Same But Different | Enneagram Conversations

Do we have the entire Ennegram within us? Yes.
Can we relate to all 9 types? Absolutely as it's a scale of our humanity and never intended to put us in any box.

But there are 5 types that we are primarily tied to:
•Our main type
•Wing (L)
•Wing (R)
•Stress Line (unaware)
•Security/Growth Line (aware)

These are the main energies we access and utilize.
We can also access the higher and lower sides of ALL of these 5 main types. So the high *and* lower side of both wings, the high *and* lower side of both our stress and security lines....

It's so much deeper and nuanced than even I show here but I did wanted to layout a more broad view of each type.
How do you use YOUR main 5 types? Let's talk about it!

Just a random episode of me rambling about how each of the 9 types have influenced me and how they show up in my life. The Enneagram has given me such unique and intimate insight in people's lived experiences of their type and I wanted to share that on this episode.

How we talk about ourselves matters and I have noticed a pattern of people using the Enneagram wings (and stress lines) to bypass parts of themselves. Blaming parts of ourselves for something or trying to dismiss it actually gives us an opportunity for self-awareness.

Let's talk about it!

"How do I find out my kid's Enneagram type" is such a common question and for good reason. Parents are looking to know their kids more deeply and to connect on a more personal level and it makes sense they would want to use the Enneagram to do that.

Let's talk about it!

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE ME STOP SAYING UM.

Long time no pod love! Happy to have this mic in front of me again and for 2023 to be behind us.

This episode I talk about going dry in 2023 as well as giving up gift giving. As an Enneagram 2, it was one of the best decisions I ever made for myself!

This is the episode I mention about my practice for Type Twos (or anyone really) to avoid manipulating with giving and then you'll select Apple or Spotify to listen from.

This is THE episode I have been wanting to do from day one!

Dear Abby....Ask Amy....but make it Enneagram! This is a format I have wanted to try from the beginning. My hope is to extend this information from just content into conversations.

I did a story on Instagram asking for questions to be answered on the pod and I got some great responses! Big thanks to those who participated.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses mental health, suicidal thoughts/ideations, hopelessness, and mentions binge eating.

I invite you to take care of yourself in whatever ways you want to or need to, including pausing for breaks or skipping this episode entirely. Sending you so much love. 

If you or someone you care about is struggling, you aren’t alone. Dial or text 988 for the national (USA) suicide and crisis lifeline.

In the beginning of this episode, you can hear me playing with the cords (from nerves) and it causes some audio issues. That only lasts about 5 minutes so hang in there.

This isn't what the pod is shifting to, me discussing mental health. Back to Enneagram next week. But it's on my heart to share where I'm at right now.

I am thrilled to have Mandy Capehart join me to talk Grief and the Enneagram. Our conversation touches on death, all things grief, and how we can tap into the high side of our stress line for grief support.
