Brian Hollingsworth (6) and Anna Fleig (8) reflect on their friendship in light of their Enneagram types. Both Type 6 and Type 8 are courageous, loyal, protective and committed to worthy causes. They both can energetically support their relationship, and share the view that the world is fundamentally an unfriendly and untrustworthy place. With this perspective they also can be oppositional, contrary, controlling, challenging and suspicious. Learn more about Heart of the Enneagram. Donate Now to support future episodes of this podcast.

Pat Bailey (2) and Dee Irwin (9) reflect on their 28 year partnership through the perspective of their Enneagram types. Both Type 2 and Type 9 have many similar tendencies and attributes that they bring to their relationships with each other. Both types are sensitive, pleasing, accommodating, helpful, focused on and responsive to others, and have a natural desire for harmony. Both also have difficulty knowing and expressing their own wants and needs, and setting limits. Learn more about Heart of the Enneagram. Donate Now to support future episodes of this podcast.

Longtime friends Fran Newsom and Nancy Dunn talk about the relationship dynamics between Enneagram Types 2 and 6.

Beth Poslusny (3) and Tyler Miller (7) share about their relationship as colleagues who've worked together at the Biltmore Company for more than eight years. Both Type 3 and Type 7 are real look-alikes. They are both oriented to projects, optimistic, enthusiastic and are highly active. They also tend to feel a sense of freedom when pursuing separate interests and tasks. This relationship, however, can be hindered by both types’ tendencies to avoid painful feelings, negatives and difficulties, and their mutual habit of overbooking themselves.

Sisters Betsy (4) & Deb (9) Vingle talk about their relationship through the lens of their Enneagram types. Both Type 4 and Type 9 are empathetic, caring and feeling-oriented, and have a seeking quality and a deep desire for connection.
