicate with a Two instead of being steamrolled by one
  • A growth path: pausing before saying “yes” and practicing self-care
