What does the essence of an Enneagram 9 sound like? How can music—as a creative, nonverbal, soul-driven art form—bypass personality defenses and speak directly from who we truly are?
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Andrew J. Lynch, a drummer and music producer, to explore how music can reflect the essential qualities of an Enneagram 9: peace, depth, open-mindedness, groundedness
Together, we discuss:
• The difference between essence and personality in the Enneagram
• Timing, flow, and losing yourself in the music
• How Enneagram type influences how we play and listen to music
• Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the creative process
• Sacred Geometry, Love, Fear, and Mystery
Whether you’re a Nine, love a Nine, or are curious about how music can serve as a mirror of the soul, this episode is a rich, inspiring exploration of how the Enneagram shows up beyond words.
