Beyond Your Number

How to Speak a Type 2’s Language (Without Losing Yourself in the Process)

Faith and Community Season 3 Episode 104

How do you talk with someone who’s always giving, always helping, and always putting others first? In this episode, Damon and Kelly dive into the warm, people-focused world of the Enneagram Two — and why communication with them can feel like a hug, a therapy session, and a pep talk all in one.

Whether you are a 2 or love one, this conversation unpacks what motivates them, how to respond to their generosity, and why setting boundaries is key to real connection.

In This Episode:

  • The superpower of Twos: empathy, generosity, and relational radar
  • Why Twos ask “how are you?” — and really mean it
  • The danger of overextending: when helping becomes self-forgetting
  • How to communicate with a Two instead of being steamrolled by one
  • A growth path: pausing before saying “yes” and practicing self-care
