This episode is all about one Frequently Asked Question we get all the time: why is it sometimes so dang hard to determine your type? Well, the answer is that humans are varied and interesting and the Enneagram is multi-faceted and about what motivates you and that can be clouded by a season of stress or a very strong wing or many other things. Listen in to learn more, and if you're having trouble figuring out your type, our favorite resources are below!

Happy New Year! We're back with an episode with a word for the year for each type. Each Enneagram type has a sin they struggle with, a vice if you will. The more aware we are of how our sin/vice functions and shows up in our lives the more we can consciously work toward growing into our virtue, which is the opposite of our vice. When we step more into our virtue, we free ourselves from our ego and the unconscious habits and patterns of our type. And that’s what we took into consideration when we compiled these words for 2023. Each word is correlated to each type’s virtue.

This episode is all about communication, which is apt year-round but particularly right now as we are headed into Peak Holiday. In this episode we talk about how to communicate with each type, why you don't need to know someone's type in order to use the Enneagram to communicate more effectively, and some things to keep in mind as you move through high-communication seasons.

At the end of our last episode we started talking about good movement and personal development, and we're continuing that talk today with an episode about stress--where each type goes in stress, why it's not always a bad thing, and strategies to deal with stress or prevent it from getting the better of you.

Hi hello we're back after an unintentionally long hiatus (#ranchlife, #momlife) but the important thing is we're back! This episode is a summer /life update, a little bit about starting and growing businesses, how the Enneagram has helped us both grow personally and professionally, and Cass talking too much per usual. We're so glad to be back in the swing of podcasting!

Long time, no episode! We're in the thick of summer busyness on our respective ranches (T is in the Sandhills of Nebraska, Cass in the mountains of CO) and so we're a little behind. Life, man! In this episode, we're answering some of your most-asked questions, including queries about best enneagram tests, wings, triads, and orientation to time.

Hi hello! We're back after Cass forgot to schedule the last episode because it's Branding Season on the ranch and she doesn't know what day it is. But, this episode is worth the wait because it's our very first LIVE typing session! Our guest for this episode is Katie Dowson, who is the owner of Seed Life. Seed Life is a company she started several years ago that treats all brands of seeds to growers across the Midwest. She is married to a farmer, the mother of a 1.5-year-old little girl and they live in Central Illinois. Sometimes it can be hard to determine your type even after reading (or listening!) about all the types, and a typing session is just the ticket to help figure it out. Katie asks great questions and this episode was so much fun! We hope you enjoy it. If you're still struggling with figuring out your type and would like to do a live typing session, DM us on Instagram @typeitoutpodcast or send us a message at [email protected]!

Stances are similar to triads in that there are three types that belong to each stance. But the stances are made up of one type from each triad and they can often shed a better light when determining your type. AGGRESSIVE STANCE The aggressive stance is made up of 3, 7, 8. Move against others and have an unconscious drive to reshape people and situations to suit them. They each do this a bit differently – 3s use their chameleon powers, 7s use their reframing reflex, and 8s take charge. All in this stance are feeling repressed. And as a result, all are oriented to the future, where there aren’t yet feelings. WITHDRAWING STANCE The withdrawing stance is comprised of 4, 5, 9. These types move away from others and are not influenced at all by the crowd. Fours want to be unique. Fives want to preserve their energy. And nines want to avoid having their peace and inner stability disrupted. The folks here are doing repressed and oriented to the past, where the doing has already been done. DEPENDENT STANCE The dependent stance is made up of 1, 2, 6 Disclaimer: We want to leave you with the disclaimer that we are by no means Enneagram experts.

Hi friends! We're continuing our series about determining your type and today we're talking about stress and security--we both love the aspect of the Enneagram so very much. Warning: Terryn's audio is a little hinky at the beginning, but don't worry, it gets better a few minutes in. We're not sure what happened but we're blaming the Nebraska wind #ruralprobs and we'd apologize except we all know Ranch Wind In Springtime is a entity and journey unto itself. Our personalities are fluid and nuanced, and part of that fluidity is where we go in stress and security (or sickness and health. IYKYK.) Each type has a number that draws from in stress and a number they draw from when they are on the path of growth. Thinking about where you go in each of these areas can help you determine your type.
