Erin (2), Christel (6), and Elyse (1) talk about what it's like to be in the compliant/dependent stance!

Ever-aware of other peoples' rules or expectations... hyper focused on the current surrounding environment, whether that's about people, problems, or danger... overly concerned with others' needs..and more!  

Make sure to listen to the previous  few episodes about the other stances:  Assertive (3,7,8) and Withdrawn (4,5,9).

Listen in on this conversation about the Assertive Stance. It's full of wisdom and insights from Jessica (4), Tammy (5), and Katie (9).

The Enneagram Withdrawn Types (4, 5, and 9) tend to move inward to process their thoughts and emotions before engaging with the world. They often seek space to recharge, reflect deeply, or preserve their inner peace, sometimes appearing distant or detached to others.  Their orientation to time is the past.

Jessica, Tammy, and Katie share all about what it's like to be in the Withdrawn Stance.

Part 2 of this conversation.

Listen in on this fun, high-energy conversation about the Assertive Stance.

The Enneagram assertive stance (Types 3, 7, and 8) is characterized by a forward-moving, action-oriented approach to life, often focused on achieving goals, seeking excitement, or asserting control. These types tend to rely on their own energy and drive to shape their circumstances, sometimes overlooking emotional or relational nuances in the process.

Amanda (Type 3), Caleb (Type 7), and Kathleen (Type 8) share all about what it's like to be in the Assertive Stance.

This is a 300-level episode all about Instincts and Subtypes. If you’ve already been studying the Enneagram for awhile, this is a great next step for your learning. 

I am joined by Wendy Busby, Certified Enneagram Coach and Enneagram Type 4.

Wendy explains how the three instincts of Self-preservation, Social, and Sexual play out in our lives and affect our dominant Enneagram types.

Wendy, with her extensive knowledge, guides us through the intricacies of self-preservation, social, and sexual instincts, sharing how these unconscious survival strategies shape behaviors and perceptions.

Wendy has a podcast series that goes into depth about the subtypes of each number! Listen to her podcast here.
