In the final episode for Season 2, Tabs and Michelle debrief on where the season has taken them and jump into some of your very smart questions! From exploring FOMO to delving into ‘when is enough enough’, they open up about what they’re learning along the way.

Special episode this week as Michelle chats to Bruce and Ursula (both Enneagram 9s) about what the 3 can learn when we move towards the 9 in health or stress! They explore all the hot topics from being without doing, prioritising relationship over goals and tasks, to being connected to others without losing yourself, there’s lots for us 3s to learn from the Peacemaker 9. 

This one is for all our parent friends… and those thinking about starting a family…

We discuss the highs and lows of parenting as a 3. Michelle takes us through her parenting journey and how her 3-ness manifests at each stage. Meanwhile, Tabs explores how being an Achiever has informed her view on what it means to family plan. They unpack how parenting can bring more depth and light to our 3-ness, and shape us for the better, if we allow it! And in true Achiever fashion, they chat about how to create some #parentinggoals.

Tabs sits down with the excellent Enneagram coach and The Nine Design podcast host Sarina Sherring (an Enneagram 6) who shares how 3s and 6s are intrinsically connected, how we access Type 6 behaviours and what we can learn from the Type 6. They discuss the behaviours of the 6s in stress like anxious planning and negative thought spirals, and how it plays out for the 3s. And, they explore how 3s tap into the healthy 6 behaviours like asking questions to scenario plan, slowing down to reflect on who you are and sitting with your emotions. 

This week, we’re back at it with a conversation about friendship. We explore what 3s desire in a friendship and share the challenges of finding and forming deep relationships as a 3. We question what makes us as 3s good friends and where we might need to work a little harder in being better friends to those around us. This is one worth listening to if you’ve started questioning what friendship truly means to you!  

Did you know there are three different ‘versions’ of the Enneagram 3 Achiever?! This follow up conversation with Enneagram coach and practitioner Renate Landman is a fascinating deep dive around the sub types/ instincts. Are you Self Preservation, One-to-One or Social? For instance, you might be like Renate and Michelle who are both Self-Preservation Achievers… they don’t promote themselves that much publicly because they're vain about not being vain. Ouch.  Find out what the differences are, why it matters and what to do about it.

We are privileged to speak with Enneagram coach and practitioner Renate Landman about the Type 3. We explore the core fears, the passion and fixation of the 3. Renate shares her wisdom of how we can use the Enneagram to notice the vanity and deceit of the Type 3 and move towards authenticity. This is an episode worth listening to, to truly understand the complexities and depth of the Enneagram and how it relates to us as achievers.

This week, we’re taking a break from the stress talk to have some fun! We look at the superpowers of the 3, and take some time out to recognise the gifts Enneagram 3s can bring into the world. If you’re in need for an ego boost, this one is for you!
