In this episode of Echoes and Edges: The Broken and Beautiful Podcast, we step into the Enneagram’s Body Triad — Types Eight, Nine, and One — also known as the Gut Triad. These types lead with their instincts, carry a deep relationship to anger, and hold a profound need for autonomy.

We’ll explore how each type experiences anger differently, the unique fears and misunderstandings they face, and the relational patterns that can keep them stuck. You’ll hear from real Eights, Nines, and Ones as they respond to type-specific questions, offering personal insight into how they navigate vulnerability, conflict, and self-criticism.

Whether you identify with one of these types or love someone who does, this episode will help you see the Body Triad with greater depth, compassion, and understanding.

The Enneagram is more than a personality test — it’s a compassionate map of why we think, feel, and act the way we do. In this episode of Echoes and Edges: The Broken and Beautiful Podcast, host Patria Rector explores how the Enneagram can be used as a powerful healing modality.

We’ll look at the ways our early life experiences shaped the strategies we use to stay safe and connected, and how bringing awareness to those patterns can lead to profound transformation. When combined with storywork and relational care, the Enneagram becomes less about “fixing” yourself and more about finding freedom to be who you already are.

In this episode:

• What the Enneagram is (and what it isn’t)
• How it reveals our core motivations and fears
• Ways the Enneagram supports emotional and relational healing
• Common misunderstandings about using the Enneagram
• A gentle reflection prompt for your own journey

Whether you’re brand new to the Enneagram or have studied it for years, this conversation will invite you to see it through a new lens — one that is deeply compassionate and grounded in hope.

In this first episode of Echoes and Edges: The Broken and Beautiful Podcast, Patria Rector invites you into a tender and honest conversation about the heart of this space: the belief that you are enough, just as you are.

Through personal story, the wisdom of the Enneagram, and the transformative power of storywork, Patria explores how understanding our patterns and reclaiming our voice can move us from simply surviving to truly connecting — with ourselves, with others, and with God.

You'll learn how the Enneagram can be a compassionate guide rather than a label, why revisiting our stories matters for healing, and how we can begin building secure relationships — starting with the one we have with ourselves.

In this episode:

• Why “enoughness” is the foundation for growth
• How the Enneagram reveals the strategies we use to feel safe
• The role of storywork in understanding our patterns
• Simple ways to start moving toward secure connection
• A reflection prompt to help you explore your own story

Reflection Prompt:
What story do you tell yourself about who you need to be to be loved? Where did that story begin?
