I'm joined by bestselling author, psychotherapist, and The Road Back to You co-author Ian Morgan Cron. While Ian has helped millions of people understand the Enneagram, this conversation is much more personal. Ian shares his own journey through addiction and recovery, why he believes every one of us is somewhere on the addiction continuum, and how our deepest attachments—to work, success, relationships, control, or even our own pain—can quietly shape our mental health. This was one of the most talked-about sessions on my Mental Health Summit and I think it will change the way you think about addiction.

You can find Ian, his best-selling books, Enneagram courses, and new Enneagram assessment at https://ianmorgancron.com/

You may know Greer Grammer from MTV's Awkward, ABC's The Middle, or as the daughter of actor Kelsey Grammer. I sat down with Greer to talk about what it's like to navigate the entertainment industry as an Enneagram Nine. We discuss handling rejection, responding to online criticism, her faith, mental health, and how the Enneagram has helped her better understand herself, her relationships, and her calling as an actress. This is a must-listen to episode if you an Enneagram Nine, an Enneagram coach, or are in relationships with someone who is a Nine.

The best place to follow Greer is on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/greer_grammer. She loves the community she’s built there and loves connecting with people.

I'm joined by Ben Higgins, who many of you know as Season 20's Bachelor on ABC's hit show The Bachelor. Together, we explore what it's really like to experience life as an Enneagram Four—from feeling misunderstood and wrestling with shame to navigating fame, marriage, and the longing for authentic connection.

You can visit his company Generous Coffee online at https://generouscoffee.com which donates 100% of its revenue to non-profits. I’d also recommend checking out his book Alone in Plain Sight wherever books are sold, and his podcast Almost Famous wherever you listen to podcasts.
