Episode 12: Courageous Insights – Restoring Worth Beyond Work as an Enneagram Type 3
In this deeply personal episode of Courageous Leaders, Connected Teams, I’m opening up about the unconscious patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that shaped my journey as an Enneagram Type 3 (The Competitive Achiever).
For much of my life, achievement felt like oxygen. Productivity, performance, and pushing through were the standards—not just for success but for worthiness. But behind the drive was an unspoken fear:
“If I’m not working, I’m not valuable.”
This episode is an invitation into the stories, struggles, and turning points that helped me shift from overdrive to alignment—and begin restoring a sense of worth that isn’t tied to output.
In this episode, I share:
🔹 Striving
The relentless pursuit of achievement and the belief that value comes from what you do—not who you are.
🔹 Performing
How productivity became a measure of identity, and the subtle ways leaders can lose themselves in external validation.
🔹 Pushing Through
The cost of ignoring the body’s signals, emotional needs, and limits in the name of “just getting it done.”
🔹 Awakening
What shifted when I finally slowed down enough to recognize the deeper fear fueling all the action.
🔹 My Burnout Story
The moment I realized I was running on empty—and how discovering my Enneagram type illuminated patterns I could finally name (and change).
🔹 Restoring Worth
How redefining success has helped me move toward more presence, alignment, and courage in leadership.
Who this episode is for:
Leaders who feel stuck on the hamster wheel of achievement
Enneagram Type 3s (or those who love/work with them)
High-achievers experiencing burnout or overwhelm
Anyone exploring healthier, more authentic ways of leading
