The Morning Show | The Enneagram and Advice

Episode Two of the Morning Show and we are joined by the TJ Wilson.

We are talking about the art of advice. Together they explore why giving advice can feel so natural, why receiving it can feel so difficult, and how often “help” is tangled up with control, fear, projection, or the need to be affirmed.

The conversation moves beyond simple tips and asks a bigger question:

When we seek guidance, are we really asking what to do next—or who we are becoming?

They also discuss:

1. the difference between advice, coaching, and therapy
2. why many people asking for advice may actually want approval
3. how each Enneagram type can be compelled to offer help in different ways
4. the role of curiosity, respect, and autonomy in healthy support
5. why growth often begins beneath the surface problem
6. whether coaches should have a universal target for health and flourishing

This is a rich, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about wisdom, self-awareness, and the kinds of questions that actually help people change.
