E58: Enneagram Wings Explained: Dominant Wing vs Balanced Wings, Mistypes, and Real-Life Examples

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 04:00:13 +0000

Ahead of a planned trip to California, Tannah and Holly (both IEQ9-certified Enneagram coaches) open with travel prep, family banter, and a reminder that Enneagram type is about core motivation, not just behavior highlighting how wings can contribute to mistypes (e.g., a person “giving seven vibes” but testing as an eight). They unpack what wings are (only the adjacent numbers) and outline three common wing theories: one dominant wing for life, wings shifting across life stages, or using both wings equally (as an integration goal). Using personal and coaching examples, they discuss how wings show up across the types, including perfectionism in 1-wing energy, 9w1 procrastination, and differences between 8w7 and 8w9, then close with a call to like/subscribe and check out their Substack.

E57: Willingness, Pain, and Growth: Enneagram Insights for All 9 Types

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 05:00:36 +0000

Tannah and Holly open with a casual chat about erratic March weather in Wisconsin, parenting challenges, reducing kids’ screen time, and enjoying outdoor activity, including an outdoor Peloton run with inaccurate distance tracking. They mention interest in a new Enneagram workplace book, then introduce their Enneagram Adventure podcast and remind listeners that Enneagram is about core motivation, not behavior. Inspired by a Rich Roll clip, they discuss “willingness” as essential for change and how pain—both involuntary (health scares, loss) and voluntary (exercise, hard conversations, cold plunge, early mornings)—can catalyze willingness. They apply this to each Enneagram type by stance: 3/7/8 must slow down and sit with discomfort; 4/5/9 must stay present and be seen; 1/2/6 must loosen perfectionism, stop overgiving, and tolerate uncertainty. They close by noting you can only work with the willing, asking for reviews, and teasing future merch and a retreat.

E56: Enneagram Basics Refresher: Core Motivations, Virtues & Orientation to Time (Types 1–9)

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:09:59 +0000

Hosts Tannah and Holly open with upper Midwest weather swings, parenting challenges around kids’ big emotions and screen-time detox, and a story about one child being recognized for helping a classmate and the resulting sibling jealousy. They introduce the podcast’s Enneagram focus and explain that the Enneagram centers on core motivation (deeper than assessments like Myers-Briggs), plus virtues (healthy return to self) and time orientation, not to “put people in a box” but to recognize patterns and offer a path out. They review all nine types by triads: 8 (Challenger: strength/control; virtue innocence; future), 9 (Peacemaker: avoid conflict; virtue right action; past), 1 (Perfectionist: be good; virtue serenity; present), 2 (Helper: be loved/needed; virtue humility; present), 3 (Achiever: success; virtue truthfulness; future), 4 (Individualist: identity/uniqueness; virtue equanimity; past), 5 (competence; virtue non-attachment; past), 6 (security; virtue courage; present), 7 (happiness/avoid pain; virtue sobriety; future). They close with a call to subscribe, review, and follow, mention possible merch, and note a Substack blog version.

E55: Stop Using Your Enneagram Type as an Excuse: Turning “I Am” Labels into Growth

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

On the Enneagram Adventure podcast, Tannah and Holly discuss how people turn “I am” statements into identity labels—often using their Enneagram type as an excuse for behavior—rather than using awareness to build new capacity. Citing a therapist’s post, they explain that labels create certainty, but once a pattern becomes “who you are,” you stop challenging it and start protecting it. They explore examples across types: ones using perfectionism or being “hard to read,” twos excusing overhelping as caring, threes using adaptability in ways that can feel inauthentic, fours attaching to emotions and avoiding hard conversations, fives identifying with not knowing enough, sixes over-planning worst-case scenarios, sevens avoiding discomfort to stay fun and free, eights resisting control even in small requests, and nines avoiding conflict by default. They invite listeners to reflect, share experiences, and follow the show on platforms and Substack.

E54: “I’m the Problem”: Enneagram Self-Awareness, Triggers, and Owning Your Patterns

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 06:00:15 +0000

In this episode of Enneagram Adventure, Tannah and Holly discuss a social media post titled “I’m the Problem” (from Aligned Soul Co) as a potentially triggering but useful prompt for self-awareness, emphasizing the Enneagram as a tool for understanding core motivation (“your why”), not just behavior. They read and react to “I’m the problem” statements for multiple types—starting with Eight (bulldozing, testing people, accidental intimidation), then Two (keeping score and “buying” love), Five (protecting energy by shutting down or disappearing), Four (making feelings others’ responsibility and using depth to create distance), Six (creating the chaos they fear and anxiety spreading), Nine (peacekeeping through avoidance and silent resentment), Seven (avoiding heaviness with constant optimism and exits), Three (performing to be impressive and turning connection into competition), and One (high standards and feedback that makes others feel wrong). They close by noting everyone has growth work and inviting listeners to like, subscribe, comment, and share.

E53: One-Year Podcast Anniversary: Spotting Growth Opportunities by Enneagram Type

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 06:55:49 +0000

Tannah and Holly celebrate the one-year anniversary of their Enneagram Adventure podcast (recorded February 21st), thank listeners, and share plans for upcoming guests, including an Enneagram 4 author and a longtime Enneagram 5 listener, plus a possible sibling episode featuring a 9. They discuss real-life updates: Tannah’s exhaustion from a month of sick kids, stretching and folding sourdough during the recording (starter named Rocco), learning baking lessons, and processing grief after Bentley’s death, including receiving his ashes and putting a deposit on a future beagle puppy. They introduce the episode’s topic: recognizing uncomfortable “growth moments,” staying present, and turning awareness into action instead of repeating patterns, framed through Enneagram core motivations. They walk through several types and how growth can show up: 5s escaping into their head and practicing “stay in the room”; 2s feeling it in the body and tending to walk away or double down; 3s multitasking or barreling through discomfort and considering their move to 6; 7s rushing toward feeling better and their move to 5; 1s doubling down on rules and humility that can become resentment; 4s quickly identifying feelings but needing to avoid getting stuck and separating identity from emotion; 8s shifting into anger or withdrawal and growing by moving toward 2-like awareness of others’ needs (illustrated through Tannah’s husband supporting her during a hard month); 9s avoiding conflict and telling themselves stories instead of staying to work through solvable issues; and 6s over-planning, chaining meanings together, and attaching events to themselves when they may not be personal. They close with anniversary gratitude, a request for likes, shares, subscriptions, reviews, and comments, and an invitation to reach out with questions or to be a future guest.
