#39: INsights to Enneagram 6: The Loyal Skeptic

In today’s episode, Heather continues the Enneagram series with a deep dive into Type 6, The Questioner, Loyal Skeptic, or Devil’s Advocate.

Sixes are loyal, responsible, and deeply committed to security and trust, but they often wrestle with anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking.

Heather explores how 6s show up at work and in relationships, their blind spots and fears, and their incredible capacity for courage and loyalty. Ultimately, the 6’s growth lies in learning to trust themselves, to take action even when the path isn’t certain, and to remember that the safety and courage they’re searching for already exists inside them.

Highlights include:

• The Six’s basic fear, motivation, and need for security

• How 6s manage fear through “worst-case scenario” planning

• The Wing influences for the 6

• How 6s respond under stress (Type 3) and in growth (Type 9)

• Blind spots: overestimating risk, seeking reassurance, and analysis paralysis

• Practical tips for growth, leadership, and self-trust
