Enneagram in Real Life
Enneagram In Real Life (fka Ask an Enneagram Coach), is a podcast where we go beyond Enneagram theory and dive into practical understanding and fresh insight. Each episode will feature a guest of a different type to share the ins and outs of living life as their type and how they apply the Enneagram IRL. The Enneagram IRL podcast will engage listeners wherever they are in their self-discovery process so that they can learn, grow, and remember that even though we all love the Enneagram, we’re more than just a number.Hosted by Steph Barron Hall, Accredited Enneagram Practitioner, coach, consultant, author, and creator of @ninetypesco on Instagram.

Enneagram 4 Motivation, Type 2 & 3 Relationship, & Navigating Regret as a Type 1
This episode is all about types 1, 2, 3, & 4! On today’s episode, we'll cover the following questions:What does it mean that the core desire of a four is “to find themselves” or “find their identity”? Or I guess it’s better put as “how does this core motivation show up in feelings, thoughts, or actions?” Maybe just some real life examples that can help me wrap my head around it.I have gotten my boyfriend very involved in the enneagram as well and it has really helped us learn about each other and ourselves! I am a 2W3 and he is a 3W2 and I was wondering if you could give me a summary on a 2/3 relationship? (I've already read your book and loved it!)My husband is a type one, he struggles with himself being the best that he can be, and he will hold on to any regret for a long time and let it tear him apart. Even if what happened wasn't his fault, or in the moment he didn't know better. I'm a type 9 and all I want to do is help him not hurt. How can I help him process his regrets correctly?Support us by using these sponsored links!Visit Enneagram Coffee for fantastic coffee for your Enneagram type & get 5% off your order with code NINETYPESCO https://www.enneagramcoffee.com/ Sign up for therapy from anywhere with BetterHelp!
