The Stories That Shape Us, feat. Melanie Shankle (Enneagram 9)
Description
How do our early stories shape who we become, and what would it look like to embrace healing and grace along the way?
In this heartfelt episode of Typology, we welcome Melanie Shankle, an Enneagram 9 with an 8 wing and author of Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generational Trauma.
Melanie opens up about the impact of a turbulent childhood, the people-pleasing patterns that followed, and what it took for her to confront her past with honesty and compassion. Together, we explore how writing her book became a profound path of self-understanding and generational healing.
Whether you’re reflecting on your own childhood, parenting, or your inner growth as an adult, this honest and hopeful conversation invites you to embrace grace, compassion, and deeper self-awareness.
Tune in and discover that healing often begins when we dare to face the stories we thought we had to hide.
