Enneagram Five

[LIVE] Can Enneagram 5s be Expressive and Outgoing?


Listen Later

Can Fives really be expressive and outgoing? 

The stereotype says no—but we’re here to challenge that idea. In this episode, we unpack the myth that Fives are always quiet, reserved, and withdrawn, and we share our own experiences of learning to express ourselves in the world. Plus, we introduce a new structure for our live episodes, featuring a mix of community engagement, deep dives, and a little bit of fun.

We also announce huge changes to the podcast, including moving to a weekly format, merging our live episodes into the main show, and shifting our focus toward personal growth strategies for Fives—because understanding yourself is only the beginning.

IN THIS EPISODE:

🔹 Big Changes! Josiah is now full-time with Enneagram Five, the podcast is going weekly, and we’ve revamped our format.
🔹 Red, Yellow, Green Check-in – How are we feeling this week? (Spoiler: Job transitions bring clarity.)
🔹 Current Curiosities – Cody goes deep on Birkenstock clogs (yes, really), while Josiah dives into growing a newsletter and internet marketing strategies.
🔹 Debunking the Five Stereotype – Why Fives can be expressive and outgoing, and how personal growth expands what’s possible.
🔹 Would You Rather? – Unlimited knowledge with no one to share it with, or deep relationships but struggle to learn new things? (We’ve got thoughts.)
🔹 Growth vs. Comfort – The hard but necessary work of feeling emotions in the moment and breaking old Five patterns.
