The journey of an Enneagram Two reveals a fascinating paradox – an extraordinary capacity to sense others' needs paired with a profound disconnection from one's own. This conversation with Molly Knutson-Keller takes us deep into the world of "The Helper," where we discover how mirror neurons create heightened empathy while simultaneously masking personal needs. Molly shares her winding path to discovering her true type, revealing how even Enneagram experts sometimes misidentify themselves before finding clarity through the subtypes. Her candid reflections on the Two's experience illuminate both the beautiful gifts and challenging patterns that shape her relationships. From creating dependency through helpfulness to struggling with unexpressed resentment, Molly articulates the Two's inner landscape with remarkable clarity. The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as Molly discusses rejection sensitivity and her personal journey toward authenticity. The transformative question "What do I want? What do I need?" becomes a powerful mantra for Twos seeking to reconnect with themselves. Through real-life examples, including a beautifully honest moment between the podcast host and Molly about a professional pause that triggered feelings of rejection, we witness how the Enneagram framework creates space for understanding and repair in relationships. As a life coach, Molly brings her Two energy into creating sacred, safe spaces for clients, demonstrating how the Helper's natural gifts can be channeled into meaningful work. Her brave exploration of new healing modalities, including psychedelic assisted therapy, showcases how Twos can expand their capacity for service while honoring ancient wisdom traditions. Whether you're a Two seeking to understand yourself better or someone who loves a Two in your life, this conversation offers invaluable insights into navigating relationships with greater authenticity, balancing giving with receiving, and finding true worth beyond helping others. Listen now to discover how coming home to yourself is not a destination but "a daily practice of listening inward."

What if the key to saving your relationship isn't trying harder, but seeing deeper? Relationship psychologist Tracy Baker-Lawrence reveals how our unconscious patterns can either destroy or transform our closest connections.

After witnessing countless couples on the brink of divorce after decades together, Tracy developed the DNA method – a powerful framework that examines each couple's unique dynamics, neurobiology, and attention patterns. This approach helps partners understand what's really happening beneath surface behaviors that trigger conflict. As Tracy explains, "Two good hearts in the room, but they start to story... they misunderstand differences and then expect their partner to meet needs they can't even articulate."

The conversation explores how our developmental pathways (what many call Enneagram types) interact with attachment wounds to create predictable relationship challenges. Tracy shares a fascinating example of Four and Nine patterns during stress – how the Four's emotional expression triggers the Nine's withdrawal, which feels like rejection to the Four, creating a painful cycle neither can break without understanding these underlying patterns.

Most compelling is Tracy's collaboration with Dr. Dan Siegel on developing a scientific framework that integrates temperament, attachment, and personality. This groundbreaking work explains how our earliest adaptations for survival often become the very blocks preventing authentic connection in adulthood. For anyone who's felt chronically misunderstood or confused by their partner's reactions, this episode offers a profound map to greater compassion and clearer communication.

Listen now and gain insights that could transform how you see yourself, your partner, and the beautiful complexity of human connection. Your journey toward wholeness begins with understanding.
