Childhood and the Enneagram : The Stories that Shape Us
Childhood and the Enneagram: Stories That Shape Us is a podcast for parents, educators, therapists, and anyone ready to heal their story and help others do the same.
Hosted by licensed therapist, Enneagram practitioner, and author Susan Parker Jones, this series explores how our earliest experiences shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and show up for the next generation.
Grounded in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and the Harmony Model of the Enneagram, each episode unpacks the unconscious narratives we carry from childhood — and how those stories show up in our parenting, leadership, and self-talk.
Through real-life reflections, practical tools, and compassionate insight, you’ll learn how to:
- Recognize and rewrite your Inner Childhood Narrative (ICN)
- Understand children’s behavior through the lens of connection and nervous system safety
- Use Enneagram wisdom to foster emotional growth and secure relationships
- Break generational patterns with clarity, presence, and grace
Because healing your story is where generational change begins — and every small shift has the power to create lasting transformation.

For Every Parent Who’s Ever Wondered If They’re Enough
In honor of Mother’s Day, I’m sharing a heartfelt reading of the Introduction to my book, The Wholehearted Child — a celebration of all who nurture, guide, and help heal the next generation.
Whether you are parenting children, nurturing students, supporting clients, or tending to the younger parts of yourself, this episode is a reminder that your presence matters more than perfection.
This is a gift of encouragement for every mother, teacher, therapist, and nurturer doing the quiet, courageous work of love.
May you hear in these words a reflection of your worth, your impact, and the beauty of your journey toward wholehearted living.
