• the enneagram and being a police officer
• Leadership Styles
• Vulnerability

"My description of a police officer is: we are normal people, in abnormal circumstances, behaving abnormally, and that becomes normal."

- Mike Alexander

Suzanne traveled to Tennessee in September 2021 for an incredible Enneagram Stances workshop. The questions asked were fantastic, but we didn't have enough time to answer them all, so Joel tucked the cards away in the ol' backpack and broke them out for today's episode of TEJ podcast!

• Resentment and the dependent stance. What about the other 2 stances?

• Fives and feeling

Teaching Tour!

Suzanne is hitting 10 cities across the country for The Enneagram Journey Toward Wholeness book and podcast tour. Visit lifeinthetrinityministry.com/tour22 for information and registration. The first 3 cities registration is up already: Richmond, VA, Birmingham, AL, and Houston, TX. See you on the road for the journey!

Today's introduction:

1. Suzanne talking on stances from episode 50 of The Enneagram Journey podcast
2. Clip from "Zoolander" the hilarious (according to Joel) 2001 movie with Ben Stiller and Jon Voight
3. Ann Willet (4) from episode 60 of The Enneagram Journey podcast

There may not be a workshop or podcast that exists where Suzanne doesn't bring up The Soul of Shame. So it is long overdue that the author, Curt Thompson, enneagram four, joins the show!

With a considerable dose of warmth (and surprising measure of humor), Curt weaves together an understanding of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) and a Christian view of what it means to be human — to educate and encourage others as they seek to fulfill their intrinsic desire to feel known, valued and connected. He understands that deep, authentic relationships are essential to experiencing a healthier, more purposeful life — but the only way to realize this is to begin telling our stories more truly.

After listening to today's episode, be sure and go find your copy of his newest book, The Soul of Desire!

Michelle walks Joel through all 30 paintings (9 core numbers, 18 wings, and 3 triads), giving her thoughts, interpretations, and inspirations for how she painted each one.

It is a BEAUTIFUL series of art that you can find currently at The Eisemann Center in Richardson, TX and at michellebnoah.com

There isn't enough time in a podcast or space here to adequately say how much we love Christine Min!

Christine was born in Los Angeles and is a life-long Angeleno except for three years spent in Washington D.C., where she attended Georgetown Law and met her husband, Michael.

Christine is an attorney and most recently worked as the in-house counsel for a venture-backed sustainable beverage company. She currently provides legal counsel for corporate clients, and also works with mission-driven executives to help grow and develop their teams and businesses. Christine also serves on the board for the Disability Rights Legal Center.

Her husband Michael (also an Enneagram 8) works in finance. They live in West LA and are currently sheltering at home with their two young children, who are 9 and 7 years old, and with Dustin, their 4-year old rescue dog from Korea.

Christine is Korean-American -- her parents immigrated from Korea over 50 years ago.

“People who are thinking dominant, are lazy thinkers.

And people who are feeling dominant are lazy around emotions.”

-Suzanne

Welcome back to The Enneagram Journey Live!

Join Suzanne, Jon Singletary (3), Laura Addis (3), Heather Mustain (6), Craig Nash (6), Jill Herrington (9), and Brett Gibson (9) during this 2 part series as they discuss life on the central triangle of the enneagram. Or the "3-6-9 train" as Father Rohr calls it!

Episode 84 is part 2 of this panel discussion, so if you missed the first half, be sure and go back and listen to Episode 83.

• How are you in a group?
• If you could choose to go be with your enneagram triad or enneagram stance, which would you choose?
• Let's hear about "inner committees", how important efficiency is for some, and making school lunches!

"It's easy for me to just go through life, just doing things, and not being known in what I'm doing." - Jill, enneagram 9

• 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!

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 !

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.

And if you aren't walking through The Enneagram Journey Curriculum with friends, family, neighbors, strangers...anyone really, why not?!

Morgan Harper Nichols is an artist whose work is inspired by real conversations.

She and Suzanne discuss how they as an enneagram 5 and 2 can learn from each other, the different ways they connect to people, the value of stories, and more.

• "I think the way we challenge our personalities is affected by whether or not we're an introvert or an extrovert."
• "I think there is something powerful and beautiful about thinking mindfully about others. We don't always have to say anything."
• "I cut people off from pursuing me by pursuing them first."

• Responding vs. Reacting

“The delivery of the message is equally as important as the content of the message.”

• Disappointment 
• Discernment
• Spontaneity vs. Surprise
• And more of course!

You can find out more about Meredith and her practice at www.milkandhoneycounseling.com

- Meredith McDaniel

Our good friends Brad and Noelle join Suzanne on The Journey today to talk about their relationship, their family, and how they have navigated life over the past 15 years as an Enneagram 7 and 4.

The first half includes a lot of good enneagram stance talk and great discussion on the Head and the Heart and that disconnect in their relationship.

"We realized that we don't know how to argue. He is very good at arguing, and I'm very good at retreating." - Noelle

The second half of the show the Otts share their joys and struggles in building a family. The discussion includes discernment, they're experiences with therapy, and tools and advise for other parents going through tough seasons.

“...learning how to have the freedom within messy trauma to re-write the script of how things are supposed to look.”

Can we discover our children's orientation to time and what can we do with that? Is my husband a 5 or an 8? And lets discuss being a stay at home mom who is a 3 and wondering about her movements in stress and security. Also, enneagram 6, Lindsay O'connor joins the Journey to talk about anxiety and Suzanne breaks down what all enneagram personalities get anxious about.

2020 is just around the corner and that means a whole new season of live workshops and events. Suzanne, Joe, and LTM hope to see you at an upcoming event in Virginia, Tennessee, Colorado, Georgia, or their home of Texas!

We are lighting a candle for you and your Journey here at the Micah Center!

Leslie Bley, enneagram 6, is on The Journey with Suzanne in today's episode!

“It is a particular gift of yours regardless of what is happening in the room, to lead people back to the middle.” Suzanne to Leslie

"One of the reasons its so important to me that people learn the enneagram, because you get to CHOOSE a reaction. And when you don’t know the enneagram, it so often chooses you."

“For 6s, there’s something scary about hope, and there’s something scary about change.” Leslie

“Duty is why I’m brave.” Leslie

Married to Kevin who is an enneagram 9, and mother to twin boys, Leslie is a therapist who lives in Austin, TX. This episode discusses so many topics including the enneagram in therapy, duty vs. desire, and lots of good discussion and distinctions within the Dependent Stance.

Hope you can join Suzanne live in Dallas or online on November 22 for Holidays and the Enneagram! Visit www.lifeinthetrinityministry.com for more information and registration.

Enneagram 3, husband, and father of two beautiful girls, Sean Palmer is on today's episode of The Enneagram Journey! (He is also a pastor, speaker, writer)

This episode is full of so many great sound bites:

"3s don't cut corners. We find efficiencies."

"Why is the investment in who we are and what we believe so low?"

"How many people I have talked to who are married to 1s, and how deeply they love them, but don't understand the 1s feelings about themselves."

This episode also holds some great content about enneagram stances, orientation to time, and how we all deal with failure.

Good luck on Your Journey!

Have you taken a test to find out your enneagram number? Did it turn out to be incorrect? Craig Nash is one of MANY people who has had this experience and he shares it on today's episode of The Enneagram Journey!

You have probably heard more about Carolyn Teel from Suzanne over the years than will be in this podcast episode, but it is long overdue that you hear from Carolyn herself!

Carolyn is an Enneagram 5 and Suzanne's oldest friend. You get to hear how they have made their relationship work as an extrovert 2 and an introvert 5 over the past 50 plus years.

Their conversation goes back to when they had to use a microphone pointed at a record player for the drill team to perform to! Also, we hope you enjoy an intro from Joey Schewee as she talks about the gifts and love that Carolyn has shown her over the years.

This is an episode for everyone! Not just enneagram 1s, or 2s, or 7s, or people interested in learning about diet culture, or people who want to hear about SNAP, or people who want to learn about Belief Systems, or people struggling with shame, or people dealing with their body image....you see where we are going with this.

Meet Enneagram 9, Susan Robb!

A former Kilgore Rangerette and Baylor Bear, mother of 2, and wife of Ike Robb (enneagram 1), Susan was called to seminary when her kids were in elementary school. Susan and Suzanne discuss Calling and what that can cost, but also what it's worth. She has been on staff at Highland Park United Methodist Church now for 18 years.

They discuss her book, Called: Hearing and Responding to God's Voice, the gifts that Enneagram Nines have to offer the rest of us, shame and guilt, and of course much more.

This is a very special episode! Unlike previous podcasts, today's episode is the introduction (first hour) of Suzanne and Joe's workshop, Spiritual Practices and the Enneagram. As it was being edited, it was incredible how many of your questions get answered in the first hour. It was too great not to share!

The hour includes some enneagram introductory information, enneagram history, some next step wisdom. Suzanne addresses trauma, Joe reaches out to Spiritual Directors and Clergy. What is Essence, and why should we do soul work or participate in Spiritual Practices? The 3 Centers of Intelligence, Enneagram Triads, Enneagram Stances, and, and, and!

We hope you grow from this podcast, and if you are interested in hearing the rest of the workshop, it will be available at lifeinthetrinityministry.com and suzannestabile.com beginning July 15th!

Welcome to The Journey! Let's grow deeper together!

If you haven't met Melissa Radke yet, then you are in for a real treat! Author, star of the new USA reality show The Radkes, wife and mother of 2, and enneagram 7, Melissa joins Suzanne on the show today.

One of the best parts of the conversation is hearing about when and how Melissa decided she was "worth the work". Like Melissa, have you ever been told you're "just too much"? They also discuss dealing with grief, they talk about faith, and about growing older.

Enjoy the podcast and after listening be sure to visit melissaradke.com to learn more about Melissa, her family, the show, and her books!

Ann and Caroline have been on a Journey that has included the Enneagram for 7 years now after they attended Suzanne's workshops back in 2012. A lot of people think that 4s and 8s have much in common, and many believe that they are soooooo different. This podcast addresses both sides and talks about how their relationship has evolved as they've grown. What are the differences in parenting young children and adult children? And though he didn't know it, Loren, Ann's husband and Caroline's father, an enneagram 9, gets caught in the conversation's cross hairs as well! 

There is so much gold from both the parent and daughter angle, about both the aggressive and withdrawing stance, someone who deals so much with shame and someone who deals often with anger. I hope you, and your family and friends can glean as much from it as I did!

What is your Repressed Center? Thinking? Feeling? Doing?

Suzanne explains how 1s, 2s, and 6s are Thinking Repressed. How 4s, 5s, and 9s are Doing Repressed. And, how 3s, 7s, and 8s are Feeling Repressed. Remember, "Repressed" can mean many different things for each number in each Stance! People often push back on this topic, but today's episode will help to clear things up, and give us all some tools moving forward.

It's low hanging fruit, but it is fair to say that you have done The Next Right Thing by listening to this episode! Enneagram 4, Emily Freeman, joins Suzanne to talk about discernment and the process of doing The Next Right Thing, which is the title of her newest book and her incredibly wonderful podcast. 

Suzanne and Emily walk through the book discussing the chapters and the significance and overlap of enneagram work and discernment. What role does your enneagram number play when making big, tough, or every day decisions?

You probably know Jeremy and Audrey from the hit T.V. show Little People Big World, but as we discuss in this conversation, that isn't what defines them. You may also have read their new book, A Love Letter Life, but that doesn't define their future either! Jeremy, an Enneagram 9, past oriented and an immovable object, and Audrey, Enneagram 8, future oriented and an unstoppable force talk about their relationship, what they are doing to grow a healthy loving life together, and how they're encouraging others to do the same.

This is a good one!

So great to have LeaAnn on the podcast!

Suzanne and LeeAnn dive into orientation to time and what the downside of being oriented to the future is, and what it may mean to be able to have some balance in that area. What are some of the things that she has missed out on because of her "7ness"? And, what advice would she give to someone in relationship with a 7?

All of that is discussed and so much more!

We hope you enjoy their conversation, and if you think the podcast deserves a 5 star rating, then leave one and a review wouldn't hurt either!
