    The Enneagram Two and Learning to Receive | A Two's Wholehearted Journey with Sarah Cronin

    Send us Fan Mail Series: Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Two | Episode 2 of 4 The Enneagram Two and Learning to Receive | A Two's Wholehearted Journey with Sarah Croning What happens when the helper needs help learning to receive? In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Cronin , a fellow wholehearted coach turned Disney Cruise travel advisor, to unpack the beautiful, complicated, and sometimes painful inner world of the Enneagram Two. Sarah shares the moment she first heard the Type 2 chapter on an audiobook and sobbed in her car, finally feeling seen in a way she'd never been able to articulate. We explore connection as the Two's deepest thread and how the shadow side of that desire shows up as bitterness when giving goes unacknowledged, whether it's cleaning the house on a Sunday while everyone watches football, or walking away from a friendship feeling unseen. We also get honest about the cost of always being the one who pours out. Sarah describes realizing she had become "a vessel that things poured through instead of one that gets filled up and then pours out" and how that insight reshaped her coaching, her receiving, and ultimately her career pivot to planning Disney Cruise vacations, a role she calls "the perfect recipe for a Two." If you're a Two who struggles to receive, or you love one who does, this conversation is an invitation to pause, create space, and remember that God is El Roi: the God who sees you. About Sarah:  Sarah Cronin is a wife and mom of three kiddos, ages 7 to 11, and is absolutely loving this season of motherhood and getting involved in her local community. She owns Chara Vacations, where she plans Disney Cruises for families all over the country. A former Wholehearted Coach and an Enneagram Two, she is passionate about creating space for people to connect with God, each other, and themselves. *Only through November 15, 2026!* Get your first subscription order of AG1 Essentials Gummies for just $29, plus free shipping.

    Frank Peretti on This Present Darkness at 40 | Prayer, Fear & the Unseen Realm

    Send us Fan Mail BONUS EPISODE with world-renown writer, Frank Peretti. Frank Peretti on This Present Darkness at 40 | Prayer, Fear & the Unseen Realm Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness  was first published in 1986  became one of the most widely read and culturally influential Christian novels of the modern era, reaching far beyond evangelical circles to readers of every background. Forty years later, Frank sits down for a wide-ranging conversation about the book's lasting impact, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the craft of writing that shaped it all. In this episode, Frank shares his writing process in detail from "brain spill" brainstorming to the "clothesline" method of outlining, and his thoughts on the plotter-vs-pantser debate. He reflects on how his approach has evolved, what he's learned from writing fiction, memoir, and everything in between, and why he believes the best spiritual warfare storytelling doesn't start with demons it starts with people. The conversation also dives into what spiritual warfare actually means, the role of angels and prayer, why fear gets so much of our attention when most of the real battle is unseen, and how the Darkness books helped readers move from a vague idea of spiritual warfare to something concrete and personal. Whether you grew up reading Peretti's work or are discovering it for the first time, this is a conversation about storytelling, faith, and the invisible world that refuses to stay hidden. Frank Peretti is a New York Times bestselling Christian suspense author whose books have sold more than 15 million copies.

    The Two's Sacred Need | Helping, Receiving & Trusting God with Deanna Sudom

    Send us Fan Mail Type Two Episode 1 with Deanna Sudom The Two's Sacred Need: Helping, Receiving & Trusting God with Deanna Sudom What happens when the person who loves everyone the hardest can't name a single need of her own? This month on the podcast, we step into Enneagram Two territory and we're not starting with the strengths. We're starting underneath them. Because a Two's generosity isn't just a gift; it's often a strategy. A way of earning safety. A way of staying loved. Deanna Sudom returns to help us trace the thread from a Two's core fear: being unloved for who she is and not just what she does. The Enneagram Two must encounter the sacred space that having needs isn't selfish, weak, or unspiritual. It's human. And God made you human on purpose. Amy and Deanna talk about the helping that doesn't feel optional, the exhaustion that comes not from loving too much but from needing something you won't ask for, and the quiet loss of self that happens when a Two shapes herself to everyone else's needs and forgets how to hear her own. Deanna shares stories of women she's watched wrestle with this; a friend who couldn't believe she had the right to set a boundary, a daughter-in-law learning to stop the spiral, a room full of Twos who couldn't sit still while someone else served supper. The beautiful promise of scripture: Psalm 23, can be key for the Two to embody. "He makes me lie down. He leads me. He refreshes me." The Two doesn't have to earn her care and rest. She simply has to receive it. If you've ever thought your needs were too much, too inconvenient, or too demanding? Then this episode's for you. You are worthy to receive. Deanna Sudom is a Type Four and longtime member of the Wholehearted community. As Amy's trusted spiritual companion and former coaching client, she brings both personal depth and relational wisdom to the Two's landscape and a Four's particular gift for sitting with what is tender without rushing past it. *Only through November 15, 2026!* Get your first subscription order of AG1 Essentials Gummies for just $29, plus free shipping.

    Worth Beyond Work | The Three, Business & the Deeper Question with Erin Port

    Send us Fan Mail Type Three Episode 4 with Erin Port Worth Beyond Work | The Three, Business & the Deeper Question with Erin Port This is the closing conversation of Enneagram Three Month. Erin Port, creator of Simple Purposeful Living, spent years believing she was a Two. Then business coach Alli Worthington asked a question that changed everything: "I don't think you're a Two. You're a Three." What followed was an identity crisis that led Erin through a business downturn, a reckoning with the numbers she'd tied her worth to, and a faith shift that reframed her entire life. In this conversation, Erin and Amy explore what it means to be a Three running a business where achievement and identity are inherently tangled. Erin shares how the slump of 2023 exposed the measuring stick she'd been carrying — and how laying down the numbers for an entire quarter, as an act of obedience to God, became the turning point. "My worth was no longer tied to those numbers, and those numbers could then become evidence and data points in a way that they couldn't before." They also dig into faith and the Three's core wound: the belief that you're only as valuable as your last win. Erin talks about discovering God as the CEO of her business, learning that everything she has is a gift, and the shift from seeing God as harsh to seeing Him as patient and kind. She shares a powerful vision of handing her work back to God as an offering: "God doesn't say it has to be perfect. God just says, 'Give it all you've got.'" Plus: what Erin wants every Three to hear about vulnerability over achievement, the tiny tweak of letting today's to-do list be enough, and the Three Month closing affirmation: You are worthy and loved before you do a thing.

    From Performing to Being | The Three's Wholehearted Coaching Journey with Kendri

    Send us Fan Mail From Performing to Being | The Three's Wholehearted Coaching Journey with Kendri What happens when someone builds their entire self-understanding around one Enneagram Type, only to discover they've been another all along? In this episode, the host sits down with Kendri, a wholehearted coach at WhyCo Coaching, neighbor, and friend, who spent nearly two decades identifying as a Type 1 before a blunt conversation with another coach changed everything. Kendrie opens up about the disorientation (and the exhale) of discovering she's a Type 3, and how a different lens finally made sense of the "you're a failure" background noise she'd carried since childhood. Together they walk through the victim, villain, hero, guide story arc from a Type 3 perspective: the childhood message to "measure up," the performance-for-approval pattern that masked a deep fear of vulnerability, and the quiet ways striving and perfectionism can harm both ourselves and our relationships. Kendrie vulnerably shares how reading The Shack softened her defenses with the phrase "I'm especially fond of you," and how receiving God's specific belovedness, not just a general love, became the turning point from performing to being. The conversation also gets practical: the role of therapy, trusted friendships, and small groups in staying grounded; why vulnerability feels "terribly inefficient" to a Three; and how Kendri uses her gift of discernment to guide others toward freedom. She leaves listeners with a beautiful word she believes God gave her: with grace comes healing, and with healing comes freedom. Mentioned in this episode: The Shack by William P.

    Send us Fan Mail Series: Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Three | Episode 2 of 4 Amy interviews Maila Rito about discovering she is an Enneagram Three after years of mistyping as a One and then a Nine, with the realization catalyzed by an August 2024 business crisis in network marketing where public goals, pressure for “more,” and missing a rank triggered shame despite outward composure. A friend encouraged her to read about Type Three, which felt exposing and brought childhood flashbacks, clarifying her drive, moving goalposts, high-functioning anxiety, and emotion-avoidance through constant doing.  Maila describes growth in naming and feeling emotions, setting boundaries to reduce comparison, and processing how Filipina cultural expectations around titles, achievement, and self-effacement shaped her. She shares how a convention stage recognition became a spiritual turning point, leading her to coaching and transforming “Tribe Rising” into a women’s community centered on belonging, healing, purpose, and grace, emphasizing the message that she is loved and enough apart from performance. 00:00 Meet the Enneagram Three 01:33 Mistyped as One and Nine 02:56 The Goal That Broke Me 05:56 Reading Three Felt Exposing 08:52 Chasing More Never Ends 10:53 High Functioning Anxiety 14:17 Learning to Feel Again 16:10 Tribe Rising Origin Story 21:23 Comparison and Boundaries 23:42 Filipino Culture and Success 26:51 Four Wing Push Pull 30:40 Faith Beyond Performance 34:34 You Are Enough Closing 👉🏼 Connect with Maila Rito on Instagram *Only through November 15, 2026!* Get your first subscription order of AG1 Essentials Gummies for just $29, plus free shipping.

    Send us Fan Mail Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Three | Episode 1 of 4  What does it look like to be the most capable person in the room… and still wonder if you are enough? The Enneagram Three is often admired for her drive, competence, vision, and ability to make things happen. But beneath the achievement can be a quieter question: Who am I when I’m not performing? In this opening episode of Type Three month, Amy sits down with Deanna Sudom to explore the inner world of the Three, the fear of being worthless, the longing to feel genuinely valuable, and the ways a Three can learn to shape-shift into whatever the world rewards. Together, they talk about the strange tension of a life that looks successful on the outside but can feel disconnected on the inside. They explore performance, identity, emotional disconnection, and what happens when achievement becomes a way of securing worth. And then they bring that journey into faith. What happens when a Three approaches her relationship with God the same way she approaches everything else  as something to manage, optimize, and accomplish? What does it mean to receive from God rather than produce for Him? And what might become possible when she finally gives herself permission to simply be? This is an invitation for the Three to recover the self beneath the doing, reconnect with her feelings, and discover the freedom of a worth that was never dependent on her performance. You are worthy and loved before you do a thing. In this episode: • Understanding the heart and motivation of the Enneagram Three • The fear of worthlessness and the longing to be genuinely valuable • Why Threes adapt and shape-shift to meet expectations • The hidden cost of achievement and image management • Moving from performing spirituality to receiving from God • What growth and wholeness can look like for a Three • A simple practice for reconnecting with yourself beneath the doing • A word of encouragement for the Three woman who is tired of performing Scripture Anchor: “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus.”  Ephesians 2:10 IT IS RELEASED as of TODAY: Wholehearted Enneagram get your copy now!
