Think you know your Enneagram number but feel like others with your type don’t quite match your personality? 

You aren’t imagining things. This month we are going to be diving into Enneagram subtypes and why they matter. 

In this intro to our 5 episode series, we are breaking down the three core biological instincts—Social, Self-Preserving, and One-to-One (also called Bonding)— and how they shape the way your number shows up in your everyday life.

You’ll learn:

• What instinctual subtypes are and how they impact your motivation

• Real-world examples of each instinct (think squirrels, bees, and peacocks)

• Why understanding your dominant instinct gives you a more accurate Enneagram profile

  
  

Episodes 2-4 will break down each subtype in more detail, and episode 5 will be a special Q&A session. 

Have questions about subtypes? Drop them in the show notes, and I may answer yours on the final episode!

Tune in now and let’s unpack the layers of your Enneagram number.

Hi Enneagram 5s!

As a Type 5 mom, your days often start with a low energy reserve, like waking up with just 9% battery life. With each moment of parenting, you’re calculating what it will take to recharge and make it through the day without burning out.

We cover:

• The mindset shift of raising kids for academic achievement versus raising them to be resilient adults

• Why letting your kids fail is one of the most loving things you can do

• The importance of recharging your mental, emotional, and physical energy

  
  

If you are a 5, you may often feel the pull to conserve energy and avoid asking for help, but your insight, calm, and thoughtful nature are gifts your family needs.

Tune in now for empowering advice and encouragement for Enneagram 5s who want to lead with wisdom and wellness.
