    Michael Shahan on IFS, the Enneagram and Understanding Your Inner World through Compassion

    In this episode of The In-Between, Evan sits down with Michael Shahan—a licensed therapist, Enneagram specialist, and IFS practitioner—who helps people shift from self-judgment to self-leadership through deeper self-awareness and compassion. Michael’s journey began unexpectedly when a couple he counseled discovered the Enneagram, transforming their marriage—and sparking Michael’s passion for using this powerful tool in his practice. But it wasn’t until he faced his own fears, mistyped his own Enneagram number, and embraced the discomfort of self-discovery that his work took on new meaning. Together, we explore why lasting change begins with curiosity instead of shame, how our most uncomfortable emotions hold the keys to freedom, and what it really means to flourish by accepting ourselves exactly as we are. This conversation is for anyone wrestling with anxiety, secretly judging their own struggles, or feeling ready for deeper self-understanding—but unsure where to begin. Takeaways: 👉 Why awareness alone can spark powerful transformation 👉 How to recognize when fear is quietly driving your decisions 👉 Why the parts of yourself you resist the most need compassion, not criticism 👉 What Michael means when he says, “The problem is the problem, not you” 👉 How Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help you understand your inner conflicts 👉 Why acceptance isn’t resignation—it’s empowerment 👉 The hidden connection between spirituality and emotional health 👉 How the Enneagram can reveal your blind spots and your gifts 👉 Why real flourishing begins with accepting your fears rather than escaping them This Episode Is for You If… You feel stuck repeating patterns you know aren’t serving you You’ve experienced anxiety, self-doubt, or shame around your inner struggles You’re secretly wondering if your coping strategies are doing more harm than good You’re tired of fighting yourself and ready for deeper peace and clarity You want a practical path to self-compassion—not just positive thinking 📝 Show Notes: https://itstheinbetween.com/episode28-michael-shahan/

    Samantha Mackay on Recovering Creativity, Unexpected Survival Strategies, and Using the Enneagram as a Path to Healing

    What if your best traits—the ones that made you successful—were also the ones keeping you stuck? And what if your next chapter isn’t about reinvention, but about recovering the parts of you you had to silence just to survive? In this episode of The In-Between, Evan sits down with Samantha Mackay—visibility coach, former lawyer, and Enneagram guide—who helps solopreneurs and artistic humans birth the projects that won’t leave them alone. After a health crisis forced her to leave law and confront the chronic stress her body could no longer carry, Samantha began a journey of healing—one that led her to a quieter kind of strength, and to creative work that felt true. Together, they explore what it takes to trust your instincts again, how to tell when you’re coping vs. creating, and why expression isn’t just for artists—it’s for anyone who feels like they’ve outgrown their old life but don’t know what’s next. Takeaways: 👉 When “strengths” like charm, productivity, or people-pleasing are actually survival strategies👉 How childhood creative wounds shape adult self-expression👉 The invisible cost of being “on” all the time👉 Why nervous system safety is essential for reinvention👉 How the Enneagram helps us reclaim essence—not just manage behavior👉 What it means to return to old work with new boundaries👉 How intuitive creativity—like painting or dance—helps us hear what’s been buried 📝 Show Notes:⁠ ⁠⁠https://itstheinbetween.com/episode26-samantha-mackay/⁠

    From Pastor to Pickleball Entrepreneur: Joe Freudenberg on Leaving Ministry, Being A Man, and Staying on Mission

    In this episode of The In-Between, Evan sits down with Joe Freudenberg—former youth pastor turned entrepreneur, coach, and founder of Pickleball CourtPro. Joe’s journey is one many vocational leaders will resonate with: a quiet realization that the life he’d built no longer aligned with the mission he felt called to live. Joe shares what it was like to leave vocational ministry without a clear next step, the slow and often disorienting season that followed, and how unlikely mentors and manual labor helped him rediscover provision, purpose, and possibility. From flipping eBay items in a basement to building pickleball courts and coaching other dads, Joe’s story is a powerful testament to how God uses the in-between. We talk about the emotional toll of transition, what it means to rebuild not just a career but a sense of calling, and how Joe’s family is now living out a vision he first shared in his twenties—this time, funded by his own business. He reflects on what kept him going when he wanted to quit, how finding “the right person” made all the difference, and why flourishing, for him, is measured by the fruit he sees in his home. Joe also shares how he’s now helping other dads leave ministry, start businesses, and pursue a deeper alignment between calling, capacity, and conviction. Takeaways: 👉 Why Joe left ministry without bitterness—but with deep confusion 👉 What wandering seasons can teach us if we give them space 👉 How assembling IV pump parts created mental room for transformation 👉 The story behind Joe’s first court build—and the conversation that made it possible 👉 Why ministry leaders often underestimate their transferable soft skills 👉 The importance of asking for help—and how one person can shift everything 👉 What Joe believes flourishing looks like now as a husband, father, and business owner 👉 Why creating space for your family’s vision might matter more than ever This episode is for anyone who’s left ministry, is questioning their next move, or is in the messy middle between identity and income. If you’ve ever wondered, “What do I do with all these skills I can’t put on a resume?”—this one’s for you. 📝 Show Notes at: https://itstheinbetween.com/episode25-joe-freudenberg/

    Jason DeMeo on Artistic Intelligence, Transition, and Creative Permission

    In this episode of The In-Between, Evan sits down with Jason DeMeo—artist, designer, keynote speaker, and co-founder of We Are Curio. Jason’s vocational journey has taken him from corporate call centers to church leadership, from vintage Etsy shops to full-time abstract art. Through it all, a common thread emerges: the courage to listen to what’s stirring underneath—and the willingness to follow it.Jason shares how the arc of his life has followed five-to-seven-year creative seasons, what it feels like when the old ways stop fitting, and how art became a way to trust emergence rather than force outcomes. He reflects on what it means to navigate change through intuition, spiritual listening, and play—and why side projects matter more than we think.We talk about the sacred mess of the creative process, why permission is often what we’re waiting for (even if we don’t say it), and how artistic intelligence is something every person carries—not just trained artists or creatives.He also introduces the AWE framework (Adopt the mindset, Work the practice, Exhibit the art) and explains how memory fragments, reverse abstraction, and gold leaf became not just materials, but metaphors for meaning.Takeaways: 👉 How push and pull can help us discern when it’s time to shift—or stay 👉 Why transitions often begin with discomfort before clarity 👉 The story of how Jason moved from consulting to art without a formal background 👉 What “reverse abstraction” and “memory fragments” teach us about healing and integration 👉 Why every artist needs a sacred space and regular practice 👉 The difference between being an artist for others and creating for yourself 👉 Why Jason believes artistry is inherent—and how to begin recovering it 👉 A commissioning to see yourself as art and live from that truth This episode is for anyone wondering what to do with that side project that won’t leave you alone, anyone standing at the edge of “what’s next,” or anyone who needs to hear that creating from your truest self isn’t just allowed—it’s essential.If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up 👍 , subscribe, and share it with your friends.📝 Show Notes: https://itstheinbetween.com/episode24-jason-demeo/
