#37: In this powerful Part 2, Enneagram expert Tracy O’Malley returns to reveal Henry’s Enneagram results live on the show—and it turns out they share the exact same type. Together they unpack what it really means to be an Enneagram 8: the Challenger. From strength, power, and independence to vulnerability, tenderness, and compassion, this conversation is a masterclass in how self-awareness can transform your leadership, marriage, parenting, and spiritual life.

Tracy breaks down the three centers of intelligence (head, heart, and gut), explains why so many online Enneagram tests are inaccurate, and shows how your “superpower” can easily become your kryptonite when your motives are rooted in fear, shame, or ego. Henry and Tracy talk about flexing for the wrong reasons, how trauma can drive overachievement, how to recognize unhealthy patterns before you burn out, and why understanding your type can heal generational patterns in your family. Whether you’re a business leader, parent, or someone hungry for growth, this episode gives you language, tools, and a roadmap to live more aligned with how God designed you.
