In this episode of the Parenting & the Enneagram series, I’m joined by my friend Lauren Smith as we dive into what it really looks like to parent, also from the lens of her Enneagram Type, the 3 Achiever. Together, we unpack the tension between striving and slowing down, the pressure to “do it all well,” and the deeper desire beneath it all—to feel valued not just for what we accomplish, but for who we are.

Lauren shares honestly about the highs and challenges of parenting through the lens of achievement, image, and efficiency, while we both reflect on how our kids have a way of gently (and sometimes not-so-gently) inviting us into more presence, connection, and authenticity.

Whether you’re a Type 3 parent or just someone trying to balance expectations with real life, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that you don’t have to earn your worth—even in motherhood.

Let’s type about it. 💛
