Anxiety can show up in so many ways—overthinking, people-pleasing, worst-case-scenario spirals, or the constant pressure to hold everything together. But what if the Enneagram could help us understand why our anxiety shows up the way it does? 

In this episode, we’re diving into anxiety through the lens of the Enneagram and exploring how each type experiences it differently. From the Type 1’s pressure to get everything right, to the Type 2’s worry about being needed, to the Type 6’s search for security, every type carries its own version of internal stress. 

The good news? Awareness creates freedom. 

We’ll talk about what anxiety can look like for each type, what might be fueling it beneath the surface, and some practical ways to find calm and grounding again. 

Whether you're someone who tends to overthink, overwork, overgive, or just feels overwhelmed lately, this conversation will help you better understand yourself—and extend a little more compassion to the way your mind works.
