EP189: Psycho-Spiritual Growth via the Enneagram - Part 3

About this episode

Christina Slater explores psycho-spiritual growth through the Enneagram framework, delving into personality patterns and emotional insights.

This is not a “cute personality test” overview. This is deep inner-shadow work, emotional excavation, and probably one of the most confronting episodes in this entire show. In Part 3 of 3, Christina breaks down psycho-spiritual growth via the Enneagram framework, exploring how each type’s core fixation, passion, defense mechanism, and virtue reveal the unconscious patterns that shape their personality.  If you’ve ever wondered why certain people trigger you, why relationships expose parts of you that solitude never will, or why your own personality can feel like both your greatest strength and biggest weakness, this episode will land. Christina walks through each Enneagram type with deeply personal stories, relationship examples, provocative insights, and practical guidance to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and the people closest to you. This is shadow work made personal, and if something in here makes you want to turn it off — that's probably where you need to really lean in. If you are new to this series, start with Episode 187 or, even better, Episode 183 for the deeper foundation. Key Topics Discussed: What psycho-spiritual growth actually means…
