Classic Replay: What Really Motivates Each Enneagram Type

While we take a short break from our Lost in Translation series, we’re re-releasing one of our most loved episodes: Motivations.In this conversation, Damon and Kelly lay the foundation for understanding the Enneagram by exploring what truly motivates each type. It’s not just what you do that defines your number...it’s why you do it. From the One’s drive to do what’s right, to the Nine’s longing for peace, this episode helps you see what’s beneath the surface of your own personality and those around you.Whether you’re new to the Enneagram or just need a refresher, this replay will help you listen with fresh ears and new insight.In this episode of Beyond Your Number (recorded under our earlier name, Enneagram U), Damon and Kelly dig into the motivations behind each Enneagram type.You’ll learn:Why the Enneagram is more about why than what you do.How each number’s motivation shapes their choices, strengths, and struggles.The difference between healthy and unhealthy motivations.How to spot your own underlying drive by paying attention to time, energy, and patterns.Why awareness of your “dark side” motivation helps keep you balanced.This is a foundational conversation that still resonates, and it’s a perfect refresher as we continue forward with Lost in Translation in a few weeks.Follow us on Apple Podcasts and leave a review:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagramu/id1691530997Follow us on Spotify and leave a review:https://open.spotify.com/show/2kbIVeByJn4WDoN3kFlUId?si=65a99542c46a49fa
