#123 Which of These 3 Instincts Is Secretly Keeping You Stuck?

Season 1 Episode 123

You’ve got the dream—moving abroad, building a freedom-based business, living life on your terms—but somehow, you’re still stuck. Why?

In this episode, I dive deep into the real reason behind self-sabotage: your dominant Enneagram instinct.

I break down the 3 core instincts that drive human behavior—Self-Preservation, Social, and Sexual (1-1)—and how each one can secretly block your progress, even when you're fully committed to your goals.

Here’s what I cover:

  • How each instinct shows up in your business & abroad dreams
  • Where your instinct is helping you—and where it’s holding you back
  • Why “just one more plan” or “waiting for the spark” might be fear in disguise
  • How to work with your instinct instead of letting it control you

Whether you're a freedom-seeker, aspiring nomad, or purpose-driven entrepreneur—this is Enneagram 2.0-level self-awareness that will change the way you approach your goals.
