If you haven't met Melissa Radke yet, then you are in for a real treat! Author, star of the new USA reality show The Radkes, wife and mother of 2, and enneagram 7, Melissa joins Suzanne on the show today.

One of the best parts of the conversation is hearing about when and how Melissa decided she was "worth the work". Like Melissa, have you ever been told you're "just too much"? They also discuss dealing with grief, they talk about faith, and about growing older.

Enjoy the podcast and after listening be sure to visit melissaradke.com to learn more about Melissa, her family, the show, and her books!

Ann and Caroline have been on a Journey that has included the Enneagram for 7 years now after they attended Suzanne's workshops back in 2012. A lot of people think that 4s and 8s have much in common, and many believe that they are soooooo different. This podcast addresses both sides and talks about how their relationship has evolved as they've grown. What are the differences in parenting young children and adult children? And though he didn't know it, Loren, Ann's husband and Caroline's father, an enneagram 9, gets caught in the conversation's cross hairs as well! 

There is so much gold from both the parent and daughter angle, about both the aggressive and withdrawing stance, someone who deals so much with shame and someone who deals often with anger. I hope you, and your family and friends can glean as much from it as I did!

What is your Repressed Center? Thinking? Feeling? Doing?

Suzanne explains how 1s, 2s, and 6s are Thinking Repressed. How 4s, 5s, and 9s are Doing Repressed. And, how 3s, 7s, and 8s are Feeling Repressed. Remember, "Repressed" can mean many different things for each number in each Stance! People often push back on this topic, but today's episode will help to clear things up, and give us all some tools moving forward.

Enneagram 4, Emily Freeman, joins Suzanne to talk about discernment and the process of doing The Next Right Thing, which is the title of her newest book and her incredibly wonderful podcast.

Another episode where Suzanne sets out to answer some of your Enneagram Questions!

Today's questions were submitted through theenneagramjourney.org and on Instagram @suzannestabile. Thank you to everyone who submits questions, this is Suzanne's absolute favorite way to teach!

You probably know Jeremy and Audrey from the hit T.V. show Little People Big World, but as we discuss in this conversation, that isn't what defines them. You may also have read their new book, A Love Letter Life, but that doesn't define their future either! Jeremy, an Enneagram 9, past oriented and an immovable object, and Audrey, Enneagram 8, future oriented and an unstoppable force talk about their relationship, what they are doing to grow a healthy loving life together, and how they're encouraging others to do the same.

This is a good one!
