    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.

    The Enneagram Three and Being Known | A Three's Wholehearted Journey with Maila Rito

    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 Support the show RESOURCES FOR YOU: My book is now available!

    The Enneagram Three's Sacred Ease | Performance, Identity & Trusting God with Deanna

    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!

    Send us Fan Mail Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Four | Episode 4 of 4 What if the number you've been living inside was never really yours? In this episode, Amy sits down with Janay Lanier, a mom of three, worship leader, and longtime friend for one of the most honest and unscripted conversations of the year. Janay spent years identifying as an Enneagram Seven. Energetic, joyful, the person who carries the room. And then motherhood, of all things, gave her fewer places to hide from who she actually was. This is a live, unpolished, real-time conversation, and that's exactly the point. You'll hear about: What it felt like to live inside the Seven story for years, and why it fit well enough to stayThe moment in a park with a friend when a single question stopped Janay in her tracks and lit up a million lightbulbsWhy Janay resisted the Four because it felt too messy, too unsafe, too much like everything she'd been told not to beHow motherhood didn't turn her into someone new; it just gave her fewer places to hide from who she already wasThe childhood message of not too much, not too little, and how it shaped decades of showing up as someone slightly less than fully herselfSitting in the car with sleeping kids and a Fleetwood Mac song, and finally saying out loud that sounds like a FourThe freedom of dropping the shame script and learning to sit with emotion instead of running from itWhat she told the Lord before she was willing to put on the shoes of a Four, and what shifted when He answeredYou were never being fake.

    Send us Fan Mail Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Four | Episode 3 of 4 What if the thing you've been told is too much... is exactly what the world needs from you? In this episode, Amy sits down with Wholehearted Coach and Type Four Sonja Scott to walk the Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide framework through the Four's unique lens, and what emerges is one of the most honest maps of the Four's inner landscape this series has offered. Sonja brings both her personal story and her coaching work with women and families to a question every Four has lived: how do you stop erasing yourself long enough to discover that your depth was never the problem? You'll hear about: The rejection wound at the root of the Four's Victim story and how it can quietly become self-rejectionSelf-erasure as the Four's Villain role, the slow disappearing act that looks like keeping the peaceThe pivot moment in Sonja's own story that marked the beginning of her second volumeBeing the hero in everyone else's story before learning to be the hero in your ownThe difference between carrying someone's story and embodying it and what healthy Guide energy actually looks like for a FourThe too much vs. not enough pendulum and the Voice of Love that tells the Four she is exactly rightRaising teenagers as a Four and how she is learning to stay attuned without getting stuck in the mud with themWhy when we deem parts of ourselves unworthy, we lose our place in the plot of God's storyYou are not too much.
