Hey, 9s! I just woke up and rolled out of bed to record this episode, so I'm keeping this description short and sweet. I review the Top 5 Regrets of the Dying (a powerful book by Bronnie Ware), identify the regrets many 9s resonate with, discuss my own big life regrets, and talk about what we Peacemakers can do to live a more courageous, engaged, full life.

Hey, Fellow 9s! In today's mini episode, I encourage you to ditch the shame you have around your troubles with consistency and aim for a different (but related) goal instead.

Introducing my Summer Booty Shorts Series! Each week during the summer, I'll drop short and punchy mini-episodes to get you thinking, feeling, and taking action.

In this episode, I share the heartbreaking, profound, and eloquent thoughts of a Peacemaker pal I met in a Facebook group for 9s. Take a listen to what he's identified as his hidden agenda as a (social) Type 9.

Hey, Friends! Guess what. The listeners have spoken and I happen to agree with them. This podcast has gone back to being a show for Type 9s! 

Other happy news:

• I'm switching to a weekly publishing schedule! New episodes will drop every Tuesday.
• Get ready for my Summer Shorty Series (mini-episodes to feed your Peacemaker soul)
• Longer format interviews and solo casts will resume in the fall.

In this episode I discuss:

• Why desire is such a scary, seemingly dangerous idea for 9s
• Why I gave into fear and changed the focus of this podcast, and why desire brought me back on track
• Capital "D" Desires vs. Lower Case "D" Desires
• The triggering story we tell ourselves about desire
• Why desire is more important than willpower and discipline 
• Why it's important to manage our energy resources wisely, prioritizing desire
• Why being crystal clear about our desires-- then talking about them, obsessing over them, and speaking them out loud-- is the muscle we need to strengthen as 9s

Since I'm the Queen of Career Change (and finally landed on my true calling/ dream business), I thought I'd bring Hope Cook onto the show to help all my fellow empaths with the internal, emotional, and even spiritual process of making a big shift in your career.

Hope is a Type 2 on the Enneagram (also known as "The Helper"), so she's very familiar with what it's like to pay constant attention to the needs, desires, and voices of others-- to the point where you risk losing touch with your own inner voice and wisdom.

Hope is a life coach, a part-time Physician's Assistant, and the podcast host of Recharting Your Life with Hope, which helps women move from deep dissatisfaction in their career/ life to a more satisfying job or even a dream business. (In fact, I was actually a guest on her podcast twice -- discussing my prior business in episode #30 and my current astrology practice in episode #116.)

In this episode we discuss:

• Hope's unexpected and honest reaction to her first Astrology reading ever
• How culture and environment encouraged Hope to disconnect from her inner voice
• Her personal journey from being in denial of her true feelings and longings, to a slow-growing awareness of her discontentment, and finally, to creating a more fulfilling career
• Why following curiosity and joy thrusts you forward in your career, even if there's no clear path and no guarantees
• How to trust the process of career transformation despite a sense of urgency for change
• What surprises Hope most after interviewing so many people about making a career change
• Distinguishing between the voice of your Inner Wise Woman vs. Internal Manager
• How your soul speaks to you through your body
• Tips for empaths and gentle souls who want to make a major life shift

Hot damn, do I have a juicy episode for you today! This one has been one of my favorites to record because it was so fun and powerful. 

Today I'm interviewing Kelsie Wilhoit, a mentor for Type 9s on the Enneagram and the hilarious and insightful genius behind the popular Instagram account @Healthy9Club. She serves Type 9s in such a uniquely helpful and entertaining way, and you'll see from our conversation that there is so much more to her than even her brilliant online memes could ever communicate.

Here are a few things Kelsie and I talk about:

• Allowing other people to have, and express, BIG emotions rather than trying to water their emotions down in order to make ourselves more comfortable.
  
  
• Re-parenting ourselves with compassion, especially around those "negative", messy, or inconvenient feelings.
  
  
• How "Best Friend Journaling" can help with self-compassion during the ups and downs of life. (It's such a great journaling technique-- on behalf of Kelsie, you're welcome.)
  
  
• The biggest takeaways from her first-time ever astrology reading, which she did with yours truly.
  
  
• The story behind the wild success of her insightful, helpful, and hilarious Instagram page @Healthy9Club. 
  
  
• What has surprised her most - and what's challenged her most - about being the creator and leader of her online community.
  
  
• How she made a huge pivot in her career by being self-aware, being honest with herself, and honoring the wisdom of her inner knowing.
  
  
• Her new course  for Enneagram Type 9s 

Kelsie's online course for Enneagram Type 9s is available for purchase NOW and starts in June! It's in a 'soft launch' phase through the rest of May 2022. You can grab it at a special soft launch price ($134 instead of $276), and it'll be the one and only chance you can experience the course in a live setting rather than pre-recorded. Check out her Instagram stories for registration info.

Hey, all! This is part 2 of my conversation with Caryn Berley-- a life coach. certified Enneagram teacher, self-proclaimed paradigm shifter, and fellow Type 9. 

Even if you're already familiar with the Enneagram (a powerful tool for personal and spiritual growth,  self-understanding, and understanding others), this episode will blow you away because of how Caryn approaches the system.

Cary and I talk about:

• Using the Enneagram with compassion vs. with judgment
• Learning about the Enneagram vs. working with it
• The Enneagram symbol and its meaning
• Examining the false split and defense system that occurs for each type

Caryn's podcast: The Enneagram Typecast

Unfortunately, I couldn't title this episode "OMG, I'm such a fangirl of Caryn Berley, someone pinch me!" But maybe I should have.

Today's episode is a deeply vulnerable and philosophical fireside chat with the brilliant Life Coach and Enneagram Teacher, Caryn Berley. 

This episode is divided into two parts. In this first part we discuss:

• an extrovert's expanded definition of what it means to be a 'gentle soul'.
• who we are independent of the presence of others.
• takeaways from Caryn's recent astrological birth chart reading by yours truly.
• challenges around developing discipline, structure, and boundaries.
• what it feels like to cry in front of others, be vulnerable, and essentially ask others to hold space for the innermost parts of you.

Part 2 of this episode will cover the Enneagram and is scheduled to be released on 5/3/22.

Don't forget to mark your calendar for Choose Yourself: a free 5-day online group journaling experience for women who wish to prioritize their well-being and reclaim who they were before adulthood inundated them with endless to-do list items and impossible cultural expectations. Join my mailing list for more info or DM me on Instagram.
