What do stress spirals, people-pleasing, and your go-to meltdown mode have in common? They all make perfect sense — once you know your Enneagram type. In this lively conversation, Catherine Quiring and Jackie Contessa dive into the wild world of the Enneagram, showing how this ancient tool can help you make sense of your quirks, calm your inner chaos, and finally get out of your own way.
Jackie spills on how the Enneagram cracked open her self-awareness, and then breaks down how things like anxiety, anger, and shame show up for different types (spoiler: no one’s off the hook). They get real about why people-pleasing is exhausting, how your family role might still be running the show, and how coaching can help untangle the mess.
If you're ready to laugh, learn, and maybe cry a tiny bit (in a good way), this episode is your permission slip to grow with curiosity, not judgment — and to reconnect with who you were before all the “shoulds” showed up.
