Welcome to Season 2 of The Work of You—the podcast about the leadership that matters most, the kind that starts from within. In Season 2, we’re expanding the conversation. Alongside solo reflections, I’m also sitting down with leaders, coaches, and change agents who are doing the real work—inside themselves and in the world—to explore what growth, self-awareness, and leadership actually require.

This is about noticing the patterns shaping your choices and learning how to lead with more clarity, integrity, and alignment. If you’re a high-achieving human who’s ready to get honest about the patterns holding you back, this show is for you. Because this isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally understanding yourself so your choices, relationships, and leadership actually align to who you really are.

 Join us for Season Two of The Work of You starting Wednesday January 14th.

What has this podcast brought me AND you in 2025?

In this milestone episode, I pause to reflect on what this podcast became in 2025. What started as a curiosity-led experiment grew into a consistent practice of inquiry, meaning-making, and conversation around how we understand ourselves. I share how the podcast AND I have grown and of course, ask you to reflect on the same. I look ahead to what’s coming next. As we move into 2026, this podcast will begin to widen the circle with guest conversations, while staying rooted in the same core questions that have shaped the show from the beginning. This episode is an invitation to pause, integrate, and step forward with intention — together.

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. 

What is it like to be an Enneagram Heart Type moving through the world seeking connection and attention? 

In this episode we explore the Heart Center of the Enneagram—Types 2, 3, and 4—whose core drive is to be in connection and to feel seen. 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. 

What is it like to be an Enneagram Body Type processing the world somatically and through instinct?

Kicking off our 3-part series on diving deeper into all 9 Enneagram types, in this episode we explore the Body Center of the Enneagram—Types 8, 9, and 1—whose core drive is to have agency and autonomy over their world. 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. 

Play isn’t just something fun — it’s a core part of resilience, creativity, and healthy leadership. 

In this episode, we explore why play matters for adults, how it expands your capacity to handle stress (hello, Broaden-and-Build Theory), and simple ways to bring more lightness and joy into your daily life. A gentle reminder that doing “the work of you” doesn’t always have to be heavy… sometimes the most profound growth comes from letting yourself play again.

Milestone moment reaching episode 25 and perfect timing as it's falling over the week of Thanksgiving. I hold so much gratitude for my listeners and that's why this week I focus on what you want to hear! I've asked what you're curious to learn more about, questions you have, or resources you're looking for. Tune into this episode to hear all the answers and a special announcement for an upcoming Season 2 plan. 

What if our "mess" is not a detour to be taken and instead a doorway to welcome? 

In this episode, we explore what it really means to reset the soul when life feels tangled, heavy, or uncertain. Fresh off facilitating Enneagram work at the Soul Reset retreat, I share the themes that surfaced again and again: the surprising power of rest, what renewal actually looks like in real time, and why resilience is less about pushing through and more about softening into what’s true. If you’re navigating a season of complexity or craving a deeper sense of clarity, this episode offers companionship, perspective, and gentle encouragement for whatever chapter you’re in.

What does trust meant to you? What does it look like in practice? 

Trust is the foundation of every relationship — and every breakdown. But what “trust” means can look very different depending on your Enneagram type. In this episode, Jen unpacks what each type needs to feel safe and grounded in trust — and what may erode that trust without you even realizing it. You’ll also explore how each type can stretch toward greater openness and how understanding these differences can help any leader or team strengthen their foundation of connection.

Without system awareness, the person who is the most self aware often feels the most exhausted. 

In this episode, we explore how the Enneagram can be used not just for self awareness and growth but also for system awareness -- to understand and support the dynamics of your team. We’ll look at how different core motivations, communication patterns, and instinctual priorities shape how each person shows up at work. You’ll learn how to recognize common tension points, how to create more psychological safety, and how to build a team culture where people feel seen, valued, and able to contribute in their own way.
