From the publisher

Beyond the Type is an Enneagram-inspired podcast about the beautiful mess of being human. Hosted by Sandy Swanson, Communication and Relationship Coach, this show explores how personality, communication, and self-awareness shape our relationships — with ourselves and with each other. Whether you’re Enneagram-curious or deep into your growth journey, this podcast is your space for meaningful conversations, gentle 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. Let’s go beyond the type—and into who we really are. No prior knowledge required—just curiosity, courage, and the occasional “Oof, that’s so me...!"
