About this episode

The episode explores how unwanted identities trigger shame and the impact on relationships through the lens of Enneagram types.

Connect with us : HERE Shame is often less about what we've done and more about who we fear others think we are. Drawing from Brené Brown's, we explore a simple but revealing prompt: "It's important that I'm not perceived as..." The answers expose the identities each Enneagram type works hardest to protect—and the hidden assumptions that quietly shape our relationships, reactions, and sense of self. Focusing on Types Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, and Five, the conversation examines how unwanted identities trigger shame, why our blind spots are often invisible to us, and how growth begins not by defending ourselves, but by accepting the parts of ourselves we'd rather deny.
