Enneagram Mistyping & People-Pleasing: Finding My Real Self After 40 Years of Performing

Send us Fan Mail

You've taken the assessments. You know your type. But what if the personality you've built your whole life around isn't really you — it's the version you learned to survive as?

In this episode, Rachel gets honest about the day she found out she'd been ghosting herself: confusing a survival strategy for her identity for four decades, and calling it personality the whole time. She shares why most of us take personality tests the wrong way — your first answer might not be your truth, it might be your training — what happened when she fed five different assessments into AI and asked where they all pointed to the same woman, and why the joy she spent years apologizing for turned out to be the very thing she was made to offer. Because childlike isn't childish, and being too much, too bright, too playful was never the problem.

This is the heart of Good Girl Ghosting: the socially approved disappearing act — the gold-star-earning, box-checking, don't-make-waves version of yourself that everyone rewards, right up until you realize she isn't you. And it lands somewhere lighter than you'd expect, because reclaiming yourself isn't always deep excavation. Sometimes it just looks like finally dressing like the woman you actually are.

If you've been calling your real self "too much" for too long, this one's for you.

In this episode:

Why your personality might be a survival story wearing your face
The one question that separates what's true from what's automatic
How to take a personality test so you get your answer, not your conditioning
What five assessments plus AI revealed about the real you
Childlike vs. childish — and the joy you were never meant to apologize for
The socially approved disappearing act, and the way back to yourself

A few lines worth remembering: 
"What you thought was your personality was actually your survival story wearing your face." 
"I wasn't managing my personality — I was suppressing my calling." · "Childlike isn't childish."
