The Enneagram Journey

Br5aking The Cycle

The Enneagram Godmother + The Great Russ Hudson + The Reverend
Where do we sign up?!?!
Today's podcast episode comes from the LTM teaching event in Dallas, Br5aking The Cycle (don't worry, you'll learn why it is spelled that way and what 5a means).
As you'll hear Joel explain, this 2 hour teaching is only the opening for the rest of the next 10 hours, but it is an entire workshop in itself!
There is nobody Suzanne holds in higher regard when it comes to Enneagram Wisdom than Russ Hudson. The real magic that comes out in this weekend's teaching is that Suzanne, Joe, and Russ are each in different Enneagram Triads: Suzanne, Heart - Russ, Head - Reverend, Gut. And the teaching is on Enneagram Triads, managing your dominant center of intelligence, and how we br5ak this darn cycle!

October 2024 Q&A

Its Q&A time on The Enneagram Journey!
Suzanne and Joel sat down to record today's episode at The Micah Center and decided at the last moment to turn on the camera. Having the camera on contributed to the conversation about seeing a therapist and accountability, and the show just takes off from there.
Some of the things you'll here in this episode:
A question about a 7 and 5 relationship
this leads to some subtype talk
What needs to fall away when you go to therapy?
Enneagram 6s and Trust
Are 6s the most controlling personality?
A 4 and 5 parenting adult children
A great Chuck Knoblauch joke that Suzanne talked over
aaaaand more!
"Tell me what you want, and I'll tell you whether or not I can give it to you."

We've officially named Luke the first member of The Enneagram Journey 5 Timer Club! It's a big deal.

Luke (Enneagram 7), Suzanne, and Joel got a little distracted by some great conversation, so Suzanne and Luke are going to continue their talk on Instagram Live Wednesday, July 3 at 3:00 pm CST. You can find Suzanne on Instagram @suzannestabile and Luke @lukeanorsworthy

Alison McCrary (3) Part Two - Calling and Community

The highly anticipated second part of our conversation with Alison McCrary (enneagram 3) is here!
The Reverend (Joseph Stabile) takes host duties in today's episode as he and Alison talk about their callings and their journey. Alison started Methodist and now is Catholic. Joe started Catholic and now is Methodist. Wow, the journey they've been on!
Would the Reverend make a good butcher?
Alison and the Black Panthers teaming up?
Could Suzanne and Joe keep up with Alison for a day?
Today's episode is light on enneagram, but so heavy on Journey, and we think that is a great thing, and hope you do too!
Two links from the podcast that we hope you'll check out:
Alison talks about her work with inmates on death row. If you would like to learn more and support that ministry, click here.

Alison McCrary (3) - Big 3 Energy, Spiritual Practices, Queer Eye

"A contemplative practice is any act, habitually entered into with your whole heart, as a way of awakening, deepening, and sustaining a contemplative experience of the inherent holiness of the present moment."
-James Finley
 
What an honor it is to have Alison McCrary join us on The Enneagram Journey!
Who knows the people you might get to talk to when you're just sitting on the couch watching an episode of Queer Eye?! Alison, an enneagram 3, is a New Orleans based political, cultural, and spiritual warrior. She learned her number when she was in formation to become a Catholic Sister.
Two great things about this episode. First, the Reverend joins the show! Second, we knew there was going to be so much to talk about that this is the first part of a two parter.
