In this episode of The Enneagram Edge, we explore what happens when stress takes over and pulls each Enneagram type away from their natural strengths. Stress does not just affect your mood. It impacts how you think, lead, relate, decide, and show up in both business and life. Margot walks through all nine Enneagram types to reveal how each one tends to respond under pressure, what deeper fear is driving that pattern, and three practical remedies to help each type return to clarity, groundedness, and self-trust. If you have ever felt more reactive, controlling, scattered, withdrawn, self-doubting, people-pleasing, or hard on yourself during stressful times, this episode will help you understand why that happens and what you can do about it. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why stress responses are often predictable patterns rather than random reactions.  (1:18How each Enneagram type tends to get hijacked under stress, the deeper fear under this stress response, and three remedies to interrupt stress to return to your innate brilliance. Type One – The Reformer (3:01 Type Two – The Helper (6:25)Type Three – The Achiever (9:58)Type Four – The Individualist (13:56)Type Five – The Investigator (19:27)Type Six – The Loyalist (24:10)Type Seven – The Enthusiast (28:37)Type Eight – The Challenger (33:16)Type Nine – The Peacemaker (36:57Three Powerful Reflection Questions   (40:48)How does stress hijack me? What am I trying to protect? What would it look like to respond with more awareness the next time I feel pulled off center? Your stress response is not the truest thing about you. It is a protective pattern your system has learned over time. The more quickly you can recognize when you have been hijacked, understand what you are trying to protect, and choose a different response, the easier it becomes to return to your natural strengths. Resources & LinksStress to Strength Coaching Sessions:These powerful coaching sessions will help you uncover what is driving your stress response, calm the pattern underneath it, and reconnect with your natural strengths.  Email her at [email protected] to learn more. Not sure of your Enneagram type?Take the free 10-question assessment:https://tinyurl.com/Enneagram-AssessmentDeep-Dive Enneagram Typing & IntegrationBook a private session with Margot:https://margotzaher.com/enneagram-typing-session/Let’s ConnectFollow Margot on Instagram @MargotMindsetCoachQuestions or feedback?

In this episode of the Enneagram Edge, Margot gets personal and vulnerable about a recent moment that sent her nervous system into full "what if" mode. When a simple misstep off the porch led to a painful, swollen foot just days before an international trip, her Enneagram Type 6 wiring kicked in hard—catastrophizing, spiraling, and berating herself for being "careless."She shares how this wasn't just about a physical injury—but an invitation to practice shifting from panic to presence, self-blame to self-trust, and over-reliance on external reassurance to connecting with her inner knowing.This episode is a compassionate, unfiltered peek into how fear plays out in real life for Type 6s—and the small, grounding rituals that can help you come back to center when life throws you a curveball (or a sprain).What You'll Learn:The misstep that triggered a panic state.
