Tannah and Holly open by chatting about being cranky, seasonal organization, kids’ winter gear, and how Costco mittens all look the same before introducing their podcast Enneagram Adventure and how listeners can request assessments or topics. They pivot into a last-minute chosen topic, vanity and false self, through an Enneagram lens, sparked by Tannah spending the day with her one-to-one Type 8 friend getting nails done, picking up a used Range Rover, and visiting a jeweler where the friend excitedly upgrades her lab-grown diamond while Tannah feels anxious and sentimental about changing hers. They compare motivations around “nice things,” money, and overthinking purchases (including Type 5 hoarding tendencies), discuss how different Type 3 subtypes signal image, and mention Type 4 uniqueness, plus quick observations about other types’ style patterns. They end by referencing Chase Hughes’ idea that what we wear and drive reflects what we want others to think, preview an upcoming in-person recording trip, and invite guests of all nine types for episodes 91–100.

Holly and Tannah open with personal life updates—solo parenting prep, Costco chaos, Midwest October warmth, swim class, and concert plans—before introducing their podcast Enneagram Adventure and explaining the Enneagram as core motivation. Responding to a listener comment from Natalie, they explore “trifixation” (related to tritype) as a shadow-side lens on how ego protection shows up in thinking, feeling, and action. Holly explains her 5/4/9 tritype (triple-withdrawing) and how her default is to disappear or feel invisible, referencing descriptions she found on enneagrammar.com. Tannah shares her 1/2/6 tritype (triple-compliant), connecting it to being moral, helpful, anxious, judgmental, and the inner resentment of doing everything without recognition, plus how humility and self-criticism can become ego strategies. They close by inviting comments, guests for upcoming type episodes, and thanking listeners.

In this Enneagram Adventure episode, hosts Holly and Tannah (IEQ9 certified coaches) share quick life updates, then explore insecurities and how “anything in excess becomes a weakness,” especially when strengths shift from chosen gifts to ego-driven protection. Inspired by Holly’s session with somatic performance coach Brandon, they discuss how the same “not good enough” insecurity can show up as self-criticism or entitlement, and they give examples across all nine Enneagram types: 8s doubling down on “I’ll show you,” 2s over-caring and suppressing anger, 3s chameleoning into self-deceit, 4s getting stuck in heavy emotions, 5s withdrawing to overthink and avoid needs, 6s over-questioning and certainty, 7s avoiding pain with optimism, 9s conflict-avoidance and silencing needs, and 1s perfectionism becoming criticism.

In this Enneagram Adventure episode, IEQ9-certified coaches Holly and Tannah discuss why Enneagram mistypes happen and how to spot them by focusing on core motivation rather than behavior. They explain how stress, assessments taken at different life seasons, wings, and especially subtypes (social, self-preservation, one-to-one) can make people “look like” other types. Using their own examples, they cover common mistype pairings including Social 2 vs 3 (ambition and image vs appreciation needs), one-to-one 5 vs 4 (emotional detachment and boundaries vs emotional comfort and self-revelation), 1 vs 5, 1 vs 2 (people-pleasing/authority approval), 3 vs 8 (adaptability vs pushing through), 4 vs 7, 8 vs 9, counterphobic 6 vs 8, and 3 vs 6. They invite listeners with mistype questions to reach out and also request volunteer guests—especially Type 1s—for their upcoming guest series.

Enneagram’s Viral Moment: What Beatrice Chestnut Says Most People Get Wrong (and How to Actually Do the Work)

On the Enneagram Adventure podcast, hosts Holly and Tannah interview Enneagram author and teacher Beatrice Chestnut about using the Enneagram for real growth rather than stereotypes. Chestnut shares how she learned the Enneagram in 1990 through psychiatrist David Daniels and Helen Palmer’s early work, identified as a Type 2, and later became a psychotherapist and Enneagram educator. The conversation covers the upside and downside of the Enneagram’s popularity on social media, how it can become superficial or used as an excuse, and how deeper work involves facing discomfort, shadow patterns, and growth under stress. Chestnut explains “false self” vs “true self,” why your type doesn’t change, offers a primer on all nine types, and discusses the re-release of The Complete Enneagram alongside her upcoming book The Enneagram of Connection.

On the Enneagram Adventure podcast, Holly and Tannah open with reflections on September weather in the Midwest and briefly mention 9/11’s clear skies before introducing a core Enneagram construct: center of expression and center of intelligence. They explain that the Enneagram focuses on core motivations (deeper than behavior-based tools like DiSC or Myers-Briggs) and note they are IEQ9-certified coaches whose assessment measures these centers. Holly outlines typical center-of-expression groupings—8/9/1 action, 2/3/4 feeling, 5/6/7 thinking—emphasizing that expression language (action, feeling, thinking) doesn’t indicate confidence, and that individuals can be atypical, which can lead to mistyping. They then discuss center-of-intelligence “stacks” (how people process decisions: head/heart/gut), share personal examples (Holly as a 5 and Tannah as a 2), describe how action-first types operate, explore suppression and overuse of centers, touch on body-driven nervous system cues, and end with community and guest invitations for an upcoming series covering all nine types.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
