    EPISODE 2

    How the Enneagram Can Help Us Understand and Navigate Our Relationships

    In this episode, in keeping with our mission to equip each other with strategies for ultimate and lasting mental health, Toni and Lisa explain the ancient theory of the Enneagram which is an organized tool that explains our core beliefs, motivations, and personalities. Learning our enneagram personality type, and learning about the other personality types, is like a super power through which to view personality types through an insightful new lens where we might learn more deeply about ourselves and help us better navigate both healthy and toxic relationships. Toni and Lisa had a bit of fun by choosing examples of enneagram types from TV, movies, books and celebrities! So fun! Free Enneagram Test: (Test #2 is the short version Lisa mentions.) https://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/test Where each type goes when healthy and unhealthy: https://ninetypes.co/blog/enneagram-movement-points Great books and articles about the enneagram: The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile: https://www.amazon.com/Road-Back-You-Enneagram-Self-Discovery/dp/0830846190/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1673116081&sr=8-1 Enneagram types: https://www.forbes.com/health/mind/enneagram-types/ Thorough enneagram information: https://www.integrative9.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAzeSdBhC4ARIsACj36uGWp5v6K7cUe7j3Otj8MCA2qm5RJxLaW6tu9seCaeoDxmWclhbxl20aAlGBEALw_wcB https://www.integrative9.com/enneagram/ If you enjoyed our podcast, please leave us 5 stars.

    EPISODE 3

    Navigating Narcissism Using the Enneagram: Toni and Lisa Discuss What Each Enneagram Personality Type Looks Like as a Narcissist

    Following on the heels of last week’s episode, the enneagram is such a useful tool to help us better understand ourselves, our needs, our motivations, our fears and it can help us improve relationships and better shape our goals and values. For this episode, we are going to navigate narcissism using the enneagram! We thought it would be interesting and helpful to examine the traits of each enneagram type from a narcissistic lens. We want to examine how each enneagram type can show up in an unhealthy, narcissistic way as each type can lack empathy, avoid intimacy, and/or develop a superiority complex. For more information about The Heart Magnet, you can listen to our episode covering it on Season 1, Episode 12. If you enjoyed our podcast, please leave us 5 stars. We would really appreciate it!

    The Steps to Recognizing and Breaking Free from Narcissists and Toxic Relationships

    Toni and Lisa discuss how all the past episodes lay a foundation for a specific order of steps in the learning process for people whether in healthy or in narcissistic, abusive and toxic relationships.
