High-achieving women are the most mistyped on the Enneagram. And that’s because the online assessments only consider our behaviors, not the motives behind them.

Joy Harrington spent her childhood doing everything right. She excelled at school and helped raise her younger siblings. And she grew up to be a successful entrepreneur who knows how to get sh*t done.

So, it’s no surprise that Joy was mistyped as a 3. But her ambition isn’t motivated by a need for significance, and she didn’t really identify with the ethos of a Competitive Achiever.

What DOES motivate Joy? And how have her experiences changed the way her type is expressed?

Joy is the CEO of Level Up Babe, a coaching practice and podcast that helps women release shame and step into their feminine power.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, Joy and I uncover her true type, the Enthusiastic Visionary Enneagram 7, exploring why she spent most of her childhood in her stress number and how that influenced her behavior.

Joy opens up about her marriage, sharing the story of her separation and describing how she set boundaries for reconciling with her husband Peter.

Listen in to understand how Joy leans into her wings to bring her out-of-the-box ideas to life and learn how she is leveraging the Enneagram as a growth tool now that she knows her REAL type.
