Description

Beyond the Type is an Enneagram-inspired podcast about the beautiful mess of being human, inspired by the notion that you don't need to be fixed, you need to be found. Hosted by Sandy Swanson, Certifed Life and Leadership Coach, this show explores how personality, communication, and self-awareness shape our relationships - with ourselves and with each other - for better or for worse. Who among us hasn't felt lost, confused, or unsure of who we are authentically and what we want out of life...? Whether you’re Enneagram-curious or deep into your growth journey, this podcast is your space for meaningful conversations, some frank truth-telling, and maybe a few laughs along the way. Together, we’ll unpack the patterns that hold us back, explore what makes us tick, and learn how to live with more compassion, clarity, and connection.
