Episode #10: From Panic to Presence: What My Foot Injury Taught This Type 6

The Enneagram Edge: Drive Life & Biz Success With The Enneagram

In this episode of the Enneagram Edge, Margot gets personal and vulnerable about a recent moment that sent her nervous system into full "what if" mode. When a simple misstep off the porch led to a painful, swollen foot just days before an international trip, her Enneagram Type 6 wiring kicked in hard—catastrophizing, spiraling, and berating herself for being "careless."

She shares how this wasn't just about a physical injury—but an invitation to practice shifting from panic to presence, self-blame to self-trust, and over-reliance on external reassurance to connecting with her inner knowing.

This episode is a compassionate, unfiltered peek into how fear plays out in real life for Type 6s—and the small, grounding rituals that can help you come back to center when life throws you a curveball (or a sprain).
