The Enneagram Holiday Edition
December 04, 2022 16:11 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MBInstead of focusing on the particular Enneagram types I want to talk a little about the Lower Level of all of numbers. What happens when we are trapped in habitual patterns of thinking and even trauma that has never been dealt with? Should we start with a song or two? Oh the weather outside is frightful but ….that’s NOTHING compared to the STORM that’s happening inside!! Or….Oh there’s no place like Home for the Holidays….WHERE EVERYONE IS ON EDGE! I attended a class last week that w...

November 22, 2022 13:00 - 54 minutes - 35.3 MB“Now is when all your experience pairs with possibility. That’s why these years are your Power Years™. I love that quote from Sara Smeaton, creator of The Power Years™ Passport, The Midlife Manifesto and a wealth of wonderful resources and insight for women entering and traversing Midlife. Sara says..." Our ageist society trains us to fight getting older and to believe ‘all of the good times are behind me’. I think this is so wrong on so many levels – and here’s why: These are the Power ...

November 15, 2022 13:00 - 21 minutes - 13.9 MBType 1s - They already carry the core FEAR of Being wrong, bad, inappropriate or Immoral They ARMOR UP by thinking….It’s not okay to make mistakes therefore.....I must strive to follow the rules, be responsible and catch my mistakes before others do. It’s the only way I’ll be safe and loved. Type 2s They already carry the core FEAR of Being unloved, unwanted, needy They ARMOR UP by thinking- People depend on me for help. I will earn the love and appreciation of others through acts of ...
Hélène Stelian Empowering Women In Midlife
November 07, 2022 13:15 - 54 minutes - 36.1 MBWomen in Midlife already know about change! There are conversations everywhere you look about transformation and change. But the conversations mostly discuss what we need to change FROM!! What do we do when things change and we don’t know what they’re changing TO? We may even be pretty sure what we’re changing FROM but sometimes the change TO is a big mystery. Hélène Stelian is helping women to THRIVE in midlife and take some of the mystery out of the change. Hélène is the Midlife Mentor wit...
A New Direction - The Enneagram and Midlife
August 30, 2022 16:55 - 24 minutes - 25.8 MBMidlife Metamorphosis - A Revolution of Spirit I've taken a refined direction...a place I feel 'at home'. Carl Jung says..."The first half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the second half is going inward and letting go of it." For those of us who have lived long enough to form our story, or ego-story, the question is, as we transition to new phases of life...why must we let it go if we've worked so hard to create it? What is its purpose? And how can we let it go if we aren't...

Gracious Expectations with Shantris Fondren Enneagram 5
March 08, 2022 19:59 - 39 minutes - 57.3 MBHow do you use your understanding of the Enneagram with people in your life without saying the word ‘enneagram’ ? Shantris shares the beauty of simply being aware of the energy of other people to give them support in the ways they need it and, as she says...holding space with "Gracious Expectations." Shantris is a trauma and Enneagram-informed postpartum doula and parent educator. She is also an Operations professional primarily providing financial, administrative, and organizational supp...
Deep Listening Type 5
December 08, 2021 13:00 - 11 minutes - 18.2 MBLike many terms of phrases that have been used with the Enneagram for decades, recently we have begun to expand on the original ones - not change their core meaning but dig a little deeper into the words themselves. So what if I restated the original childhood message for type 5s in this way…. “It’s not ok to let your guard down because you won’t be able to handle things competently.” If you’re a type 5 or you love a type 5…does that hit differently? Let’s add a little more complexit...
Deep Listening Enneagram Type 4
August 26, 2021 12:00 - 9 minutes - 15.8 MBToday, let’s look at the childhood message for type 4: It almost seems impossible to think of a child hearing these words and the truth is….these exact words were most likely, never spoken but somehow the message was received that “It’s not ok to be too functional or too happy.” Take just a few seconds to FEEL that deep inside. Imagine how that feels….I CAN’T BE TOO HAPPY. I Can’t DO too much…Too much…..Too happy. What creates this feeling of having to be less than you are? That if any...
Deep Listening For Enneagram Type 3
July 29, 2021 12:30 - 5 minutes - 8.59 MBWho doesn’t love being applauded for a job well done? And which of us as parents or adults don’t love applauding the young - sometimes literally clapping after a performance? That’s natural and it’s necessary to encourage achievement. This is part of life…competition, endurance, challenge and success. But when the trophy doesn’t come, when the grades fall, when the job is lost and success is no where to be seen…when the applause has stopped…..what does the voice inside say? Today, if you a...
Deep Listening Enneagram Type 2
July 22, 2021 12:00 - 6 minutes - 10.2 MBWhat was the childhood message for enneagram type 2s? It was……“It’s not ok to have your own needs.” How did that message get embedded in the unconscious mind of a young type 2? Every childhood is different and every child interprets their experiences differently. Each of us has a filter through which we understand the world around us. But young type 2s processed that early data and concluded: “I’ll be loved if I sacrifice my own needs for the needs of others.” So Their self-love became con...
Deep Listening For Enneagram Type 1
July 15, 2021 18:09 - 5 minutes - 8.9 MBWhat is Deep Listening? It comes from the teachings of Buddhist Monk ticht nacht hahn. He says Deep Listening (or Compassionate Listening) is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. ... You just listen with compassion and help him to suffer less. Take a few seconds to feel the power of those words….to empty their heart so they can suffer less. Now….feel the shift when we say…”To ...
Recalculating
July 07, 2021 12:00 - 15 minutes - 22.9 MBWhat do we do? What happens when you don’t know where you want to be but you just know you don’t want to be where you are? My friend, Professional Business Coach, John Alan Turner, says….“It’s not enough to know where you don’t want to be. You have to know where you're going.” I have been PASSIONATE about the Enneagram for many, many years. 12 to be exact. Do I know all there is to know about the it after all these years? Not remotely….WHO DOES? No one - it’s a life time of unfolding int...
The Deceitfulness of Good Conclusion
June 04, 2021 16:25 - 41 minutes - 57.8 MBThe Passion for For type 1s is ANGER. Type 1s are often called the Reformers and hold themselves to very high standards which is a good quality, right? SO…the deceitfulness of the passions is that it seems GOOD to be conscientious and ethical, with a strong sense of right and wrong. And being ANGRY goes against what seems to be GOOD. So they resist being angry. And when others don’t seem to hold the same standards of goodness then that anger that they resist builds. But 1s are even harder on...
Deceitfulness of Good - Part 3
May 26, 2021 13:45 - 37 minutes - 51.4 MBAs we continue to look at the deceitfulness of good through the enneagram perspectives we see how the passion, which comes from the latin word 'passeo' which means 'to suffer', of each type is tied to an attempt to resist the suffering by doing good. But, in the words of Carl Jung, what you resist not only persists, but will grow in size. When we resist confronting what makes us suffer it will only lead to deeper suffering, loss of self love and loss of relationships. In this episode we ...
The Deceitfulness of Good - Part II
May 19, 2021 12:00 - 34 minutes - 47.5 MB"What we resist not only persists, but will grow in size." ~ Carl Jung There are a couple of different words for what each Enneagram type resists - but typically they are referred to as The Passion or The Vice. So when I first began hearing about the Passions I was confused because Passion sounded good - like something you’re really good at or something you really love. But, in this context Passion comes from the Latin word Passio which meas TO SUFFER. I absolutely prefer PASSION over VICE...
Joel McKerrow, HUMAN and Enneagram 3
May 13, 2021 11:00 - 39 minutes - 59.1 MBMy guest today is performance poet, Joel McKerrow. To try and describe what that means and what he does in a these show notes would be like asking me to describe what crème brûlée taste like. I can’t. You must experience it.

Through the visual arts, the zoological, the poetic and the musical, HUMAN is an exploration of the drive that makes us...well...human. With a philosophical base in the identity fra...

May 06, 2021 16:45 - 30 minutes - 43.3 MBWe return to the podcast world today in a new series. The topic is the Deceitfulness of Good. We’re approaching this subject from multiple perspectives. Denée will be coming form the 9 perspectives of the Enneagram and Doug will be coming from theology and world religion using the Spiral. The human being is so complex in our make up. We are the sum total of many different elements and life conditions. All of us experience transformation in some way every day of our lives. The past year ha...
The Unworkable
March 10, 2021 19:31 - 21 minutes - 23.6 MBCourage is knowing it might hurt and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same. And that’s why life is hard. When we are younger and trying to figure out how to….. *Survive in the world *Find our voice in the world *Learn what love is *Discover our place in the collectives in which we live….we test what parts of the expressions of our personality work and don’t work. It’s a subconscious action that starts in early childhood. *I cry…I get fed. *I perform…I get applause. *I give you my...
An Influencer That Matters
February 04, 2021 15:00 - 18 minutes - 14.8 MBI think we can all agree that our words matter. They can harm or help. They can inspire or destroy. What you say today isn’t confined to this moment in time. We may not be Instagram Influencers but we are absolutely influencing more than we realize. I referenced my latest blog post and you can read it here: The Accidental Mentor I also quoted Kaylee Friedman, M.A., LAC IG @Kayleerosetherapy #Enneagram, #Influencer, #InstagramInfluencer #SelfDevelopment, #Therapy, #Healers, #Psycho...
I Accidentally Won A Radio Contest
January 28, 2021 15:53 - 17 minutes - 13.5 MBI think the Universe told me to take a time out or, as my granddaughter once said, "I'm just going to sit in this chair and think about it." She was three and who knows what she needed to sit and think about but for a lot of us...we had a lot to think about during this long, long year of the Pandemic. I could not bring myself to do much podcasting until now. It's time to get back to doing what I love and I love podcasting! But I love a lot of things and another one of them is writing so let ...

Crying - It's Not Just For The Weak
September 23, 2020 17:00 - 12 minutes - 13.9 MBWe've all heard the call to action..."Check on your strong friends" and while that is an absolutely great thing to do, today I'd like to encourage you to check on all your friends. And not just friends you hang out with but maybe even people you follow on social media. We can be each other's life support even if we don't even get to spend a day together in person. We ARE connected. But we are hurting...every single one of us at some point are hurting and struggling. Your genuine message - ju...

Quicksand
August 12, 2020 13:00 - 15 minutes - 22.8 MBMy word for 2020 is Quicksand. I feel like I’ve been stuck and just trying to keep my head above the muck and breath while simultaneously struggling to get out and RUN away. But am I really stuck? An Enneagram Type 7’s Basic fear is of being TRAPPED. Granted this usually refers to being trapped in emotional pain but that feeling of NO WAY OUT can cause me to RUN or shut down. And when a 7 shuts down it can be scary. So, since I’ve had NOTHING BUT TIME I’ve done a lot of thinking. Am I real...
Gratitude with Catherine Robertson
March 31, 2020 17:26 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBAt the time of this podcast release we are experiencing a global pandemic with the Corona Virus but Catherine and I recorded weeks before any of us knew what was happening. Now, the term 'social distancing' has become a part of our daily vocabulary. Daily news briefings of the number of cases worldwide and the number of deaths has left many paralyzed by the unknown. Fear is evident on social media. Could Gratitude have any place in our minds today? I say YES... now is precisely the time for ...

Evolution of Love pt. 3
March 10, 2020 15:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MBAs Doug and I wrap up this section we get more into our personal stories and how those 'unworkable' moments forced us to question our long standing patterns of behavior, reactions, defenses, and beliefs. No growth comes without challenge, and these are the times when descending into lower levels of health can occur without observing and questioning. It's our awareness that gives us the choice to withdraw the boundaries or expand them opening us to know a deeper love and freedom. The journ...
Evolution of Love pt. 2
March 04, 2020 17:12 - 31 minutes - 28.4 MBA person's Level of Development (the SPIRAL) is the framework with which they understand the world. Their Level of Health within their Enneagram Type is the way in which they are present within their WORLDVIEW. **One’s level of Development does not equate with one’s level of Health - in other words - you can be at any level on the Spiral and be healthy or unhealthy in your Enneagram type. Your NUMBER doesn’t change but your worldview can.**! The manifestation of our type is our desire to...
Evolution of Love pt. 1
February 25, 2020 18:38 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBThis is part 1 of a 3-part series which is a recording of a presentation Doug and I did for the Georgia Chapter of the International Enneagram Association. Doug and I knew early in our blended family relationship that we needed TOOLS to build this new family. So we chose to go to a therapist who could help us — not to give us all the answers for every situation that might arise but to give us the tools to face the inevitable changes that would happen — or a map that would help us see “YOU ...
Practicing Joy Through the Enneagram
February 10, 2020 16:29 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBOne of the challenges of being an Enneagram type 7 is the desire to act on all the ideas we have bombarding our minds and trust me, as a type 7 myself, they just keep coming! Part of the growth process of this type, as Jaime says, is realizing we don't have to act on every idea and it's ok to start something and then move on. This is part of the growth path of us all but understanding the way our minds work and then accepting that this is how we are wired is a necessary step. As Jaime says,...

Loving All Your Numbers
January 29, 2020 17:00 - 14 minutes - 13.7 MBI started this podcast, Love Thy Number, to help us truly embrace the gift of who we are and, specifically, our Enneagram number. But what are the other numbers that have such a hold on our lives? What numbers do we attach to that either validate us or bring us anxiety? Is it the number on the scales? Our age? The size of our paycheck? The number of followers on social media? How many likes? Do you believe that your one life, your one story has the ability...

Your Story Needs to be Told
December 17, 2019 17:55 - 15 minutes - 14.6 MBI’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what my GOAL is for this podcast. I mean, that’s probably something someone gifted with amazing organizational skills would have mapped out before even starting a podcast. I, however, am not that person. What I DO BELIEVE I’m good at is loving people and finding joy in the stories of our lives. So while I am as passionate about the Enneagram as I ever was… even more so as I continue to learn. But I’d like to take this podcast in a different directio...
Enneagram, Spiral Dynamics, and Levels of Health
December 10, 2019 17:19 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MBLet's talk about the movies! Specifically, the cult classic, Napoleon Dynamite, and my favorite character, Uncle Rico. It’s hard when you believe life would have worked out perfectly ‘if only’. When you believe that had you not made that one poor choice or dropped that football pass you would have set your life on a path to everlasting happiness. And so, we live with the lie that we were denied all the privileges of a ‘good life’ because we already set our entire course with that moment in...
The Enneagram and The Work of Byron Katie
December 04, 2019 19:06 - 21 minutes - 19.4 MBThe Work of Byron Katie is a way of identifying and questioning any stressful thought. It consists of four questions and a turn around. Question 1: Is it true? Question 2: Can you absolutely know it's true? Question 3: How do you react — what happens — when you believe that thought? Question 4: Who would you be without the thought? Turn the Thought Around For the sake of this conversation as it relates to the Enneagram I encourage each of us to question our thoughts about ourselve...

YES... she's on the podcast! So, who is she? Well, I called her Miss Peach. My kids called her their worst nightmare! My husband wasn't sure who he had actually married when he first met her. She usually wore a black lace d...
The Enneagram and the Roles We Play
November 12, 2019 21:57 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MBIn Enneagram conversations we talk a lot about the ego but what if you have an alter-ego? I have one!

Change the Burnt Out Bulb Already
November 06, 2019 15:51 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBHow many therapists does it take to change a light bulb? One…but the light bulb really has to want to change. **Crickets chirping** HA! I’m making a ridiculous confession. I let a light bulb in my closet stay burnt out for about a year before I decided enough was enough. A year. I simply adjusted my eye sight and fumbled around when necessary. What I discovered when I finally changed that bulb was…awful and wonderful. How long should we walk around in the darkness, avoiding the inevit...
