Today we get to learn from Tammy Leininger all about Enneagram Fives! 

Type 5 is known as “The Observer” or “The Researcher.”  Fives are logical, emotionally detached, and investigative. They love having more and more knowledge about interesting topics.

Tammy walks us through the Type Five core fears of being incompetent and having her energy depleted.  Then the Type Five core desire of being knowledgable, capable, and competent. 

'Having the answers' is important for Fives; Tammy talks about what that's like for her as a mental health counselor.

Tammy loves to guide women in making changes to experience more growth, confidence, and peace as a mental health counselor and coach. 

For more with Tammy, check out episode #15 - the withdrawn stance. Tammy represents Type 5 in a panel of the withdrawn numbers: 4, 5, and 9.

My awesome Enneagram Four guest is Michaela Elizabeth! 

Type 4 is known as “The Individualist” or “The Romantic.”  Fours are authentic, emotional, unique, and want to find deep meaning in their lives and in the world.

Michaela tells us about the Type Four core fears of being ordinary, mundane, or insignificant.  I enjoyed what she shared about many Type Fours' love for storytelling - this conversation taught me a lot about Enneagram Four's communication style.

Enneagram Four's core desire is to be special, unique, and to have a significant identity. 

Michaela Elizabeth is a Certified Enneagram Coach, a writer, and the host of Your Story Matters Podcast.

Listen in for a great conversation with Pastor Becky Crain all about Enneagram Threes.

Type 3 is known as “The Performer” or “The Achiever.”  Threes are ambitious, self-assured, and adaptable. They're motivated by a desire to prove their worth through many accomplishments and achievements. 

Becky tells a hilarious story about how she decided to, and then did, win over the dentist.  The story speaks to the 3 core desire to look attractive and competent in any situation.  Becky also tells us about her journey learning to accept vulnerability as a key part of human relationships.

What in the world is the Enneagram?!?!

Welcome to Enneagram 101 — your beginner-friendly series on the 9 types, what they mean, and why they matter. 🌿

In this kickoff episode, I'm walking you through the big question: What is the Enneagram, really? Where did it come from, why does it resonate so deeply for some, and why does it feel a little weird to others? 🧐💚

I’ll share:
 🌱 How the Enneagram helped me go from “I guess I’m good at math?” to actually understanding my strengths, patterns, and relationships
 📚 The difference between the Enneagram and other personality tools like Myers-Briggs or DISC
 🔉 Why the Enneagram is all about motivation, not behavior
🌼 A short intro to all 9 types — including core fears, desires, and focus of attention
🎧 What’s coming next in this series

If you're brand new to the Enneagram, this episode is a perfect starting point.  If you're already familiar with Enneagram, maybe you'll learn something new from this episode.

 The bottom line - the Enneagram can help us understand ourselves and have way better relationships 🥂

Jeff Cook joins me to talk about his brand new Enneagram book, “Around the Circle: An Enneagram Book.”

The book asks nine key questions, like “What do I want?” and “How do I solve my problems?”  The authors go around the circle, answering each question for all nine Enneagram types.

The Around the Circle podcast has been around since 2019, hosted by Jeff Cook and Tj Wilson. They’ve compiled their insights from years of studying and podcasting into this debut book (they have four more books planned for the series).

Jeff Cook is a longtime professor of philosophy and the author of three books exploring ethics and personal growth. He taught virtue, existentialism, postmodernity and philosophy of religion for over a decade at the University of Northern Colorado and currently co-hosts a handful of Enneagram podcast, including "Around the Circle," "Start Here," and "Movie Typing."

Jeff lives in Greeley, Colorado with his wife and their two cheagles dogs.

📚 Here are all 9 questions from the book:

1. Who am I?

2. What do I want most?

3. How do I get what I want?

4. Where do I struggle most?

5. What are the biggest obstacles that I have?

6. How do I connect with people?

7. How do I solve problems?

8. How do I see the world?

9. What are my gifts?
