E57: Willingness, Pain, and Growth: Enneagram Insights for All 9 Types

Tannah and Holly open with a casual chat about erratic March weather in Wisconsin, parenting challenges, reducing kids’ screen time, and enjoying outdoor activity, including an outdoor Peloton run with inaccurate distance tracking. They mention interest in a new Enneagram workplace book, then introduce their Enneagram Adventure podcast and remind listeners that Enneagram is about core motivation, not behavior. Inspired by a Rich Roll clip, they discuss “willingness” as essential for change and how pain—both involuntary (health scares, loss) and voluntary (exercise, hard conversations, cold plunge, early mornings)—can catalyze willingness. They apply this to each Enneagram type by stance: 3/7/8 must slow down and sit with discomfort; 4/5/9 must stay present and be seen; 1/2/6 must loosen perfectionism, stop overgiving, and tolerate uncertainty. They close by noting you can only work with the willing, asking for reviews, and teasing future merch and a retreat.00:00 March Weather Catchup00:36 Kids Chaos And Screens02:31 Real Life Experiences03:06 Outdoor Peloton Run05:17 New Enneagram Work Book07:02 Podcast Setup And Disclaimer08:18 Willingness And Pain17:43 Voluntary Versus Involuntary21:27 Assertive Types Three Seven Eight29:08 Withdrawing Types Intro29:30 Type Four Seen31:44 Type Five Show Up34:09 Type Nine Change Push39:46 Compliant Stance Overview40:09 Type One Inner Critic42:54 Type Two Overgiving Trap47:27 Type Six Uncertainty Loop50:31 Wrap Up And NextEmail the Podcast : [email protected] us:https://www.instagram.com/enneagramadventure/https://www.tiktok.com/@enneagram.adventu?_t=ZT-8tydSisg9ra&_r=1https://substack.com/@enneagramadventure
