   Sevens | Stress and Security Panel

   Are Enneagram Sevens really avoiding pain? Or is something deeper driving their relentless pursuit of possibility, experience, and connection? In this episode of Around the Circle, Jeff is joined by Lindsay Davis Marx and Marianne Biglin for a revealing conversation about the inner world of Enneagram Sevens. Together, they explore how Sevens relate to their thinking, feeling, and body centers—and what happens when they move toward One in stress and Five in security. This time, Jeff pushes back on some familiar Enneagram stereotypes. Sevens aren't necessarily afraid of pain, disconnected from their emotions, or incapable of slowing down. Their experiences suggest something more complicated: a deep desire to live fully, a fear of losing life's possibilities, and a longing to be genuinely seen and understood. Along the way, they discuss perfectionism, chronic illness, optimism, emotional vulnerability, relationships, and the surprising ways Sevens find stillness and security. What if the Seven's greatest struggle isn't avoiding suffering, but learning to embrace the life they have—even when it doesn't go according to plan?

   Sixes | Stress and Security Panels

   We are beginning a huge project and would love your help. We will doing eight more interviews of this kind in 2026, for each of the types. If you are interested in being interviewed, please let us know either in the comments or send us a direct message. We need folks who are positive of their type, have done at least 3 years worth of work, and are familiar with our work. Thanks! Jeff __ We are speaking with Kristin Messegee, Christy Engle and Nicole from Austin—who work every day with anxiety, embodiment, and the inner life of Sixes. Together we walk through how Sixes relate to all three centers (heart, head, and body), what it’s like to live with a “maniacal clown” mind, and why calm can feel more dangerous than stress. We talk about emotional detachment and positivity masks, the way Sixes outsource certainty to other people, and the work of learning which thoughts not to believe. The panel digs into somatic practice, health anxiety, over-functioning for family, and how stress nudges Sixes into a very Three-ish, outcome-driven “I’ll just do it myself” mode—alongside the shame, self-doubt, and “trash baby legs” humor that shows up there. We also name what security really feels like for Sixes: grounded bodies, present-moment awareness, a softer spiritual lens, and the courage to trust their own wisdom. In this conversation we explore: The difference between feeling emotions and thinking about emotions What it’s like to live in your head while trying to look warm, relaxed, and positive How Sixes learn to spot thoughts that aren’t trustworthy The role of the body: over-caffeinating, overdoing, and slowly rebuilding trust with the soma Stress moves to Three: visibility, competence, frenzy, and “I’m the only one who sees the problem” Security moves to Nine: calm, present-moment practice, spirituality, and right-sizing fears This one is packed with lived experience, concrete practices, and some very Six-flavored honesty.

   Fives | Stress and Security Panel

   We had a stellar discussion with Melissa Kircher, Josiah Goff and Nadia Brackett. This is a highly informed, self aware conversation about Five-ness, the Fives relationship with their heart and body, and what it looks like to see the world from their center.

   Fours | Stress and Security Panel

   In this episode of Around the Circle, Jeff and TJ sit down with their biggest panel yet—six Enneagram Fours—to talk about stress, security, and what happens when Fours move toward Two and One. Along the way, the panel talks about how Fours experience their thoughts through story and emotion, what it means to feel understood, and why relationships and emotional connection matter so deeply. We spend a lot of time on the Four’s movement toward Two: the desire to help, fix, give, and restore connection—and how that can shift from empathy and generosity into overextending, losing touch with yourself, and trying desperately to get a relationship back into place. Lastly, we turn toward "competency," and ask : What if security for Fours isn’t something you feel before you act, but something you build by getting into your body, developing practical skills, and doing the work in front of you? Sometimes growth means honoring what you feel—and sometimes it means doing the thing anyway. #Enneagram #Enneagram4 #EnneagramFour #PersonalGrowth #AroundTheCircle

   Threes | Stress and Security Panel

   To be on a panel, sign up for a membership for opportunities : HERE (https://www.patreon.com/c/aroundthecircle/membership) Jilian's Enneagram work is at : jilianbrown.com (jilianbrown.com) Matilda and Rob Zombie is a much watch : HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQP8MN-1Q30&list=RDqQP8MN-1Q30&start_radio=1) In this episode of Around the Circle, Jeff sits down with a panel of Enneagram Threes to explore what really happens in stress and security—and how Threes experience their head, heart, and body along the way. The conversation moves through achievement, shame, anger, identity, belonging, and the complicated relationship Threes can have with rest. What happens when the body has simply had enough? What does the move to Nine look like when it becomes withdrawal or numbing—and what changes when a Three intentionally steps off the stage, stops striving, and allows Nine to become a place of restoration and discernment? Lastly, the panel looks toward Six and the security found in community: being one of many instead of the person at the front, risking vulnerability without performing, and discovering the freedom to champion other people’s success. For Threes, growth may not mean accomplishing something better, but learning when to put down the oars, receive the support of others, and simply belong.

   Twos | Stress and Security Panel

   In this episode of Around the Circle, Jeff sits down with a panel of Enneagram Twos—Amy, Sarah, and Jennifer—for a candid conversation about how Twos experience the Head, Heart, and Body Centers. They talk about thinking through relationships, the deep drive toward connection, and the challenge of knowing when helping becomes overstepping: “Is this mine to do?” This time, the conversation moves into rejection, relational rupture, emotional intelligence, and the complicated relationship Twos can have with their own needs and bodies. The panel considers the Heart Center as a “bonding center”—an intelligence constantly tracking connection and the state of relationships. Lastly, they explore the Two’s movement toward Eight: the power and agency it can provide, but also the temptation toward control when vulnerability feels threatening. What does growth look like when a Two can care deeply for others without taking responsibility for everyone—and can trust that connection doesn’t have to be earned?

   Ones | Stress and Security Panel

   In this episode of Around the Circle, Jeff sits down with a panel of Enneagram Ones to explore their relationships with the head, heart, and body—and what those relationships reveal about stress, security, and growth. This time, the panel talks about thinking repression, the inner critic, the need to fix what has gone wrong, and the grief Ones experience when relationships or ideals fall apart. They also explore why emotions can feel messy and why Ones so often turn their feelings into something to manage or solve. Lastly, the conversation turns toward the body, anger, limits, and the ever-present language of “should.” What might growth look like when Ones learn to bring the gifts of the head, heart, and body together with greater freedom and grace?
