249. How the Enneagram Makes it all a Little More Understandable with Tyler Zach

"Grief isn't always about losing what was. Sometimes it's grieving what you thought would be."

What happens when grief collides with personality, parenting, and identity?

Today I'm joined by Enneagram teacher, author, and Type-ish founder Tyler Zach for a conversation about infertility, adoption, parenting through unexpected challenges, and the grief of letting go of the futures we imagined.

Together, we explore how personality shapes the way we grieve, why loss often looks different inside relationships, and what it means to honor grief without trying to fix it.

In this episode, we talk about:

How personality shapes the grieving processInfertility, adoption, and parenting through lossGrieving unmet expectations for ourselves and our childrenShame, achievement, and the Type 3 experienceIdentity shifts and leaving ministryWhy grief looks different for different peopleWhat it means to let go and move forward with honesty
