Enneagram Type 4s, nicknamed The Individualist, try to be authentic with every fiber of their being, but it’s so hard for them to know who they really are deep down. They often feel overwhelmed trying to do justice to their talents, all the while feeling misunderstood by people who move too fast, are too shallow, and act too harshly to understand their full heart. Famous examples include Bob Dylan, Johnny Depp, Prince, Michael Jackson, and Frida Kahlo.

In this episode, we explore the essence of the Type 4 and the insecurities and motivations that drive their every action and relationship. We walk you through the story of the Type 4’s life by looking at their journey through the Levels of Consciousness from their healthiest to their average to their most destructive ways of operating. We close the episode by offering a critical type-tailored practice to help 4s rise up in consciousness and be the best version of themselves.  

This episode is designed to help Type 4s thrive in their personal and professional lives by fostering a deeper understanding of their insecurities and motivations. It’s also an invaluable resource for friends, partners, and colleagues of Type 4s who wish to better support and relate to them.
