It creates language for what motivates us and helps us look at the way we look at everything else. Most importantly the enneagram is a mirror; because sometimes you need help seeing yourself.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T06:19:16.945465+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508"},"episode":{"title":"\"Scientific Enneagram\" | Dead Dads and Grief (A Bonus Episode)","slug":"scientific-enneagram-dead-dads-and-grief-a-bonus-episode","published_at":"2026-04-12T10:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508/scientific-enneagram-dead-dads-and-grief-a-bonus-episode","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508","url":"https://www.aroundthecircle.org/episodes/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d4d3762c-e9e5-4deb-ab80-3d571b9b0b1b.mp3","summary":"Danielle returns to the Scientific Enneagram podcast to share the story behind her unexpected absence—her father’s sudden transition to hospice the very day the podcast launched, and his passing shortly after. Joined by Melissa Kircher, the conversation moves through grief as it actually unfolds: nonlinear, unpredictable, and often impossible to name. Together, they explore how loss interacts with personality—especially through the lens of the Enneagram—touching on anger, emotional processing, withdrawal, and the tension between intellectualizing and simply feeling. More than a discussion of grief, this episode becomes an honoring. Danielle reflects on her father’s life as an engineer, a thinker, and a deeply influential presence who helped shape her love of science and nuance. Through stories, systems, and his unforgettable “11 life axioms,” a portrait emerges of a complex, principled man whose legacy continues to shape her work and voice. This conversation offers both insight and companionship for anyone navigating loss—and a reminder that grief, like love, doesn’t follow a formula.
