In this Enneagram Adventure episode, hosts Holly and Tannah (IEQ9 certified coaches) share quick life updates, then explore insecurities and how “anything in excess becomes a weakness,” especially when strengths shift from chosen gifts to ego-driven protection. Inspired by Holly’s session with somatic performance coach Brandon, they discuss how the same “not good enough” insecurity can show up as self-criticism or entitlement, and they give examples across all nine Enneagram types: 8s doubling down on “I’ll show you,” 2s over-caring and suppressing anger, 3s chameleoning into self-deceit, 4s getting stuck in heavy emotions, 5s withdrawing to overthink and avoid needs, 6s over-questioning and certainty, 7s avoiding pain with optimism, 9s conflict-avoidance and silencing needs, and 1s perfectionism becoming criticism.

In this Enneagram Adventure episode, IEQ9-certified coaches Holly and Tannah discuss why Enneagram mistypes happen and how to spot them by focusing on core motivation rather than behavior. They explain how stress, assessments taken at different life seasons, wings, and especially subtypes (social, self-preservation, one-to-one) can make people “look like” other types. Using their own examples, they cover common mistype pairings including Social 2 vs 3 (ambition and image vs appreciation needs), one-to-one 5 vs 4 (emotional detachment and boundaries vs emotional comfort and self-revelation), 1 vs 5, 1 vs 2 (people-pleasing/authority approval), 3 vs 8 (adaptability vs pushing through), 4 vs 7, 8 vs 9, counterphobic 6 vs 8, and 3 vs 6. They invite listeners with mistype questions to reach out and also request volunteer guests—especially Type 1s—for their upcoming guest series.

Enneagram’s Viral Moment: What Beatrice Chestnut Says Most People Get Wrong (and How to Actually Do the Work)

On the Enneagram Adventure podcast, hosts Holly and Tannah interview Enneagram author and teacher Beatrice Chestnut about using the Enneagram for real growth rather than stereotypes. Chestnut shares how she learned the Enneagram in 1990 through psychiatrist David Daniels and Helen Palmer’s early work, identified as a Type 2, and later became a psychotherapist and Enneagram educator. The conversation covers the upside and downside of the Enneagram’s popularity on social media, how it can become superficial or used as an excuse, and how deeper work involves facing discomfort, shadow patterns, and growth under stress. Chestnut explains “false self” vs “true self,” why your type doesn’t change, offers a primer on all nine types, and discusses the re-release of The Complete Enneagram alongside her upcoming book The Enneagram of Connection.
