Around the Circle | An Enneagram Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Generation X Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

Like the Enneagram, our Generation--its technologies and events--shape how we see the world.

In this conversation with Katie Whitlock, we will be exploring the values and cultural markers of Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z, weaving together films, music, shared culture, and the defining experiences that mark each era.

In this episode we tackle Gen X: from latchkey kids and divorce to the rise of the internet and shifting individualism, we ask what makes each generation unique, how those shifts impact personality and relationships, and why the Enneagram found fertile ground in Gen X’s world.

Mistyping | Elliot from the UK | 9, 1 or 6 Sep 08, 2025

Show notes

Jeff sits down with Elliot, a Kiwi in London. They trace Elliot’s deconstruction and church life, his work building inclusive spaces, and how the Enneagram has helped him sort clarity from certainty.

Dr. Sam Greenberg | Sex and The Enneagram Sep 03, 2025

Show notes

Sexuality isn’t just behavior—it’s an internal experience. We sit down with researcher-coach Dr. Sam Greenberg to map how Enneagram type and instincts shape desire, cues, assertiveness, and intimacy. Sam outlines the gifts and challenges of each instinct, why instincts often predict sexual patterns more than type, how repressed instincts show up in the bedroom, and what happens in common pairings (like self-pres x sexual). We also hit evolutionary frames, honeymoon-phase myths, “service sex,” stress/context loads, and practical ways couples can reduce friction and increase connection—without shame.

What you’ll learn

A working definition of sexual desire vs. sexual behavior
Why instincts set the framework and type adds nuance
Gifts/challenges of self-pres, social, and sexual dominance
How repressed instincts derail empathy, safety, or passion
Common pairing dynamics (self-pres × sexual, etc.) and best practices
Why stress, sleep, money, and context change desire—and what to do about it

Mistyping | Tami from MI | 3, 4, 5, or 6 Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

Tammy joins Jeff for a live mistyping session that moves from opera halls to IT dashboards—and into the deep stuff beneath type. A lifelong Michigander with three degrees, a choir section-leader, and a self-described “walking contradiction,” Tammy is blunt and kind, fiercely independent, and devoted to care (for people…and five cats). Together we explore comparison, authenticity, and the tension between being known and staying buttoned-up.
