Hello friends! This week we have a monster episode for you that tackles a lot of the common mistakes we make when trying to determine our type. It also helps establish that every single number is connected in at least one way to every other number. The hope is that even if you are solid in your number, you realize how important it is to grow in empathy for others because they all share similar traits and quirks with us in some way or another.

Share with us on Instagram or in our voice comments if you have another question regarding confusing one number for another. And of course, keep the questions coming!

This week we tackle the hard problem of wanting to figure out our types but not having the time or capacity for reading giant textbook-sized journals about all 9 types. You know I don't like Enneagram Tests, but in this episode, we talk through not one set of Triads, but four of them. You've already been introduced to the Core Intelligences (Gut, Heart, Head), but tune in to hear about Stances, Harmonic Types, and something called Object Relations. Each of these three new triads have only one number in the Core, meaning that if you're paying close attention and are honest about yourself (and with yourself), you should find just enough overlap to narrow down your search immensely.

Thanks, as always, to BigFish_Music.

This week in our Enneagram Series, we tackle how 9 different types actually become 54 with a little special mathematics and that if you're really crazy, you can have connections to 6 of the 9 numbers! (Hint: I don't recommend it.) I'm joined by a special surprise guest this week who had a question of her own and so I got her to ask it on the air while we had a little chat about what Wings, Subtypes (Instinctual Variants), and Lines of Integration (Paths of Growth) and Disintegration (Paths of Stress) are. We had fun and I hope you do as well! Keep the questions coming on social media and in the voice comments available here and then clicking on the little "Message" option.

If you're interested in learning more about the Enneagram and would like to speak with me about possibly doing a workshop with your organization, company, church, or small group, you can find more information here.

This week's Enneagram Episode tackles the idea of whether a model has to be perfectly accurate in order to be helpful. We also try to address why there are specifically 9 types and whether this is just a way of putting ourselves into yet another stereotypical box. An especially useful episode if you have reservations about the veracity of the information obtained from this tool. Keep your questions coming!

Today we begin our Q&A series on the Enneagram! For those who don't know, the Enneagram is a tool used to help people identify with particular personality traits based on motivations. It's a good introduction for those who haven't heard of it before, and probably approaches things from a slightly different perspective even if you have. We spend some time talking about the three Triads or Centers- the Body, the Heart, and the Mind. We introduce our struggles with Anger, Shame, and Fear. Then we briefly unpack the processes that lead each of the 9 types toward their deadly sins. There's so much more to come in the series and I can't wait to hear from you all in the comments and on social media with your questions.

This week you get to hear a short conversation with... well, myself. I didn't want to get too far into the life of this podcast without giving you all my One More Thing. It's really the driving force behind why I started the podcast in the first place and though I'm a little wary of this getting out there, I think it's time.

The exciting second part to Michelle's story has arrived! Listen as we talk through what it means to find family, find hope, and find a purpose in life. Even if none of those things are what we expected them to be. We hear about the interesting pronouncement over her life, the birth of her other children, the wonderful relationship with her husband, and the amazing direction their lives are headed together now. We also get to meet a surprise guest!

A quick breakdown of one of the tastiest, greasiest foods you can imagine- and why the flavor profiles (at least for me!) work so incredibly well together. It takes the best of two different foods and blends them together. I cobbled together my version of this particular burger from a hole in the wall joint called The Texas Inn, in Lynchburg, VA. Locals call it "The T Room". It's claim, since the depression, is that they serve "1500 people, 15 at a time". And every time I went, the place was packed.

I've been looking forward to this interview since I first got the idea for the podcast. Michelle is adopted family to me and I've been privileged to be able to walk with her through many of the ups and downs she's experienced in life. She is truly an inspiration to me and my family and I'm eager for you all to hear her story.

No special guest this week. Just me on my own with my thoughts. Many of you know that I really enjoy various personality typing systems. This episode is my attempt to give you a rough outline on four of the many options out there. The Four Temperaments (Four Humors), StrengthsFinder (CliftonStrengths), the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and the Enneagram.

If you're new to any of these, or perhaps new to the idea of personality tests and assessments, this episode is a great place to start! If you're more familiar with various tools out there, this may help you understand some of the more important nuances to each, including why I favor the ones that I do.
