E56: Enneagram Basics Refresher: Core Motivations, Virtues & Orientation to Time (Types 1–9)

from Enneagram Adventure · host Tannah Flora and Holly Deschenes

Hosts Tannah and Holly open with upper Midwest weather swings, parenting challenges around kids’ big emotions and screen-time detox, and a story about one child being recognized for helping a classmate and the resulting sibling jealousy. They introduce the podcast’s Enneagram focus and explain that the Enneagram centers on core motivation (deeper than assessments like Myers-Briggs), plus virtues (healthy return to self) and time orientation, not to “put people in a box” but to recognize patterns and offer a path out. They review all nine types by triads: 8 (Challenger: strength/control; virtue innocence; future), 9 (Peacemaker: avoid conflict; virtue right action; past), 1 (Perfectionist: be good; virtue serenity; present), 2 (Helper: be loved/needed; virtue humility; present), 3 (Achiever: success; virtue truthfulness; future), 4 (Individualist: identity/uniqueness; virtue equanimity; past), 5 (competence; virtue non-attachment; past), 6 (security; virtue courage; present), 7 (happiness/avoid pain; virtue sobriety; future). They close with a call to subscribe, review, and follow, mention possible merch, and note a Substack blog version.00:00 Snow Day Chaos00:39 Big Feelings Parenting02:30 Praise And Sibling Rivalry04:21 Podcast Welcome And Setup05:07 Enneagram Basics Refresher07:32 Gut Triad Overview08:05 Type Eight Challenger14:15 Type Nine Peacemaker18:41 Type One Reformer25:19 Heart Triad Begins25:28 Type Two Helper29:21 Two Humility Practice30:59 Two Time Urgency32:10 Three Truthfulness Over Image33:35 Three Future Focus Procrastination36:01 Four Equanimity Grounding37:48 Four Past Romanticizing38:55 Five Competence Nonattachment42:17 Five Reflection Overthinking43:40 Six Courage Preparedness45:46 Six Present Time Paradox46:28 Seven Sobriety Reality49:01 Seven Future Whats Next49:51 Wrap Up Wings MerchEmail the Podcast : [email protected] us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&_r=1https://enneagramadventure.substack.com/
