Duty and the Social Six 12.08.2024

Transcript Hello and welcome to the BarrCast. I'm your host, Nick Barr, coming to you on a windy Friday afternoon. So we're jumping into the social six and the keyword for the social six is in Spanish, in English duty, duty or obligation. And remembering that the background passion for all of the subtypes of the six is fear. We've also been playing with angst as a keyword there. But it's funny bec...

Angst! 😱 Fear and the Enneagram Six 08.08.2024

Transcript Hello and welcome to the Barrcast. I'm your host Nick Barr coming to you on a rainy gray Thursday morning here in New York.

Refuge and the Self-Preservation Five 05.08.2024

Hello and welcome to the Barrcast. I'm your host, Nick Barr, coming to you on a Sunday evening. We're getting a lot of rain in New York, so we've got hot, muggy weather. And it's a good time to seek refuge, and so that's the keyword of the Enneagram Type 5 self-preservation, or in Spanish, conservación, or refugio. Beautiful word in Spanish, translated neatly to refuge. But let's get right into it...

Confidant and the Sexual Five 02.08.2024

Transcript Hello and welcome to the Barrcast. I'm your host Nick Barr coming to you on a Tuesday afternoon. We're trucking along here with the five and we're on to the sexual five today. The keyword for the sexual five is confianza which is translated here as trust. If you also hear confidence in Confianza, I think that's a connection. But in the deeper sense, maybe like the confidence man. I gues...

Totem and the Social Five 28.07.2024

Transcript Hello and welcome to the BarrCast. I'm your host, Nick Barr, coming to you on a Sunday evening here in New York, a little muggy.

Abasement and the Social Four 03.07.2024

Quick housekeeping notes. For some reason, las...

Hello and welcome to the Barrcast. I'm your host, Nick Barr, coming to you on a sunny and reasonably cool Friday morning here in New York. I want to do a podcast within a podcast.

And I want to explore these with a very deep and very clos...
