You Know Yourself. Here’s What Comes Next. Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

Knowing yourself and actually doing something with what you know are two different things.

In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when self-awareness becomes self-trust... in the small choices, boundaries, and moments where you start taking what you know about yourself seriously.

Because eventually, “Why am I like this?” becomes “Okay… now what?”

Next up on Decode Thyself: attachment styles. 🤍

Why Change Feels So Uncomfortable (Even When It’s What You Want) Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Change can be something you genuinely want and still feel uncomfortable once you start living it. In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when you begin showing up differently, the people around you have to adjust, and you feel tempted to slip back into an older version of yourself just because it feels more familiar.

You’re allowed to give people time to adjust without abandoning the changes you’re making. And you’re allowed to be new at being different. 🧡

Why Do We Feel Like We Have to Explain Ourselves? Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

Why does a simple “no” sometimes turn into a full explanation? In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between giving someone context and trying to explain ourselves well enough to earn their approval.

Sometimes you can be kind, clear, and considerate, and someone still might not like your answer.

Why You Keep Waiting for Permission (Even When You Know What You Want) Sep 06, 2026

Show notes

You might already know what you want and still find yourself overthinking, second-guessing, or waiting for someone else to validate it.

We’re talking self-trust, decision-making, people-pleasing, and why more clarity isn’t always the answer. Sometimes the real challenge is trusting what you already know enough to choose differently, even when that choice feels uncomfortable.

Because your preferences don’t need to be approved and notarized before they count.

Why You Still Feel Stuck (Even When You Know Yourself So Well) Aug 30, 2026

Show notes

You’ve journaled, learned your patterns, figured out your attachment style, taken the personality tests...and somehow you still feel stuck. At some point, the question shifts from “Why am I like this?” to “What am I actually going to do with what I know?”

In this episode, we’re talking about the space between self-awareness and actual change: trusting yourself, breaking old patterns, self-advocacy, and making choices that reflect who you’ve become...without waiting until you’re perfectly healed or 100% sure.

Because knowing yourself is powerful. Living like you know yourself is where things start to change.

Enneagram Type 9: The Peacemaker (Why You Keep the Peace and Lose Yourself) May 09, 2026

Show notes

If you’re an Enneagram Type 9, also known as The Peacemaker, you naturally bring calm, harmony, and grounding into your environment.

You see all sides. You go with the flow. You help keep things steady. But underneath that peacekeeping is a deeper pattern...a tendency to disconnect from your own needs, opinions, and desires in order to avoid conflict or tension.

In this episode, we’re talking about:
• The core fear behind Type 9 patterns
• Why avoiding conflict can feel necessary
• The tendency to lose connection with self
• What real growth looks like for Type 9s

This isn’t about becoming more confrontational.
It’s about learning to stay connected to yourself while staying connected to others.

If you’re an Enneagram Type 8, also known as The Challenger, you likely move through life with strength, intensity, and directness.

You don’t back down easily. You protect what matters. And you don’t tolerate being controlled or overpowered. But underneath that strength is a deeper emotional layer, a fear of vulnerability, betrayal, or loss of control.

In this episode, we’re talking about:
• The core fear behind Type 8 patterns
• Why control and strength can feel necessary
• The hidden sensitivity beneath the intensity
• What real growth looks like for Type 8s

This isn’t about becoming less strong. It’s about learning that softness is part of strength too.
