Ever wonder why parenting feels like a personal rollercoaster—and what your Enneagram type might have to do with it?
Kate Mason sits down with dynamic Enneagram expert Jackie Contessa to explore how each of the nine Enneagram types plays out in parenting.
Jackie—known for her no-fluff, deeply compassionate coaching—dives into the “big fat why” behind each personality type and how understanding these motivations can change how we parent, connect, and even relate to ourselves.
Whether you’re a perfectionist One, a peace-seeking Nine, or an enthusiastic Seven, this episode offers invaluable insights (and a few laughs) into how your type shows up in the parenting trenches—and what to do about it.
