About the show

We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, yet we also are very similar in many ways. Each week, Laura & Zach will dive into what makes each of us special through the lens of the personality typing system known as the Enneagram. They'll explore all nine personality types, how they relate to each other, and what each person brings to this world - while encouraging listeners to "Shine their Light".

Head Type Series: Core Emotion for 5, 6, & 7 | Episode 15

Jun 25, 2026 26 min

This week, we’re talking about the core emotion of fear that all three Head Center Types (5,6,7) share.
