Enneagram in Real Life

Enneagram type is frequently described as a lens through which we see the world. This lens often causes us to overfocus on certain things and completely miss other things! What if we could shift our focus to see what we’re missing?This episode was inspired by my own thoughts around what I tend to overfocus on and what that causes me to miss, and as I reflected on this idea, I realized that I’d experience more balance, fulfillment, and freedom if I could shift my perspective.So what about you? What do you tend to overfocus on? What does that cause you to miss? What would be different if you shifted your focus?Key Takeaways:The Enneagram as a camera lens rather than colored glassesWhat we overfocus on by typeEnneagram Resources for YouWant to keep the conversation going?

Welcome back to Enneagram IRL, the weekly podcast where we go beyond Enneagram theory and dive into practical understanding, new clarity, and fresh insight. We’re talking about how each type is in REAL LIFE so you can remember – you’re more than just a number. On this week’s episode of Enneagram IRL, we meet with Camille Logan, a licensed clinical mental health clinician who co-owns a private practice called the KC Collective in Raleigh, North Carolina. She enjoys working with adolescents, college students, and adults on a range of issues, but primarily around helping people untangle limiting beliefs, undo unhelpful patterns, and heal from hurtful experiences to help build a healthier narrative that makes room for healing, connection, and personal freedom. We discuss how Camille integrates the Enneagram in professional settings as a therapist who acknowledges the Enneagram as a tool of self-discovery, assertiveness, social justice, and the value of connection and vulnerability. We get a clarifying look into the fascinating depths of an Enneagram type Seven.  Follow Camille on Instagram: @Camille.Logan.lcmhc & @EnneagramfortheCultureResources mentioned in this episode:Enneagram for the Culture PodcastFor the full show notes, timestamps, & resources CLICK HEREWe are here for all the little “a-ha!” moments along the way because when you hear your thoughts coming out of someone else’s brain, everything just clicks.

Welcome back to Enneagram IRL, the weekly podcast where we go beyond Enneagram theory and dive into practical understanding, new clarity, and fresh insight. We’re talking about how each type is in REAL LIFE so you can remember – you’re more than just a number. On this week’s episode of Enneagram IRL, we meet with Jessica Denise Dickson, a life empowerment coach who believes that when Black women heal, the world heals. She believes that the path to personal and collective healing comes through embodying our Enneagram and liberation work. Jessica supports clients, through groups and one-on-one work, with the reclamation of our full humanity - healing work that leads us to equity, justice, and freedom. We discuss that when we do this work, we live more authentically with self-trust, self-safety, and fully-embodied freedom, and this echoes into our communities and changes the world. We explore Jessica’s beautiful and powerful experience as an Enneagram Eight whose love for life, people, and justice is so evident and quite contagious! Follow Jessica on Instagram:@jessicaddickson & @jessicaddicksoncoaching Looking for our key takeaways?
