We’re halfway through the year, and it’s time to get real. Procrastination isn’t just a harmless habit—it’s a thief that robs you of your potential, peace, and progress. In this episode of The Enneagram Edge, Tracy O’Malley dives deep into the unique ways procrastination shows up for each Enneagram type and how to break free from its grip. Whether you’re stuck in perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, or chasing shiny objects, this episode will give you the clarity, compassion, and tools to cross your finish line with confidence.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. The Truth About Procrastination:
   • Procrastination isn’t laziness—it’s your nervous system protecting you from perceived danger like failure, rejection, or vulnerability.
   • It’s a beautifully decorated prison for your potential, and it’s time to break out.
2. The Cost of Procrastination:
   • Procrastination costs U.S. businesses over $10,000 per employee annually in lost productivity.
   • It’s linked to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and even physical health issues.
   • It’s not just a quirk—it’s a serious barrier to your success and well-being.
3. How Procrastination Shows Up for Each Enneagram Type:
   • Type 1 (The Perfectionist): Stuck in perfecting details and avoiding mistakes. Solution: Let “good enough” be good enough and lean on your wings.
   • Type 2 (The Helper): Focused on others’ needs to avoid their own. Solution: Prioritize your own finish line—your dreams matter.
   • Type 3 (The Achiever): Avoids tasks that might reveal imperfection or failure. Solution: Redefine success as courageous completion, not speed.
   • Type 4 (The Individualist): Waits for inspiration or certainty before starting. Solution: Take action even when it feels ordinary.
   • Type 5 (The Investigator): Gathers endless information before acting. Solution: Commit to action before feeling fully prepared.
   • Type 6 (The Loyal Skeptic): Paralyzed by worst-case scenarios. Solution: Take one small, controlled step at a time.
   • Type 7 (The Enthusiast): Abandons projects for newer, shinier ideas. Solution: Celebrate each moment of completion to stay anchored.
   • Type 8 (The Challenger): Avoids tasks that expose vulnerability or feel like losing control. Solution: Embrace vulnerability as power and set up accountability.
   • Type 9 (The Peacemaker): Drifts into distractions and avoids conflict. Solution: Reignite your vision and take small, consistent steps.
4. The Power of Tritype Awareness:
   • Your tritype reveals how your thinking, feeling, and doing centers work together to keep you stuck—or help you break free.
   • Understanding your tritype gives you compassion, clarity, and the courage to move forward.
5. Tracy’s Personal Story:
   • Tracy shares her own battle with procrastination while building her Enneagram certification program, including how her Enneagram 8 core fears of vulnerability and betrayal showed up.
   • By leaning into accountability and compassion, she broke through her hesitation and reclaimed her power.

Your edge isn’t something to be polished down—it’s meant to lead. Stay sharp, stay true, and keep walking your edge.

In this episode of The Enneagram Edge, Tracy O’Malley dives into five bold, no-BS truths about the Enneagram that challenge the watered-down, trendy takes you’ve probably seen online. If you’ve ever felt stuck, misunderstood, or like you’re just scratching the surface of what the Enneagram can do, this episode is your wake-up call. Tracy breaks down how to move beyond labels, embrace the full power of the Enneagram, and use it as the ultimate tool for transformation in your life, leadership, and relationships.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. The Real Purpose of the Enneagram:
   • The Enneagram isn’t about slapping a label on yourself or others. It’s about uncovering the parts of you shaped by pain, pressure, and survival—and reclaiming the version of you that existed before the world told you who to be.
2. Unpopular Opinion #1: You Are Not Your Number
   • Your Enneagram type is your home base, not your identity. Many people cling to their type as armor, but true growth comes from integrating the framework and moving beyond survival strategies.
3. Unpopular Opinion #2: Your Wings Aren’t Accessories—They’re Lifelines
   • Both wings of your Enneagram type are essential for balance and growth. Using only one wing is like trying to fly with one wing—you’ll crash, burn, or just keep circling.
4. Unpopular Opinion #3: If You Don’t Know Your Subtype, You Don’t Know Your Type
   • Subtypes (self-preservation, social, one-on-one) are critical to understanding yourself and others. Without this layer, you’re only seeing half the picture.
5. Unpopular Opinion #4: Knowing Your Type Won’t Change Your Life—Living It Will
   • Transformation happens when you integrate the Enneagram into your life from the neck down, not just the neck up. It’s about embodiment, not just information.
6. Unpopular Opinion #5: Online Assessments Type Your Mask, Not Your Motive
   • Most assessments measure behaviors, not the core motives driving them. This is why many people mistype themselves and miss out on the real power of the Enneagram.

Tracy shares how these truths have shaped her own journey and the lives of her clients. From corporate teams to personal relationships, understanding the deeper layers of the Enneagram can transform how you lead, love, and live.

Key Quotes:

• “The Enneagram wasn’t created to slap a label on your personality. It’s here to help you reclaim who you were before the world told you who to be.”
• “Your wings aren’t just cute add-ons—they’re the lifelines that keep you balanced and moving forward.”
• “If you don’t know your subtype, you’re working with incomplete information. It’s like trying to navigate with the wrong GPS coordinates.”
• “Transformation isn’t about learning more—it’s about living it from the neck down.”

Transformation isn’t a checkbox—it’s a decision. The Enneagram is your ultimate power tool when you know how to use it. Stay sharp, stay true, and keep walking your edge.

We all have those little rituals, habits, or quick fixes we reach for when life feels overwhelming—a glass of wine, a hit of sugar, a scroll through social media. They seem harmless, even helpful, right? But here’s the truth: what helps you take the edge off can also take you off your edge. In this episode, I’m getting real about the sneaky ways we dull our instincts, intuition, and power—and how to reclaim the sharpness that makes you, YOU.This isn’t about shame or cutting everything out of your life. It’s about radical self-honesty, compassionate inventory, and asking yourself the hard questions: Is this grounding me, or is it numbing me?What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How the things you use to “take the edge off” might actually be dulling your edge.
• Why even the most intentional rituals can become traps when you start depending on them.
• The difference between soothing yourself and silencing yourself.
• How to identify what you’re really reaching for when you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or underappreciated.
• How the Enneagram can help you uncover the root motivations behind your habits and patterns.

Key Takeaways:

1. Edge Erosion is Sneaky: You don’t lose your edge all at once—it leaks away, one sip, one scroll, one snack at a time. Tiny moments of permission can quietly say, “I can’t handle this on my own.”
2. Radical Self-Honesty is Key: This isn’t about judgment—it’s about asking yourself, “What am I really reaching for? What am I trying not to feel?”
3. Your Edge is a Signal, Not a Problem: The discomfort you’re trying to soften might actually be a sign that you’re out of alignment—not broken, just misdirected.
4. The Enneagram as a Compass: Your Enneagram type doesn’t just reveal your behaviors—it shows you the motivations behind them. It’s a tool to help you take inventory without shame and get to the root of your patterns.

Practical Tools from This Episode:

• Pause and Reflect: Ask yourself, “What do I reach for when I feel overstimulated, overwhelmed, or uncertain? Is this soothing me, or silencing me?”
• Take an Inventory: Look at your habits and rituals with compassion. Are they helping you for the long game, or are they quietly robbing you of your clarity and power?
• Use the Enneagram as a Mirror: Your type can help you trace the “why” behind every reach, every spiral, and every escape hatch. It’s not about labeling yourself—it’s about understanding yourself.

You were built with edge on purpose. It’s not something to dull down or manage—it’s something to honor, sharpen, and trust. When you stop outsourcing your calm and start leading from your truth, you reclaim your clarity, your power, and your legacy.Call to Action:

“Stop managing your edge and start trusting it. You’ve got an edge—let’s use it.”Let’s fucking go!

In this fiery and no-nonsense episode of The Enneagram Edge, Tracy O’Malley calls out the sneaky ways resistance shows up in our lives, shapeshifting into something we trust—intuition, strategy, even our Enneagram type. But here’s the truth: resistance hijacks your survival patterns, flatters your strengths, and keeps you stuck in a loop of productivity, perfection, and fear. This episode is about naming resistance, cutting through the bullshit, and reclaiming your edge by using the Enneagram as a weapon for transformation, not an excuse for stagnation.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How resistance cloaks itself in your Enneagram type’s survival patterns and sabotages your growth.
• Why resistance isn’t always fear or procrastination—it can look like over-functioning, perfectionism, or even kindness.
• The difference between resistance that grows you and resistance that keeps you stuck.
• A breakdown of how resistance shows up for each Enneagram type—and actionable steps to overcome it.
• Why compassion, curiosity, and consistency are the keys to breaking free from resistance.

Key Takeaways:

1. Resistance Wears Many Masks: It flatters your strengths, feeds off your virtues, and keeps you busy, admired, and stuck. Recognizing it is the first step to reclaiming your power.
2. The Enneagram is Not an Excuse: It’s a weapon for transformation. Stop using your type to justify your patterns and start using it to break free.
3. Compassion is Non-Negotiable: Beating yourself up won’t help. Meet resistance with curiosity and kindness to turn it into a tool for growth.

How Resistance Shows Up for Each Enneagram Type:

• Type 1 (The Virtuous Overachiever): Resistance looks like endless tweaking and polishing. Action step: Move anyway. Let it be imperfect.
• Type 2 (The Helpful Hustler): Resistance shows up as putting everyone else first. Action step: Prioritize yourself unapologetically—now, not later.
• Type 3 (The Strategic Chameleon): Resistance hides in optimization and performance. Action step: Choose what’s true, even if it doesn’t impress.
• Type 4 (The Depth Dweller): Resistance convinces you to wait for inspiration. Action step: Create anyway. Your truth is bigger than your pain.
• Type 5 (The Knowledge Collector): Resistance keeps you hoarding information. Action step: Speak, share, and trust your voice.
• Type 6 (The Devoted Doubter): Resistance demands guarantees. Action step: Leap without certainty. Leadership is courage, not preparation.
• Type 7 (The Optimistic Escapist): Resistance pivots you away from discomfort. Action step: Stay. Freedom is found in follow-through.
• Type 8 (The Armored Commander): Resistance tells you to push harder and armor up. Action step: Soften, surrender, and let support in.
• Type 9 (The Peaceful Producer): Resistance numbs your edge with comfort and distraction. Action step: Speak up, show up, and lead.

Reflection Questions for Listeners:

• Where are you calling resistance wisdom?
• Where are you confusing sabotage with service?
• What are you afraid will happen if you actually move?

Final Thoughts: Resistance is loudest right before your breakthrough. It’s not here to break you—it’s here to build you. But you have to lean in, meet yourself with compassion, and take action. The Enneagram is your ultimate power tool, but transformation isn’t a checkbox—it’s a decision. So stop hiding, start rising, and reclaim your edge.Call to Action: If this episode lit a fire under your ass, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

In this raw and vulnerable episode of The Enneagram Edge, Tracy O’Malley dives deep into a topic that many high achievers avoid—our relationship with our bodies. As leaders, parents, and visionaries, we often push through fatigue, ignore the red flags, and treat our bodies like afterthoughts. But here’s the truth: your body is not separate from your calling—it’s the vessel that carries it. And if you’re out of alignment with your body, you’re out of alignment with your mission. This episode is a wake-up call to reclaim your strength, honor your softness, and redefine what it means to lead with integrity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why disconnection from your body is a survival mechanism for many high achievers—and how it’s holding you back.
• The difference between endurance and embodiment—and why the latter is the key to sustainable power.
• How the Enneagram can help you understand your unique patterns of pushing through or avoiding your body’s signals.
• Tracy’s personal journey of navigating extremes—strength as protection, softness as vulnerability—and finding the sweet spot between the two.
• Practical steps to honor your vessel and lead from a place of integrity, including daily practices that reconnect you to your body.

Key Takeaways:

1. Your Body is the Blueprint, Not a Billboard: It’s not about aesthetics or performance—it’s about alignment. Your body holds the truth before your mind catches up.
2. Strength and Softness Can Coexist: For Tracy, reclaiming her feminine softness didn’t mean losing her edge—it became her edge. You can be both powerful and vulnerable.
3. The Body Keeps the Score: Ignoring your body’s signals will eventually lead to breakdowns. Real leadership starts with embodiment, not just mindset.
4. Practical Practices for Honoring Your Vessel:
   • Walk daily—not to burn calories, but to drop in and connect with yourself.
   • Lift with intention to support your hormones, joints, and longevity.
   • Eat for energy and strength, not validation.
   • Rest when your body says enough—this is wisdom, not weakness.

Reflection Questions for Listeners:

• Are you treating your body like a project or a partner?
• Where have you used strength to avoid your softness?
• What would integrity look like if it started in your nervous system, not your to-do list?
• Is your body whispering—or screaming—for your attention?

Final Thoughts: This episode is a call to action for anyone who’s been ignoring their body’s signals in the name of productivity or survival. As Tracy says, “You don’t lose your edge by softening—you reclaim it when you stop abandoning yourself.” It’s time to honor the vessel that carries your calling and lead with integrity from the inside out.Call to Action: If this episode hit you in the gut or lit a fire under your ass, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Leave a review, subscribe, and let Tracy know what cracked open for you. Remember, your edge isn’t something to be polished down—it’s part of you that was always meant to lead. Stay sharp, stay true, and keep walking your edge.

You’re making high-level decisions every day—hiring, scaling, leading, launching. From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all under control. But here’s the truth: if you haven’t examined who’s running the show inside of you, you’re not leading—you’re reacting. In this episode, we’re diving into what it means to truly be the CEO of your life, your business, and your legacy by understanding the internal boardroom that’s quietly influencing every move you make. This isn’t about managing people better—it’s about managing your own power better.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why most leaders are still being run by the version of themselves that had to survive, not the one born to lead.
• How your Enneagram type, Tri-Type, and Instinctual Drive are influencing your decisions—and how to stop defaulting to fear-based patterns.
• The key players in your internal boardroom: your core Enneagram type (the CEO), your wings (the advisors), your Tri-Type (the strategist, connector, and executor), and your instinctual subtype (the CFO of your energy).
• How to identify which part of you is speaking when you’re triggered—and whether it’s coming from strategy or protection.
• Why integrated leadership isn’t soft—it’s surgical.

Key Takeaways:

1. Your Core Enneagram Type is the CEO: This is where your core motives and fears live. It’s your home base, but it shouldn’t be running the show solo.
2. Your Wings are Your Advisors: Both wings bring unique strengths to the table. Leaning on just one will have you circling or crashing—use both for balance and range.
3. Your Tri-Type is Your Strategy Team: This is next-level Enneagram work. Your Tri-Type reveals how you think, feel, and act under pressure, giving you a nuanced strategy for leadership and decision-making.
4. Your Instinctual Subtype is the CFO of Your Energy: Whether you’re self-preservation, one-on-one (sexual), or social, your instinct determines what gets prioritized under pressure. Understanding this is key to managing your energy effectively.
5. Integration Over Reaction: When you’re triggered, your default patterns grab the mic. Integrated leadership means consulting all parts of yourself—your core type, wings, Tri-Type, and instincts—before making decisions.

Practical Tools from This Episode:

• Ask Yourself: What part of me is speaking right now? Is this voice strategic or protective?
• Consult All Three Centers of Intelligence: Your Tri-Type reveals how you dominate in the gut (instinctual), heart (feeling), and head (thinking) centers. Use this to balance your approach.
• Watch for Instinctual Hijacks: Your dominant instinct (self-preservation, one-on-one, or social) can either be your superpower or your blind spot. Learn to recognize when it’s running the show.
• Know Your Growth Path: Your Enneagram type’s growth number shows you what integration looks like. Use it as a guide to lead yourself with clarity and confidence.

You can have the best business model, the most talented team, and all the external success in the world, but if your internal boardroom is run by chaos, ego, and reactivity, eventually the whole thing cracks. True leadership starts with leading yourself—and the Enneagram is the ultimate power tool for doing just that.

This is what integrated leadership looks like, and it’s how you reclaim your edge.Connect with Me:

“Stop building from your patterns and start leading from your power. You’ve got an edge—let’s use it.”

Let’s fucking go!

You didn’t wake up one day and decide to play small, but somewhere along the way, you started shrinking—shrinking your truth, your voice, your edge. In this episode, I’m diving into what it really means to reclaim your edge, why you feel stuck, and how the Enneagram is the ultimate roadmap to break free from the patterns that are quietly keeping you stuck. This isn’t about surface-level fixes or cute personality labels. This is about integration, transformation, and calling your power back home.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why you’re not stuck because you’re weak—you’re stuck because you’re over-identifying with the protective patterns that once kept you safe.
• How the Enneagram reveals your default wiring, blind spots, and potential so you can stop looping in survival mode.
• The difference between exertion (stress) and expansion—and how to shift into the version of you that doesn’t need protection to feel powerful.
• Why your edge isn’t gone—it’s just buried under layers of protection, fear, and fatigue.
• How to use the Enneagram as a compass to reclaim your edge and lead yourself with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Key Takeaways:

1. Your Edge Isn’t Lost, It’s Buried: The habits, stories, and protective mechanisms you built to survive are now keeping you stuck. The Enneagram helps you identify these patterns and dismantle the cages you’ve built around yourself.
2. Superpower vs. Kryptonite: Every Enneagram type has a superpower, but it only works when it comes from love, compassion, and grace—not fear, insecurity, or ego. Understanding this is the key to stepping into your true power.
3. Exertion vs. Expansion: Exertion is the path your type takes under pressure—it’s not bad, but it’s a warning light. Expansion, on the other hand, is the version of you that doesn’t need protection to feel powerful. The Enneagram shows you how to shift from exertion to expansion.
4. Radical and Compassionate Honesty: To reclaim your edge, you have to be brutally honest with yourself about where you’re stuck—but without beating yourself up. Shame and judgment will only keep you looping in the same patterns.
5. Integration Over Information: Knowing your Enneagram type is cute, but embodying your highest expression is where the transformation happens. This is about using the Enneagram as a tool for integration, not just information.

“Your edge isn’t something you lost—it’s the part of you that was always meant to lead. Let’s get it back.”

Let’s fucking go!

Parenting is one of the most humbling, triggering, and rewarding experiences we’ll ever face—and it’s also where our own wiring, patterns, and blind spots show up the most. In this episode, I dive deep into how the Enneagram can transform not just your parenting, but your entire family dynamic. Whether you’re a parent, want to be one, or influence young lives in any way, this conversation will hit home. It’s not about being a perfect parent—it’s about being an honest, integrated one who empowers their children to be exactly who they were designed to be.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why parenting from your own wiring (instead of theirs) can feel like love to you but land as pressure, control, or disconnection to your kids.
• How the Enneagram provides a map to move from good intentions to impact that actually lands.
• My personal journey of breaking generational patterns, learning my kids’ Enneagram types, and transforming our family dynamic.
• The importance of understanding how your kids receive you—and how to take radical responsibility for your “come from.”
• Why it’s never too late to repair, redeem, and rewrite your parenting story.

Key Takeaways:

1. Parenting Through Their Lens: Your kids don’t need you to mold them into mini versions of you—they need you to meet them where they are. The Enneagram helps you understand their unique wiring, motivations, and fears so you can lead, guide, and nurture them in a way that truly resonates.
2. Your Superpower vs. Your Kryptonite: Every Enneagram type has a superpower, but it only works when it comes from love, compassion, and grace—not fear, insecurity, or ego. For me, my intensity as an Enneagram 8 is both my greatest strength and my biggest challenge.
3. The Power of Humility: The most powerful shift in my parenting came when I stopped pretending I had it all figured out and started showing my kids my humanity. Vulnerability builds trust, credibility, and connection.
4. It’s Never Too Late: Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or adults, repair and redemption are always possible. The Enneagram gives you the tools to start those conversations and rebuild trust.
5. Parenting is a Mirror: Your kids are here to teach you as much as you’re here to guide them. The ones who trigger you the most often hold the biggest lessons.

I share how I first encountered the Enneagram in rehab 13 years ago and how it became the tool that saved my family. I was parenting from my own lens—strong, tactical, and focused—but my kids, an Enneagram 2 empath and an Enneagram 7 dreamer, needed something completely different. Learning their wiring and adjusting my approach changed the culture in our home overnight. Today, my relationship with my kids is my greatest achievement, and it’s built on the foundation of seeing, hearing, and valuing them for who they truly are.What to Expect Moving Forward:

• How to use the Enneagram to understand your kids’ operating systems and speak their language.
• Why understanding your own wiring is the first step to becoming a more present, empowered parent.
• Practical tools for integrating the Enneagram into your parenting to create a legacy of connection, trust, and growth.

“Your kids aren’t here to be molded—they’re here to be met. And when you meet them with love, compassion, and understanding, you give them the greatest gift of all: the freedom to be exactly who they were designed to be.”

Let’s fucking go!

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.

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.

Welcome back, Legends! In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood yet CRUCIAL aspects of becoming a legend: the difference between transparency and vulnerability. Let’s be real—this isn’t just about sharing your story or being “open.” This is about understanding how to navigate the messy, raw, and real parts of life with discernment and courage.

I get it—vulnerability is scary as hell. And trust me, I’m living it in real time. From physical challenges (hello, wrist replacement surgery) to navigating the complexities of a blended family, financial curveballs, and spiritual tests, I’m in the trenches right now. But here’s the thing: legends don’t just rise—they rise with purpose, clarity, and connection. And that requires mastering the art of vulnerability.

This episode is packed with personal stories, actionable insights, and practical tools to help you discern when, where, and with whom to share your heart. Because misplaced vulnerability? It can cost you years, relationships, and peace of mind. But when done right, it’s the gateway to connection, growth, and the legendary life you’re meant to lead.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The critical difference between transparency and vulnerability—and why both matter.
• How to discern who deserves your vulnerability (and who doesn’t).
• Why misplaced vulnerability can lead to betrayal, burnout, and emotional walls.
• How the Enneagram can help you navigate your blind spots and build stronger connections.
• Practical tools for building your “vulnerability muscle” and creating a support system that lifts you higher.

Key Takeaways:

1. Transparency vs. Vulnerability: Transparency is sharing your story after the fact—it’s safe, polished, and builds credibility. Vulnerability, on the other hand, is raw, real, and happening in the moment. It’s messy, risky, and the birthplace of true connection.
2. Discernment is Everything: Not everyone deserves your vulnerability. Take inventory of your inner circle—who can hold space for you without judgment? Who has the capacity to support you even when they’re in their own struggles?
3. The Enneagram as a Roadmap: Your Enneagram type and tri-type can reveal your blind spots around vulnerability and help you navigate relationships with precision. It’s not just a personality test—it’s a tool for transformation.
4. Build Your Vulnerability Muscle: Start small, with trusted people, and gradually expand. Vulnerability is a practice, not a one-time event.

Practical Tools for Mastering Vulnerability:

• Create a Vulnerability Map: List the people in your life and categorize them—who gets transparency, who gets vulnerability, and who gets nothing.
• Test the Foundation: Observe how people respond to your transparency before diving into vulnerability. Trust is built over time.
• Leverage the Enneagram: Use your custom blueprint to understand your motivations, fears, and blind spots. Get yours at TracyO'Malley.com.
• Practice in Safe Spaces: Start with one or two trusted individuals and build from there. Vulnerability is a muscle—you’ve got to work it to strengthen it.

Quote of the Episode:

"Legends don’t just rise—they rise with purpose, clarity, and courage. And the biggest part of courage? Letting people support you and offer wise counsel."

Welcome back, Legends! After a transformative hiatus, I’m hitting record again—this time with a rebranded mission and a fire burning brighter than ever. This episode is all about stepping into your legendary self. We’re not here for fluffy self-help or surface-level Enneagram chatter. Nope, this is about the real, raw, and relentless journey of becoming a legend.

Legends aren’t born—they’re built. They rise, fall, and rise again, stronger, wiser, and more impactful every damn time. In this episode, I share the lessons from my own six-month spiritual sabbatical, the challenges I’ve faced, and the breakthroughs that have reignited my purpose. We’ll explore what it means to live, lead, and leave a legendary legacy, using the Enneagram as a powerful tool for transformation.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The difference between heroes, leaders, and legends—and why the world needs more legends.

• How the Enneagram serves as a navigation system for self-awareness, growth, and resilience.

• The importance of discernment and retreat in recalibrating your life and purpose.

• Why legends embrace adversity, face challenges head-on, and rise again with even more clarity and courage.

• Insights into my personal journey, including blending a family, navigating change, and stepping into a new season of life.

Key Takeaways:

• Legends Take the Hits: It’s not about avoiding adversity—it’s about facing it, learning from it, and rising stronger every time.

• The Power of the Enneagram: This isn’t just a personality tool, it’s a framework for transformation that helps you understand who the hell you are and how to navigate life’s challenges.

• Discernment is Key: Knowing when to step back, recalibrate, and listen to your inner wisdom is a hallmark of legendary living.

• This is Your Journey: Whether you’re leading a team, a family, or just yourself, the path to becoming a legend starts with leading yourself first.

Let’s Rise Together:
This is the year to step into your power and become the legend you were born to be. Let’s go!

In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of "The Elite Don't Wait in Line," a principle that applies both personally and professionally. Reflecting on my own experiences, including a six-month spiritual sabbatical, I discuss the importance of making space for the bigger, better things in life. Whether it's relationships, business opportunities, or personal growth, holding onto what isn't serving you can block the elite opportunities meant for you.

I share anecdotes about friends and clients who struggled with letting go of subpar relationships and business ventures, emphasizing that the best things won't wait around while you're preoccupied with the mediocre. I also touch on my own journey, including a dating sabbatical and the painful but necessary process of friendship divorces, to illustrate how making room for the elite can lead to incredible transformations.

In business, I talk about scaling back on certain commitments to be available for more aligned opportunities. I highlight the importance of building spiritual, emotional, and physical muscles to handle the discomfort of waiting for the right opportunities to manifest.

I also introduce the new direction for the podcast, "The Legends Journey," where I'll share insights on becoming a legend in your own right, interview people I consider legends, and explore the lives of legendary figures through the lens of the Enneagram and other tools.

I encourage listeners to take action, seek support if needed, and be ready for the elite opportunities that are waiting to enter their lives. If you're ready to become the legend you were meant to be, consider working with me for six months of deep, transformative coaching. Let's make room for the elite to show up in your life.

Hello, everyone. It's been a long time since I last recorded an episode, and today, I want to have a real conversation with you. Over the past four and a half years, I've released over 400 episodes, and I deeply appreciate your support and concern about the podcast's status.

I've been on a spiritual sabbatical for the past year, which has been a transformative experience. My word for the year was "Emerge," and while I initially intended to come out strong, life had other plans. This sabbatical has taught me a lot about what it means to truly emerge, and I've learned to embrace a softer, more powerful version of myself.

As an Enneagram 8, I'm used to being assertive and strong, but this period has shown me the strength in vulnerability. I've been doing incredible work with teams, organizations, and individuals, and I've also been focusing on my personal life, which has seen significant changes.

During this time, I've observed the online entrepreneurial and coaching space, and I've seen a lot of manipulative marketing. I want to offer something different—real, impactful work that truly benefits you. Moving forward, this podcast will focus on what it means to be legendary. We'll discuss the Enneagram, interview legends, and explore what makes them extraordinary.

I've been preparing for this new phase, including a rebranding effort that aligns with my true self. While I don't have a specific timeline for the new branding, I want to honor the journey that has brought me here.

Thank you for your patience and support. I'm excited and a bit nervous to share this new chapter with you. If you have any topics you'd like me to cover, feel free to reach out. Let's embark on this journey together and do the damn thing. And so it is.

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we dive deep into the dynamics of relationships, particularly between individuals with contrasting Enneagram types.

Our special guests, Kate and Aaron Howard, are a couple who embody the phrase "opposites attract," with Kate being an Enneagram Type 1 and Aaron a Type 7. They share their experiences of working with me and how understanding their Enneagram types has significantly improved their relationship and business ventures.

We discuss the challenges and benefits of their differing perspectives and how they've learned to navigate their partnership without "throat punching each other on the daily." Aaron, with his assertive and full-of-life Enneagram 7 traits, and Kate, with her meticulous and integrity-driven Enneagram 1 qualities, bring unique gifts to the table that, when harnessed correctly, create a powerful synergy.

The episode also touches on the importance of patience and delegation in business, especially for Enneagram Type 1s like Kate, who tend to strive for perfection and control. We explore how letting go and trusting others can lead to scaling a business and achieving a better quality of life.

Listeners get a sneak peek into what an Enneagram couple session looks like and gain insights into managing relationships with radically different partners. The Howards also introduce their new joint business venture, which leverages their strengths in social media and video marketing to help other entrepreneurs grow their brands.

If you're intrigued by the power of the Enneagram in relationships and business, or if you're considering a move to sunny Florida and need a realtor, Kate has the key. For those looking to enhance their social media presence, A. Howard Productions is the go-to resource.

In this solo episode of Lead with the Enneagram I dive into the significance of birthdays and self-celebration, particularly how my own upbringing shaped my reluctance to embrace such personal milestones.

I recount the stories of my birth and the mixed messages I received, which led to a lifelong journey of striving for perfection and approval, especially from my father. These narratives, while humorous in retrospect, left a profound impact on my self-perception and the way I viewed my own worth.

Despite the challenges, I've come to recognize the importance of celebrating oneself and the journey we've all undertaken. I discuss the power of the Enneagram as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery, likening it to a navigation system that has helped me map out my life and guide others in their journeys.

As I reflect on my life's path, I emphasize the value of understanding our biology and biography, recognizing patterns, and embracing every part of our journey. I encourage listeners to be honest, open, and willing as they step into their roles as legendary leaders.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my insights and experiences through the podcast and for the impact it has on listeners. As I celebrate another year of life, I reaffirm my commitment to helping others become the legendary leaders they were born to be.

Thank you for joining me on this special day and for allowing me to be a part of your journey toward embracing your true self.

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we dive deep into the practical applications of the Enneagram, particularly for those identifying as Type 7. Our special guest, Dr. Megan Daley, a self-preservation Enneagram 7 with a 748 tri-type, joins us to explore the nuances of living as a Type 7. We discuss the challenges and joys of being an Enneagram 7, from the desire for freedom and adventure to the tendency to avoid discomfort and pain.

Dr. Megan shares her personal story of pivoting careers multiple times, from a math degree to physical therapy, and eventually to coaching. She reflects on the importance of trusting oneself and the universe when making life-altering decisions, even when they seem counterintuitive to others.
We also delve into the significance of inner child work, particularly for those who have experienced childhood trauma or have been misunderstood. Dr. Megan opens up about her struggles with connecting to her inner child and seeking clarity on what her inner child truly needs.

Lastly, we touch on Dr. Megan's aspirations to host retreats and speak at events, focusing on self-care, self-forgiveness, and authenticity for high-achieving women. She aims to create intimate, transformative experiences that allow participants to reconnect with their playful, authentic selves and embark on a journey of healing from the inside out.

Our conversation today is particularly special as I chat with one of my favorite clients, Kaitlin Anthony, who is also an Enneagram 8. Kaitlin has the 837 tri-type, known as the mover and shaker, which embodies high achievement and assertiveness. Despite her success, Kaitlin opens up about the struggles and obstacles that come with her Enneagram type, particularly in parenting, business, and marriage.

We explore the challenges of connecting with loved ones who have different Enneagram types and the importance of slowing down and tapping into the softer energies of the Enneagram, such as types 2 and 9, to foster deeper connections. Kaitlin candidly shares her experiences and the lessons she's learned about vulnerability, patience, and the power of quiet growth.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand themselves better and lead with compassion and effectiveness. Whether you're an Enneagram 8 like us or just curious about the Enneagram, you'll find valuable insights and practical tips on how to use this tool to lead yourself and others more powerfully.

Remember, the journey of self-discovery and growth is ongoing, and the Enneagram is here to guide you every step of the way. Join us as we navigate the complexities of the Enneagram and transform our lives from the inside out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," we dive deep into the world of Enneagram Type 7s with our vibrant guest, Merilou DeLosSantos from New York. As your host, Tracy, I share my initial skepticism about the Enneagram and my journey to embracing it as a powerful tool for personal and professional development.

We explore the complexities of the Enneagram, particularly for those who identify as Type 7s, known for their enthusiasm and visionary qualities. Merilou, a self-preservation Enneagram 7 with a 728 tritype, joins us to discuss the challenges of discernment and alignment in her life, especially when faced with the allure of new and exciting opportunities.

Throughout our conversation, we touch on the importance of understanding the nuances of your Enneagram type, including the role of wings and how they can support your core type. We also delve into the concept of trauma bonding and how to navigate relationships and client interactions without falling into patterns of enabling or victimhood.

Merilou shares her aspirations for starting a podcast called "Doses of Her," aiming to empower women through discussions on transitions in relationships, careers, and entrepreneurship. We discuss the significance of asserting boundaries and the ongoing process of shedding relationships that no longer serve our growth.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to harness the power of their Enneagram type to lead a more fulfilling life. Whether you're a Type 7 or simply curious about the Enneagram, join us for an insightful and transformative conversation.

This week, we took a deep dive into the heart of entrepreneurship and the importance of playing the long game. I had the pleasure of chatting with my dear friend and business consultant coach, Jason Lew, who brought a wealth of knowledge and integrity to our candid conversation.

We tackled the often grueling reality of showing up on social media and the pressure to constantly feed the content monster. Jason and I discussed the temptation to chase quick wins and how it can lead us to forget that entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint. We explored the significance of staying true to ourselves and our values to create lasting transformation and the life we desire.

In a world obsessed with the Enneagram, I also shared my initial skepticism about this tool and how, over a decade later, it has profoundly impacted my life and work. From personal growth to building bulletproof leadership and sales teams, the Enneagram has been a game-changer. And while we didn't focus on the Enneagram much in this episode, the underlying principles of authenticity and self-awareness were ever-present.

Jason's insights into building a sustainable business without being a slave to social media algorithms were eye-opening. He emphasized the importance of nurturing relationships with potential clients over time and creating a business that aligns with who we are at our core.

In this episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," we're tackling the big question: What are you willing to lose to achieve what you want? It's about discerning true desires from shiny distractions and understanding the sacrifices necessary for authentic success.

I'll share my own journey of self-discovery, the tough choices I've made, and how the Enneagram has been a guiding light through it all. We'll discuss the importance of being transparent with ourselves, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the discomfort that comes with growth.
And because I love to keep it real, I'll share a personal mishap from this morning that reminded me to maintain perspective. Plus, I'll read a poignant piece from "The Book of Awakening" that beautifully captures the essence of today's message.

So, if you're ready to get real about your big dreams and callings, and you're not afraid of a little tough love, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I take you on a journey through the complexities and transformative power of the Enneagram, especially focusing on Type 8's path to vulnerability and strength.

Today's episode is particularly special as we delve into the "hotline" segment where listeners, who've been accurately typed by me, get to ask deeper questions about their Enneagram journey. Our guest, Talia, a vibrant Enneagram 8 like myself, shares her experiences from participating in one of my immersive retreats. Despite her initial skepticism about her type, Talia's story is a testament to the power of the Enneagram in uncovering our true selves.

We explore the challenges eights face in relationships, particularly the struggle with vulnerability and the tendency to test our partners. Talia and I discuss the importance of letting go of control and allowing ourselves to be supported, a lesson that's crucial for eights who crave intimacy yet fear betrayal.

Diving into the "five cave" phenomenon, we talk about the Enneagram 8's stress response and how it can lead to isolation and a false sense of security. I share insights on how to navigate this space with compassion and use it as an opportunity for growth rather than a place to hide.

Lastly, we touch on the balance between masculine and feminine energies, emphasizing the strength that comes from embracing both. Talia's upcoming children's book, which encourages boys to express their emotions, beautifully illustrates this balance and the importance of emotional literacy for all genders.

If you're an Enneagram 8, love one, or simply want to understand the dance between vulnerability and strength, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we unpack the layers of the Enneagram and learn to lead with authenticity and courage

Welcome to episode 400!!

Over the years, I've gone from being an Enneagram skeptic to integrating it deeply into my life and work. I've used it to build bulletproof leadership and sales teams, work with one-on-one clients, couples, and lead workshops for top executives around the world. The Enneagram has been a complex but powerful tool, and I'm here to guide you through it.

In this episode, I'll share personal stories and lessons learned throughout the journey of this podcast. From initially launching on New Year's Eve 2019 to navigating the changes the world has faced, including COVID and leadership shifts, it's been a wild ride.

I've celebrated personal milestones like falling in love after a seven-year sabbatical from dating, becoming an empty nester as my children have grown and built their own lives, and even going through painful friendship divorces. These experiences have taught me about growth, vulnerability, and staying true to oneself.

Professionally, I've had the honor of working with powerhouse companies like Google, Amazon, John Deere, YouTube, and Facebook. These opportunities have come because I've stayed true to my calling and worked tirelessly to serve others.Looking ahead, I feel a shakeup coming. There will be bold changes in how I show up online, the content of the podcast, and even possibly a new title. I'm in a cocoon phase, preparing for a transformation that will allow me to serve you with even more truth and guidance.

I'm grateful for each and every one of you who have joined me on this journey. Whether you've been here from the start or just found the podcast, know that I'm committed to nurturing, protecting, and guiding you through your own growth and transformation.

Here's to the next chapter, to episode 401 and beyond. I'm excited to continue this journey with you, sharing the messy, the miracles, and the magic of life through the lens of the Enneagram.

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we dive into the transformative power of the Enneagram in team building, both in professional and personal spheres. As your host, Tracy, I share my journey from being an Enneagram skeptic to a passionate advocate, using it to foster bulletproof leadership and sales teams, and to facilitate workshops for Fortune 100 executives.

We discuss the critical importance of team culture and the necessity of investing in your teams, especially in today's climate of budget constraints and remote working. I emphasize that culture isn't just a part of the team dynamic; it is the team dynamic. The Enneagram serves as a shared language and framework that can lead to authentic engagement, job satisfaction, increased productivity, and retention.

Throughout the episode, I highlight common pitfalls in team building, such as a one-size-fits-all approach, and how the Enneagram can help tailor strategies to individual team members' needs. By understanding each person's core desires, fears, and motivators, leaders can create a work environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

I also touch on the importance of leaders setting the example and fostering a culture of understanding, respect, and personal growth. Using the Enneagram, leaders can better manage their teams, communicate effectively, and provide development opportunities that align with each team member's growth path.

For those interested in integrating the Enneagram into their teams, I offer workshops and consulting services to help customize the approach to your specific needs. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or part of a corporate team, the Enneagram can be a game-changer in creating a harmonious and productive work environment.

In this episode of the Lead with the Enneagram, we dive deep into the world of setbacks with the incredible journalist and writer, Amy Shoenthal. As we're well into the new year, many of us find that our initial excitement for our goals has faded, and life's unexpected challenges have thrown us off course. Setbacks are a natural part of life, especially for those of us striving to do epic things in the world.

Amy, a writer for Forbes magazine and Harvard Business Review, brings her expertise and insights to the table, discussing her new book, "The Setback Cycle." This book is a timely resource for anyone looking to turn the less desirable parts of life into opportunities for growth and action.

We explore the four phases of the setback cycle: establish, embrace, explore, and emerge. Amy shares her personal journey through these phases, including her experiences with workplace challenges after maternity leave and how she redirected her ambition into a successful freelance writing career.

The conversation also touches on the Enneagram, particularly focusing on how understanding our Enneagram type can help us navigate setbacks. As an Enneagram 2, Amy discusses the struggle of asking for help and the importance of acknowledging one's own needs.

Listeners will find this episode to be a valuable tool for understanding setbacks and learning how to move through them with grace, class, and clarity. It's an episode you'll want to keep on speed dial, offering insights that are applicable both personally and professionally.

Remember, setbacks are not the end of the story; they can be the beginning of something magical. So let's embrace the messy middle, find our green light, and make the impact we desire in the world.

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, I dive into the transformative power of the Enneagram in both personal and professional spheres.

I explore the intersection of identity and business, particularly for entrepreneurs who are the face of their brand. I emphasize the importance of authenticity in branding and how understanding oneself through the Enneagram can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling business.

I also touch on the challenges of evolving identities, especially in the digital age where personal branding is crucial. The episode highlights the importance of knowing oneself deeply to navigate these changes without losing authenticity.

For those new to the Enneagram, I describe it as a map to your inner world, offering a framework for personal growth. I stress the importance of identifying your Enneagram type accurately and how it can serve as a roadmap for your soul.

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we dive deep into the practical applications of the Enneagram, particularly focusing on Type 2, the Considerate Helper. Our guest, Tisha, shares her journey from skepticism to embracing the Enneagram as a powerful tool for self-discovery and growth.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding Motivations: The Enneagram is more than a personality test; it's about understanding the 'why' behind our actions. For Type 2s, actions are often motivated by a desire for love and appreciation.
• Setting Boundaries: Type 2s tend to say 'yes' too quickly, leading to overcommitment. It's crucial for them to pause before agreeing to requests and consider if they would still say 'yes' without external validation.
• Navigating Relationships: Type 2s have a gift for intuitively understanding others' needs, but they must learn to communicate their own needs clearly to build authentic and supportive relationships.
• Dealing with Stress: Under stress, Type 2s can exhibit traits of an unhealthy Enneagram 8, becoming confrontational. Recognizing this pattern can help them address the underlying issues of feeling unappreciated or resentful.
• Embracing Individuality: Growth for Type 2s involves embracing their individuality (Enneagram 4 traits) and prioritizing self-care to avoid burnout and serve others from a place of fullness.
• COVID-19 Reflections: The pandemic provided an unexpected opportunity for Type 2s to focus on themselves, highlighting the importance of maintaining personal space and self-care routines.

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, I discuss the significance of self-awareness and the beauty of the Enneagram when used correctly. I touch upon the common theme of self-understanding that has emerged in my recent interactions with mastermind groups and high-level entrepreneurs. I caution against using the Enneagram to force change rather than finding a natural flow and the importance of approaching the typing process with openness and patience.

I also address the concerns of those who use the Enneagram in their businesses or coaching practices, stressing the need for integrity and depth in the typing process. I highlight the potential pitfalls of online quizzes and assessments and the value of having a guide to navigate the complexities of the Enneagram.

As I look forward to 2024, I am excited about creating a certification mentoring program for those who wish to use the Enneagram in their work with integrity and depth. I invite you to explore the Enneagram further and reach out to me.

Remember to embrace the messiness of the journey, to be gentle with yourself, and to recognize the miracles that can emerge from the process.

In this insightful episode of the Lead with the Enneagram podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Emily Helderman, a licensed therapist who discovered that her true Enneagram type was not what she initially thought. Despite being labeled as an Enneagram 3 by many, Emily's journey led her to realize she is actually a Social Enneagram 2. We delved deep into the nuances of overgiving, people-pleasing, and the motivations behind helping others.

Key Takeaways:

• The Misidentification of High-Achieving Women: We discussed how high-achieving women, like Emily, are often mistyped on the Enneagram, particularly when it comes to distinguishing between types 2 and 3.
• The Enneagram as a Growth Tool: I shared my own skepticism-turned-advocacy for the Enneagram and how it can be applied effectively in personal and professional settings.
• The Journey of Self-Discovery: Emily opened up about her initial resistance to being a type 2 and how she came to embrace her true type through self-reflection and understanding her core motivations.
• The Challenge of Boundaries: We explored the difficulty Enneagram 2s face in setting emotional boundaries and the guilt associated with not always being able to help.
• Playing Small: Emily candidly discussed the ways she has played small in her career and personal life, and how recognizing this pattern is the first step towards change.
• The Importance of Vulnerability: We touched on the importance of vulnerability for growth, especially for type 2s, who may struggle with asking for help and expressing their needs.
• The Role of Sad Stories: Emily questioned whether her attachment to her "sad story" was holding her back from fully stepping into her potential and serving others without ego.

In this episode, we'll explore why people tend to give up on their goals so early in the year and how each Enneagram type might struggle with sticking to their resolutions. From the perfectionist tendencies of Type 1s to the fear of vulnerability that challenges Type 8s like myself, we'll delve into the unique motivations and fears that can lead each type to quit.

But it's not all about the challenges. I'll also share strategies for overcoming the urge to quit, emphasizing the importance of compassion for oneself. The Enneagram provides us with a roadmap to understanding our core fears and motivations, which is crucial when we find ourselves wanting to throw in the towel.

If you're ready to break the cycle of quitting and truly commit to your goals, remember that the journey is where the magic happens. It's about the people we meet, the challenges we face, and the growth we experience along the way.

For those seeking a more hands-on approach, I offer VIP coaching to help you navigate these challenges and make lasting changes. With only two spots left, now is the time to take action and ensure this year is different.

So, if you're tired of quitting on yourself and your dreams, join me on this journey of transformation with the Enneagram as our guide. Together, we can make Quitter's Day a thing of the past.

In this episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," we dive deep into the world of Enneagram Threes, particularly those with a self-preservation instinct like our guest, Laurel Boylan. We explore how the Enneagram can be applied to family dynamics, especially in a household as diverse as Laurel's, with six different Enneagram types under one roof. I offer practical advice on how to communicate effectively with each type, emphasizing the importance of understanding their core motives and fears.

Laurel and I discuss the challenges of overcoming a scarcity mindset, particularly around money, and the shame that can accompany it. I highlight the significance of meeting these fears with compassion rather than trying to eliminate them, and the power of nurturing our inner child's emotions to foster growth and change.

We also touch on the concept of flow and how operating at a higher frequency of gratitude and compassion can unblock blessings and create a sense of fulfillment that hard work alone cannot achieve.

In this episode, I reflect on a transformative trip I took with a group of seven other women to a small island in Mexico. This journey was a follow-up to last week's discussion about the importance of support and love in our lives, and it turned out to be a profound experience of vulnerability and growth for me.

As an Enneagram 8, known for seeking power and control within a group, I consciously approached this trip with the intention to receive as much as to give. Surrounded by four other Enneagram 8s, two Enneagram 2s, one Enneagram 7, and one Enneagram 5, I found myself in a dynamic where, despite our intense and assertive nature, none of the 8s felt the need to take over. This was a testament to the trust we had in each other and the leadership of our Enneagram 7 friend who planned the trip.

Each of us brought different tri-types to the table, which influenced our interactions and personal growth. Despite our shared motivations for independence, autonomy, and control, we each displayed our unique ways of dealing with anger and leveraging our heart and thinking centers of intelligence.

During the trip, I was particularly mindful of not falling into my usual role of the rescuer, allowing myself to be vulnerable and open to receiving support. This was challenging, especially given my past experiences with betrayal and hurt from other women. However, I was determined not to let my spiritual gifts block my own blessings.

Tune in to hear more and the lesson I received from a Mayan Prophet during our van ride!

In this episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," host I discuss the importance of having a support system and community in our lives. Building a support system can be challenging, especially for introverts like me. However, I stress the significance of having people around us who can love us, hold us accountable, and help us achieve our goals.

The episode also delves into the concept of vulnerability and the fear associated with it. I emphasize the importance of being vulnerable and exposing our weaknesses in order to receive the support we need. I discuss the difference between transparency and vulnerability, highlighting the need for real-time vulnerability where we share our current struggles and ask for help.

I also touch on the clutter that can exist in our relationships and the need to clear the path for the kind of support we desire. I share how I have had to end friendships to make room for new, supportive relationships. I encourage you to assess their own relationships and determine if they are hindering or supporting their growth.

In this episode of the Lead with the Enneagram podcast, we had an enlightening conversation with Amy Bartko, an Enneagram 7, who shared her experiences with the overcommitment cycle and how the Enneagram has helped her navigate through it. Amy's story is a testament to the power of the Enneagram in creating long-term freedom and choices, which is especially significant for Enneagram 7s like her.

We delved into the complexities of the Enneagram and how it can be applied to both personal and professional life. I shared my own journey from skepticism to embracing the Enneagram, and how it has transformed my approach to leadership, sales, and relationships.

Amy and I discussed the challenges of being an Enneagram 7, such as the tendency to say "yes" to too many things and the struggle with feeling boxed in. We also touched on the importance of delegation and the value of giving people grace, recognizing that not everyone operates the same way.

We explored Amy's tri-type, 7-4-9, and how it influences her work in high-level influencer and celebrity marketing. The combination of visionary thinking, empathy, and a nonjudgmental approach makes her uniquely effective in her field.

Amy asked insightful questions about how to lean into her Enneagram type for greater success and how to identify and work with different Enneagram types in her life. We discussed the significance of pausing before committing, the value of asking questions, and the importance of understanding the motivations of others.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in using the Enneagram as a tool for personal growth and better communication. Whether you're an Enneagram 7 or not, you'll find valuable insights into understanding and leading the people in your life.

As we step into 2024, it's time to reflect on our goals and intentions. But before we charge ahead, I want to talk about the importance of taking a pause. This isn't about inaction; it's about intentional reflection to ensure our goals align with our true selves.

I've been where you are, skeptical of the Enneagram, but now, with over a decade of experience, I've seen its transformative power in my life and the lives of others. Whether it's personal growth, family dynamics, or professional leadership, the Enneagram has been a guiding light.

In this episode, we'll explore why pausing is crucial before setting goals. It's not just about what you want to achieve but understanding the core motives and fears that drive you. The Enneagram can help you identify these, ensuring your goals are genuinely yours, not influenced by external comparisons or pressures.

I'll share personal anecdotes, like my powerful full moon sound bowl healing session and a deep conversation with friends, to illustrate the importance of digging deeper into our desires. It's about knowing who you are, which many of us struggle with. The Enneagram has been my tool for self-discovery, and it can be yours too.

If you're ready to start the year with clarity and purpose, I encourage you to explore the Enneagram Blueprint. It's a highly accurate assessment that can provide you with the right information to navigate your journey. With this knowledge, you can leverage your strengths, be aware of your blind spots, and take action that aligns with your true self.

Remember, growth is uncomfortable, but with the Enneagram as your compass, you can stay on track, even when the path gets rocky. Let's make 2024 a transformative year together.

Today we're exploring the power of choosing a theme word for the year.

This past year has been a rollercoaster for me, filled with grief, challenges, and a lot of personal growth. I've learned the importance of not bypassing the hard feelings and truly going through the process to grow. Despite having a strong network of resources, I've realized the necessity of facing my struggles head-on.


I recently had a transformative weekend with a close friend and strategist, which helped me start to emerge from my cocoon season. We discussed the concept of a theme word and how it can serve as a North Star through life's ups and downs. After much reflection and consideration, I've chosen "emerge" as my word for 2024. It signifies my readiness to step into new beginnings and embrace the next stage of my life.

In this episode, I guide you through the process of choosing your word. It involves a compassionate acknowledgment of the past year's highs and lows, brainstorming with trusted friends or mentors, and considering your personal and professional life holistically.

I encourage you to reflect on your Enneagram type, core fears, and blind spots when selecting your word. This self-awareness will help you stay grounded and focused throughout the year.

Thank you for your support in 2023, and I look forward to growing together in 2024. Remember to share your theme word with me, and let's make this year transformative.

In this episode I am talking all about goal setting! As we're in the week of setting goals for the new year, I want to guide you through goal setting for 2024 using the Enneagram lens. This episode is particularly special as we celebrate the four-year anniversary of the podcast.

Today, we'll dive into how each Enneagram type can set goals effectively, avoiding common pitfalls and leveraging their unique strengths. We'll also discuss the importance of integrating this knowledge for true transformation, because as I always say, information doesn't equal transformation.Enneagram Insights for Goal Setting

• Type 1 (Reformer): Aim for realistic and flexible goals. Balance self-improvement with self-acceptance.
• Type 2 (Helper): Prioritize self-honoring and self-care. Set boundaries and focus on personal achievements.
• Type 3 (Achiever): Balance goals with personal life. Set goals that aren't necessarily measurable and go beyond external validation.
• Type 4 (Individualist): Embrace unique personal goals and avoid comparison with others.
• Type 5 (Investigator): Incorporate social and emotional goals. Overcome analysis paralysis and balance knowledge with action.
• Type 6 (Loyalist): Address fear and anxiety. Build a supportive network and trust in your decision-making.
• Type 7 (Enthusiast): Prioritize and focus on key goals. Manage impulsiveness and embrace depth over excitement.
• Type 8 (Challenger): Balance assertiveness with collaboration and vulnerability.
• Type 9 (Peacemaker): Overcome inertia and passive resistance. Assert your own needs and prioritize personal goals.

Common Challenges

• Balancing ambition with mental health and wellness.
• Maintaining flexibility in goal setting.
• Recognizing the right to change your mind about your goals.

Remember, the Enneagram is not just about understanding ourselves but also about leveraging who we are designed to be. If you're new to the Enneagram or my podcast, I encourage you to listen to previous episodes for a deeper understanding.

In this vulnerable and heartfelt episode, I sit down with my dear friend Aisha Marshall, a social Enneagram 3, to discuss the necessary parts of going into cocoon season in order to emerge as the best version of ourselves.

Cocoon season is an unpredictable phase of self-exploration and unlearning unhealthy patterns. It varies for each individual, and there is no specific timeline or step-by-step guide to navigate it. We emphasize that cocoon season is disruptive and uncomfortable. It requires you to confront your coping mechanisms and address the pain that led to your development. Many people resist or rush through cocoon season due to its challenging and painful nature.

We also explore the misconception that Enneagram 3s have it easy and we dive into the hidden costs and challenges they face. Whether you're an Enneagram 3 or someone who loves or leads them, this episode offers important insights and information.

Join us as we navigate the journey from cocoon to butterfly season.

In this episode, I am speaking with Jennifer Staats, a fellow Enneagram 8, about the power of vulnerability in our homes and in the world. We discuss the challenges faced by strong, independent women who are wearing many hats in their lives.

Jennifer clarifies the misconception that vulnerability is synonymous with transparency. She explains that vulnerability is a lifelong lesson and emphasizes the importance of practicing it, particularly during moments of weakness, betrayal, or violation.

Jennifer also acknowledges the challenges that Enneagram 8 personalities face in embracing vulnerability, as they tend to second-guess others' motives and prefer isolation to avoid being betrayed or put in vulnerable situations. However, she highlights that true strength lies in vulnerability, compassion, and empathy.

The episode goes beyond personal relationships and emphasizes the significance of vulnerability in making connections in the wider world. We stress that developing the ability to be vulnerable can only be achieved through relationships with others, even though it may be intimidating for Enneagram 8 personalities who fear betrayal and violation.

Understanding and integrating information is crucial for personal growth and preventing negative outcomes. In this episode, I am diving into the significance of using information and integrating it into your life. By doing so, you can develop a compassionate perspective towards yourself and make necessary adjustments before negative consequences arise. I encourage you to approach yourself with compassion, and understand that compassion is the key to effectively utilizing personal development tools. Without compassion, negative patterns and behaviors will persist. While the Enneagram can expedite the transformation process, it requires embracing discomfort. By taking compassionate action and breaking these cycles, you can prevent negative outcomes and lead a more fulfilling life.

The Enneagram is a powerful tool that helps individuals understand themselves and their core Enneagram type with compassion. By comprehending their core motives and fears, you can have personal transformation. The Enneagram enables individuals to recognize that the expression of their Enneagram type can change, but at its core, it provides a deep understanding of who they are. This episode emphasizes that the Enneagram is not about stereotypes or fun memes, but rather about self-understanding and using this understanding as a guide for personal growth. The Enneagram can be applied in all aspects of life, both personally and professionally. Unlike other personal development tools that focus on behaviors, the Enneagram is rooted in core motives and fears. Online assessments for determining Enneagram types are often inaccurate as they primarily focus on behaviors rather than the underlying reasons behind individuals' actions. The episode also discusses the importance of understanding vices, which are protective mechanisms that arise from core motives and fears, in order to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and facilitate personal growth.

In this episode, we dive deep into the dynamics of the Enneagram and how it impacts your life, career, and relationships with special guest Rebecca Cafiero. An ex-corporate VP of sales turned best selling author, podcaster, and nationally recognized business expert. Rebecca empowers entrepreneurs just like you to put a spotlight on your superpowers so you can step into becoming the expert you’re meant to BE.

We discuss the importance of understanding the different needs and strengths of participants as a facilitator and mentor. By gaining insights into motivations, fears, behaviors, and how individuals show up, the facilitator can effectively connect people based on their strengths and areas of growth. This understanding allows for the creation of a win-win situation, where each participant can benefit and contribute in their own unique way.

Understanding the different needs and strengths of others is crucial for creating a supportive and collaborative environment. The episode emphasizes the importance of curating accountability partners and organizing retreats to facilitate personal and professional growth. By understanding each participant's unique strengths and needs, you can foster collaboration and connection among others, leading to opportunities for mutual support and collaboration.
