122: Dealing with Your Insecurities using the Enneagram

I don’t care if you know your type...⁣<br />⁣<br />...or even work with the Enneagram professionally—this stuff is hard. Personal development and self growth and doing the work is never for the weary.⁣<br />⁣<br />Listen now⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />I was originally mistyped as a 3.⁣<br />⁣<br />And me and 3s did not get along. I viewed a lot of them as weak for needing attention and low-key was envious that they made things look easy—especially when it came to vulnerability.⁣<br />⁣<br />My friend Tiffany has a hard time letting people take care of her.⁣<br />⁣<br />But when we were together in California recently, I was cooking and cleaning for her, and in exchange, she helped me with strategy for my business, because I am the worst self-marketer of all time. You know who’s good at marketing? 3s.⁣<br />⁣<br />But as an 8, I don’t like to be questioned.⁣<br />⁣<br />And that’s what Tiffany did: she asked me questions about a new program I want to offer, how it should be structured based on my current programs, etc. etc...⁣<br />⁣<br />Tiffany is a 6, the Loyalist, and naturally asks a lot of questions. And when she goes into interrogation mode—which comes from a good place—I get triggered. It makes me feel weak, and like I don’t have things handled.⁣<br />⁣<br />Listen to this week’s episode to learn what I realized...⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />Quotes:⁣<br />⁣<br />1:33 ⁣<br />Personal development and self growth and doing the “work” on ourselves is never for the weary. ⁣<br />⁣<br />4:02 ⁣<br />I know that there is more for me to do with all of you.⁣<br />⁣<br />6:30⁣<br />Using the Enneagram has allowed me to be a great marketer but I am terrible self- marketer. ⁣<br />⁣<br />10:37 ⁣<br />As an Enneagram 8, I assume if you’re asking me tons of questions that you think I’m weak and don’t have this handled and that is like the death of an 8. ⁣<br />⁣<br />12:46⁣<br />I know, without a question or a doubt that I am the very best at what I do. ⁣<br />⁣<br />14:13 ⁣<br />All my 6’s out there you guys are like prepared for wor
