• E80: Why Enneagram 9s Avoid Decisions (and What It’s Really Protecting): Aaron & Tara Finally Join the Podcast

    Hosts Holly and Tannah welcome guests Aaron (Holly’s husband) and Tara (Tannah’s sister), both Enneagram Nines, for a deep dive into Nine motivations—especially conflict avoidance, peacekeeping, and outsourcing decisions. They revisit Aaron’s past confusion between being a Nine versus a Two, emphasizing that the Enneagram measures core motivation rather than behavior, and discuss how childhood dynamics shaped their “go with the flow” patterns, including conflict not being modeled for Aaron and Tara’s experiences of being corrected or wanting to fit in. The group explores Nine stress moving to Six through worst-case-scenario thinking and lingering regret after decisions (like choosing restaurants or missing a recital ticket). They discuss the “soul child” concept (Nine’s growth line to Three) and how recognizing Nine tendencies can support growth through owning wants, needs, and making decisions for healthier relationships, ending with a call for listeners to like/subscribe and volunteer as guests for the upcoming one-to-nine series.

  • E79: You Are Enough”… But Does That Let Us Off the Hook?

    (Plus a Lightning Strike & a Family Bed Swap)

    Holly and Tannah open with chaotic weekend updates, including a loud lightning strike near Holly’s house, a trip to support their friend Paul’s final long ride for Ironman Wisconsin with snacks, and an exhausting bedroom/bed swap for the kids that sparked stress, clutter cleanout, and a surprise headboard with color-changing lights that Holly lets her son enjoy. They transition into Enneagram Adventure, explaining they’re IEQ9 certified coaches and emphasizing the Enneagram measures core motivation rather than behavior. Inspired by Ian Morgan Cron, they explore whether “you are enough just as you are” can reduce personal responsibility, discussing identity, entitlement, authenticity versus being a jerk, parenting accountability, ADHD-related correction and confidence, and how relationships evolve through phases by choosing each other daily and mourning past versions. They close with plans for guest episodes and inviting listeners of every Enneagram number to participate, plus where to find the show (including Pandora).

    Holly and Tannah introduce Bodhi the beagle and attempt an entertainment-only conversation connecting astrology with the Enneagram, noting they’re IEQ9 certified coaches but not astrology experts. Tannah scrambles for a birth time—discovering her birth certificate doesn’t list it—then calls her mom and lands on “around 6:00 PM,” while they discuss using apps like CoStar and mention Zodiogram. They compare charts and Enneagram patterns: Holly shares being a Sagittarius sun, Gemini moon, Virgo rising and links traits like questioning and “philosopher” energy to type 5; Tannah reads her Libra sun, Aquarius moon, Pisces rising descriptions and reflects on how they resonate with her type 2, wing 3, and soul child themes. They also review family charts (including Aaron as Scorpio sun, Taurus moon, Aquarius rising), joke about compatibility, debate nuance vs correlation, and invite listeners to share their chart, type, and subtype, ending with a call to follow and engage across podcast platforms.

    Holly and Tannah open with personal updates about Tannah’s eight year old’s birthday weekend and Holly’s husband Aaron re injuring his collarbone and recovering from surgery, then welcome listeners to Enneagram Adventure and explain that the Enneagram measures core motivation rather than behavior, cautioning against free online tests and recommending the IEQ9 assessment. They do a structured deep dive on wings, which are the adjacent numbers to a core type, sharing three common wing theories: one dominant wing, balanced wings, or wings shifting over time. They review all nine types and both wings with key descriptors and examples from people they know, including Holly’s shift from 5 wing 6 to 5 wing 4 over time. They close by sharing an email invitation to host Enneagram author Beatrice Chestnut on the podcast to discuss her work and concerns about short form sound bite content, then encourage listeners to like, subscribe, and share.

  • E76: What You *Can’t* Get From Others (By Enneagram Type) — And Why It’s Hurting Your Relationships

    Holly and Tannah, IEQ9 certified Enneagram coaches, frame the Enneagram as a tool focused on core motivation and then discuss relationships through the lens of what each type cannot outsource to others. They walk through types 1–9: ones must practice self-forgiveness rather than relying on reassurance; twos cannot outsource worth and may “give to get”; threes must separate identity from achievement to feel “enough”; fours can’t make others responsible for regulating emotional intensity and need tools to move through feelings; fives must take ownership of reaching for connection rather than always waiting; sixes can’t outsource an internal sense of safety and may seek reassurance that never satisfies; sevens must build capacity to stay present with discomfort instead of escaping or reframing; eights must choose vulnerability rather than waiting until it feels fully safe; and nines must show up, voice needs, and not rely on others to draw them out.

    (And What It’s Really Protecting)


    On a rainy Friday, Enneagram coaches Holly and Tannah record a chaotic episode with pets while introducing The Enneagram Adventure and explaining that the Enneagram goes deeper than behavior into core motivation. They explore shame across Enneagram types, noting triad emotions (2-3-4 shame, 5-6-7 anxiety, 8-9-1 anger) and discussing how shame reactions differ: Ones turn it into harsh self-criticism and minimize compliments; Twos feel “shame on me” through external comparison; Threes bury shame with work, wins, and image; Fours personalize it and build identity around pain; Fives feel shame as incompetence and “should have known”; Sixes spiral into anxiety, doubt, defensiveness, and seek validation; Sevens reframe, joke, distract, or double down; Eights convert shame into anger to avoid vulnerability; Nines numb out, withdraw, merge, and over-serve after mistakes. They close by emphasizing shame fuels hiding, not change, and relating it to parenting and safe honesty.

    The Hard Conversation Each Enneagram Type Avoids


    Tannah opens the episode anxious that her air conditioner and Nest thermostat are malfunctioning, then shares lake-trip updates and chaotic back-to-school and kids’ soccer logistics, including a messy car and her son’s “helicopter collection” of applesauce tops. The hosts of Enneagram Adventure—certified Enneagram coaches—introduce the topic of courage as the willingness to stay in discomfort, especially during hard conversations, emphasizing curiosity, directness, and kindness. They discuss practicing timely conflict repair (a 48-hour rule), how twos may keep score and struggle to ask for needs without feeling selfish, and how eights’ directness can mask fear of vulnerability. They note head types can intellectualize patterns without embodying change, compare discomfort training to cold plunging and running, and end relieved that Tannah’s AC is working.

    Hosts Tannah and Holly open with travel updates, poor air quality, and a puppy cameo, then share how Tannah decided to travel to New York for Ironman Lake Placid to support Aaron’s friend Logan despite Aaron’s broken collarbone, using a “how do you want to feel?” decision exercise. They introduce Enneagram Adventure, note they are IEQ9-certified coaches, and frame the episode around a Ryan Holiday (modern stoic) idea: virtue is a verb. Using the Enneagram vice-to-virtue concept, they discuss each type’s virtue as actionable practice: Type 1 serenity, 2 humility, 3 hope, 4 equanimity, 5 non-attachment, 6 faith, 7 sobriety, 8 innocence, and 9 right/aligned action, with examples like boundaries for twos, releasing expectations for fives, and slowing down for sevens. They close with community CTAs, mention Hector returning to discuss Type 4, and end with travel well-wishes.

  • E72: The Enneagram’s “Reality Distortion”: Are You Faking Good or Faking Bad?

    Tannah and Holly open with a light moment about their sleepy dog Bodhi’s “Fritos feet,” then Tannah recounts a terrifying solo-parenting incident at town fireworks when her seven-year-old, Keegan, disappeared for about 15 minutes and was found after she enlisted friends and asked a daycare teacher for help; she describes the fear, anger, tears, and the “lecture of a lifetime,” plus guilt about others “wasting their time.” Holly shares her own lost-kid memory at a Civil War reenactment. They pivot to Enneagram Adventure’s topic: “reality distortion” from the IEQ9 Coaching Companion, explaining “faking good” (overly positive, avoidant, performative, blocking hard conversations) and “faking bad” (overly negative, self-critical), noting their own zero scores in faking bad and observing a few clients higher in faking bad, often women and sometimes sixes. Holly uses Aaron’s Colorado bike crash and broken collarbone two weeks before Ironman Lake Placid to illustrate faking good and suppressed anger/sadness. They connect parenting, fear-based messaging, and building safe relationships through hard conversations, then close with a request to share, subscribe, and follow their platforms.

    Holly and Tannah open by chatting about trip prep stress, packing bikes/workout gear, and Tannah being “voluntold” to coach 4-year-old rec soccer during a busy 4th of July week. They introduce Enneagram Adventure, noting they’re IEQ9-certified coaches and that the Enneagram explores core motivations. The episode focuses on how attachment styles may show up across Enneagram types, emphasizing they are not therapists and that examples vary by person and relationship. Holly briefly defines secure, anxious/preoccupied, avoidant/dismissive, and disorganized attachment. They then discuss each Enneagram type (1–9), describing possible anxious/avoidant/disorganized patterns and sharing personal examples, including Tannah’s reflections as a type 2 and Holly's as a type 5, plus observations about 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s.

    Holly and Tannah open by joking about a hot Wisconsin summer that still leaves them cold after a rainy boat day on Lake Wisconsin, then introduce their Enneagram Adventure podcast and explain that the Enneagram focuses on core motivation rather than behavior. Building on last week’s apology episode, they discuss being “unapologetically yourself” and how social media or work personas can become a front, then use the Enneagram “soul child” theory (your growth number as who you were as a small child before safety, criticism, or trauma shifted you) to explore authenticity across all nine types. They give examples including Holly’s five-to-eight story, eights softening into two-like warmth, twos accessing four-like emotional honesty, and how threes, sixes, and nines grow toward preparedness or action. They conclude that authenticity means dropping the mask—not being a jerk—and invite listeners to like, subscribe, share, and review.

  • E69: Why Are You Apologizing Right Now? (Enneagram Take on Over-Apologizing, Shame, and Authenticity)

    On a dock after a walk-run and coffee in Wisconsin summer, Tannah and Holly introduce their podcast, Enneagram Adventure, explaining that as IEQ9-certified Enneagram coaches they use the Enneagram to explore core motivations rather than surface behaviors. They unpack a Joe Hudson post about how people “hear someone’s childhood” in their apologies, linking apology patterns to shame: over-apologizing after one mistake, pre-apologizing (“sorry to bother you”) from feeling guilty for taking up space, and refusing or deflecting accountability (“sorry you feel that way”) from associating apologies with blame. Through an Enneagram lens, they discuss how different numbers and stances might lean toward these patterns, share personal examples (including Tannah’s tendency to apologize unnecessarily and her husband’s difficulty apologizing), and emphasize discerning true harm from merely making someone uncomfortable while living more authentically.

  • E68:Why You “Can’t Understand” Them (And the One Question That Changes Everything) | Enneagram Adventure

    Tannah and Holly co-hosts of Enneagram Adventure (both IQ9 certified Enneagram coaches) discuss how life and relationships improve when you choose genuine curiosity and a willingness to understand others, especially across political or belief divides. They emphasize that understanding doesn’t equal forgiveness and that healthy depth requires mutual effort, not one-sided responsibility or tolerance of unhealthy dynamics. Using the Enneagram as a tool for self-awareness, they explore how triggers, ego, pride, resentment, manipulation, and conflict can block curiosity, and how deep work gets easier with practice. They give quick “curiosity questions” for each Enneagram type (1–9) to help people understand themselves and others, then invite listeners to reach out for a recommended assessment or future episode ideas.

  • E67: What Each Enneagram Type Is Secretly Proud Of (and Why That Matters)

    Tannah and Holly open with puppy life vet visits for a double ear infection, struggles finding any treat the dog will take, and potty-training sleep disruptions before introducing their podcast, Enneagram Adventure, where they discuss growth through the Enneagram as IQ9 certified coaches. The episode focuses on the “prideful” part of each Enneagram number, framed by the ideas that pride is what we’ve been praised for and what we refuse to question, tying pride to identity and ego patterns. They walk through types 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, describing common praised traits (easygoing, strong, fun, prepared, knowledgeable, unique, winning, helpful, perfect) and how over-identifying with them can block vulnerability, boundaries, conflict, or self-worth separate from performance.

  • E66: Enneagram Subtypes & Tri-Type: How They Shape Relationships, Mistypes, and Everyday Life

    Hosts Tannah and Holly open with parenting and everyday-life humor, then introduce their podcast Enneagram Adventure and clarify that the Enneagram measures core motivation, not behavior. They revisit two Enneagram constructs: subtypes (how you live your type) and tri-type (your highest alignment in the head, heart, and gut centers—“thinks like, feels like, acts like”). Tannah shares her experience as a social subtype 2 and addresses the misconception that “social” means extroverted, while Holly explains being a one-to-one subtype 5 (a countertype) and how one-to-one intensity can affect relationships and mistyping. They discuss self-preservation traits, including safety-seeking and “what-if” spirals, and note how subtype can create more relationship conflict than type. They close with tri-type examples (including spouses) and a story about helping Tannah’s son with reading, confidence, and possible ADHD/three energy.

  • E65: Enneagram Lines in Real Life: Stress, Growth, and Relationships

    Holly and Tannah open with stories about stormy weather interrupting golf, a late-night post–dance recital celebration that threw off the kids’ sleep, and a quick introduction to their podcast, Enneagram Adventure. As IEQ9 certified coaches, they clarify that their Enneagram approach measures core motivation (not behavior) and caution against unreliable free assessments, noting recent questions from a 55-person session about spouses, kids, and cheaper tests. The episode focuses on Enneagram “lines”—stress/stretch and growth/release—using relationship and parenting examples: Holly (a 2) describes moving to 8 under stress and how she and her husband navigate communication; Tannah (a 5) reflects on her 8 mom and how family dynamics shaped her. They discuss other line pairings (5–7, 6–9, 7–1, 1–4, 2–4, 3–6, 3–9), invite listener stories, and close with a call to follow/share plus news they’re surprising their kids with a puppy.

  • E64:A World Where No One Is a Stranger: Enneagram, Ego, and Being Honest About How You’re Doing

    Hosts Holly and Tannah open Enneagram Adventure with a rambling, life-focused episode inspired by a TikTok by comedian/activist Alok asking, “What is your hope for the future?” and imagining a world where no one is a stranger and people can answer “How are you?” with real honesty. They discuss how all nine Enneagram types share common roots in reward, punishment, and trauma, how ego convinces us we’re uniquely misunderstood, and why compassion and “holding space” help us see sameness over difference and assume positive intent. They reflect on hidden struggles (including Holly’s concussion and whiplash after a car accident), the difficulty of vulnerability, the freedom of moving closer to neutrality without judgment, and the importance of flexibility, apologies, and changing your mind. They close with a call to be more honest about feelings and tease Tannah getting family members to take an Enneagram assessment.

  • E63: Enneagram Compatibility: Which Types Get Along (and Why It’s Not a Hard Rule)

    Holly and Tannah open with humorous parenting and a brief astrology tangent, then introduce their podcast, The Enneagram Adventure, noting they are IEQ9 certified coaches and explaining the Enneagram focuses on core motivation (the “why”), not behavior, and isn’t an excuse or a way to box people in. They discuss the common question of Enneagram “compatibility,” emphasizing nuance and that any types can get along depending on health and self-awareness, then walk through types and relationship dynamics: ones’ perfectionistic standards and potential synergy with fives and eights and tension with fours and sevens; nines’ peacekeeping and tendency to withdraw; eights’ intensity, directness, loyalty-testing, and common pairing with twos; sevens’ easygoing energy but planning/commitment friction; sixes’ security-focus, skepticism, and trust issues; fours’ emotional depth and potential challenges with sevens, threes, and eights; threes’ achievement and chameleon tendencies; twos’ connections with fives and eights and triggers with constant levity or withdrawal. They close by noting same-type relationships can feel like harmony or a mirror, invite listeners to share experiences. Please like, subscribe, comment, follow, leave a review.

  • E62: Enneagram 2w3, Authenticity, and the Three Selves: Performer vs Helper vs True Self

    Recording from Tannah’s grandma’s condo with ancestral portraits in the background, Tannah and Holly discuss Enneagram and identity, emphasizing the Enneagram as core motivation rather than behavior. Tannah (an Enneagram 2 with a strong 3 wing) describes an Instagram reel that sparked questions about switching between “high performer” and “warm mom,” leading to ideas about the performing self, relational self, and private/true self. They connect these selves to childhood patterns, image and financial security, and how twos can slip into “give to get,” fixing others, and managing emotions to reduce anxiety tied to abandonment. Tannah shares resentment and autopilot caretaking at home and while helping her grandma, while Holly notes boundaries and not being responsible for others’ feelings. They touch on ego/identity death, re-parenting, generational coping styles, technology/AI shifts, and propose a future episode on each type’s shadow side.

  • E61: Eight, Too Much, and Vulnerable Echoes

    Holly and Tannah welcome back guest Casey to Enneagram Adventure for an episode focused on Enneagram Type 8 motivations, tying in recent podcast “constructs,” including the “childhood triangle” questions: what you needed to do to get/keep friends, to feel safe, and to feel rewarded (including love). Casey shares that she most resonates with control, not being seen as weak, and learning vulnerability by naming emotions beneath anger and allowing others to help her process things. She describes childhood and teen patterns of protecting quieter friends and her sister, staying constantly busy, withdrawing from conflict to avoid saying something regrettable, and seeking recognition through leadership roles while still feeling “not good enough.” They discuss Midwest culture’s discomfort with bluntness, preferences for written gratitude, awkwardness receiving care, and Casey’s candid reactions to gifts, plus her conflicted feelings about surprise parties. The conversation closes with a brief note about a relay supporting an ultramarathon runner.
