107: The REAL Reason You Can’t Figure Out Your Enneagram Type

In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite OG Chelsey ways to understand your Enneagram — not just your core type, but the five parts of you that are all reacting at the same time.
I walk you through a real-life spiral I recently had (because hi, I’m human) and how my Enneagram 8 core, wings, stress number, and security number were all showing up with very different opinions. If you’ve ever felt like you relate to multiple Enneagram types or struggle to figure out your true type, this is going to click in a whole new way.
We’re talking about how understanding your Enneagram dynamics, emotional processing, stress patterns, and inner leadership can help you move through hard weeks with more clarity, peace, and resilience — instead of overwhelm and confusion.
I’ll also give you a simple stick-figure exercise you can do today to map your own “Inside Out” Enneagram parts and start leading yourself with more intention.
If you’re craving clarity, emotional intelligence, personal growth, and aligned leadership, this one’s for you. And if you want a processing partner to help you navigate it all, I share how we can work together inside my Enneagram typing experience and coaching.

All Things Excellence
Welcome to All Things Excellence by Chelsey DeBruin-Colbert, the podcast dedicated to exploring what drives us to step into greatness, unlock our genius, and sometimes stumble along the way. For over 30 years, I’ve been on a journey of personal growth, digging deep into the “why” behind our actions. Through books, conferences, mentors, and coaching women in sales and leadership, I’ve learned that excellence isn’t just about strategies—it’s about the stories, traumas, and transformative moments that shape who we are.
Every Wednesday, join me for powerful conversations with inspiring guests who’ve chosen excellence in the face of challenges. Together, we’ll unpack the pivotal moments, mindset shifts, and lessons that turn obstacles into stepping stones.
This is a space for raw, real stories and actionable insights to help you grow, heal, and elevate. You’re closer to excellence than you think, and it might just be easier than you ever imagined.
Tune in to All Things Excellence—one story, one transformation, one step closer to greatness at a time.
