The Cult of Enneagram

You're not controlling, you're a 1. You're not dramatic, you're a 4. You're not avoiding your problems, you're a 7. This week, certified 3's, Reese and Iman investigate the cult of the Enneagram, where a mysterious set of numbers has convinced millions of people they finally understand themselves, their exes, their coworkers, and the reason they forgot to text back. They're joined by Enneagram expert Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober (@enneagramashton) to unpack how Enneagram has become a sacred culty language for explaining literally everything. We dig into its surprisingly mystical origins, devoted followers, and the irresistible appeal of having your deepest flaws neatly organized into a convenient numerical category. Whether you've spent three years debating your wing, accidentally made your type your entire personality, or have weaponized attachment styles and the Enneagram in the same conversation, welcome home. The numbers already knew you were coming. Subscribe to Sounds Like A Cult on Youtube!Follow us on IG @soundslikeacultpod, @amanda_montell, @reesaronii, @chelseaxcharles, @imanharirikia.
