The Enneagram Journey

Thank you all for continuing to ask such great questions! We sat down to look at the questions you have turned in through social media, the 3 websites, email, and at live events, and one topic continued to pop out over and over. Will you please talk more and explain more about the Enneagram and Orientation to Time? YES! This episode begins with an introduction on the 3 Enneagram Stances and walks through how our orientation to time can affect our parenting, marriage, and even work life! We hope you enjoy it, and keep the questions coming! (there are two more Q&A episodes to be released in the coming weeks). AND!

People have been asking for an episode with Suzanne and an Enneagram 9 who has an 8 wing, and this is that episode! Jenny Mcnulty, Suzanne's other daughter, joins the podcast! Topics include: Is there such thing as an extroverted 9? Relationships (always!). What having an 8 wing looks like, what work that causes for Jenny, and also how she benefits from it. AND MORE!

The last 2 episodes included guests that were an enneagram 4 and 9, and this episode is going to wrap up the Withdrawing Stance with enneagram 5, Knox McCoy! Author of The Wondering Years, co-host of The Popcast with Knox and Jamie, husband and father of 3, Knox joins Suzanne to discuss life as a 5 including: social media (a common theme as of late), of course pop culture, social situations, and a subject a lot of people are curious about, Subtypes. You can find Knox in Birmingham, AL, you can find The Wondering Years on Amazon, and you can find Suzanne in Long Beach, CA (Feb. 22-23), Austin, TX (Feb. 28 - Mar. 2), and Portland, OR (March 15-17). AND, please rate and leave a review of the podcast!

Enneagram 9, Audrey Assad joins Suzanne on this episode of The Enneagram Journey! This conversation stands alone in it’s uniqueness. Not only because of Audrey’s beautiful music that opens and closes the show, but because of the depth of their talk on how OCD, yoga, the enneagram, acupuncture, and music play a role in Audrey’s life. Suzanne and Audrey talk mental health, and be sure to listen when Suzanne talks about Enneagram Triads and the importance of finding balance in emotional, mental, and physical health. There is so much more to Audrey and her Journey than we could fit in this paragraph or two, so please visit audreassad.com to learn more about Audrey and her Journey, and definitely check out her latest album Evergreen! 

The first episode of 2019 is here, and it is a wonderful episode to start the year with! Get to better know Marty Dalton: Marty is a poet and novelist from Chicago, IL. His spoken word has been featured nationally on NPR and Moody Radio. He’s the author of three books, most recently The Brightest: a novella, a love story about love stories.      

I love Luke Norsworthy, but to say this is an Enneagram 7 Episode would be such an injustice. In this episode we talk about mystery and faith, spiritual practices and enneagram stances, repressed centers, how Threes Sixes and Nines can be repressed and dominant in the same center, parenting, and answering other questions from the audience. And all of this with the joy and flare of 2 Sevens and a super extroverted Two!   Go grab your copy of God Over Good, come see me at an upcoming conference or event, and leave your comments and a review on iTunes! Thank you Luke, and everyone who joined us. Definitely an episode that you will want to listen to more than once!

This is what you get when you have a great interview, with an enneagram 7, and a live audience!  Enjoy Part 1 of Suzanne's conversation with Enneagram 7, Luke Norsworthy. You may know Luke from his podcast, Newsworthy With Norsworthy, and you will definitely want to go out and buy or check out his new book, God Over Good. Luke's wife Lindsey is an Enneagram 1, and they live in Austin with their 3 beautiful daughters. This podcast was recorded at The Micah Center in Dallas in front of a small audience on October 18th. Enjoy!

Today's podcast is Part 2 of the conversation with Enneagram 6, Jamie Ivey. Suzanne, Jamie, and Joel dive into a few of the themes of Jamie's book, If You Only Knew. Be sure to check out Jamie's podcast, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey also! Jamie Ivey is passionate about following wherever Jesus takes her, loving her husband, and trying to be the best mom she can be to the four cutest kids in the world. She loves reading great books, vacationing at the beach, speaking to women, date nights, and could easily eat TexMex three times a day.  She lives in Austin Texas with her husband Aaron (worship pastor at The Austin Stone) and their crazy kids.

This episode was so great we had to break it into 2! Meet Jamie Ivey! Jamie is a podcaster, writer, and speaker from Austin, Texas. She is the proud mama of four kids and the wife of Aaron, worship pastor of The Austin Stone Community Church. Jamie loves to encourage women to passionately follow Jesus through whatever stage of life. She does this through writing and her weekly podcast, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey. Her book, If You Only Knew released in January of 2018. Jamie and Suzanne talk about shame and the church, Sixes and fear, and how Sevens and Sixes process their fears differently. Parenting, relationships with fans and followers, and her book If You Only Knew are some of the topics discussed over the next two episodes!

So great to have LeaAnn on the podcast! LeeAnn has been in the Enneagram Apprentice program with Suzanne for the past 3 years and has done a lot of work! It is so great to hear someone from the feeling repressed stance talk about their need to bring up feelings.  Suzanne and LeeAnn dive into orientation to time and what the downside of being oriented to the future is, and what it may mean to be able to have some balance in that area. What are some of the things that she has missed out on because of her "7ness"? And, what advice would she give to someone in relationship with a 7? All of that is discussed and so much more! We hope you enjoy their conversation, and if you think the podcast deserves a 5 star rating, then leave one and a review wouldn't hurt either!
