Enneagram with JB: A Podcast About Enneagram Personalities
What No Longer Serves Me (And Why Letting Go Still Feels So Hard)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I'm sharing a personal and honest look at what it means to let go of patterns that once served a purpose, but are now holding you back.
Through the lens of the Enneagram and lifespan development, this conversation explores how our identities are shaped over time through protection, adaptation, and meaning-making. What once helped us feel safe, loved, or accepted can quietly become the very thing that limits our growth.
I'm opening up about my own experience of reaching a breaking point at 40—realizing I had unintentionally placed myself on a shelf—and the emotional process of taking responsibility, grieving what was lost, and stepping into a more aligned life.
This episode is not about fixing yourself. It’s about recognizing what no longer serves you… and beginning, gently, to let it go.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How personality patterns are formed across the lifespan
- Why letting go often feels disorienting, not freeing
- The connection between protection, identity, and the Enneagram
- What it looks like to take responsibility for your own becoming
- A reflective invitation to help you identify where you may be holding yourself back
This episode also introduces a new series featuring real conversations with different Enneagram types as they share their own process of letting go and becoming.
