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. 00:00 Meet the Nines00:47 Podcast Intro and Enneagram Basics03:16 Why Aaron Is a Nine04:15 Childhood Roots of Nineness07:08 Tara’s Upbringing and Nine Vibes09:00 Conflict Stories and Marriage Triggers10:50 Soul Child Theory for Nines20:01 Decision Paralysis and People Pleasing25:34 Stress Line to Six Worst Case Thinking26:56 Fear of Wrong Choices28:28 Childhood Scolding Memories30:02 Left Handed Lesson31:29 Fitting In at School32:48 Soul Child Enneagram36:54 Nine Growth Questions40:14 Owning Needs and Decisions42:37 Decision Fatigue Meals45:09 Audio Check and Wrap45:54 Guests and Next Topics48:20 Nine Commitment Jokes49:47 Subscribe and Closing﻿Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure

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

(Plus a Lightning Strike &amp; 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.

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. 00:00 Astrology Meets Enneagram01:21 Birth Certificate Mystery02:25 Calling Mom for Birth Time03:47 Downloading CoStar App05:36 Why Charts Might Match Types07:46 Host Chart Breakdown10:27 Finding Tannah Chart12:47 Compatibility and Planet Jokes14:31 Virgo Rising Deep Dive20:07 Libra Traits and Balance21:07 Libra Sun Reflections21:44 Aquarius Moon Breakdown22:55 Pisces Rising Traits24:13 Enneagram Crossovers25:19 Son Chart Leo Mix27:11 Scorpio Rising Deep Dive28:36 Hard Questions Kid32:04 Dog Destroys Scotty33:00 Aaron Birth Chart36:37 Astrology Vs Enneagram39:02 Human Design Rabbit Hole40:01 Wrap Up And Plans Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure

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. 00:00 Weekend Catch Up02:53 Aaron Injury Update06:19 Podcast Intro Disclaimer08:29 Wings Overview Theories12:14 Type One Wings15:17 Type Two Wings18:40 Type Three Wings21:07 Type Four Wings22:34 Type Five Wings Shift24:43 Old Anxiety Planning26:57 Type Six Wings28:52 Type Seven Wings30:42 Type Eight Wings34:30 Type Nine Wings37:10 Wings Perspective38:51 Beatrice Chestnut Invite40:52 Wrap Up and Subscribe ﻿Follow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure

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. 00:00 Weekend Check In00:07 Surgery Scare02:20 Urgent Care Results03:55 Family Reunion Weekend06:19 Podcast Intro08:14 Relationship Topic Setup10:30 Type One Self Forgiveness15:54 Type Two Worth Trap18:58 Expectations From Media21:27 Invisible Labor In Marriage23:46 Type Three Enoughness25:38 Type Three At Work28:09 Type Four Emotional Depth32:47 Type Five Reaching Out36:04 Type Six Inner Safety38:51 Type Seven Discomfort Tolerance41:16 Type Eight Vulnerability45:20 Type Nine Speak Up48:20 Wrap Up And Goodbye Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure

(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. 00:00 Chaotic Pet Check In00:36 Rainy Day Catch Up02:10 Podcast Intro Enneagram Basics03:13 Why Talk About Shame05:13 Triads And Core Emotions05:53 Type Two Shame And Comparison10:34 Type One Shame Inner Critic15:39 Type Three Shame And Overwork17:10 Type Four Shame And Misfit Story21:45 Type Five Shame Triggers24:00 Type Six Anxiety Spiral26:18 Type Six Learning Uncertainty28:26 Type Seven Avoiding Shame31:32 Type Eight Anger Armor34:16 Type Nine Numbing Out37:08 Breaking the Shame Cycle39:11 Parenting Without Shame40:27 Wrap Up and Goodbye Listen to the Pod Here:https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956

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. 00:00 AC Panic Cold Air01:23 Lake Trip Recap03:27 Chaotic Family Schedule05:47 Podcast Intro Enneagram Basics07:18 Courage Hard Conversations08:58 Workplace Conflict Skills12:05 48 Hour Rule Resentment15:52 Brave Words Kid Boundaries17:54 Write It Down Dont Send21:02 Eights And Vulnerability22:35 Directness Without Cruelty26:18 Calling Out Judgment27:48 Curiosity And The Stories We Tell30:52 Twos Asking For Needs32:12 Breaking Childhood Patterns34:35 Letting Others Find Their Way37:57 Knowing Versus Feeling It39:40 Training Discomfort Tolerance42:16 Workout High And Rewards43:14 AC Update And Wrap Up45:07 Listener Questions And Goodbye﻿Follow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure Listen to the Pod Here:https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956

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. 00:00 Puppy Chaos Intro00:41 Wildfire Smoke Check02:03 Trip to Lake Placid03:11 Choosing Experiences05:12 Virtue Is a Verb06:51 Stoicism and Ryan Holiday09:23 Enneagram Vice to Virtue11:10 Type One Serenity14:31 Type Two Humility20:41 Type Three Hope23:07 Type Four Equanimity24:42 Type Five Nonattachment28:03 Type Six Faith30:06 Type Seven Sobriety32:35 Type Eight Innocence35:56 Type Nine Right Action37:35 Wrap Up and Community ﻿Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure

E73: Virtue Is a Verb—What Each Enneagram Type Gets Wrong (and How to Practice It)

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. 00:00 Sleepy Dog Debut01:24 Solo Parenting Recap01:43 Fireworks Kid Scare05:20 Relief And Aftermath06:10 Her Lost Kid Memory12:00 Podcast Kickoff13:03 Reality Distortion Explained15:28 Faking Good In Relationships21:57 Oversharing And Connection24:24 Faking Bad Patterns27:09 Culture And Demographics28:18 Why Full Assessments Matter29:23 Changing Reality Distortion31:00 Faking Good vs Bad Scores32:46 Bike Crash Emotional Coverup39:08 Losing Kids and Faking Bad40:54 Inherited Judgment Patterns43:31 Parenting Through Fear49:52 Safe Space Parenting Stories52:29 Pokemon Cards and Truth55:52 Wrap Up and Next StepsFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure Listen to the Pod Here:https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956

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&#39;s as a type 5, plus observations about 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s, 8s, and 9s.

E71: Your Enneagram Type Might Be Revealing Your Attachment Style—But Not How You Think

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. 00:00 Midwest Summer Whiplash00:51 Boat Day Storm Stories02:20 Podcast Intro And Enneagram Basics04:00 Unapologetically Yourself Theme05:58 Soul Child Theory Explained09:03 Authenticity And Social Masks10:07 Type One To Seven Growth14:11 Seven To Five And Real Examples18:25 Five To Eight Personal Story21:37 Eight To Two Vulnerability25:28 Trauma And Toughness27:11 Two To Four Growth31:38 Flow State And Safety33:06 Debate And Triggers37:22 Four To One Shift41:08 Three To Six Drive43:37 Six To Nine Preparedness47:14 Nine To Three Push52:25 Wrap Up And OutroEmail the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.com ﻿Follow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure

E70: The “Unapologetically You” Shift: Is Your Enneagram Type a Mask (and Who Were You Before)?

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. 00:00 Dockside Intro Vibes00:52 Podcast and Enneagram Basics02:05 Why We Over Apologize03:44 When Apologies Lose Meaning04:46 Forgiveness and Self Forgiveness06:12 Joe Hudson Apology Framework08:05 Enneagram Types and Apology Styles10:43 Real Life Eights and Nines12:08 Receipts After Sorry13:53 Stop Apologizing for Existing15:13 Authenticity Versus People Pleasing16:07 Knowing When You Owe One ﻿Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure

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. 00:00 Love Story Park Intro00:24 Podcast Welcome Setup01:00 Enneagram Basics Disclaimer02:08 Why Curiosity Matters03:26 Politics Divide Example06:08 Boundaries Accountability07:05 Conflict Versus Forgiveness07:37 Subtypes And Curiosity09:22 Self Awareness Deep Work14:52 Enneagram As Gateway17:41 Compassion In Relationships22:52 Deep Work Gets Easier26:06 Questions For Each Type27:13 Understanding Their Motives27:50 Type One Curiosity28:30 Type Two Boundaries29:19 Type Three Letting Go29:58 Type Four Feeling Seen30:36 Type Five Asking Help31:37 Type Six Positive Intent32:55 Type Seven Facing Pain34:29 Type Eight Beyond Anger36:00 Type Nine Staying Present38:09 Outdoor Wrap Up38:51 Where To Find Us ﻿Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure

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. 00:00 Picky Puppy Problems01:36 Treat Training Breakthrough03:29 Playdate and Pet Banter04:38 Podcast Intro and Pride Theme08:02 Type Nine Easygoing Identity13:58 Type Eight Strength Armor21:03 Type Seven Fun Persona23:27 Type Six Preparedness Pattern26:24 Travel Light Mindset27:26 Type Five Praise Trap32:07 Type Four Unique Identity36:00 Dog Cameo Break36:35 Type Three Winning Drive40:22 Type Two Helper Highs46:04 Type One Perfection Praise48:24 Wrap Up Puppy Life50:10 Thanks And Follow﻿Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure Listen to the Pod Here:https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956

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

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/5/22/10/2790109d-2386-471a-8c47-0e6bddc5b360_a_66_enneagram_subtypes__parenting__and_banter.mp3

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. 00:00 Parenting Chaos Cold Open00:49 Podcast Intro and Enneagram Basics02:37 Subtypes Explained Social Two07:20 One-to-One Countertype Five10:48 Astrology Tangent and Stacking Types14:04 Self-Preservation Subtype Overview20:04 Safety Always Wins Coaching Rant24:49 Manipulation and Energy Conservation26:03 Reckless Table Purchase28:34 Cart Abandonment Spiral29:24 Returns and Regret31:43 Tri Type Explained34:17 Husband Tri Type Insights35:47 Reading Struggles at Bedtime37:50 Is He a Three42:40 Pride and Self Efficacy44:48 Fidgets and Focus47:23 Wrap Up and Goodbye ﻿Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure Listen to the Pod Here:https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956

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.

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. 00:00 Stormy Golf Banter00:39 Late Night Family Chaos01:32 Podcast Intro and Enneagram Basics02:19 Assessment Disclaimers05:15 Why Lines Matter08:36 Stress and Release Explained10:18 Two to Eight Marriage Story19:01 Eight to Five Parent Dynamic22:45 Five to Seven Opposites24:15 Six to Nine Examples25:19 Recital Weekend Nine Vibes27:26 Nine Parenting a Four28:52 Why Nines See All Sides30:32 Nine Creates a Nine31:57 Seven and One Lines33:06 One to Four Stress34:47 Raising Kids With Feelings39:46 Four and Two Dynamics43:52 Three With Six and Nine46:38 Nine Loves Three Energy48:47 Wrap Up and Puppy Tease ﻿Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure Listen to the Pod Here:https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956

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. 00:00 Rambly TikTok Setup02:14 Podcast Intro and Enneagram Disclaimer03:42 Alok TikTok and No Strangers06:35 Same Trauma Different Flavors09:28 Ego Gets in the Way10:36 Fixing Feelings and Family15:03 Invisible Pain and Concussion17:58 Challenging Biology and Generations19:58 Ego Death and Being Wrong26:02 Getting Closer to Neutral27:01 Random Couch Questions28:05 Money No Object Question30:45 Dream Jobs And Podcast Plans31:55 Helping Marginalized Communities36:22 Abolish Money Rabbit Hole37:12 Breaking Ego Patterns39:21 Anger Dopamine And Repair43:09 Honest Check Ins Experiment46:52 Upright And Not Crying48:10 Family Enneagram Teaser49:49 Wrap Up And Call To Action Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1https://pin.it/5vmAb7ZQQhttps://substack.com/@enneagramadventure Listen to the Pod Here:https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956

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. 00:00 Grandma House Intro00:54 Enneagram Identity Setup02:23 Long Text Origin Story03:13 Work Mom Personas04:47 ChatGPT Pep Talk06:59 Three Selves Framework11:19 Two Wing Three Drivers13:26 Money Security Roots16:28 Looks Vanity Conditioning20:35 Relational Give To Get22:19 Morning Resentment Loop23:30 The Fixer Timeline Trap24:47 True Self After Self Care25:40 Breaking Autopilot Patterns27:40 Grandma Caregiving Resentment28:37 Not Responsible For Feelings32:29 Ego Death And Inner Voices35:32 Abandonment Wound And Anxiety41:03 Generational Coping And Therapy42:53 Nostalgia Tech And AI Shift44:58 Integration Takeaways Next Steps46:42 Grandmas House Sign Off﻿Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1 Listen to the Pod Here:https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6whttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956

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. 00:00 Storm Day Pickup Chaos00:31 Casey Returns for Eights02:11 Podcast Intro and Disclaimers03:05 Eight Motivation and Vulnerability05:40 Letting Others Show Up08:37 Gratitude Awkwardness and Logic10:42 Written Words Over Speaking14:14 Childhood Triangle Explained15:16 Friends Protection and Planning17:03 Safety Through Staying Busy19:24 Reward Recognition and Belonging22:52 Invites Belonging and Saying No25:25 Concerts Personal Space Boundaries26:31 The Too Much Question29:22 Midwest vs East Coast Eight30:50 Too Direct in Public31:32 Subtypes and Testing Rooms34:53 Gift Reactions and Gratitude39:19 Surprise Parties and Control41:58 Prom Itinerary and Old Phones43:48 Anger as Secondary Emotion45:07 Unexpected Behavior and Kids47:06 Confidence and Enneagram Typing49:10 Wrap Up and Relay Tease Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/ https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&amp;_r=1 https://substack.com/@enneagramadventure Listen to the Pod Here: https://open.spotify.com/show/7A3DMdipKzElgEMD47XU6w https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagram-adventure/id1792658956 Email the Podcast : enneagramadventure@gmail.com
