The Work of You
This is a podcast about the leadership that matters most — the kind that starts from within.
Hosted by certified behavioral coach and Enneagram expert Jen Ostrich, The Work of You is for high-achieving humans ready to stop repeating patterns and start leading themselves differently.
Through insights from coaching, the Enneagram, and her own personal inner overhaul, Jen brings honesty, humor, and sharp emotional clarity to the table. With real talk, self-awareness tools, and a healthy dose of tough love, she helps you uncover what’s driving you, shift what’s no longer serving you, and ultimately do the work of you — one honest episode at a time.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally understanding yourself — so your choices, relationships, and leadership can actually align with who you truly are.

The Inner Patterns of The Enneagram Head Types [5, 6, 7]
What is it like to be an Enneagram Head Type living in a mind seeking certainty and security?
In this episode we explore the Head Center of the Enneagram—Types 5, 6, and 7—who each in their own way seek certainty and create a sense of safety and security. We'll breakdown the core fear, primary motivation and core emotion to be managed for each type as well as how these translates in personality attributes and behaviors. We'll do a light touch on how each of the 3 instincts shade the core type as well as the pathways to growth for each type.
Episode Topics:
- Type 5 - Specialist or Investigator: exploring the core fear, motivation, personality, 3 instincts and growth opportunity
- Type 6 - Loyalist or Skeptic: exploring the core fear, motivation, personality, 3 instincts and growth opportunity
- Type 7 - Enthusiast or Visionary: exploring the core fear, motivation, personality, 3 instincts and growth opportunity
Coaching Prompts:
- What is resonating about your type's fear, motivation, personality? And, what is not resonating?
- Reflect on what's not, could it be a blindspot?
- When do you notice your motivation going into overdrive - where is it still trying to protect you?
- Where you have started to integrate toward one or both of your lines?
