EP422: You aren't STUCK. How to get your EDGE back using the Enneagram

You didn’t wake up one day and decide to play small, but somewhere along the way, you started shrinking—shrinking your truth, your voice, your edge. In this episode, I’m diving into what it really means to reclaim your edge, why you feel stuck, and how the Enneagram is the ultimate roadmap to break free from the patterns that are quietly keeping you stuck. This isn’t about surface-level fixes or cute personality labels. This is about integration, transformation, and calling your power back home.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why you’re not stuck because you’re weak—you’re stuck because you’re over-identifying with the protective patterns that once kept you safe.
• How the Enneagram reveals your default wiring, blind spots, and potential so you can stop looping in survival mode.
• The difference between exertion (stress) and expansion—and how to shift into the version of you that doesn’t need protection to feel powerful.
• Why your edge isn’t gone—it’s just buried under layers of protection, fear, and fatigue.
• How to use the Enneagram as a compass to reclaim your edge and lead yourself with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Key Takeaways:

1. Your Edge Isn’t Lost, It’s Buried: The habits, stories, and protective mechanisms you built to survive are now keeping you stuck. The Enneagram helps you identify these patterns and dismantle the cages you’ve built around yourself.
2. Superpower vs. Kryptonite: Every Enneagram type has a superpower, but it only works when it comes from love, compassion, and grace—not fear, insecurity, or ego. Understanding this is the key to stepping into your true power.
3. Exertion vs. Expansion: Exertion is the path your type takes under pressure—it’s not bad, but it’s a warning light. Expansion, on the other hand, is the version of you that doesn’t need protection to feel powerful. The Enneagram shows you how to shift from exertion to expansion.
4. Radical and Compassionate Honesty: To reclaim your edge, you have to be brutally honest with yourself about where you’re stuck—but without beating yourself up. Shame and judgment will only keep you looping in the same patterns.
5. Integration Over Information: Knowing your Enneagram type is cute, but embodying your highest expression is where the transformation happens. This is about using the Enneagram as a tool for integration, not just information.
