The Enneagram has become super popular in recent years, but with that popularity comes a lot of myths and misunderstandings. Is it just another personality test? Is it too “woo woo”? Does it box people in? In this episode of Let’s Type About It, we’re diving into the most common misconceptions about the Enneagram and setting the record straight. 

We’ll explore where these ideas come from, why they miss the heart of the Enneagram, and how this tool can actually bring freedom, clarity, and compassion when understood correctly. Whether you’re brand new to the Enneagram or you’ve been around the circle a few times, this conversation will give you fresh perspective and maybe even a few “aha” moments.

Ever wonder why some little things set you off while your friend barely notices? In this episode, we’re diving into the hilarious (and oh-so-relatable) world of Enneagram pet peeves. From the perfectionist’s eye twitch at crooked picture frames to the helper’s frustration when someone says “I’m fine” (but clearly isn’t), we’re breaking down the everyday annoyances that drive each type absolutely crazy. Tune in for laughs, “that’s so me” moments, and maybe even a little self-awareness about your own quirks.

We all want to feel loved—but the way we like to be loved? That gets a little more personal. In this episode, we’re talking all about how your Enneagram type plays a big role in how you experience the 5 Love Languages. From the types who melt over a thoughtful gift to the ones who’d rather just have a little uninterrupted quality time, we break down what makes each type feel seen, safe, and genuinely cared for.

We’ll explore why certain love languages hit home for some types (and totally miss for others), how to better understand your people, and why knowing your why behind your love language can change everything. Whether you're trying to love your partner better or just make sense of your own heart, this episode is full of real talk, warmth, and those little “ohhh that’s me” moments.

I just turned 35—and like any self-aware Enneagram Type 2 with a strong 1 wing, I’m using this milestone to reflect, reframe, and (let’s be honest) overanalyze everything I’ve learned so far.

In this solo episode, I’m looking at the past through the lens of my Enneagram type: the ways I’ve grown, the ways I’ve over-helped, and the patterns I’m still untangling. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to learning how to embrace my full potential, I’m sharing what it means to come home to myself in this season.

Here’s to 35. To becoming. To boundaries. And to believing we’re already enough.

In this episode, we explore one of the most tender and transformative layers of the Enneagram: the childhood wound. Each type carries an early message—often unspoken, sometimes misinterpreted—that shaped how we learned to protect ourselves, connect with others, and find belonging. We’ll walk through what each Enneagram type may have felt in childhood, how that wound still echoes in adulthood, and why bringing compassion to those younger parts of ourselves is a powerful step toward healing and growth. 

Whether you're new to the Enneagram or knee-deep in self-awareness work, this episode offers insight, empathy, and maybe even a few "oh wow, that’s me" moments.

Every Enneagram type carries a beautiful set of strengths that make the world brighter—but let’s be honest, each type also has a few patterns that can trip them up. In this episode, we’re walking through all nine types to talk about what they naturally excel at, where they tend to get stuck, and one simple, heartfelt growth tip for each type.

Whether you’re new to the Enneagram or you’ve been on this journey for years, this episode will help you better understand yourself and the people you love. Think of it as an encouraging guide to embrace your gifts, extend compassion to your struggles, and take small steps toward growth.

This is one you’ll want to save and share with a friend!
