The Enneagram Edge with Host Tracy O’Malley

We’re living in an age in which everyone wants to be an entrepreneur.⁣ ⁣ Or wants to work for themselves.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Life as we knew it 2 years ago has changed drastically.⁣ ⁣ And how we’re operating and making a living is changing. Heck, even how we’re educating our children is changing.⁣ ⁣ I was on a call today with someone who was inquiring about private coaching with me.⁣ ⁣ She’s w...

Let’s talk about your business.⁣ ⁣ I’m constantly asked about one thing in particular when it comes to business: sales and marketing.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I’ve come to realize I’m pretty good at this whole sales & marketing thing.⁣ ⁣ And that’s because I’m genuine. But I had to reframe what I thought about sales and marketing before I could get there. I used to sell cars, and car salesmen get a re...

There’s one phrase that’s such a cliche, until you realize it applies to you.⁣ ⁣ The whole catalyst to me deciding to take action and turn my life around a decade ago was this very cliche: life is too short.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ We throw this phrase around pretty innocently...⁣ ⁣ But this last week, in the course of 72 hours, I lost three friends. Not just acquaintances, but people who’ve had a hu...

You know how I feel about Enneagram 7s.⁣ ⁣ My daughter is an Enneagram 7, and she’s the reason why I was so passionate about learning this framework.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ That’s because as much as I loved my daughter, I didn’t understand anything about how she operated.⁣ ⁣ I wanted to understand her instead of making her into a mini me so that she could be her very best self.⁣ ⁣ It was almost a de...

One of the biggest buzzwords I see floating around is vulnerability.⁣ ⁣ When I got into the online space almost a decade ago it was at a moment in my life where I felt most vulnerable.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ But I had never shown vulnerability in my life.⁣ ⁣ And many of us don’t want to discuss shame or vulnerability. That’s because we just want to be bottom-lined: “Just tell me what to do.”⁣ ⁣ Ther...

You’re in for a treat today.⁣ ⁣ Get ready to feel a lot of excitable energy.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ This beautiful woman and I did some work together in October.⁣ ⁣ Which means you’re getting the 6 month transformation—including the aha moments and holy shits—from my client who is a canon that shoots joy.⁣ ⁣ When you’re around her, you feel her joy because it’s so genuine.⁣ ⁣ She’s an Enneagram Ty...

When we start to use the Enneagram, a lot of people around us don’t understand it—and have a lot of opinions about it.⁣ ⁣ “I don’t want a label,” “This is putting me in a box,” “People are unique,” are all things you might hear.⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I get it—because I said a lot of those same things myself.⁣ ⁣ When my therapist wanted me to take the Enneagram test, I said, “Listen, lady, I’m here in...

I know you’re committed to growth.⁣ ⁣ But commitment is one thing, taking action is another.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ We can make some bold declarations of what we want to do, but if we don’t take action, nothing’s going to happen.⁣ ⁣ I’m all about manifesting and putting good vibes and intentions out there, but manifestation doesn’t happen without an action plan.⁣ ⁣ Many of you have taken action.⁣...

Many of you want to know: How can you use the Enneagram to grow?⁣ ⁣ You realize it’s more than just this cool, trendy thing about personality types.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ It’s starting to dawn on you that the Enneagram is an amazing tool that’s so underrated and so powerful.⁣ ⁣ If you don’t repair it, you repeat it. That’s why we see the same families having the same problems for generations and ge...

I’ve been at this personal development thing for about 21 years now.⁣ ⁣ I started when I was 28 years old, and there were 12 years where I took a few steps forward and many back. I know many of you may be feeling the same way now.⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ You may feel that even though you’ve said you want a different life, you’re not moving forward the way you want to.⁣ ⁣ Have compassion for yourself, b...

Yours truly.⁣ ⁣ The reason I’ve put myself...

One of the most common questions I get about the Enneagram...⁣ ⁣ ...has to do with how to harness it for team building and leadership.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ In entrepreneurship, the workplace, or in the home, leadership is super important.⁣ ⁣ The Enneagram is great because it gives you a framework for leadership that doesn’t complicate things too much.⁣ ⁣ In the workplace, for example, there’s a...

When I met this beautiful woman, I was drawn to her immediately.⁣ ⁣ At the time I didn’t know why, and honestly in the past I wouldn’t have liked her very much.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ She’s a straight-shooting, no bullshit, tells-it-like-it-is, very polarizing type of person.⁣ ⁣ The old me would’ve been intimidated by that. But my healthy self respects the shit out of her.⁣ ⁣ All the influencers and...

I was always told that your 40s are the best.⁣ ⁣ “Just wait til you’re 40,” they said. “It will all make sense.”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I remember when I hit 40, I thought they were all full of shit.⁣ ⁣ I was working a corporate job that I hated, dealing with the after effects of the Recession (I lost a house and a business), going through a divorce, and was in a toxic relationship. And then my da...

This client of mine is the most mistyped person of all.⁣ ⁣ She is proof that no matter what test you take or how many times you take it, it can be inaccurate 65-70% of the time.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I met Julie 2 years ago and immediately fell in love with her.⁣ ⁣ She was initially typed as a 7, and although she had that big energy, the more I got to know her, I just wasn’t feeling that for her.⁣...

Chances are, if you listen to me, you’re someone who’s ambitious, wants to change up what they’re doing, has a passion project...⁣ ⁣ In short, there’s probably something in your life that’s not going how you want it to.⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 8 years ago today I ventured into an accidental career.⁣ ⁣ A short 6 months earlier, I did my hail mary pass to God while on a plane to see my dad before he pass...

I met Jessica at the Powerhouse Women Mastermind.⁣ ⁣ And this Enneagram 5 decided to work one-on-one with me after recognizing there was a missing piece for her.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Enneagram 5s in the entrepreneurial space are rare.⁣ ⁣ But when they really embody and step into that space, there’s nobody like them. Personally, I think they’re the most brilliant on the Enneagram.⁣ ⁣ Enneagram 5s h...

Can you believe we’re at the one year mark of when the world was blindsided?⁣ ⁣ COVID came like a tornado and threw our shit all over the place.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ It makes me think back to 2008 when the recession hit.⁣ ⁣ I was one of the people greatly affected by the Great Recession. Had COVID happened 10 years ago, this pandemic would’ve looked very different for me.⁣ ⁣ I don’t believe everyt...

Many of you love the Enneagram and are geeking out about it.⁣ ⁣ I see you. But remember, information doesn’t equal transformation!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Quotes:⁣ 6:48 ⁣ All the greatest strategy that I have that I can offer you in the world won’t mean hella beans if we are tripping over some of this clutter that we’ve shoved under the rug.⁣ ⁣ 09:56 ⁣ A lot of times, 2’s can end up with active addicts or even narci...

So, you’ve been doing this personal development stuff for a while now...⁣ ⁣ You’ve hired coaches, joined masterminds, and gone to events.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ You’ve achieved some movement and change—you’re able to move the needle and attract friendships and love—but there’s something missing.⁣ ⁣ Maybe you can’t sustain it, maybe it’s not long before you go back into an old pattern, you get trig...

Today we’re talking all things energy.⁣ ⁣ The more development you do, the more you can fall in love with someone’s energy.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Recognizing energy is one of my gifts.⁣ ⁣ And I work to recognize it in others and in myself. Here’s one thing I’ve learned: Having a harmonious balance between the masculine and feminine energy is oh-so important. ⁣ ⁣ With the Enneagram, sometimes our ba...

I learned at a young age that I couldn’t rely on the people I was meant to.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Which is why I have operated like a lone wolf for most of my life.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I’ve been pretty successful at this, but am missing out on a lot of joy.⁣ ⁣ I also use a lot of my energetic resources doing things that aren’t naturally in my wheelhouse. This can energetically bankrupt me, meaning I’m not good fo...

The Enneagram is the greatest personal development tool I’ve ever used.⁣ ⁣ Issues with the Enneagram, however, include mistyping, not using it in integrity, or not using it how it’s meant to be used.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Listen now⁣ ⁣ ⁣ More than ever, we’re aware that shit’s gotta change in our life.⁣ ⁣ Self awareness is so, so important, but only works if we know what to do with it.
