Enneagram 2: Parenting, Relationships, Yoga ft. Nancy Markow | Ep7
<p>Elliot Killian and Nancy Markow discuss parenting approaches, using the Enneagram in relationships (hint: it’s not about type-based compatibility), how Type 2s can grow by utilizing all of their lines of connection, synthesizing the Enneagram with yoga and eastern spirituality, and the hidden connection between point 2 and 5. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Nancy is passionate about the Enneagram, Yoga, Meditation, Spirituality, and Metaphysics, with nearly 30 years of study and practice. In 2006, she founded Connecting You with YourSelf (CYWY), a now free online community offering a place to learn, share, and participate. Learn more about CYWY, all that is available to you, and how you can be part of the community at<a href="http://www.connectingyouwithyourself.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <strong>www.connectingyouwithyourself.com</strong></a></p> <p><br /></p> <p>On 11/12/24, Elliot will be giving a talk on the CYWY platform titled “I-Fear/Desire: Connecting the Psychological and Spiritual Dimensions of the Enneagram.” The talk will draw upon a well-developed Indian philosophy on the nature of mind, consciousness, and reality, with the aim of creating a cohesive philosophical framework to maximize the transformative potential of the Enneagram.</p> <p><br />Video podcast available on YouTube (@talkintruthelliotkillian) and Spotify </p> <p>Show notes and Timestamps: https://www.elliotkillian.org/ep7-enneagram-2-nancy-markow/</p> <p>All Elliot Killian links: https://sleek.bio/elliotkillian</p> <p><br /></p>

Enneagram 1w2 or 2w1? "Maybe Type 1 is not so bad..."
<p>One of the core struggles for an Enneagram 1 is acceptance. As a type propelled by values and morals, driven to better conditions or promote justice and fairness; accepting situations, others, or themselves can pose a challenge. Interestingly, this overarching life struggle with acceptance often manifests in the initial stages of Enneagram typing as well—in my experience, Enneagram Ones are the type most prone to identify with another type and resist their typing.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In this episode of Talkin’ Truth, I interview a friend, bandmate, and behavioral health therapist Holly, aiming to resolve a long-standing, playful disagreement we've had over whether she is a 2w1 or a 1w2.</p> <p><br></p> <p>While recounting humorous stories, this podcast goes over some of the similarities and defining differences between 1s and 2s and covers:</p> <p><br></p> <p>- The shared connection that types 1 and 2 have to point 4, but how they use and experience 4 in different ways</p> <p>- Sensitivity to criticism and feedback</p> <p>- Childhood messages and pivotal shaping experiences</p> <p>- How their core values manifest differently in social dynamics and relationships</p> <p>- The importance of comparing levels of health when typing</p> <p><br></p> <p>A conversation about addiction, therapy, restrictive eating, and pleasure highlights some of the thematic tensions between points 1 and 7, and shows how 4, commonly thought of as 1’s disintegration point, can help resolve that.</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you’re familiar with the Enneagram, share your opinions about some of the typing discussions that we present during the podcast and help us settle the debate about Holly’s Enneagram type and what aspects of our conversation led you to that conclusion.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Video podcast available on YouTube (@elliotkillian) and Spotify </p> <p>Subscribe on YouTube for clips and analysis of podcast content. </p> <p>Show notes and timestamps: https://www.elliotkillian.org/ep6-enneagram-1w2-or-2w1/</p> <p>All Elliot Killian links: https://sleek.bio/elliotkillian</p>
