Description

#33: In this powerful episode of The Frequency Effect, Henry Penix sits down with Enneagram expert and executive coach Tracy O’Malley, whose transformational work has helped shape leaders at Google, Facebook, and John Deere. Tracy opens up about her deeply personal story—from childhood dysfunction and codependency to finding healing, sobriety, and purpose. Now 13 years sober, Tracy shares how the Enneagram became the key to not only rebuilding her family life but guiding others toward true alignment and impact.


Tracy explains what the Enneagram really is (hint: it’s not just another personality test) and how knowing your core motivation and fear can help you transform both your internal and external life. Whether you’re a CEO, a parent, or just someone ready to break generational cycles, this conversation is packed with vulnerable truth, powerful takeaways, and a roadmap to emotional freedom. Get ready for Part 2—where Tracy analyzes host Henry Penix’s Enneagram results live!
