The Enneagram Journey

You have probably heard more about Carolyn Teel from Suzanne over the years than will be in this podcast episode, but it is long overdue that you hear from Carolyn herself! Carolyn is an Enneagram 5 and Suzanne's oldest friend. You get to hear how they have made their relationship work as an extrovert 2 and an introvert 5 over the past 50 plus years. Their conversation goes back to when they had to use a microphone pointed at a record player for the drill team to perform to! Also, we hope you enjoy an intro from Joey Schewee as she talks about the gifts and love that Carolyn has shown her over the years.

This is an episode for everyone! Not just enneagram 1s, or 2s, or 7s, or people interested in learning about diet culture, or people who want to hear about SNAP, or people who want to learn about Belief Systems, or people struggling with shame, or people dealing with their body image....you see where we are going with this. Get to know Enneagram Ones, Casey Bonano RD, LD, CEDRD, and Whitney Stabile MS, LPC-S, CEDS and hear about their Enneagram Journeys. If you want to reach out to Whitney you can find her at www.bravehavencounseling.com and you can reach out to Casey at www.dallasnutritionalcounseling.com   Good luck on your Journey!!

Meet Enneagram 9, Susan Robb! A former Kilgore Rangerette and Baylor Bear, mother of 2, and wife of Ike Robb (enneagram 1), Susan was called to seminary when her kids were in elementary school. Susan and Suzanne discuss Calling and what that can cost, but also what it's worth. She has been on staff at Highland Park United Methodist Church now for 18 years. They discuss her book, Called: Hearing and Responding to God's Voice, the gifts that Enneagram Nines have to offer the rest of us, shame and guilt, and of course much more.

This is a very special episode! Unlike previous podcasts, today's episode is the introduction (first hour) of Suzanne and Joe's workshop, Spiritual Practices and the Enneagram. As it was being edited, it was incredible how many of your questions get answered in the first hour. It was too great not to share! The hour includes some enneagram introductory information, enneagram history, some next step wisdom. Suzanne addresses trauma, Joe reaches out to Spiritual Directors and Clergy. What is Essence, and why should we do soul work or participate in Spiritual Practices? The 3 Centers of Intelligence, Enneagram Triads, Enneagram Stances, and, and, and! We hope you grow from this podcast, and if you are interested in hearing the rest of the workshop, it will be available at lifeinthetrinityministry.com and suzannestabile.com beginning July 15th! Welcome to The Journey! Let's grow deeper together!

If you haven't met Melissa Radke yet, then you are in for a real treat! Author, star of the new USA reality show The Radkes, wife and mother of 2, and enneagram 7, Melissa joins Suzanne on the show today. One of the best parts of the conversation is hearing about when and how Melissa decided she was "worth the work". Like Melissa, have you ever been told you're "just too much"? They also discuss dealing with grief, they talk about faith, and about growing older. Enjoy the podcast and after listening be sure to visit melissaradke.com to learn more about Melissa, her family, the show, and her books!  

Ann and Caroline have been on a Journey that has included the Enneagram for 7 years now after they attended Suzanne's workshops back in 2012. A lot of people think that 4s and 8s have much in common, and many believe that they are soooooo different. This podcast addresses both sides and talks about how their relationship has evolved as they've grown. What are the differences in parenting young children and adult children? And though he didn't know it, Loren, Ann's husband and Caroline's father, an enneagram 9, gets caught in the conversation's cross hairs as well!  There is so much gold from both the parent and daughter angle, about both the aggressive and withdrawing stance, someone who deals so much with shame and someone who deals often with anger. I hope you, and your family and friends can glean as much from it as I did!

What is your Repressed Center? Thinking? Feeling? Doing? Suzanne explains how 1s, 2s, and 6s are Thinking Repressed. How 4s, 5s, and 9s are Doing Repressed. And, how 3s, 7s, and 8s are Feeling Repressed. Remember, "Repressed" can mean many different things for each number in each Stance! People often push back on this topic, but today's episode will help to clear things up, and give us all some tools moving forward.  If you want MORE TOOLS! visit www.LifeInTheTrinityMinistry.com and use the promo code PODCAST at checkout to get Suzanne's mp3 teachings on How To Develop Your Repressed Center (3 hours of content for each stance) for 50% off during the month of June.

How many fights do you have with people in your life about money and finances? How much internal conflict do you have over it?! We hope that today's podcast will help! Enneagram 3, Rachel Cruze joins Suzanne on The Journey to talk about life as a 3, contentment, money, jealousy and envy, and shame. Rachel helps people learn the proper ways to handle money and stay out of debt. She’s authored three best-selling books, including Love Your Life, Not Theirs and Smart Money Smart Kids. As the daughter of Dave Ramsey, Rachel uses the knowledge and experiences from growing up in the Ramsey household to educate others.

It's low hanging fruit, but it is fair to say that you have done The Next Right Thing by listening to this episode! Enneagram 4, Emily Freeman, joins Suzanne to talk about discernment and the process of doing The Next Right Thing, which is the title of her newest book and her incredibly wonderful podcast.  Suzanne and Emily walk through the book discussing the chapters and the significance and overlap of enneagram work and discernment. What role does your enneagram number play when making big, tough, or every day decisions? Giving readers practical, soul-filled steps to discern their next move in love, The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions (Baker Books, April 2, 2019) delivers accessible encouragement and reflections to ease readers’ minds as they tackle any decision they face.
