Hey, hey! Welcome to the very first episode of The Enneagram Edge. If you’ve been riding with me for a while, you might’ve noticed the name change—and yeah, I cringed a little saying “rebrand,” but this shift was necessary. This isn’t just a podcast, it’s a revolution. We’re diving into the real, raw, and relentless journey of becoming a legend. No fluff, no surface-level talk—this is where we use the Enneagram as a weapon of transformation, not just information.What You’ll Get in This Episode:
This episode is all about setting the tone for what’s to come. I’m here to help you stop playing small, stop hiding behind your Enneagram type, and start using it to lead, love, and live like a damn legend.

Here’s what we cover:

• Why the world doesn’t need more people who just know their Enneagram type—it needs people who know how to wield it.
• How the Enneagram is your ultimate power tool for transformation, not just a cute personality test.
• My personal journey with the Enneagram—from resistance to mastery—and how it saved my life, my relationships, and my legacy.
• Why self-awareness isn’t enough—it’s about leveraging your framework for self-mastery.
• The importance of understanding your “operating system” and how it impacts your leadership, relationships, and personal growth.

Key Takeaways:

1. The Enneagram as a Scalpel: This tool is like a scalpel in the hands of a master surgeon—it’s precise, powerful, and transformative when used with intention.
2. Stop Hiding Behind Your Type: Legends don’t use their type as an excuse or a shield. They master their wiring, dismantle old survival stories, and reclaim their edge.
3. Integration Over Information: Knowing your type is cute, but embodying your highest expression? That’s where the magic happens. Transformation comes from integration, not just awareness.
4. Your Edge is Your Superpower: Each Enneagram type has unique strengths, but they only become superpowers when they come from a place of love, compassion, and grace—not fear or ego.

Why This Podcast Exists:
I’ve been working with the Enneagram for over a decade, and I’ve seen it all—people using it as a party trick, a justification for staying stuck, or a way to label themselves and others. That’s not what we’re doing here. This podcast is about using the Enneagram to dismantle the cages you’ve been living in and step into your legendary self.What to Expect Moving Forward:

• Deep dives into the real Enneagram framework—no fluff, no BS.
• Strategies to dismantle old operating systems and step into your highest potential.
• Insights into legendary leadership, both at home and in professional teams.
• Personal stories, hard truths, and high standards to help you lead yourself and others with integrity.
• Practical tools to accelerate your transformation and create a legacy that lasts.

“Your edge isn’t something to be polished down—it’s the part of you that was always meant to lead.” Let’s fucking go!

Alright, Legends—this one is raw, real, and straight from the trenches. I’m fresh off wrist reconstruction surgery, and let me tell you, this experience has been a masterclass in surrender, trust, and finding harmony between masculine and feminine energy. If you’ve ever struggled with letting go of control, receiving support, or balancing the “do” with the “be,” this episode is for you.

We’re diving deep into the energetic significance of the right and left sides of the body, how masculine and feminine energy show up in our lives, and what happens when they’re out of harmony. I’m sharing personal stories—from my childhood to my current recovery—that highlight how my dominant masculine energy has both served me and wrecked me. And most importantly, I’m unpacking how leaning into my feminine energy is transforming not just my body, but my relationships, leadership, and life.

This episode is about more than just my journey—it’s about yours. Where are you holding on too tightly? Where are you resisting surrender? And how can you start to trust, allow, and receive in a way that elevates every area of your life? Let’s get into it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The energetic significance of the right (masculine) and left (feminine) sides of the body—and what your pain might be telling you.
• How dominant masculine energy can become armor that keeps out both the bad and the good.
• Why surrendering to feminine energy is the key to true power, creativity, and connection.
• Personal stories of how my Enneagram 8 wiring and childhood conditioning shaped my relationship with control and independence.
• Practical steps to start balancing your masculine and feminine energy for a more harmonious, impactful life.

Key Takeaways:

1. The Body Never Lies: Physical pain often mirrors emotional and energetic imbalances. My right wrist (masculine energy) breakdown was a wake-up call to address my relationship with control, action, and trust.
2. Masculine vs. Feminine Energy: Masculine energy is about action, control, and willpower. Feminine energy is about intuition, surrender, and flow. Both are essential, but harmony is key.
3. Surrender is Strength: True power lies in flexibility, not force. Strength is found in letting go, not just holding on.
4. Armor Keeps Out the Good: The walls we build to protect ourselves also block connection, intimacy, and growth and the magic that happens when we allow ourselves to receive.

Practical Tools for Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energy:

• Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to where you’re feeling pain or tension. Is it on your right (masculine) or left (feminine) side? What might that be telling you about your energy balance?
• Practice Surrender: Start small—let someone help you with something you’d normally do yourself. Notice how it feels to receive without guilt or resistance.
• Create Space for Stillness: Stillness isn’t weakness. It’s where intuition, creativity, and healing live. Carve out time to just be.
• Use the Enneagram as a Guide: Your Enneagram type can reveal your natural tendencies toward masculine or feminine energy and help you identify where you might need to lean into the other.

Quote of the Episode:
"True power lies in flexibility, not force. Strength is found in letting go, not just holding on."Call to Action:

If this episode resonated with you, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with someone who needs to hear this message. And I want to hear from YOU—what’s landing for you? Slide into my DMs on Instagram (@tracy_omalley) or leave a review. Let’s rise together.

This is your time to step into harmony, trust, and true power. Let’s loosen the grip, lean into our feminine energy, and create the legendary lives we were born to lead. You’ve got this.

Our special guest, Tonya Raybon, joins us to discuss her experience with the Enneagram. Tonya has worked extensively with me, participating in retreats, one-on-one sessions, and couple's workshops. She shares her insights as a social Enneagram Type 2, also known as "The Helper," and we explore the nuances of her tri-type, 2-6-8, which is referred to as "The Rescuer."

Throughout the episode, we tackle the challenges of setting boundaries, especially for Enneagram Type 2s who are naturally inclined to say "yes" and accommodate others. We emphasize the importance of pausing before committing to tasks and asking oneself if the action would still be a "yes" even without external appreciation or reciprocation.

Tonya and I also discuss strategies for understanding and interacting with loved ones through the lens of the Enneagram. We highlight the significance of the three centers of intelligence (instinctual, feeling, and thinking) and how recognizing these can improve communication and relationships within families, including with children and grandchildren.

Finally, we touch on Tonya's podcast, "Perfectly Blended," which focuses on the complexities of blended family life and the continuous blending of roles that women often navigate.

Have you ever felt like you're constantly striving to check off boxes in your personal development journey?
Do you find yourself thinking, "When I do this, when I have that, or when I go here, then I'll be happy and fulfilled?"
When it comes to personal development, we can become fixated on achieving certain milestones, as if they will provide us with the ultimate sense of fulfillment and happiness.
But the truth is, personal growth is not about reaching a specific destination. It's an ongoing journey that requires a continuous daily practice of tending to our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being.
And neglecting this maintenance can set us back.
So how can you prioritize the maintenance of your spiritual condition, so you are better equipped to handle the challenges in all aspects of your life to become the best version of yourself?
Today, on "Lead With The Enneagram," I will help you discover the Enneagram as a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery. I'll explain why daily maintenance is crucial to building and maintaining spiritual fitness and condition.
Listen in as I walk you through how the Enneagram can be used as a guide to help you understand yourself as you identify patterns and work towards cultivating strength, resilience, and tenacity to navigate through difficult times.
The process of healing and personal growth can be uncomfortable, as digging through the rubble of our past traumas is necessary to make progress. But you don't have to do it alone. I offer personalized Enneagram assessments, 90-minute deep dives, and leadership/team workshops to help people integrate this powerful tool into their personal and professional lives. Find out more at TracyO'Malley.com in the work with me section.
What You Will Learn
Why to be the best version of ourselves we need to understand that personal growth is a never-ending journey
How the Enneagram can help us understand our motivations and behavior to guide our personal growth journey.
Why it's important to remember that the excavation process of personal growth happens one brick at a time
Why consistent maintenance of our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being is essential for personal development
Why we need to give ourselves ongoing maintenance and care like we do our cars to help keep us running smoothly and avoid breakdowns or burnout

Are you in a rut?
As we reach the midpoint of February, it's common to feel the weight of our unfulfilled goals for the new year.
You might feel shame, fear, or anxiety, thinking you've fallen short. And the next thing you know, you're in a slump, which can feel very dark and lonely.
But as humans, we all get into a rut.
And for each of you, depending on your Enneagram type, that rut looks a little bit different. And so does what it takes to get out of it, because what works for an Enneagram 8 isn't going to be the same as what works for an Enneagram 4.

And for all you Enneagram 5s out there, it's time to close those browser tabs and hit the running trail to blast through those doldrums. Plus, I’ll share which Enneagram type is most prone to feeling stuck and how they can break through.
Listen in as I walk you through how you can use the power of YOUR Enneagram type to break out of a slump and unlock your full potential!
Are you tired of feeling stuck in a rut and not living up to your full potential? I'd love to help you discover your actual Enneagram type and partner with you on your journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Together, we can help you get on the right path so you can do the things you are here to do. Find out more at TracyO'Malley.com in the work with me section.

"You approach sex from your viewpoint based on your Enneagram type. And where things go sideways is most of the time, we expect our partners to share our perspective and our views."
But there are nine basic ways to view sex, and none is wrong!

Listen in for expert insight and practical advice on using the Enneagram to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your lover to revolutionize how you approach your sex life and create healthier, more satisfying relationships in the bedroom and beyond.

If you feel like you're struggling or need some guidance, I'd love to work with you and your partner to help make your intimate relationship a beautiful and true expression of who you are.

Have you set a personal growth goal, but you're having difficulty reaching it?
The truth is, if you're trying to hit a target, you must know which target you're aiming for.
We all want to improve our relationships, careers, and personal lives, but we often only make changes when things are seriously wrong, or the benefits are clear.
The Enneagram is a valuable tool for personal growth but knowing your Enneagram type doesn't mean you are using the Enneagram framework to its fullest extent.
Getting the most out of the beautiful tool that is the Enneagram requires three things, yet most of us, no matter which Enneagram type we are, try to sidestep the second one, hurrying on our way to the third, which leaves us with change that's only temporary, and holds us back from the growth we truly desire.
So, how can you use ALL the tools of the Enneagram to maximize your personal growth?
Today, we're delving into the three key elements and the one often-overlooked aspect you need to use the Enneagram to unlock your full growth potential.
Listen in as I discuss why the Enneagram is different from other popular assessments like Myers-Briggs and Human Design and why the Enneagram offers a unique perspective on personal growth.
Tune in to understand how committing to all aspects of using the Enneagram effectively will help you finally find the lasting change you've been aiming for.
I'd love to work with you to help you work through the three things you need to use the Enneagram for a more magical life! Find out more at TracyO'Malley.com in the work with me section.

The one thing that most of us try to avoid that would help us use the Enneagram more effectively
How committing to doing the work of part two of learning to use the Enneagram more effectively makes the third part a cakewalk
Understanding "acknowledgment" in the context of the Enneagram
The unique aspects of the Enneagram as compared to Myers-Briggs and Human Design

The power of compassionate (and EFFECTIVE action) in your Enneagram journey

Most of us are wearing many hats.
We're parents and partners, we have our careers and great friendships we want to maintain, and we want growth in all of it while having time to stretch and grow in our own self-awareness.
It. Can. Be. A. Lot.
And things can start to pile up as we strive to balance our multiple roles and responsibilities, especially when we feel like we're all over the place or living our lives on autopilot.
This can negatively affect our personal and professional relationships, energy levels, and even our physical health.
It can also be a recipe for burnout.
So, how can we use the tools of the Enneagram to become a more holistic leader, both personally and professionally?
Today, I'm walking you through how to wear all those different hats in your life gracefully and effectively without changing who you are.
Listen in as I discuss how understanding your Enneagram type can help you make better decisions professionally while forming deeper, lasting relationships and making an impact in all areas of your life.
Tune in to gain valuable insights and strategies on how each Enneagram type can meet themselves with compassion, manage burnout, and lead a more fulfilling life filled with uncompromising self-growth.
I'd love to work with you to help you become a more holistic leader in every aspect of your life. Find out more at Tracy O'Malley.com in the work with me section.

I resisted putting the word Enneagram in the title of this podcast because I like flying under the radar. But I want to make a bigger impact in 2023, so I changed the name to ‘Lead with the Enneagram.’ And just as I anticipated, the haters showed up on Day One.
As an Enneagram 8, my first instinct was to fight. But because I spent the last decade integrating the Enneagram into my life, I made a different choice.
So, what are YOU gonna do when the haters come out to play?
On this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, I explain why resistance appears when we step into our light and how haters can serve as an indication that we’re on the right path.
I explore why stepping into who you are makes people uncomfortable, challenging you to pause and turn inward before you defend yourself against haters.
Listen in to understand how the Enneagram can help you communicate effectively in hard conversations and learn how to protect your energy, stay rooted in who you are, and THRIVE in the face of haters.

We all need support. But we may not know exactly what we need or how to ask for help.
Whether you’re hiring support staff for your team or building new friendships, surrounding yourself with the right people is key to growth.
And knowing your Enneagram type can help you choose the right people.

In this special hotline episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we had the pleasure of speaking with Julie A, a one-on-one Enneagram 9 with a 935 tri-type, also known as the thinker. Julie shared her journey of self-discovery through the Enneagram and how it has impacted her both personally and professionally as a leadership and career coach at a high-level university in Chicago.

We delved into the nuances of being an Enneagram 9, discussing the core emotion of anger and how it often manifests in passive-aggressive behaviors like avoidance and procrastination. Julie opened up about her challenges with confronting anger and conflict, and we explored strategies for nines to develop a healthier relationship with these emotions.

Julie also touched on her experience of grief and how it has led to feelings of sloth, a common struggle for Enneagram 9s when they are disintegrating. We discussed the importance of contrary action and how leveraging the strengths of her one and eight wings can help her navigate through tough times without getting stuck.

A significant revelation for Julie was understanding that her core motivator is freedom, not safety, which she had previously believed. This insight has prompted her to reflect on her career choices and how they align with her need for independence, autonomy, and control.

Lastly, we unpacked Julie's tri-type, the thinker (935), which combines the ambition of a three, the knowledge-seeking nature of a five, and the peacemaking qualities of a nine. This tri-type explains Julie's intellectual approach and her ability to manage situations and relationships effectively.
Throughout the episode, we emphasized the importance of self-awareness and the use of the Enneagram as a tool for personal growth. By understanding our core fears and motives, and by building the muscles of our supporting cast – our wings and growth/stress numbers – we can navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience.

For those looking to understand and support an Enneagram 9 in their life, remember to gently probe beyond their initial "I'm fine" response to truly understand their feelings. And for anyone interested in diving deeper into their Enneagram blueprint, I encourage you to visit my website and explore the resources available.

Most of us believe that we are skilled critical thinkers.
But if we’re being honest, we’re often reacting rather than responding. Leading by default, not by design. Allowing our past trauma or a belief system that no longer serves us to call the shots.
So, how do you know when you’re seeing clearly and when you’re having a breakdown in critical thinking? And how can you use the Enneagram to improve your critical thinking practices?
On this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, I walk you through the centers of intelligence—instinctive, thinking and feeling—and explain how critical thinking requires the use of all three.
I describe how to recognize when your core Enneagram type is triggered and use your Tritype to elevate your critical thinking and respond more effectively.
Listen in for insight on teaching your kids to think critically and learn how to leverage your Enneagram Tritype to accelerate your critical thinking practices and love and lead successfully.
What You Will Learn
How operating from a place of past trauma or a belief system that no longer serves us gets in the way of critical thinking
The 3 Enneagram centers of intelligence—instinctive, thinking and feeling
Why critical thinking requires the use of all 3 centers of intelligence
What happens when leaders operate in their fear and how it blocks critical thinking
How I leverage my Enneagram Tritype 268 to elevate my critical thinking
How to recognize when your core Enneagram type is triggered and use your Tritype to respond more effectively
The value in understanding when your core Enneagram type enables you to see clearly and when it causes a breakdown in critical thinking
Why 2 self-preservation Enneagram 1s might process information very differently
How critical thinking makes it easier to communicate and gives you more energy
What it looks like to use the Enneagram to teach your kids critical thinking

"The best way to lead others is to be able to lead yourself effectively. And next level leadership is understanding yourself and the other person at the same time."
We all love the perks of leading a team. But there's a catch.
Each group we’re a part of is comprised of a diverse range of Enneagram types, each with their own instinctual response to life.
And that's great because each Enneagram type brings its unique skills to the table, meshing to create a successful team.
But it's not without its downside. Some polarity exists within every team. Others may not always get what you bring to the table. Depending on your Enneagram Type (and theirs), they may misconstrue your motivation or misinterpret your communication style causing them to miss the heart in what you say.
Plus, we all have our own level of self-awareness, which can lead to misunderstandings and even reckless words that activate our fear response, and cause breakdowns even in the most successful teams.
So how can we learn to recognize how our energy might be received before we ever walk into a room?
Today, I'm walking through how you can minimize (and leverage) the triggers that show up in leadership using the Enneagram for you and each Enneagram type on every team in your life.
I'll discuss why it’s vital to understand not only who is on your team but also their biggest fears and what might set them off based on their Type, and the triad that they filter their experiences through. Listen in as I share how you can use your Enneagram type and your own self-knowledge to catch your reactions (positive and negative) in every moment so you can be a more successful leader.
I'll walk you through a behind-the-scenes story of how I avoided a (type 8) trigger during a recent Enneagram group training session and the outcome for the entire team involved.
Plus, I'll share a self-awareness practice you can use when you feel triggered to respond effectively to turn the situation a win-win for everyone.
Do you lead a team? You DO, even if it's just in your own home. I'd love to work with you to help you become a more effective AND compassionate leader. Find out more at Tracy O'Malley.com in the work with me section.
What You Will Learn
How our fear response or coping mechanisms are activated
The 3 choices you have as a leader when you are triggered
Why effective leadership means going beyond learning the Enneagram types of the members of your team
The biggest triggers for the Gut Triad (Types 8, 9, & 1)
What triggers Enneagram 2s, 3s, and 4s as members of the Feeling Triad
How to avoid triggering the Thinking Triad (Head Center), which Includes Enneagram 5s, 6s, and 7s The self-awareness practice you can use to respond effectively when you are triggered for a win-win for everyone involved

15 years ago, I thought I was really self-aware. I saw myself clearly and understood how my experiences shaped my behavior.
But in truth, I wasn’t nearly as self-aware as I thought.
And the Enneagram showed me what I was missing. It helped me take my emotional intelligence to the next level.
On this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, I explain how true self-awareness comes from understanding how you respond to triggers and recognizing the impact you have on others.
I explore why blaming, judging and justifying keeps you stuck, challenging you to turn the mirror on yourself when you’re irritated by other people.
Listen in to understand why you can’t have compassion for others when you’re beating yourself up and learn the first steps to developing genuine self-awareness using the Enneagram!

"You can't have all the great parts of your life without polarity; you have to have some contrast. Sometimes the hard things, the endings of things, or the rejuvenation of partnerships is exactly the thing that needs to happen."
Often, the holiday season brings up many of the cracks in the foundation of the most significant partnerships in your life, whether family, romantic, or even business partnerships.
If you are like me, 2022 was very eye-opening personally and professionally, and I recognized that some of the partnerships I had hooked to my trailer weren't working the way I wanted them to. And I had to make some changes.
Today, I'm sharing how the Enneagram can help you better discern whether your partnerships need some tweaking with better communication and more understanding of each other or maybe it's time for some of those relationships to end.
Listen in as I share how you can start this year off on a solid foundation by doing the hard work of looking at your personal and professional relationships so you can accelerate the transformation you need NOW, in the beginning, to set yourself up for more success in 2023.
I do powerful couple and partner Enneagram sessions. I use my Enneagram Blueprint to help you reach a different level of communication and compassion for the person you have chosen to partner with! We'll look at why you're great together and unlock the power of your partnership. Find out more at Tracy O'Malley.com in the work with me section.

When I started this podcast 3 years ago, I was almost afraid to plant my flag as the go-to expert on the Enneagram.
But NOT ANYMORE!
Today, we're ushering in the new year, celebrating the show's third anniversary, and launching into all of it with a BRAND NEW name for the podcast—Leading with the Enneagram.
But before we can venture ahead, we're going to take a little trek back.
Today, I'm sharing a look back at my introduction to the Enneagram when my life was imploding—and I'll be 100% with you—I wanted nothing to do with it.
At that time, I didn't have a system to help me stay rooted in my faith, so when things got hairy, I would go back to what I knew, which was dysfunction.
But the Enneagram gave me some framework so that when I got off track, it brought me right back into my Divine Calling and God's plan for my life.
I'll walk you through my original mistyping and how I learned to communicate with my Type 7 and Type 2 children based on their Enneagram type instead of mine.
Listen in as I share the difference communicating with them in a way that makes them feel seen and understood has made in their lives and our relationships. Plus, I'll share the sweet and sentimental gifts they gave me for Christmas this year that brought it all home.
Diving deeper into the Enneagram starts with being correctly typed. My Enneagram Blueprint can help you use the beautiful tool of the Enneagram to learn more about who YOU are at a soul level, so you can create the life you were meant to live!
What You Will Learn
Where true transformation happens in relationships through the Enneagram
How the Enneagram helped me have compassion for the people who did me wrong (including myself.) How the Enneagram helped me provide my children with emotional connection and emotional regulation
How communicating with others in a way that makes them feel seen, valued, and heard changes everything How to break the generational curses in your life
How the Enneagram has helped me transform
ALL of my relationships How I can help you change your life and your relationships
Why transformation begins with having the right tools

Recently, we celebrated my daughter’s 26th birthday. We have a tradition where I make her a special cake each year. As an Enneagram 7, she doesn’t go for your everyday average birthday cake. She likes things more unique than that.
So, with hours of watching baking show in my arsenal, I set out to make her a grand, unique cake worthy of her Enneagram 7ness.
But, as I got deep into the assembly, there was a problem with the foundation. And things quickly began to crumble.
Have you ever experienced the same thing only with your life? You’re going along just fine, and you think you’re bulletproof, but then one thing happens: rocking your world, and that seems to slide the whole thing off course.
You may have experienced that in 2022 and now you are looking to the new year as one of rebuilding.
So how can you open yourself up to starting over, this time on a more solid foundation?
On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I will walk you through why the same old band-aids of self-help won’t cut it for you if you want to experience REAL, lasting change that catapults you to the next level of who you were meant to be.
Listen in to hear my personal story of how I rebuilt my own life using the tools of the Enneagram and how I can help you get the tools you need to rebuild yours on a solid foundation, primed for growth and all the good things you deserve.
The greatest gift you can give yourself in the new year is a compassionate new level of self-awareness. My Enneagram Blueprint can help you use the beautiful tool of the Enneagram to learn more about who YOU are at a soul level so you can use your unique gifts to create the life you were meant to live and share.
What You Will Learn
Why we so often focus on the fluff instead of the foundation
Why it’s mostly smoke and mirrors in the personal development coaching world
Why the same old band-aids of ‘self-help’ eventually wear thin for those who want real change
The #1 thing you can do to strengthen your level of self-awareness
How the tools of the Enneagram can help you become bulletproof

Here we are, about to kick 2022 to the curb. This is the time of year when we get obsessive. We've galloped through the holidays, and now we're looking toward the next thing—a new calendar filled with blank pages just waiting for us to write the story of 2023.
As you're taking stock of all that 2022 was (or wasn't—I can relate), you might be itching to map out your new year or depending on your Enneagram type maybe the thought of making goals gives you hives.
So how can you set yourself up to make the most of 2023 in a way that works for who YOU are?
On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I will walk you through how each Enneagram Type can set some healthy intentions for the new year. I'll share the filtering questions Enneagram 2s and 3s need to ask themselves before saying YES to the next thing and which type will actually benefit from more planning.
Listen in to hear which type needs to embark on an exercise plan, the two types who need to take scheduled breaks from the chaos of life, who needs to hire a coach, and who needs to spend the year shooting from the heart for more powerful connections.
Going into 2023, the greatest gift you can give yourself is a compassionate new level of self-awareness. My Enneagram Blueprint can help you use the beautiful tool of the Enneagram to learn more about who YOU are at a soul level.
What You Will Learn
How Enneagram 1s can embrace their growth number to have more fun and even let things get a little bit messy for more fulfillment in 2023
The #1 question every Enneagram 2 needs to ask themselves before they add another event or to-do to their calendar
The secret trick Enneagram 3s can do with their phones to be sure they unplug from social to connect with those they love for deeper relationships in the new year
The easy 3-to-do personal planner that will help Enneagram 4s tap into their creativity
Why a health and exercise program is the key to helping Enneagram 5s thrive in all areas of life in 2023

Those inching closer to a big birthday can often struggle as they shoot toward a new decade—especially those in their late 20s reaching for their 30s while questioning where they are in their lives.

My daughter Kasey is no stranger to this feeling, as she's turning 26 TODAY. Happy Birthday!

It's been my tradition since I've been doing the Leadership Formula podcast to invite her onto the show to share insight from her generation around her birthday.

Kasey is an Enneagram 7 and has some deep insight into how it feels, as an Enneagram 7, to be closer to 30 than 25. And the challenges of walking the fine line between living your best, free-spirited life and venturing into hardcore adulting for The Enthusiast.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, Kasey shares her least favorite thing about adulting and some steps she's taking to set herself on the right path for the future in the coming years. Plus, she shares the advice she shared with her brother to help him get re-centered.

Listen in to hear how Kasey is helping other people with their astrological chart, how that's helped put her on the right path for her life, and the one the misconception about astrology she's hoping to clear up.

If you're interested in getting a fresh start in 2023, now is an excellent time to learn the big 3 of your astrological chart. Kasey shares the types of readings she offers and how to find her Instagram.

There's a lot of controversy around people of faith using a tool like the Enneagram.

But many religious leaders are becoming more open to the teachings of the Enneagram and how this tool (when properly used) can help you stay rooted in your faith. Some pastors are now even teaching the Enneagram.

Fifteen years ago, my life was tough and I felt like everything was unfair, making it hard to trust that God had my back.

But then I found the Enneagram, which helped me clear the wreckage and unpack who I really am so that I can lean into my faith.

So how can the Enneagram come into play in your faith?

Today on The Leadership Formula, I discuss how the Enneagram how has strengthened my intuition and allowed me to stay rooted in my faith.

If you have any questions about this episode, please DM me directly on Instagram. I'd love to hear from you. I'm excited to lead you to the next level of your life. If you are ready to discover your TRUE Enneagram type, check out my newly developed Enneagram Type Blueprint.

How the Enneagram has helped me be more empathetic and understanding of other people's beliefs

How the Enneagram can help you stay rooted in your faith

Why I believe our body and our intuition are our main compass

How operating in your intuition rather than your coping mechanisms can help you clear the wreckage in your life

Why, when your core Enneagram Type is going rogue, you are most like the Enneagram stereotypes (you know, the ones being shown in those Instagram memes)

How the Enneagram can guide you back to your inner knowing

How the Enneagram can help you kick your coping mechanisms to the curb and lean into your faith

"Codependency is one of the hardest things to break even professionally."

One of the things that comes up a lot when I am coaching is an admission of feeling responsible for other people's feelings. And that can sneak right in no matter which Enneagram Type you are.

But allowing that into any relationship can create an element of inauthenticity and, worse, codependency.

And when you feel it is your responsibility to dictate how other people feel about something, you are creating an energy tourniquet that will block everything else that is good in your relationship.

So how can you be sure you are walking in compassion for somebody who's struggling without swerving into codependency?

Today on The Leadership Formula, I discuss how the Enneagram can help you discover what's at the root of your feelings of responsibility for other people's happiness (even your children.)

Listen in as I explain why it's vital to check your motives in your relationships to make sure you're not settling for temporary harmony that could lead to emotional bankruptcy. Plus, a sneak peek into what's coming from Tracy O'Malley.com in 2023.

My offerings will change in 2023, but there is still time to ensure you have the tools to step into your soul's calling. Here's where you can discover my newly developed Enneagram Type Blueprint to stay on track or book your Enneagram Kickstart Session.

What You Will Learn

How the Enneagram helps you understand what's at the root of your feeling of responsibility for other people's happiness
The fine line that so many of you are operating in that you aren't even aware of
The difference between compassion and codependency
Why feeling responsible for someone else's feelings is a one-way ticket to resentment
Why stepping out of codependency can lead to the ending of a relationship
Why feeling responsible for other's feelings leads to judgment
How to set the right boundaries to avoid falling into a codependent pattern in your relationships

In this latest episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," I discuss the common trap of accumulating knowledge, attending events, and seeking more strategies without making real progress. I emphasize that while these activities are valuable, they may not always lead to the growth we seek. I challenge listeners to consider what the "next brave thing" is for them, which can be a deeply personal and vulnerable step.

Using the Enneagram as a tool, I encourage you to identify your fears and take action that aligns with your type's unique path to growth. I confess my own struggles with vulnerability and share a personal commitment to send an email I've been avoiding, demonstrating the importance of integrity and leading by example.

"We were all designed with a unique, beautiful calling on our life with a unique personality and disposition. But if you're feeling blah, or like, you're not stepping into that version of yourself that you know is inside you, or you're not feeling fulfilled, you're stuck."

2022 is going to be ending soon.

Having just experienced the BEST year of your life, you may be closing the calendar in wonder. Or you'll be tossing the calendar into the garbage can on December 31, determined never to revisit 2022.

Or you're somewhere in between because it's been a mixed bag of highs and lows.

But whatever type of year you've had you can still feel stuck.

So how can you make 2023 the year you finally step into your life's calling so you can journey into your next stage with purpose?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, I'm sharing the top 5 tools I lean into daily to keep myself unstuck.

I discuss how the Enneagram helps me with everything from knowing myself better to sidestepping shame, to being vulnerable with those who support me in every area of my life.

Listen in as I share the behind-the-scenes tools I use, and you can, too, so you can live the life you were made for in 2023.

Are you ready to get unstuck? Now is the time to invest in yourself and prepare for a fabulous 20203. I've worked decades to ensure you have the tools to step into your soul's calling. Here's where you can apply for VIP 1:1 Enneagram Coaching (I have one spot left) for a 3-month intensive, or try an Enneagram Kickstart Session where we have a 90-minute ZOOM conversation to discuss your unique Enneagram type. Or discover my newly developed Enneagram Type Blueprint to stay on track with all you desire and deserve.

What You Will Learn

Why knowing yourself begins with stepping outside your facade
Why the Enneagram is the roadmap that can help you get unstuck
Which two Enneagram types have the most challenging time accepting support in their lives
The three Enneagram types that have the most difficult time stepping out of their shame
Why you must reverse engineer things to get unstuck
Why redesigning your belief system is the true catalyst for change
The three keys to redesigning your perspective
Why opening your mind to people who think differently than you is the key to learning and evolving
Why vulnerability opens the door to real growth
How to make the switch from storytelling to real vulnerability

"What would your life look like if you lived your authentic truth?"

The word authentic is a buzzword right now.

And we can all scroll social any day and see and hear what authenticity means to someone with a big Instagram following.

But what does it really mean?

And more importantly, what does authenticity mean to YOU?

A lot of times, when we are not living lives true to who we are, we sidestep dealing with our feelings by throwing ourselves into other things, like work, people, or jam-packed calendars that leave us little time to get in touch with how we are really feeling about how things are going.

But not looking and what's going on internally can rob you of everything you want for your life.

So how can you learn to move past your biggest fears and beyond your coping mechanisms to use your intuitive gifts for a more prosperous, fulfilling life?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, I'm sharing the center of intelligence, core motivation, and fear for each Enneagram Type, how your life experiences play into that, and how you can use the tools of the Enneagram to understand the core fears behind all your coping mechanisms.

Using the Enneagram to understand your motivations clears the wreckage so you can accelerate your transformation, growth, and, most of all, your impact. My newly created customized, 75-page Blueprint serves as a compass to keep you on track for all you desire and deserve in your life. Purchase your Blueprint here.

What You Will Learn

Why avoiding looking internally keeps us stuck in a pit of feeling unaccomplished
Why the Enneagram is different than all the other personality assessments out there
How understanding your core motive and fears can help you understand your coping mechanisms
Why you need to look at your core motivators to change your behaviors
Why 2s extreme helpfulness can lead to self-abandonment
Why Enneagram 3s quest to achieve ALL the goals is actually a search for evidence that they are worthy
Why Enneagram 4s get stuck in their shame instead of leaning into their gift of intuition
How the hoarding of resources and knowledge leads the Enneagram 5 to turn inward in a quest to conserve their energy
Why the Enneagram 6 might become paralyzed if they feel like they are going to be blindsided
Why the Enneagram 7s enthusiastic 'life to the fullest' attitude is often driven by a fear of being pigeonholed
How an 8s independence and fear of betrayal can lead them to be lonely
Why a 9s procrastination is actually a mask for their anger
How the 1s inner turmoil looks like criticism when it's turned outward

"No matter how much pure intention you put into the world, it doesn't mean it's always going to be received that way or responded to as though it was."

Often, we're going along just fine, and then something happens, and a member of our supporting cast—our friends or business besties—decides, without warning, that their part in our life story is over.

This can come in different packaging, from betrayal to even being ghosted.

But no matter what format the end of your friendship takes, finding out someone you thought would always be in your life isn't going to be is always painful.

And it can be downright lonely, too, because as adults, making friends, (especially for women) can be very tricky.

So how can you get over being blindsided by the loss of a friendship?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, I'm sharing my personal story of my most recent friendship divorce, with someone I expected to be in my life for the rest of it.

Listen in as I share how I used the power of the Enneagram to see my blind spots, so I could take responsibility for my part in the ending of the relationship. I share how I moved forward, found new gifts in my life, and used my freed-up energy to find the right friend relationships for myself and how you can too!

I credit the Enneagram 100% for saving me this year in all my interpersonal relationships. It's why I'm so passionate about helping you integrate it into your life. I've worked hard to bring my Enneagram blueprints to you, which includes your own customized 75-page, Soul blueprint, so you have the exact tools you need to weather any blindsides that come your way. Find yours here!

What You Will Learn

Why being vulnerable with your friends after being the 'strong one' can sometimes create an uneven energy exchange
Why we often use anger as the bodyguard for sadness
Why it's important to understand that how we respond to these friendship divorces is up to us (and that's not for the faint of heart)
Where are inability to connect with friends of the same sex comes from
How being in friendship relationships with people who aren't there for you in the way you need them might be robbing you of the energy for friends who can
How to turn away from the betrayal you feel to focus on the lessons of the relationship
What happens to us internally when we stay in relationships we know aren't working
How honoring your intuition and walking away from broken relationships can lead to new doors being opened in your life

"Blindsides always come down to a breakdown in communication."

A broken romantic relationship is always painful.

But we're most vulnerable when the relationship breakdown comes as a surprise. One minute, everything is fine; and the next, you've been blindsided.

So how can you get over being blindsided by a breakup?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, I'm sharing the personal story of what I went through when my marriage ended, how it activated every unhealthy part of my Enneagram 8 self, and why what came next was even worse.

I'll walk you through how the Enneagram helped me recognize my part in what happened and take ownership of it.

Listen in as I share how I used the Enneagram to reverse engineer my previous relationships, discover my partnership patterns, and make better relationship choices.

If you've been blindsided in a romanticpartnership, you need the tools and a guide to help you on your transformation journey to find the relationships you were meant for. I have one spot left for 1:1 VIP Enneagram Coaching. Now is the time to commit to changing your life in 2023!

What You Will Learn

Why spewing venom when a romantic relationship breaks down only hurts you (and the children)
How to take responsibility for your part in the breakdown of the relationship
Why it's vital to take responsibility for your part in what went wrong to ensure you don't end up in a cycle of relationships that end in the same way
Why playing the victim leads to attracting relationships with people that are a 'similar package, different wrapping paper'
How to reverse engineer your relationships to discover your unhealthy patterns
The real reason why staying for the children is ALWAYS the wrong decision
How the Enneagram can help you uncover the one tool you need in your arsenal to avoid being blindsided

"Taking care of our health is so super important. You have to honor the vessel. But even in honoring the vessel, it doesn't guarantee that nothing is going to happen."

Have you ever faced a health blindside? Either your own or that of someone you love?

When faced with your own mortality or that of someone you love, it can rock your world, taking you to your knees in the pit of the unknown. We have two choices.

We can wallow in the grief and despair of our situation, or we can take the next step forward.

That decision will make the difference in the legacy you leave.

So how can you learn to lean into beauty and love to deliver your wisdom to those you love?

In this episode of The Leadership Formula, I'm sharing the story of the health crisis that took me from my vibrant, thriving self to a shell of who I once was.

I will walk you through some of the people I met during that journey and the stories of those who left their mark on me by the way they handled their blindside.

Listen in to learn how to discover how the Enneagram can help you make beauty out of the hardest blindsides, so you can integrate life's most unexpected, scary things into your life with elegance and grace and leave a legacy that transforms the journeys of those you love.

Having the right tools and the right guide to help you on your journey can help you face your next blindside with beauty and grace. Use Code THANKFUL22 to Purchase My ALL-NEW Enneagram Blueprint for 20% Off this week.

What You Will Learn

Why grieving is never linear
How blindsides can help you prevail
The choice you must make when life hands you the most difficult lessons
The lesson I learned from people facing their last days
How you can emotionally regulate yourself even in the hardest blindsides you face

"You're gonna have to find a pain point that is uncomfortable enough for you to do what is required to be in that element of greatness that I know you have in you."

With record inflation, this year has been financially rocky for most of the world. And it's not the first time.

Couple that with the other high-stress situations you might be experiencing in your life, and things can begin to feel desperate.

But times like these can actually force our hand of change. Sometimes for the worse, but often for the better.

So how can you use the gift of desperation to catapult yourself onto a new and better path in your journey?

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I'm sharing the story of how the financial crash of 2008, coupled with my recent divorce, chipped away at my financial security, important relationships, and sobriety.

I share how the next steps in my path led to a very unhealthy time for me as an Enneagram 8 and how this experience forced me to make a change in my life.

Listen in to learn how that blindside set me up for one of my greatest comebacks and took my income from zero to a million dollars in 26 months. Plus, how you can make YOUR blindside matter for something.

Have you been holding onto resentment? Are you looking for healing? I have two spots left for one-on-one coaching. Click here to apply.

What You Will Learn

Why blindsides often propel us forward at a more rapid rate
The beauty of making your pain matter for the greater good
How your Enneagram subtype comes into play when you are blindsided
How your Enneagram type biggest fear plays into your reaction to the blindsides in your life

Nobody is immune to being blindsided.

Anxiety can hit us at any age for any reason, especially when taking the next BIG step in our lives.

You might be anxious about going to college or picking the wrong major.

Or maybe you are anxious about becoming a parent or "getting it right" for your child's future.

Or maybe you're working a j.o.b. to put food on the table, but every day when you wake up, your heart is screaming that you are meant for more.

Many of us are living with an intense need to understand our true purpose. We’re constantly worried if we're getting this thing called life right.

That's called "purpose anxiety," and it's very real.

So, what do you do if you are feeling purpose anxiety?

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I'm going to walk you through how to recognize if you are suffering from purpose anxiety and what you can do to move through it and step into your authentic life's purpose.

I'll share why purpose anxiety is now more rampant than ever, especially for those of you in a season of your life that feels like the movie "Groundhog Day." I’ll also discuss why jumping from action to action isn't the solution—and might be keeping you stuck.

Listen in to learn the key to using all the tools in the Enneagram to finally step into your true purpose and live the life you were born for.

Having a guide on the road to finding your purpose can be very powerful. I now have two options to help you understand why you're here and how to use that information to transform your life! My ALL-NEW Enneagram Blueprint is 75 pages of Enneagram gold. It's like your soul blueprint.

How to recognize purpose anxiety in your life
Why jumping from action to action never solves anything and just keeps us stuck
What does it mean to be living in purpose purgatory
The number one reason why so many people are mistyped on the Enneagram
Why your niche is NOT your purpose
How to reverse engineer your purpose
Why the wings of your Enneagram type are the ‘holy grail” for the embodiment of your purpose

In this latest episode of Lead with the Enneagram, I open up about a recent self-awareness realization I had during a mastermind event involving a racetrack challenge. Despite my confidence and expertise in self-awareness, I noticed a pattern of self-sabotage when the focus was solely on me, rather than on a team or others. This led to a vulnerable moment where I recognized the importance of not just being self-aware but also taking compassionate, effective action to create real change.

I emphasize that self-awareness is only a piece of the puzzle and that understanding your Enneagram type is not enough. It's about what you do with that knowledge that counts. I encourage listeners to move beyond passive awareness and take active steps towards transformation.

For those looking to deepen their Enneagram work and take actionable steps, I have a few spots open for one-on-one coaching, including 90-minute power sessions and three-month VIP coaching.

Recently I was doing an offsite with a team at Google, and I was talking to the Enneagram 1 leader of the group. As she gave me the background on each person who would be there, she mentioned one she struggles to interact harmoniously with.

I soon discovered they are the same Enneagram Type and same subtype, yet they each approach life much differently.

Why was that?

Because their Tritype and where they dominate in the Centers of Intelligence were completely different.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I am diving deep into Enneagram Tritypes. I’ll walk you through what Tritypes are, each Type’s dominant Enneagram Center of Intelligence, and why even two people of the same Enneagram Type might express themselves very differently—because we’re all unique.

Listen in to learn how knowing your dominant type in each of the three Enneagram Centers of Intelligence can help you interact more effectively with the other Enneagram Types and move through life with more freedom for more fulfillment.

My ALL-NEW Enneagram Blueprint is 75 pages of Enneagram gold. It's like your soul handbook, a beautiful blueprint to help you step into who you are designed to be so that you can honor the calling that has been on your life all along. Visit TracyO'Malley.com for information TODAY!

What You Will Learn

Why two people of the same Enneagram Types can be so different from each other
How to use the Centers of Intelligence to determine which Enneagram Type a friend or family member might be without mentioning the word Enneagram
Why so many people are mistyped using Enneagram online assessments
Why Enneagram 8s, 9s, and 1s respond to life and act through what their gut instinct is telling them to do
Why Enneagram 2s, 3s, and 4s generally make decisions in life based on what their feelings are telling them to do
Why are the Thinking Center of Intelligence Types (5, 6, 7) more motivated by fear and anxiety than other Types

The Enneagram 9 is the Adaptive Peacemaker. Got conflict? They don't want it and will go out of their way to avoid in, in their quest to maintain peace and harmony at any cost. Which sometimes causes them to go along with others' wishes in relationships or career situations even when it doesn't meet their needs.

But this go-along-to-get-along attitude can lead them to feel resentment towards others and even themselves, and this quest for peace can leave them energetically bankrupt and looking like a horizontal sloth, belly up with Ho Hos at the ready, and binging Netflix for days.

So how can Enneagram 9s learn to better deal with their internal and external conflicts to elevate themselves to the next best level in their lives?

Today on the show, my friend Taylor Murphy joins me to walk us through her life as an Enneagram Type 9. She shares how working with me to learn about her Enneagram Tritype has helped her understand her past struggles and embrace her gifts for approaching life instead of wishing she could change them.

Listen in as she walks us through recent scenarios that required her to use her 1 and 8 wings to walk away from relationships and business opportunities that weren't right for her. Plus, how she's using her podcast to help other women define success in their own lives.

What You Will Learn

Why Enneagram 9s are often mistyped
Why 9s become stubborn if you try to force them into a box or push them into doing something they don't want to
How an Enneagram 9s quest for peace can lead them into energetic bankruptcy
The reason Enneagram 9s can sometimes find themselves numbing out for days to Netflix
Why Enneagram 9s often trade long-term peace for temporary harmony
Why Enneagram 9s will sometimes follow someone else's plan for their lives instead of stepping into their own dreams

So, how can Enneagram 9s learn to reconcile that healthy conflict is the greatest catalyst for change so they can stand in their power, express their own voice, and bring forth their deep insight into the world?

Enneagram 8s are legendary for having a powerful energy that sometimes enters the room before they do. They do everything with gusto, including their propensity to measure everything as strong vs. weak—even themselves. So, they avoid being vulnerable at all costs, often choosing to share their stories of frailty only after the fact.

But other Enneagram types can see this take no prisoners, no slowing down charge as lacking in compassion. For the 8, it sometimes lacks connection.

So how can Enneagram 8s stop being so independent and lean into vulnerability and compassion to enjoy deeper relationships and more in-depth experiences?

Today on the show, my client and friend Zoi Jones joins me to walk us through her life as an Enneagram Type 8. She shares how her intense 8 energy helped her hold three jobs while working her way through law school and helps her level up her business as Partner in a personal injury law firm.

She’ll walk us through her favorite thing about being an Enneagram 8 mom to three children under five. Plus, how using the all the tools of the Enneagram (especially her 7 Wing) has helped her lead with more compassion while walking with her husband as he transitions in his career.

Listen in as Zoi shares her biggest challenges as Enneagram 8 and the most significant breakthrough working with me as her coached helped her to achieve in her life.

Enneagram 8s are motivated by a need to be strong and in control. They are take charge, decisive, aggressive, power-oriented, and magnetic. Self-sufficient autonomy is essential to an 8, and they have their own way of influencing others, including within large and powerful organizations.

Those are their superpowers, but when they are in an unhealthy space or acting in their ego, those same superpowers can be like a wrecking ball on the life of an Enneagram 8.

So, how can Enneagram 8s overcome their fear of being vulnerable to realize the connection and intimacy they so desperately crave in their relationships?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, we're diving into everything Enneagram 8. I'll share some triggers Enneagram 8s face that can cause their self-protection defense mechanism to kick in and the blind spots they have that can leave others feeling unprepared, underappreciated, or unprotected.

Listen in as I share how Enneagram 8s can use their wings to connect with people and experience the nuances of life without judgment or jaded expectations for more playfulness and fun.

Plus, I'll share which type is the least expressive and the most armed of the three Eight subtypes and which is the most intense and charismatic.

"Enneagram Sevens can develop an addictive cycle of fun-filling, but not fulfilling experiences."

Enneagram 7s are the most optimistic of the Enneagram Types. The Enthusiastic Visionary often acts as the joy meter in their circle of family and friends. They love spontaneity and approach life as an adventure, blazing a trail to an exciting future.

But, when they aren't at their best, their insatiable search for fulfillment and FOMO can sometimes lead them to become impulsive and unfocused, leaving them dissatisfied.

So, how can Enneagram 7s stop chasing the excitement of the next big thing and experience more fulfillment by living fully in the present moment?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, we're going to look at the larger-than-life Enneagram 7. I'll share some triggers that can activate an Enneagram 7s fear of not being taken seriously and how each of the subtypes are expressed and why one is frequently mistyped.

I'll walk you through the Enneagram 7s blind spots and how you can help your Seven focus on finding more joy in the moment and more harmony in life.

Listen in as I walk you through why the wisdom and honesty 7s bring to the table is often overlooked and why the gift of the enthusiastic visionary is something we all need in our lives.

Would you like to be able to use ALL THE tools of the Enneagram to navigate your life? Please go to Tracy O’Malley. com for information on how my all-NEW Blueprint can help you accelerate your transformation to living YOUR life to the fullest.

Do you have follow-up questions about this episode or any in this series? If so, I'd love to hear from you DM me on Instagram.

Which Enneagram type suffers the most from FOMO
Why it's best to offer an Enneagram 7 ALL options before requesting their decision
How to lose the trust of an Enneagram 7
Why Enneagram's visionary gift sometimes leaves a trail of unfinished projects in their wake
Why the fear of being forced to face their pain leads in Enneagram 7 to focus on the silver lining in conflict
How 7s can use their 8 Wing for less conflict avoidance and more honest interaction with others
Why the 6 Wing is the key to helping entrepreneurial 7s become more strategic and grounded in the here and now

"I've often said everyone needs an Enneagram Six in their life because they keep our butts out of trouble."

As The Loyalist, Enneagram 6s can troubleshoot and are prepared for the worst-case scenario in any situation.

But all that planning, and preparation can lead to anxiety, insecurity, and a lack of enjoyment in life.

So, how can Enneagram Type 6s learn to stop worrying so much and trust their instincts to enjoy the moment more?

Today on the show, Sara Craig joins me. A podcast listener, her family had their Enneagram types, but they didn't know what to do with the information. I worked with their entire clan teaching them how to use all the tools of the Enneagram to communicate better and 'control the chaos' in their big, blended family.

Sara shares how using the Enneagram has helped her walk the fine line between her need to know and maintaining healthy boundaries with her children, stepchildren, and her Type 9 husband.

Listen in for insight into her favorite (and not so favorite) thing about being a Six and how she uses her wings personally and professionally to solve problems and stay emotionally and energetically prepared for her role in the car industry.

Plus, how you can use the love language of the 6 to make those in your life feel more supported, loved, and understood.

I love working with families to help them communicate more effectively. If you are interested in learning more, reach out to me at Tracy O'Malley.com.

What You Will Learn

How the 5 wing of an Enneagram 6 can sometimes take them down the rabbit hole of fear and anxiety
The one thing in the way of Sixes being the best leaders
Why Enneagram 6s try to micromanage people when they feel anxious and panicked
How Type 6s can use their growth number to release their worry and be more relaxed
Why 6s are happiest playing a supporting role and keeping things running smoothly
Why Enneagram 6s are the master troubleshooter, worst-case scenario thinkers you need in your life

Everyone needs an Enneagram 6 in their lives.

6s are trustworthy and team-team oriented, and their need for certainty means they recognize risk and ask important questions.

But the Loyal Skeptic’s worst-case scenario planning can also be a curse, tipping their healthy doubt into paralyzing fear territory.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I offer an overview of the Enneagram 6, explaining why they value security and belonging, yet struggle to trust others.

I discuss how a 6’s fear of being unprepared can lead to irrational overthinking and describe how they can lean on their wings to gain perspective and see the good in people.

Listen in to understand why projection is a 6’s go-to defense mechanism and learn how a Loyalist can leverage their Enneagram lines to take inspired action and deeply connect with others.

What You Will Learn

Why Enneagram 6s ask a lot of questions (and how that is received by other types)
The difference between a loyal, courageous, healthy 6 and an anxious, fearful, unhealthy one
Why Enneagram 6s value security and belonging yet struggle to trust others
The challenge a 6 faces in finding the balance between healthy doubt and paralyzing fear
How a 6’s fear of being unprepared can lead to irrational overthinking

How a 6 can lean on their 5 wing for perspective and borrow optimism from their 7 wing
How a 6 can use their lines to take action and connect deeply with others
How a 6’s instinctual response to life makes them warm, intimidating or dutiful

At their best, Wise Enneagram 5s are visionaries who approach life in a logical way, sidestepping emotion when needed. Innovative and pioneering, objectivity and knowledge are crucial to 5s.

Their intellectual interests enable them to build expertise in various fields, topics, and theories. Especially their areas of interest.

But, when they're not in a great place, 5s may seem intellectually arrogant and disconnected from emotion as they retreat into their minds to avoid being overwhelmed.

So, how can Enneagram 5s stop hoarding their resources, information, and energy, start sharing their impactful wisdom with the world?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, we're going to dive into what it means to be an Enneagram 5. I'll share some triggers that can activate an Enneagram 5s fear of having a lack of resources or knowledge. We'll walk through their blind spots, and I will share how you can communicate with your Five in a way that will have them leaning in and sharing.

Listen in as I share the how each of the subtypes of the Enneagram 5 operates in the world and reveal the one is the most often mistyped. Plus, how Enneagram 5s can use their wings to learn to engage on a deeper, emotional level.

Enneagram 4s are very mysterious. They are the creatives and the intuitives.

Their core motive is being authentic to who they were designed to be.

The most emotional on the Enneagram, they feel every emotion, sometimes in the span of two minutes.

But their biggest fear is not having significance.

So how can 4s step into the healthiest parts of themselves to share the unique gifts that only they can bring to the world?

Feelings and self-expression are important to Enneagram 4s. Romantics at heart, they appreciate creating meaning for themselves and others. Unafraid of deep emotions, they courageously ask the deep questions and then hold space without judgment for those willing to answer.

Enneagram 4s are motivated by a need to be unique and authentic, often leading them to become purpose-driven creatives sharing their inspiring contributions with the world.

But, when they're not in a great place, they compare themselves to others causing them to get stuck in an unhealthy loop of melancholy and envy.

So, how can Enneagram 4s overcome their fear of being ordinary and finally see their positive and negative qualities in equal measure?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, we're going to dive into what it means to be an Enneagram 4. I'll share some triggers Enneagram 4s face that can spark an unhealthy comparison loop. I'll also take you deep into how the three instinctual variations bring a very different flavor to the typical Enneagram 4 stereotype.

Listen in as I share how Enneagram 4s can use their wings to step out of their emotions, stop cycling in envy, and finally do the work that needs to be done to birth their gifts into the world.
