The Enneagram Five and Withdrawal | A Five's Wholehearted Journey with Georgia Wolfe Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Five | Episode 2 of 4

What does a Five do when the very thing she most fears (needing people) becomes the doorway into the life she’s always wanted?

In this episode, Amy talks with Georgia, a Type Five medical professional whose story is one of the most honest portraits of Five courage you’ll hear. Georgia shares what it actually looked like to navigate a blended family, pour herself out professionally in a caregiving field, and walk the long road of reconciliation with a brother she’d been estranged from — all while learning that she had far more to give than she ever believed.

You’ll hear about:

Why Georgia initially managed the pain of estrangement the way Fives manage most pain — by going inward and going quiet
What it cost her to stay in a relationship with her bonus son when love felt like something she might not have enough of
The moment she realized that withdrawal wasn’t protecting her — it was just making her lonelier
How reconciliation with her brother became a spiritual practice, not just a relational one
The practices that helped her move from guarded to genuinely present
What she’d tell a Five who is standing at the edge of a relationship that terrifies them

This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about discovering that connection doesn’t actually empty you the way you feared it would.

You have more to give than you know. And you don’t have to withdraw to be safe.

The Five's Sacred Wisdom | Depth, Depletion & Trusting God with Deanna Sudom Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

What does it look like to be the most prepared person in the room… and the most alone?

Amy opens Type Five month with her co-teacher and spiritual director, Deanna Sudom, exploring a type that is profoundly misunderstood, often seen as cold or aloof when they are actually among the most perceptive, generous, and deeply feeling people you will ever know.

You’ll hear about:

The Five’s core fear of being depleted, incompetent, or incapable — and how it shapes every relationship and decision
Why Fives aren’t emotionally unavailable… they’re protecting something precious
The difference between a Five who withdraws out of fear and a Five who is learning to give from overflow
How Fives experience God — and where the longing for knowledge meets the invitation to trust
The gift of the Five’s wisdom, depth, and singular capacity for focused presence
A practice for Fives who are ready to move from observation into connection

Whether you’re a Five yourself or you love one, this conversation is an invitation: you don’t have to earn your place at the table by knowing enough. You already belong.

You have more to give than you know. And you don’t have to disappear to be safe.

The Sidekick Gets Her Moment | A MidSummer Enneagram Journey with the Other Bennett Sister Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

The Other Bennet Sister finally gives Jane Austen's most overlooked sister the story she's always deserved—and we're having far too much fun talking about it.

In this special midsummer detour, Amy is joined by Payge and Annaliese for a lively conversation about Mary Bennet's long-overdue redemption arc, the personalities behind the Bennet sisters, and, of course, our unofficial Enneagram typing of everyone from Mary to Mr. Hayward, Mr. Ryder, and females in the Bennett family.

Together we explore what it means to move from the sidelines into your own story, why Mary has spent so long believing she was meant to be overlooked, and the beautiful moments that mark her journey toward confidence, agency, and belonging. Along the way, we debate the great romantic question—is it Team Hayward or Team Ryder?

Whether you've recently read The Other Bennet Sister, watched the BritBox adaptation, or simply love a good character study, this episode is a joyful blend of literary discussion, personality insights, and a celebration of the quiet people who discover they were never meant to remain in the background.

Because sometimes the most compelling hero isn't the loudest person in the room—it's the one who's finally learning to believe her own story matters.

Content note: This episode includes a discussion of suicidal ideation as part of Nathan's testimony. If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available by call or text, 24/7.

This month's Enneagram journey is on a midsummer pause, and so today, a spontaneous detour. Actor Nathan Gamble (Babel, Marley and Me, Bad Counselors, in theaters July 22–27) joins Amy for a conversation that starts with summer camp and Hollywood and ends up somewhere much deeper: his own Enneagram 3 story, how personality tools shaped his work on set, and the testimony behind his faith, including an honest, vulnerable season most guests wouldn't share out loud.

This is a fun, unexpected, and ultimately tender conversation for the middle of your summer.

Midsummer Breath Prayers | A Grounding Practice for All Nine Enneagram Types Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

You’re at the height of summer and also at the edge of what comes next. Vacations and dorm room plans. Celebrations and back-to-school lists. Football practices in the morning, fireflies in the evening. If you feel the tension of being in two seasons at once, this episode is for you.
In this short, grounding episode, Amy offers a contemplative breath prayer for each of the nine Enneagram types anchored in Isaiah 43 and the ancient practice of pairing Scripture with breath.
This isn’t about forcing peace. It’s about interrupting the spiral, just for a moment, and remembering what’s true.

The Enneagram Six and Faith | Church, Community & "All Shall Be Well" with Sarah Jackson Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Who can I trust? Is this community safe? Is this the leader they say they are?

Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type 6 | Episode 4 of 4

These aren't just anxious questions for the Enneagram Six; they're the constant, exhausting background hum of how a Six moves through the world. And nowhere does that hum get louder than in the church.

In this closing episode of Six month, Amy sits down with Sarah Jackson, licensed pastor, spiritual director, seminary graduate, and Type Six, for one of the most theologically rich conversations in the entire series. Sarah brings both her professional formation and her lived experience as a Six navigating church hurt, leadership dynamics, and the lifelong work of learning to trust God, community, and herself.

She talks about the Six's defense mechanism of splitting, how it quietly applies to God himself, and what it means to hold nuance instead of constantly dividing the world into safe and unsafe, good and bad. She introduces the grief practice that quiets the inner committee when nothing else will. She draws on Julian of Norwich, "all shall be well" as the deepest expression of what a Six most longs to believe. And she offers one of the most practical spiritual tools in the series: the welcoming prayer.

This is a beautiful close to a month that has asked a lot of the Six and offered even more in return.

In this episode:

Why the Six is one of the hardest types to self-identify, and why the Six resists hearing descriptions of herself
Church hurt through a Six lens on how to differentiate the institution from the people in it
The Six's constant "vibe check" all in or deeply skeptical, with not much in between
Performance community vs. genuine community and why the distinction matters so much to a Six
Anger as anxiety in disguise, what Sarah's husband sees when she's scared
Grief is the quieter of the inner committee and the most unexpected spiritual practice in the episode
Splitting as the Six's defense mechanism and how it applies to God
Julian of Norwich and the Six's deepest longing: "All shall be well"
The welcoming prayer, a practical liturgy for releasing control and receiving love
Moses, as the Six's biblical hero, was scared but went in anyway

Sarah Jackson is a licensed pastor, spiritual director, and Enneagram practitioner serving with her husband who leads the Communion of Saints church in Colorado Springs.

Moving From Hypervigilance to Trust | Transformation for the Enneagram Type Six with Gwen Sledge Jun 23, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

What does the VVHG journey look like for a Six who has spent her career holding space for other people’s fear?

Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type 6 | Episode 3 of 4

In this episode, Amy talks with Gwen Sledge, a Wholehearted Coach, former nurse, and Type Six who knows from the inside what it’s like to be the steady, reliable, vigilant one... and what it costs. Gwen walks through the Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide framework through a Six lens, drawing on her own story and her work coaching women who are ready to stop managing everything and start living from something deeper.

This episode is especially for the nurses, caregivers, and first responders in this community; the Sixes who have given their vigilance to everyone else and are ready to find out what groundedness feels like for themselves.

In this episode:

The Six's loud inner committee and how it differs from the One's inner critic
How the three Six subtypes present differently: social, self-pres, and counter-phobic
The victim role: freezing, scenariating, and waiting for the second shoe to drop
The villain role: anxiety projected outward, resentment, and relinquishing responsibility, then resenting it
What it looks like when a Six steps into the hero — trusting discernment, coming back to center
"Lord, I trust you, but I don't trust me," and why that's still a trust problem
The guide role: holding space without gripping, and relinquishing an inflated sense of responsibility
The lie most Sixes carry: "It's all up to me"
"Fear is not the boss of me" — the truth statement that counters it
What those who love a Six most need to hear: don't dismiss us
A special word for nurses and caregivers in the Six community

You are braver than your fear. You don’t have to scan the horizon alone.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

What does a Six do when everything she’s built her security on starts to shift at once?

Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type 6 | Episode 2 of 4

In this episode Amy talks with Samantha Compton; a Type Six financial wealth advisor, entrepreneur, and former client whose story is one of the most honest portraits of Six courage you’ll hear. Samantha shares what it actually looked like to launch her youngest, step out of an institution to build her own business, and navigate community change... all while helping other people plan for their financial futures.

You’ll hear about:

Why Samantha initially struggled to trust her own discernment when every external structure was shifting
The breaking point that made her realize scanning for danger wasn’t the same as being safe
What it took to step out on her own professionally when security was her deepest longing
How community loss hit her Six core differently than she expected
The practices that helped her move from anxiety to groundedness
What she’d tell a Six who is standing at the edge of a transition that terrifies them

This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about discovering that the courage was there all along... even when the fear was louder.

God is bigger than your fear. You don’t have to scan the horizon alone

Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type 6 | Episode 1 of 4

What does it look like to be the most loyal person in the room... and the most afraid?

Amy opens Type Six month with her co-teacher and spiritual director Deanna Sudom, exploring a type that is deeply misunderstood; often seen as anxious or suspicious when they are actually among the most courageous, committed, and trustworthy people you will ever know.

You’ll hear about:

The Six’s core fear of being without support or trustworthy guidance, and how it shapes every relationship
Why Sixes aren’t pessimists... they’re realists preparing for a world that has sometimes let them down
The difference between phobic and counterphobic Sixes, and why they can look like completely different types
How Sixes experience God, and where the search for a trustworthy authority meets the invitation to trust
The gift of the Six’s loyalty, courage, and commitment to community
A practice for Sixes who are ready to move from anxiety into grounded faith

Whether you’re a Six yourself or you love one, this conversation is an invitation: God isn’t the authority who will let you down. He’s the one who has never left.

God is bigger than your fear. You don’t have to scan the horizon alone.
