Episode 85 - Parenting Livestream with Joey and Billy (part 1 of 2)

If you are in any sort of relationship with an enneagram 8 or 9, you want to hear this podcast episode! On May 7, Joey (8) and Billy Schewee (9) joined Suzanne, and then later Joe, to talk about parenting, relationships, the enneagram, struggling, and being vulnerable during the pandemic. Their conversation was so great, we decided to flip it for the TEJ Podcast! In episode 85, the first of two episodes, we learn about: Enneagram 8s and 9s and co-parenting. It's not always so easy! "Scene Control" for 8s Vulnerability vs. Transparency 9s, parenting, and energy Advice for relationships between 2 mothers and their 8 daughters. "I have the highest expectations of you without wanting to be close to you. And that's where the problem comes." - Joey (8) And a very cool and special ending to today's episode from our friends Andy Gullahorn and Jill Phillips!

If you could choose to go be with your enneagram triad or enneagram stance, which would you choose?

Others on The Journey - Enneagram 4s

We are excited to offer a new series of episodes starring you the listeners! Others on The Journey will feature a question presented to Suzanne during a traditional Q&A podcast episode, her response to the question, and then responses from listeners who are on their own Enneagram Journeys. Suzanne often says, she knows the enneagram really well (yup!), but nobody can talk about an enneagram number as well as that number can. And, a main goal and mission of Life in the Trinity Ministry is to grow community. We are excited that Others on The Journey will be an example of both! We start this series hearing from Enneagram Fours, how they feel and what they think about conflict. Be sure to tune in to upcoming Q&A episodes with Suzanne and share your thoughts for upcoming OOTJ episodes at www.theenneagramjourney.org/interact !

Or the "3-6-9 train" as Father Rohr calls it! What does "later" mean to each number? Why is it so hard to determine if your enneagram number is a 9 or 1? How important is Google to 6s? How much do you use it? Be sure to come back for Part 2 on Episode 84!

Episode 82 - Q&A with Suzanne

You have questions, and Suzanne is going to answer them! Suzanne and Joel discuss what 5s look like when they move to their stress and security numbers. Do enneagram Fours like conflict? What is Essence? Aaaaaaand more. "I think a healthy 5 who can appropriately choose and use the high side of 7 and the high side of 8, is kind of a home for everybody." If you are an enneagram Four and would like to share your thoughts on conflict and today's talk, please visit www.theenneagramjourney.org/interact and leave a voicemail! We will compile the responses and share them, because as Suzanne says, nobody can better describe an enneagram number than that number.
