Enneagram Two: A Deep Dive Into The Helper’s Heart.

In this episode, we explore the compassionate and connection-driven world of Enneagram Type 2—The Helper. Known for their generosity, warmth, and deep desire to be loved and needed, Twos are often the emotional glue holding relationships together. But beneath the surface of selflessness lies a complex inner world of motivations, fears, and growth edges. We unpack the gifts, blind spots, and transformative journey of the Two, offering insights for both Twos themselves and those who love them. Whether you're a Helper or just Enneagram-curious, this episode will open your heart and deepen your understanding.

Enneagram One: The Inner Critic, the Perfectionist, and the Reluctant Rebel

Meet the Enneagram One—the justice-seekers, the improvers, the ones who color inside the lines (but secretly wish they could scribble outside of them). In this episode, we step inside the mind of the One, where there’s an ever-present voice whispering (or, let’s be real, shouting) about doing things the right way. We’ll explore the beauty of their integrity, the weight of their inner critic, and why Ones are both deeply principled and secretly rebellious. If you’ve ever been accused of being “too hard on yourself” or “having too many rules” (or if you love someone who fits the bill), this one’s for you.

The Enneagram: A Map, A Mirror, and a Mystery

Welcome to the Enneagram like you've never heard it before! In this kickoff episode of our 10-week series, we dive into what the Enneagram actually is—beyond the internet quizzes and meme-worthy stereotypes. Think of it as part map (guiding your self-discovery), part mirror (reflecting your deepest patterns), and part mystery (because, let’s be honest, humans are weird). We’ll explore its origins, why it’s more than just a personality test, and how this ancient tool can help you understand yourself—and the people who drive you nuts—a little better. Buckle up; it’s about to get insightful, uncomfortable, and maybe even a little life-changing.

The Architecture of Belief: How Our Minds Build and Break Convictions

Why do we believe what we believe? And what happens when those beliefs are confronted, challenged, or even dismantled? In this episode, we explore the fascinating architecture of belief—how personal experience, culture, and collective narratives shape what we hold as true. We dive into cognitive biases, the role of identity in belief formation, and the psychological discomfort of encountering opposing views. Are our convictions built on solid ground, or are they more malleable than we think? Join us as we navigate the shifting landscape of belief and what it means to truly change your mind.

The Culture Of More

In a world that constantly tells us we need more—more money, more success, more followers, more stuff—how do we break free from the cycle of endless consumption? This episode explores the philosophy of more across cultures, examining how the relentless pursuit of the next thing is shaping our mental health, relationships, and sense of self. We’ll dive into the psychological and societal pressures that keep us striving for unattainable ideals, particularly in the age of social media. But there’s another way. When we define what truly matters to us—beyond external validation and comparison—we unlock a path to contentment and purpose. Tune in as we challenge the myth that more is always better and explore how setting our own values can lead to true fulfillment.

We're Not In Kansas Anymore

What if The Wizard of Oz were written today? In this episode, Heath explores how L. Frank Baum’s classic tale might be reimagined as a modern political allegory, reflecting today’s biggest issues—economic inequality, misinformation, corporate power, and the struggles of everyday citizens navigating an increasingly complex world. Who would Dorothy represent in 2025? Is the Wizard just another influencer spinning illusions? And how has Oz evolved through generations to reflect the fears and hopes of each era? Follow the Yellow Brick Road with us as we unpack the enduring relevance of this timeless story.

How Stillness Exposes Our Fears

In a world that never stops moving, stillness has become a lost art. In this episode, we dive deep into why we struggle to be still, how our inability to pause is affecting our mental health, and the fears that stillness often exposes. We explore the constant noise, distractions, and pressures that keep us from embracing quiet moments—and why reclaiming them is essential for our well-being.
But stillness isn’t just about absence; it’s about presence. I break down practical, everyday ways to cultivate stillness, from mindful practices to simple shifts in daily routines. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply disconnected, this episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and rediscover the transformative power of stillness.
Tune in now and let’s explore the space between the noise.

How To Become Anti-Fragile

In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of becoming anti-fragile—what it is, how it connects to philosophy and spirituality, and why embracing pressure is the key to becoming truly undefeatable. We explore how challenges and adversity don’t just break us down, but actually shape us into stronger, more resilient individuals. Tune in to discover practical ways to grow through life’s toughest moments, and how cultivating this mindset can empower you to thrive no matter what life throws your way.

The Invisible Lens

Have you ever wondered why you see the world the way you do? Why you react to challenges a certain way? Why some decisions feel right and others don’t? Whether you realize it or not, you’re already living by a philosophy—it’s just been operating in the background.
In this episode, we break down the two fundamental components of every personal philosophy—metaphysics (how you understand reality) and ethics (how you decide right from wrong). We explore:
The hidden beliefs shaping your decisions
The origins of your philosophy—was it inherited, shaped by experience, or consciously chosen?
The metaphysics of everyday life—do things happen for a reason, or is life random?
The ethics of everyday life—what really guides your sense of right and wrong?
Why examining your philosophy matters—are you living by default or by design?
How to discover or refine your personal philosophy
Using real-life examples, thought experiments, and interactive questions, this episode will challenge you to uncover yourinvisible lens. Because once you see it, you can change it.

Understanding The Hierarchy Of Language

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the intricate Hierarchy of Language, breaking down how communication evolves from the simplicity of a single word to the complexity of a full narrative. We journey up the linguistic ladder—words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, and beyond—examining how each layer adds depth, meaning, and nuance to human expression. Along the way, we grapple with the tension between meaning and exact translation: can the essence of language truly be captured, or is something always lost in translation?
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we dive into the capabilities of AI in modeling human emotion. Can artificial intelligence ever truly replicate the unpredictability and depth of human feeling, or is it destined to remain a tool of predictable patterns? We question whether AI can ever climb to the top of the linguistic ladder, reaching the realm of true wisdom and emotional resonance, or if it will forever remain a step below, confined to the mechanics of language.
Tune in for a deep dive into the building blocks of communication, the art of meaning-making, and the future of AI in the ever-evolving world of language.
