Transforming Relationships with the Enneagram, feat. Jeremy and Audrey Roloff (Enneagram 9 and 8) [S02-039]
How does the Enneagram affect how you communicate with your spouse? Each Enneagram type has a different communication style which impacts the power dynamic in every relationship – whether that’s a relationship with a coworker, a friend, or a spouse. The Enneagram helps us understand where others are coming from and creates space for appreciating and negotiating our differences.
In today’s episode, former co-stars of Little People, Big World, and founders of Beating 50 Percent, Jeremy and Audrey Roloff join Ian on Typology to discuss the ways the Enneagram has shaped how they manage stress, helped them communicate better in their marriage, and transformed their relationship.

JEREMY AND AUDREY’S NEW BOOK
A Love Letter Life: Pursue Creatively. Date Intentionally. Love Faithfully.
“When I don’t contend with her, then I’m kind of losing ... She’s losing out on part of the relationship that she needs. But for me, there’s definitely a fear involved with that I think because if I did step up and became the healthiest nine ever, it’s like whoa, that could be really, really cool but what if something doesn’t work?”
