On today’s episode, Deedra and Megan discuss enneagram stances in a new way. In episodes past, they’ve taught stances as grouping enneagram numbers by which center of intelligence is repressed. While that’s still a true part of stances, they now also agree that stances can be defined by our relational energy. Also, as part of the discussion, they consider how stance energy can also be used in our relationship to God and how sin is still more a part of the diSINtegration of our beings rather than simply a behavior we need to stop.
For an introduction to stances, see Episode 13: Enneagram structure overview.

Last year we offered an episode straight from Highway 44--a road trip recap for our listeners! But today we have for you a recap of our recent cruise to the Bahamas. But don't worry; we aren't here just to talk about paradise islands and having fun on the cruise deck. Instead, we're offering a vulnerable look into how each of us prepared ourselves mentally and emotionally, with IFS and enneagram work, for a week's vacation and the return to real life.
Episode 58: Road Trip Edition
Megan and Deedra dive back into the roots of Dauntless Grace: discovering the narrative we script for ourselves to protect ourselves from pain. In this conversation, they unpack: what shame means according to Dr. Curt Thompson; Father Richard Rohr's description of "the cult of innocence" and repentance; how we stay asleep to our ego selves; and how we all strive to hide, not heal, our shadow selves.
We are continuing the words of the year discussion with some voicemails and messages from our listeners! Words of the year aren't magical; as Deedra and Megan have talked about each year, words simply provide a focal point as we move through our years. It's a way to focus on the Lord and on showing ourselves more compassion and growth despite the circumstances that come our way. Take a listen to what some of our listeners have to say about it!
Megan and Deedra discuss their words of the year (dance and play, respectively) for 2022 and what they looked like for them. They also reveal their new words for 2023! Do you have a word of the year chosen? What is it?
Instead of the normally heavy Christmas episode you've come to expect from us, we decided to have some laughs this year! Deedra and Megan discuss their favorite Christmas movies--and which ones rank at the bottom of the list. Will you be surprised by what they each choose? Which obscure movies have you heard of? And most importantly, what's YOUR favorite Christmas movie? Leave a comment below!
We're back with the finale of our subtype conversation. As we discussed in the introduction, there are three subtypes for every enneagram number, based on the three instincts (self-preservation, social, and sexual). In this episode, we talk through the subtypes and countertypes for Enneagram Fives, Fours, Threes, Twos, and Ones. Plus, Deedra and Megan process on air about their own subtype stacking and how it's changed for them as they've learned more.

We're back with a continuation of our subtype conversation.

We talk through the subtypes and countertypes for Enneagram Nines, Eights, Sevens, and Sixes.

It's finally that time--we are ready to talk about enneagram subtypes! Subtypes are formed around three instincts we all have: self-preservation, social, and sexual (or one-to-one). Listen as Megan and Deedra explore the following:
Approaching the holiday season can be difficult, but it's important not to gloss over those moments of grief with spiritual bypassing. Deedra and Megan discuss how important it is to hold the tension of the both/and in life, how shadows make the light seem brighter, and sitting with all the parts of ourselves in those moments.
In this episode, they referenced Episode 25: Enneagram and Harmony Triads.
Deedra and Megan work through happiness: what is it, how do we get it, and why do we need to be aware of it? Like any emotion, happiness is neutral. It’s an indication of what is going on beneath the surface. Happiness by definition is the feeling of pleasure or contentment as the result of favorable circumstances. Happiness can be found when our Spirit-led Self experiences moments of pleasure from a whole and free existence. Happiness can also be found when our overworked managers are keeping us from pain and securing the things we think we need to survive.
Listen as they run through each enneagram type and discuss what might make each type happy. Plus: they both admit which three fictional characters they relate to most! Notes: Episode 83: Anger and the Enneagram Megan's Instagram
