    Hidden Enneagram Narratives: Head Center (Types 5,6,7) with Ro Elliott
    Jun 11 2026
    What if fear isn’t meant to control you… but inform you?

    In this episode of Echoes and Edges: The Broken and Beautiful Podcast, Patria Rector and Ro Elliott explore the Enneagram Head Triad (Types 5, 6, and 7) and the ways fear quietly shapes how we think, plan, avoid, prepare, and protect ourselves.Together, they unpack how the head-centered types seek safety through information, vigilance, certainty, distraction, and future planning — while also revealing the wisdom and gifts hidden inside those strategies.

    This conversation explores:
    • How fear manifests differently in Types 5, 6, and 7
    • Why knowledge, questioning, and optimism can become protective shields
    • The tension between self-protection and trust
    • The hidden anxiety beneath overthinking and constant movement
    • Why sevens struggle with limits and emotional constriction
    • How sixes learn self-trust
    • The journey from fear-driven leadership to grounded presence
    • What it means to become fully embodied: head, heart, and gut aligned
    This episode is an honest and compassionate exploration of anxiety, leadership, emotional balance, and the courage required to stay present in an uncertain world.

    • The hidden narratives driving Types 8, 9, and 1
    • How control, avoidance, and perfectionism form as survival strategies

    May 21 2026
    In this final conversation, Daniel and Patria move beyond awareness into integration. They explore what it actually looks like to live from a grounded sense of identity rather than from shame, performance, or fragmentation. Together, they discuss compassion, curiosity, safety, regulation, and the healing power of being truly seen.

    Daniel reflects on how survival mechanisms often develop alongside our deepest gifts, and how healing untangles those gifts from fear, shame, and self-protection. This episode is ultimately about wholeness — not becoming someone new, but returning to who you were before shame convinced you to hide.

    If you’ve spent years trying to earn your worth, this conversation offers another path: grounded identity, authentic connection, and the freedom to fully inhabit your own life.

    In This Episode
    • What grounded identity actually means
    • Why compassion and curiosity are transformative
    • The role of safety in healing
    • Authenticity versus performance
    • How gifts emerge through healing
    • Moving from fragmentation toward wholeness

  • Shame and the Hidden Narrative: Pt. 3 - Reclaiming What Shame Buried w/ Daniel Herron

    Shame and the Hidden Narrative: Pt. 3 - Reclaiming What Shame Buried w/ Daniel Herron
    May 14 2026
    Many people grow up believing their emotions, sensitivity, curiosity, or instincts are “too much.”

    In this episode, Daniel and Patria explore what it looks like to reclaim the very parts of ourselves that shame taught us to bury. Daniel shares the powerful shift from seeing himself as destructive to understanding himself as dangerous — not harmful, but no longer easily controlled by systems built on fear and conformity.

    Together, they unpack attachment, authenticity, emotional regulation, and why systems often react strongly to people who threaten the status quo simply by being fully themselves. This conversation offers a hopeful reframe for listeners who’ve spent years trying to shrink themselves to stay connected: maybe the traits you learned to fear are actually connected to your deepest gifts.

    In This Episode
    • The difference between “wild” and “destructive”
    • Attachment vs. authenticity
    • Emotional regulation and dysregulation
    • Why systems label people as “too much”
    • Reclaiming instinct, emotion, and intuition
    • The connection between shame and control

    Shame and the Hidden Narrative: Pt. 2 - The Stories That Keep Shame Alive w/ Daniel Herron (Re-Release)
    May 7 2026
    Shame rarely survives alone. In this episode, Daniel and Patria explore the narratives, secrecy, and systems that protect shame from ever being questioned. They unpack how family stories, cultural expectations, and relational patterns reinforce identities that were formed long ago — often without our awareness.

    Daniel shares the painful realization that decades later, his “wild child” narrative was still being passed down through his extended family. Together, they discuss how narratives become embedded in systems, how secrecy develops as a survival strategy, and why so many people organize their lives around avoiding exposure, rejection, or disconnection.

    This conversation also begins turning toward healing: what happens when compassion, curiosity, and safe relationships begin disrupting the old story? What if the narrative you inherited was never the full truth about who you are?

    In This Episode
    • How shame narratives become generational
    • Secrecy as a survival strategy
    • Why systems resist change
    • The relationship between shame and belonging
    • Identity fragmentation and moral injury
    • The first steps toward challenging old narratives

  • When Your Nervous System Is Running Your Relationships with Laurie Proctor

    When Your Nervous System Is Running Your Relationships with Laurie Proctor
    Mar 27 2026
    Why do the same patterns keep showing up in your relationships—no matter how self-aware you are? In this episode, we unpack how dysregulation quietly shapes the way we connect, react, withdraw, and pursue. What looks like “overreacting,” shutting down, or conflict spirals is often your nervous system trying to protect you—not sabotage you. We talk about:
    • How emotional triggers are formed (and why they feel so fast and overwhelming)
    • The difference between reaction and response
    • Why awareness alone doesn’t break the cycle
    • What it actually takes to interrupt patterns in real time
    • How regulation changes the way we experience love, conflict, and connection
    This conversation isn’t about fixing yourself.
    It’s about understanding what’s been running underneath—and learning how to work with it instead of against it.

    About the Guest:
    Laurie Proctor is a professionally certified coach, Internal Family Systems practitioner, Human Design coach, and certified Enneagram instructor who partners with individuals, teams, and organizations seeking healing and transformation.
