Ep 9. Exploring the Enneagram with Dayo of The Black Enneagram: Reclaiming her faith as a Type 1 Reformer

ease and grow podcast enneagram explore

Tune in and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. 🧡

In today’s episode, I chat all about the enneagram with Dayo of the immensely popular instagram account @TheBlackEnneagram. We explore her journey of starting the account and how it helped her get into law school. She explains what the enneagram is and gives us the core motivations and fears of each type. We also discuss her Christian faith and how learning her enneagram type helped her approach her faith in a way that worked for her.

This episode will inspire you to take back agency in whatever life situation you’re facing that’s making you feel boxed in!

We Discuss:

  • Her process of creating the graphics for @TheBlackEnneagram account
  • Her journey of getting into Berkeley Law this cycle with the help of her Instagram account
  • What inspired her to start her page and highlight black culture through the lens of the enneagram
  • What the enneagram is, all 9 types, and each of their core motivations and fears
  • Journeying through typing yourself and others and Dayo’s experience as a type 1
  • The biggest lesson she’s learned as a type 1
  • How she’s reclaimed her Christian faith from the limiting box that others created
  • The importance of “chewing the meat and spitting out the bones” in your relationship to faith and spirituality

We Mentioned:

  • The Road Back To You by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile
  • Truity Enneagram Test – Find out your type!
  • Nine Types co Self Typing Guide
  • Procreate on iPad
  • Brandi Miller from Reclaiming my Theology podcast
  • Arielle Estoria
  •  “Changes That Heal” by Dr. Henry Cloud

affirmations below! 💗

This morning I decided to compile some affirmations to call in some goodness. Guess which one led to this surprise bubble party I stumbled upon during my lunch walk! 

✨affirmations✨

🌳I'm open to being surprised and delighted 
🌳 there's the potential for joy around every corner
🌳 it's all fun and games
🌳I'm a magnet for serendipity and magic
🌳 I keep a playful spirit because I'm constantly dancing and playing a game with life
🌳 fun comes easy to me

Would you add any to the list??
