The Enneagram is a map of the human personality. It’s a tool for navigating relationships. It creates language for what motivates us and helps us look at the way we look at everything else. Most importantly the enneagram is a mirror; because sometimes you need help seeing yourself.

    I searched on a long shot when husband exclaimed he wanted to hear more ‘1s’, but it was easier listening to a man’s voice. As the one, I feel like Jeff did a great job “laying us out”. I look forward to checking out his number shows, 5. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Enneagram and the Shape of Our Sex Lives | Dr. Sam E Greenberg (5) and Lyndsey Fraser LMFT (9)
Q: Can you define sexuality for me?
Sexuality is a multi-dimensional construct that includes physical acts, emotional connections, and the meanings individuals attach to intimacy. It varies greatly between people and is shaped by personal history, values, and relationship dynamics rather than a single universal definition.
"Early Access" | Sisters | Enneagram 1 & 6 * Lindsay & Leah
Q: What role does autonomy play in your partnership and when is it balanced with relationship?
Autonomy is valued, but they recognize relationship as the resource that sustains collaboration; they work to balance independent action with ongoing, trustful communication to support the group and the mission.
"Early Access" | Sisters | Enneagram 1 & 6 * Lindsay & Leah
Q: How do you handle disagreements about marketing and outreach while staying authentic?
They acknowledge the need to be pragmatic yet truthful, setting boundaries around what is communicated externally to avoid superficial or misleading messaging, and they renegotiate as needed to stay aligned with their core ideals.
"Early Access" | Sisters | Enneagram 1 & 6 * Lindsay & Leah
Q: What makes it easy for a One and a Six to work together?
They find a shared respect and trust, plus a strong social instinct alignment; they can rely on each other to do the responsible thing and communicate openly about any missteps.
Enneagram and Autism | An Interview with Christina Young
Q: Could you share your experience about moving from diagnosis to understanding and how Enneagram informs your parenting approach?
Christina explains discovering Enneagram as a map that helps explain why each child behaves the way they do, especially given their neurodivergent wiring, and how this understanding guides responsive, child-led strategies.
