Send us Fan Mail From Performing to Being | The Three's Wholehearted Coaching Journey with Kendri What happens when someone builds their entire self-understanding around one Enneagram Type, only to discover they've been another all along? In this episode, the host sits down with Kendri, a wholehearted coach at WhyCo Coaching, neighbor, and friend, who spent nearly two decades identifying as a Type 1 before a blunt conversation with another coach changed everything. Kendrie opens up about the disorientation (and the exhale) of discovering she's a Type 3, and how a different lens finally made sense of the "you're a failure" background noise she'd carried since childhood. Together they walk through the victim, villain, hero, guide story arc from a Type 3 perspective: the childhood message to "measure up," the performance-for-approval pattern that masked a deep fear of vulnerability, and the quiet ways striving and perfectionism can harm both ourselves and our relationships. Kendrie vulnerably shares how reading The Shack softened her defenses with the phrase "I'm especially fond of you," and how receiving God's specific belovedness, not just a general love, became the turning point from performing to being. The conversation also gets practical: the role of therapy, trusted friendships, and small groups in staying grounded; why vulnerability feels "terribly inefficient" to a Three; and how Kendri uses her gift of discernment to guide others toward freedom. She leaves listeners with a beautiful word she believes God gave her: with grace comes healing, and with healing comes freedom. Mentioned in this episode: The Shack by William P.

Send us Fan Mail Series: Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Three | Episode 2 of 4 Amy interviews Maila Rito about discovering she is an Enneagram Three after years of mistyping as a One and then a Nine, with the realization catalyzed by an August 2024 business crisis in network marketing where public goals, pressure for “more,” and missing a rank triggered shame despite outward composure. A friend encouraged her to read about Type Three, which felt exposing and brought childhood flashbacks, clarifying her drive, moving goalposts, high-functioning anxiety, and emotion-avoidance through constant doing.  Maila describes growth in naming and feeling emotions, setting boundaries to reduce comparison, and processing how Filipina cultural expectations around titles, achievement, and self-effacement shaped her. She shares how a convention stage recognition became a spiritual turning point, leading her to coaching and transforming “Tribe Rising” into a women’s community centered on belonging, healing, purpose, and grace, emphasizing the message that she is loved and enough apart from performance. 00:00 Meet the Enneagram Three 01:33 Mistyped as One and Nine 02:56 The Goal That Broke Me 05:56 Reading Three Felt Exposing 08:52 Chasing More Never Ends 10:53 High Functioning Anxiety 14:17 Learning to Feel Again 16:10 Tribe Rising Origin Story 21:23 Comparison and Boundaries 23:42 Filipino Culture and Success 26:51 Four Wing Push Pull 30:40 Faith Beyond Performance 34:34 You Are Enough Closing 👉🏼 Connect with Maila Rito on Instagram Support the show RESOURCES FOR YOU: My book is now available!

Send us Fan Mail Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type Three | Episode 1 of 4  What does it look like to be the most capable person in the room… and still wonder if you are enough? The Enneagram Three is often admired for her drive, competence, vision, and ability to make things happen. But beneath the achievement can be a quieter question: Who am I when I’m not performing? In this opening episode of Type Three month, Amy sits down with Deanna Sudom to explore the inner world of the Three, the fear of being worthless, the longing to feel genuinely valuable, and the ways a Three can learn to shape-shift into whatever the world rewards. Together, they talk about the strange tension of a life that looks successful on the outside but can feel disconnected on the inside. They explore performance, identity, emotional disconnection, and what happens when achievement becomes a way of securing worth. And then they bring that journey into faith. What happens when a Three approaches her relationship with God the same way she approaches everything else  as something to manage, optimize, and accomplish? What does it mean to receive from God rather than produce for Him? And what might become possible when she finally gives herself permission to simply be? This is an invitation for the Three to recover the self beneath the doing, reconnect with her feelings, and discover the freedom of a worth that was never dependent on her performance. You are worthy and loved before you do a thing. In this episode: • Understanding the heart and motivation of the Enneagram Three • The fear of worthlessness and the longing to be genuinely valuable • Why Threes adapt and shape-shift to meet expectations • The hidden cost of achievement and image management • Moving from performing spirituality to receiving from God • What growth and wholeness can look like for a Three • A simple practice for reconnecting with yourself beneath the doing • A word of encouragement for the Three woman who is tired of performing Scripture Anchor: “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus.”  Ephesians 2:10 IT IS RELEASED as of TODAY: Wholehearted Enneagram get your copy now!

In this episode, Amy sits down with Janay Lanier, a mom of three, worship leader, and longtime friend for one of the most honest and unscripted conversations of the year. Janay spent years identifying as an Enneagram Seven. Energetic, joyful, the person who carries the room. And then motherhood, of all things, gave her fewer places to hide from who she actually was. This is a live, unpolished, real-time conversation, and that's exactly the point. You'll hear about: What it felt like to live inside the Seven story for years, and why it fit well enough to stayThe moment in a park with a friend when a single question stopped Janay in her tracks and lit up a million lightbulbsWhy Janay resisted the Four because it felt too messy, too unsafe, too much like everything she'd been told not to beHow motherhood didn't turn her into someone new; it just gave her fewer places to hide from who she already wasThe childhood message of not too much, not too little, and how it shaped decades of showing up as someone slightly less than fully herselfSitting in the car with sleeping kids and a Fleetwood Mac song, and finally saying out loud that sounds like a FourThe freedom of dropping the shame script and learning to sit with emotion instead of running from itWhat she told the Lord before she was willing to put on the shoes of a Four, and what shifted when He answeredYou were never being fake.

In this episode, Amy sits down with Wholehearted Coach and Type Four Sonja Scott to walk the Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide framework through the Four's unique lens, and what emerges is one of the most honest maps of the Four's inner landscape this series has offered. Sonja brings both her personal story and her coaching work with women and families to a question every Four has lived: how do you stop erasing yourself long enough to discover that your depth was never the problem? You'll hear about: The rejection wound at the root of the Four's Victim story and how it can quietly become self-rejectionSelf-erasure as the Four's Villain role, the slow disappearing act that looks like keeping the peaceThe pivot moment in Sonja's own story that marked the beginning of her second volumeBeing the hero in everyone else's story before learning to be the hero in your ownThe difference between carrying someone's story and embodying it and what healthy Guide energy actually looks like for a FourThe too much vs. not enough pendulum and the Voice of Love that tells the Four she is exactly rightRaising teenagers as a Four and how she is learning to stay attuned without getting stuck in the mud with themWhy when we deem parts of ourselves unworthy, we lose our place in the plot of God's storyYou are not too much.

This week, Amy shares the conversation she had with her dear friend and Type Four, Sara Hagerty, author, mother of seven, and one of the most honest voices she knows on grief, hope, and the sacred work of finding God in the fenced-in places.

You'll hear about: The difference between feeling limited and being limited, and why both matterWhat Sara's son's battle with Lyme disease taught her about mystery, acceptance, and the stories God writes that we would never chooseWhy grief skipped becomes grumpiness and what it looks like to actually lean inFrench Fry Beach Night and the surprising gift of marking small celebrations in the middle of profound lossThe pilgrimage of slow and what Sara has been learning about her phone, her anxiety, and the frenzy underneath modern lifeA word for the woman who has been interceding for something to change and wondering if it ever willThe unplanned season is not a detour from the story; it is the story.

Amy opens Type Four month with something that has never happened in this series before: Deanna Sudom, her trusted colleague and co-teacher all year long, steps out from behind the teaching role and into the guest chair to share her own story as a Type Four. Deanna came to Amy as a coaching client. She did her own wholehearted work. She became a certified Wholehearted Coach.

You'll hear: Sam Eldredge (Enneagram 4) on why so many of us are chasing a polished version of ourselves that will never actually satisfy and why that's not transformation; it's exhaustionSimi John (Enneagram Six) on what burnout actually is, why it keeps finding the same people, and what two years of solitude and inner work taught her about healingSean Palmer (Enneagram Three) on what the Enneagram offers when life collapses and why your strengths are exactly the wrong tool for getting outSarah Jackson (Enneagram Six) and I had a conversation on the difference between spiritual hustle and spiritual renewal and what it looks like to give from a well that doesn't run dryChuck DeGroat (Enneagram on slow, courageous character change, everyday narcissism, and what it actually looks like when the Enneagram becomes a wisdom tool rather than an excuseThis is the conversation the summit was built around: the Enneagram can name your patterns.

Amy closes Type Five month with Sherri Hughes-Gragg, a Christian author and Bible teacher, who joins for one of the most theologically rich conversations of the year. Sherri has spent her career doing what Fives do best: going deeper than anyone else into the culture, history, and geography of Scripture, and then bringing back everything she found as a gift for others. Together, Amy and Sherri explore what it looks like when the Five’s extraordinary interior life stops being a place of retreat and becomes a place of offering, and what it means to linger in the Savior’s presence when your instinct is always to study, prepare, and observe. In this episode: Why the Five’s love of depth and research is not just an intellectual gift, it’s a spiritual oneWhat it actually costs a Five to take what she’s studied in private and offer it publiclyWhat the Five most needs to hear about presenceThe difference between studying God and being known by Him, and why that distinction matters most for the FiveA word for every Five who has been preparing to step forward… and is still waiting until she knows enoughYou have more to give than you know. And you don’t have to retreat to be safe.

Georgia shares what it actually looked like to navigate a blended family, pour herself out professionally in a caregiving field, and walk the long road of reconciliation with a brother she’d been estranged from — all while learning that she had far more to give than she ever believed.

Send us Fan Mail The Other Bennet Sister finally gives Jane Austen's most overlooked sister the story she's always deserved—and we're having far too much fun talking about it. In this special midsummer detour, Amy is joined by Payge and Annaliese for a lively conversation about Mary Bennet's long-overdue redemption arc, the personalities behind the Bennet sisters, and, of course, our unofficial Enneagram typing of everyone from Mary to Mr. Hayward, Mr. Ryder, and females in the Bennett family. Together we explore what it means to move from the sidelines into your own story, why Mary has spent so long believing she was meant to be overlooked, and the beautiful moments that mark her journey toward confidence, agency, and belonging. Along the way, we debate the great romantic question—is it Team Hayward or Team Ryder? Whether you've recently read The Other Bennet Sister, watched the BritBox adaptation, or simply love a good character study, this episode is a joyful blend of literary discussion, personality insights, and a celebration of the quiet people who discover they were never meant to remain in the background. Because sometimes the most compelling hero isn't the loudest person in the room—it's the one who's finally learning to believe her own story matters.
