Its Q&A time on The Enneagram Journey!

Suzanne and Joel sat down to record today's episode at The Micah Center and decided at the last moment to turn on the camera. Having the camera on contributed to the conversation about seeing a therapist and accountability, and the show just takes off from there.

Some of the things you'll here in this episode:

• A question about a 7 and 5 relationship
  • this leads to some subtype talk
• What needs to fall away when you go to therapy?
• Enneagram 6s and Trust
  • Are 6s the most controlling personality?
• A 4 and 5 parenting adult children
• A great Chuck Knoblauch joke that Suzanne talked over
• aaaaand more!

"Tell me what you want, and I'll tell you whether or not I can give it to you."

The Enneagram and Relationships

October 4-5, Charleston, SC, with Suzanne Stabile

Join Suzanne for her final travel teaching of 2024 in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. We don't know anyone who can combine enneagram wisdom with relationships better than Suzanne. She needs her own weekly radio show to be honest!

lifeinthetrinityministry.com/charleston

Today's Intro:

• Scrubs (S3, E9)
• South Park (S19, E1)
• The Enneagram Journey Podcast
• Eric Nadel (The Texas Rangers Radio Network)

This is the first episode of an anticipated 10 Episode series over the next year, that we're really excited for! You have most likely heard about the LTM Cohort program on the podcast, and what better way to talk about it then to follow along with 3 Cohort members?

On today's show, meet Enneagram One Darnell Young.

She has always been interested in the behavior of others and the motivation behind people's behavior. In being introduced to the Enneagram, Darnell felt the tool put a name, or number, to how she viewed people. She loves to share information with others to bring them to awareness of themselves and others around them.

In the next couple of episodes listeners will also meet Matt and Alex from the 2024 Enneagram Cohort.

If you're interested in applying for the LTM Cohort program, there is still time to apply for the 2024 Leading Change Cohort, and the dates, expectations, and application for the 2025 program will open up in the Spring!

Part 2 of 2

Billy is back for more!

Suzanne and Billy are diving into Repressed Centers of Intelligence today, as well as, how can each enneagram number best communicate with their kid’s teachers?

• The Process vs. Progress

• Responding vs. Reacting

“Doing the next right thing is sometimes followed by the word, ‘now’.”

“The delivery of the message is equally as important as the content of the message.”

Billy in some form or fashion has been studying the enneagram under Suzanne since he was 19! Now 40, married to Joey Schewee (enneagram 8), raising 2 boys and working on his doctorate at UTD, Billy shares how he utilizes what he has learned as a parent, an educator, and an administrator.

Welcome Meredith McDaniel to The Enneagram Journey!

Meredith is a wife, mom, author, and therapist from North Carolina.

She and Suzanne talk about her new book, In Want and Plenty, which was released in January 2020, and what her life and relationships are like from the lens of an enneagram 4. 

They talk about so much including:

• Does God give us more than we can handle?
• Life as a 4 married to an enneagram 7.
• Disappointment 
• Discernment
• Spontaneity vs. Surprise
• And more of course!

You can find out more about Meredith and her practice at www.milkandhoneycounseling.com

"I really used to believe that in order for other people to want to have anything to do with God, that I had to pretend like I had it all together. Im from the South, and we do that really well."

- Meredith McDaniel

Our good friends Brad and Noelle join Suzanne on The Journey today to talk about their relationship, their family, and how they have navigated life over the past 15 years as an Enneagram 7 and 4.

The first half includes a lot of good enneagram stance talk and great discussion on the Head and the Heart and that disconnect in their relationship.

"We realized that we don't know how to argue. He is very good at arguing, and I'm very good at retreating." - Noelle

The second half of the show the Otts share their joys and struggles in building a family. The discussion includes discernment, they're experiences with therapy, and tools and advise for other parents going through tough seasons.

“...learning how to have the freedom within messy trauma to re-write the script of how things are supposed to look.”

Dr. Barbara Rila joined Suzanne at the Micah Center in front of a small audience to talk about Trauma, Adoption, and the Enneagram, so we went ahead and recorded it to share. This is Part 1 of either 2 or 3 where Suzanne and Barbara introduce themselves and why they're having the discussion and then tackle the topic of Trauma.

Stephanie joins Suzanne and Joel on The Enneagram Journey to talk about life growing up as a 5 and daughter of a Marine who had to move a lot. She sheds some light on having a 4 wing, how she discovered her number, and what it has been like learning and growing with her stress and security numbers.

Suzanne and Stephanie also talk some about Enneagram Subtypes. If you're interested in learning more about subtypes, visit www.lifeinthetrinityministry.com and use the promo code "72" at checkout to get the Enneagram Subtypes mp3 for $20. (code is good through the end of the year).

Enjoy today's conversation, and we hope to see you at an upcoming event!

After a small break we are back!

Feedback has been that you love the episodes that feature Suzanne answering your questions, so that is what we are going to start "season 3"? with!

Can we discover our children's orientation to time and what can we do with that? Is my husband a 5 or an 8? And lets discuss being a stay at home mom who is a 3 and wondering about her movements in stress and security. Also, enneagram 6, Lindsay O'connor joins the Journey to talk about anxiety and Suzanne breaks down what all enneagram personalities get anxious about.

2020 is just around the corner and that means a whole new season of live workshops and events. Suzanne, Joe, and LTM hope to see you at an upcoming event in Virginia, Tennessee, Colorado, Georgia, or their home of Texas!

We are lighting a candle for you and your Journey here at the Micah Center!

Leslie Bley, enneagram 6, is on The Journey with Suzanne in today's episode!

“It is a particular gift of yours regardless of what is happening in the room, to lead people back to the middle.” Suzanne to Leslie

"One of the reasons its so important to me that people learn the enneagram, because you get to CHOOSE a reaction. And when you don’t know the enneagram, it so often chooses you."

“For 6s, there’s something scary about hope, and there’s something scary about change.” Leslie

“Duty is why I’m brave.” Leslie

Married to Kevin who is an enneagram 9, and mother to twin boys, Leslie is a therapist who lives in Austin, TX. This episode discusses so many topics including the enneagram in therapy, duty vs. desire, and lots of good discussion and distinctions within the Dependent Stance.

Hope you can join Suzanne live in Dallas or online on November 22 for Holidays and the Enneagram! Visit www.lifeinthetrinityministry.com for more information and registration.

Meet some of the members of LTM's first online Enneagram Journey Curriculum group!

Suzanne and Joel talk with Chelsea (8), Jennifer (4), Maria (2), Marty (2), Hillary (2), Matt (6), and Ronna (8) in today's episode about how they found each other and what the Journey has been like so far.

Then the conversation evolved into a discussion about where we find our shadow side and false self in enneagram work, the greatness of the Barbie movie, spiral dynamics, and the importance of intergenerational learning.

If you don't have a group yet, find one! Create one! Join one! You've heard it over and over again, one of the mottos of LTM and The Micah Center is, "A place for solitary work that cannot be done alone."

LTM will be starting a few new small groups in 2024, and the information for the 2025 Cohort program will be available soon!

Enneagram 3, husband, and father of two beautiful girls, Sean Palmer is on today's episode of The Enneagram Journey! (He is also a pastor, speaker, writer)

This episode is full of so many great sound bites:

"3s don't cut corners. We find efficiencies."

"Why is the investment in who we are and what we believe so low?"

"How many people I have talked to who are married to 1s, and how deeply they love them, but don't understand the 1s feelings about themselves."

This episode also holds some great content about enneagram stances, orientation to time, and how we all deal with failure.

Good luck on Your Journey!

Have you taken a test to find out your enneagram number? Did it turn out to be incorrect? Craig Nash is one of MANY people who has had this experience and he shares it on today's episode of The Enneagram Journey!

This episode is a little bit Enneagram and a whole lot of Journey! Suzanne and Brian continue their conversation that was recorded at Lemuria Bookstore in Jackson, Mississippi. 

Coming to you from Lemuria Bookstore in Jackson, Mississippi! It's The Enneagram Journey with Suzanne Stabile and special guest and friend, Brian McLaren!!

Brian and Suzanne have taught together in the past, and their warmth for one another is evident in the podcasts. If you want to know more about Brian though, here is a lot of great biographical information pulled from brianmclaren.net:

Brian D. McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good. He is a faculty member of  The Living School, which is part of the Center for Action and Contemplation, and he co-leads the Common Good Messaging Team, which is part of Vote Common Good. He is also an Auburn Senior Fellow and a leader in the Convergence Network, through which he has developed an innovative training/mentoring program for pastors, church planters, and lay leaders called Convergence Leadership Project. He works closely with the Wild Goose Festival, the Fair Food Program‘s Faith Working Group, and Progressive Christianity.

(Spring 2022).

You have probably heard more about Carolyn Teel from Suzanne over the years than will be in this podcast episode, but it is long overdue that you hear from Carolyn herself!

Carolyn is an Enneagram 5 and Suzanne's oldest friend. You get to hear how they have made their relationship work as an extrovert 2 and an introvert 5 over the past 50 plus years.

Their conversation goes back to when they had to use a microphone pointed at a record player for the drill team to perform to! Also, we hope you enjoy an intro from Joey Schewee as she talks about the gifts and love that Carolyn has shown her over the years.

This is an episode for everyone! Not just enneagram 1s, or 2s, or 7s, or people interested in learning about diet culture, or people who want to hear about SNAP, or people who want to learn about Belief Systems, or people struggling with shame, or people dealing with their body image....you see where we are going with this.

Get to know Enneagram Ones, Casey Bonano RD, LD, CEDRD, and Whitney Stabile MS, LPC-S, CEDS and hear about their Enneagram Journeys.

If you want to reach out to Whitney you can find her at www.bravehavencounseling.com and you can reach out to Casey at www.dallasnutritionalcounseling.com

Good luck on your Journey!!

Meet Enneagram 9, Susan Robb!

A former Kilgore Rangerette and Baylor Bear, mother of 2, and wife of Ike Robb (enneagram 1), Susan was called to seminary when her kids were in elementary school. Susan and Suzanne discuss Calling and what that can cost, but also what it's worth. She has been on staff at Highland Park United Methodist Church now for 18 years.

They discuss her book, Called: Hearing and Responding to God's Voice, the gifts that Enneagram Nines have to offer the rest of us, shame and guilt, and of course much more.

This is a very special episode! Unlike previous podcasts, today's episode is the introduction (first hour) of Suzanne and Joe's workshop, Spiritual Practices and the Enneagram. As it was being edited, it was incredible how many of your questions get answered in the first hour. It was too great not to share!

The hour includes some enneagram introductory information, enneagram history, some next step wisdom. Suzanne addresses trauma, Joe reaches out to Spiritual Directors and Clergy. What is Essence, and why should we do soul work or participate in Spiritual Practices? The 3 Centers of Intelligence, Enneagram Triads, Enneagram Stances, and, and, and!

We hope you grow from this podcast, and if you are interested in hearing the rest of the workshop, it will be available at lifeinthetrinityministry.com and suzannestabile.com beginning July 15th!

Welcome to The Journey! Let's grow deeper together!

If you haven't met Melissa Radke yet, then you are in for a real treat! Author, star of the new USA reality show The Radkes, wife and mother of 2, and enneagram 7, Melissa joins Suzanne on the show today.

One of the best parts of the conversation is hearing about when and how Melissa decided she was "worth the work". Like Melissa, have you ever been told you're "just too much"? They also discuss dealing with grief, they talk about faith, and about growing older.

Enjoy the podcast and after listening be sure to visit melissaradke.com to learn more about Melissa, her family, the show, and her books!

Ann and Caroline have been on a Journey that has included the Enneagram for 7 years now after they attended Suzanne's workshops back in 2012. A lot of people think that 4s and 8s have much in common, and many believe that they are soooooo different. This podcast addresses both sides and talks about how their relationship has evolved as they've grown. What are the differences in parenting young children and adult children? And though he didn't know it, Loren, Ann's husband and Caroline's father, an enneagram 9, gets caught in the conversation's cross hairs as well! 

There is so much gold from both the parent and daughter angle, about both the aggressive and withdrawing stance, someone who deals so much with shame and someone who deals often with anger. I hope you, and your family and friends can glean as much from it as I did!

"Marriage has taught me that two people can experience reality in two very different ways." - Josh Graves

Welcome Josh Graves, preaching and teaching minister at Otter Creek Church in Nashville, TN and author of The Simple Secret: Choosing Love in a Culture of Hostility, and an Enneagram 3.

You probably know Jeremy and Audrey from the hit T.V. show Little People Big World, but as we discuss in this conversation, that isn't what defines them. You may also have read their new book, A Love Letter Life, but that doesn't define their future either! Jeremy, an Enneagram 9, past oriented and an immovable object, and Audrey, Enneagram 8, future oriented and an unstoppable force talk about their relationship, what they are doing to grow a healthy loving life together, and how they're encouraging others to do the same.

This is a good one!

Get to better know Marty Dalton:

I love Luke Norsworthy, but to say this is an Enneagram 7 Episode would be such an injustice.

In this episode we talk about mystery and faith, spiritual practices and enneagram stances, repressed centers, how Threes Sixes and Nines can be repressed and dominant in the same center, parenting, and answering other questions from the audience. And all of this with the joy and flare of 2 Sevens and a super extroverted Two!

Go grab your copy of God Over Good, come see me at an upcoming conference or event, and leave your comments and a review on iTunes!

Thank you Luke, and everyone who joined us. Definitely an episode that you will want to listen to more than once!

This is what you get when you have a great interview, with an enneagram 7, and a live audience! 

Enjoy Part 1 of Suzanne's conversation with Enneagram 7, Luke Norsworthy. You may know Luke from his podcast, Newsworthy With Norsworthy, and you will definitely want to go out and buy or check out his new book, God Over Good.

Luke's wife Lindsey is an Enneagram 1, and they live in Austin with their 3 beautiful daughters.

This podcast was recorded at The Micah Center in Dallas in front of a small audience on October 18th.

Enjoy!

Today's podcast is Part 2 of the conversation with Enneagram 6, Jamie Ivey. Suzanne, Jamie, and Joel dive into a few of the themes of Jamie's book, If You Only Knew.

Be sure to check out Jamie's podcast, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey also!

Jamie Ivey is passionate about following wherever Jesus takes her, loving her husband, and trying to be the best mom she can be to the four cutest kids in the world. She loves reading great books, vacationing at the beach, speaking to women, date nights, and could easily eat TexMex three times a day.  She lives in Austin Texas with her husband Aaron (worship pastor at The Austin Stone) and their crazy kids. You can find her blogging about parenting, marriage, adoption & faith at her website JamieIvey.com. Jamie also hosts a weekly podcast, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey, where she chats with a new guest each week about the big things in life, the small things in life, and everything in between.

This episode was so great we had to break it into 2!

Meet Jamie Ivey!

Jamie is a podcaster, writer, and speaker from Austin, Texas. She is the proud mama of four kids and the wife of Aaron, worship pastor of The Austin Stone Community Church. Jamie loves to encourage women to passionately follow Jesus through whatever stage of life. She does this through writing and her weekly podcast, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey. Her book, If You Only Knew released in January of 2018.

Jamie and Suzanne talk about shame and the church, Sixes and fear, and how Sevens and Sixes process their fears differently.

Parenting, relationships with fans and followers, and her book If You Only Knew are some of the topics discussed over the next two episodes!

So great to have LeaAnn on the podcast!

LeeAnn has been in the Enneagram Apprentice program with Suzanne for the past 3 years and has done a lot of work! It is so great to hear someone from the feeling repressed stance talk about their need to bring up feelings. 

Suzanne and LeeAnn dive into orientation to time and what the downside of being oriented to the future is, and what it may mean to be able to have some balance in that area. What are some of the things that she has missed out on because of her "7ness"? And, what advice would she give to someone in relationship with a 7?

All of that is discussed and so much more!

We hope you enjoy their conversation, and if you think the podcast deserves a 5 star rating, then leave one and a review wouldn't hurt either!

Very cool episode this week!

This week we get to hear a lot of great information on the differences between 2s and 9s. Also, about two different dynamics: the working relationship between Joe and Hunter, and more on the relationship between Joe and Suzanne.

If you are going into ministry, you'll want to stick around until the end when Joe and Hunter share some advice of what they've learned about themselves and what they wish they knew when they first entered ministry.

EXCITING NEWS!

Suzanne will be teaching The Enneagram: Movement to Stress and Security in Dallas on November 19th and 20th, and it will be streamed live online, so you can join in from all around the world for only $30!

This is part one of two of Suzanne's conversation with Enneagram 8, Tony Jones. Tony jokingly second guesses his enneagram number in the beginning of today's show, but as each minute passes, you'll be able to laugh harder at the idea of him not being an 8!

People sometimes have a difficult time hearing the truth from 8s, but Tony does a great job of laying it all out there in this episode on behalf of his fellow 8s.

Tony Jones is the author of Did God Kill Jesus? Searching for Love in History’s Most Famous Execution, theologian, and speaker. He is a leading figure in the emerging church movement and in postmodern Christianity.
