The Wholehearted Enneagram Podcast
You're doing all the right things... showing up for your family, your faith, your work, yet still something feels off. You're overwhelmed more than you want to be. Your relationships have the same friction points. You wonder why you keep getting in your own way.
Your starting point doesn't have to be your stuck point.
The Wholehearted Enneagram Podcast with Amy Wicks exists for faith-driven women who are ready to get to the root, not just better strategies, but real transformation from the inside out.
Each week, Amy brings honest conversations, personal stories, and the kind of practical wisdom that actually changes how you see yourself and the people you love.
The Enneagram is the tool. Christ is the transformation. And you were made for more than just managing your patterns.

What does the VVHG journey look like for a Six who has spent her career holding space for other people’s fear?
Wholehearted Enneagram: A Year Through the Types | Type 6 | Episode 3 of 4
In this episode, Amy talks with Gwen Sledge, a Wholehearted Coach, former nurse, and Type Six who knows from the inside what it’s like to be the steady, reliable, vigilant one... and what it costs. Gwen walks through the Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide framework through a Six lens, drawing on her own story and her work coaching women who are ready to stop managing everything and start living from something deeper.
This episode is especially for the nurses, caregivers, and first responders in this community; the Sixes who have given their vigilance to everyone else and are ready to find out what groundedness feels like for themselves.
In this episode:
- The Six's loud inner committee and how it differs from the One's inner critic
- How the three Six subtypes present differently: social, self-pres, and counter-phobic
- The victim role: freezing, scenariating, and waiting for the second shoe to drop
- The villain role: anxiety projected outward, resentment, and relinquishing responsibility, then resenting it
- What it looks like when a Six steps into the hero — trusting discernment, coming back to center
- "Lord, I trust you, but I don't trust me," and why that's still a trust problem
- The guide role: holding space without gripping, and relinquishing an inflated sense of responsibility
- The lie most Sixes carry: "It's all up to me"
- "Fear is not the boss of me" — the truth statement that counters it
- What those who love a Six most need to hear: don't dismiss us
- A special word for nurses and caregivers in the Six community
You are braver than your fear. You don’t have to scan the horizon alone.
