Today's bonus episode of Everything Belongs features hosts Mike Petrow, Carmen Acevedo Butcher, and Drew Jackson in conversation with Chichi Agorom, author of The Enneagram for Black Liberation: Return to Who You Are Beneath the Armor You Carry. Listen in to explore Chichi’s key insights: Our Enneagram type can be like a suit of armor: protective but sometimes restrictive. She defines vulnerability as a willingness to be impacted without controlling the outcome. Her three-part framework of power: power over, power within, and power with. Why collective, shared power matters, especially in moments of cultural upheaval. The distinction between information, knowledge, and embodied wisdom. Chichi closes by reflecting on how each Enneagram type carries its own “superpower” that can serve the collective when held with awareness rather than defensiveness. Today's episode asks us each: Can we see healing not as a solo pursuit, but as a collective effort moving us towards mutual liberation? Find the transcript for this episode here.

Today, Fr. Richard Rohr unpacks the Enneagram Type Three, which is often referred to as “the achiever.” We live, as Fr. Richard puts it, in “a Type Three culture” — a culture obsessed with image, achievement, and approval. Threes often learn as children that love is earned through performance rather than given freely. Over time, this can lead to an over-identification with the presentable self, at the expense of deeper authenticity. Today we're also joined by actor, director, and musician Josh Radnor, who is best known for starring on the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Josh discusses the multi-faceted nature of professional success and the complexity of finally reaching the "top of the ladder" — only to find it leaning against the wrong wall. Today's episode poses a moving question for us all: Can we be loved for who we are, not what we accomplish? Find the transcript for today's episode here.

Sign up for monthly reflections, practices, and resources that connect contemplative wisdom with your daily life: https://cac.org/belongs2026/ Take a Deeper Dive into Type Three Threes are at the center of the heart triad. They are driven by how they are perceived as well as a need to succeed — and to an outsider looking on, they often do appear very successful. However, their success is often driven by their core wounds. “Through my competence and overproduction, can I prove my worth?” is a central question for Enneagram Threes. Authentic and redeemed Threes can spread truth and grace in a way that is professional and efficient. Their wound can become their gift.

Today on Everything Belongs we're joined by author and Enneagram teacher Hunter Mobley, to explore Type Two on the Enneagram — “the helper.” Type Twos excel at offering deep empathy, generosity, loyalty, and a strong desire to care for others. However, there’s also a shadow side to this type; they may struggle with boundaries, have hidden expectations for validation, or carry resentment from giving too much to others. Fr. Richard explains that many Twos learn early in life to earn love through caretaking. Hunter expands on how cultural expectations, gender roles, and spirituality can shape or mask each of the Enneagram types, with particular emphasis on the Two. Tune in to discover how the Enneagram is not just about personality typing, but about transformation and solidarity. Welcome to a journey that helps reveal how everything — and everyone — belongs.

Sign up for monthly reflections, practices, and resources that connect the contemplative wisdom with your daily life: https://cac.org/belongs2026/ Take a Deeper Dive into Type Two Twos are a part of the heart triad. They are “other-directed” people, whose well-being depends on how their environment reacts to them. We all have this same concern, to some degree. It grows out of the mirroring we received or didn’t receive as a child when we were first developing our sense of identity. “Who am I in your eyes?” is a central question for Enneagram type twos.
