In this episode of The Real Enneagram, we had the pleasure of welcoming Beverly Casey, a graduate of the Scholars Program at the Institute for Conscious Being. Beverly, a mental health clinician from Cleburne County, shared her transformative journey with the Enneagram, which she began nearly 15 to 20 years ago.
As an Enneagram Type Two, Beverly discussed the challenges she faced before discovering the Enneagram, including feelings of chaos and the desperate need to please others. She candidly reflected on how her desire to help often stemmed from a place of need rather than genuine altruism, leading to burnout and strained relationships. However, through her work with Dr. Joe Howell and the Enneagram, she found a path to greater self-awareness and healing.
Beverly emphasized the importance of humility and grace in her life, noting how these virtues have allowed her to nurture her relationships without the expectation of receiving something in return. She also shared insights into how the Enneagram has positively impacted her marriage and family dynamics, providing a common language for understanding each other better.
In her professional role, Beverly has been able to guide other clinicians, fostering an environment of grace and calm in crisis situations. She highlighted the ripple effect of this work, as it not only benefits her colleagues but also the clients they serve.
Throughout our conversation, Beverly's passion for her community and her commitment to personal growth shone through. We discussed her creative pursuits, including writing and community theater, which have helped her reconnect with her joyful soul type.
As we wrapped up, it was clear that Beverly's journey exemplifies the profound impact of the Enneagram on personal and professional lives. We are grateful for her insights and the light she brings to her community. Thank you for joining us today, and we hope you found inspiration in Beverly's story.

In this episode of The Real Enneagram, we kick off our series on the virtues and holy ideas associated with each Enneagram type. I, Nanette Mudiam, along with my co-host Dr. Joe Howell, am thrilled to welcome Dr. Renee Harmon, our first guest, who identifies as an Enneagram Type One.
Dr. Renee shares her journey as a family medicine physician and the profound impact of her late husband Harvey's diagnosis with younger onset Alzheimer's disease. We discuss how this life-altering experience shaped her understanding of herself and her Enneagram type. Dr. Renee reflects on her initial reluctance to embrace her identity as a Type One, often associated with perfectionism, and how she has come to appreciate the concept of "holy perfection" as wholeness rather than flawlessness.
Throughout our conversation, we explore the importance of serenity in her life, especially in the face of challenges. Dr. Renee shares her love for hiking, which became a significant source of solace and connection to nature during her husband's illness and after his passing. We also touch on her advocacy work for Alzheimer's care, her writing endeavors, and her upcoming hiking challenge of Mount Kilimanjaro.
As we delve into the qualities of her soul child, Dr. Renee reveals how reconnecting with her inner joy and spontaneity has enriched her life. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, growth, and the beauty of embracing our true selves amidst life's complexities.
We hope you enjoy this enlightening discussion and find inspiration in Dr. Renee's journey. Don't forget to subscribe and share this episode with your friends and family!
