The Enneagram Three and Being Known | A Three's Wholehearted Journey with Maila Rito

The Enneagram Three and Being Known | A Three's Wholehearted Journey with Maila Rito Amy interviews Myla about discovering she’s an Enneagram Three after years of mistyping as a One and then a Nine. A business crisis in August 2024—publicly announced goals, intense pressure, and not hitting the target—triggered shame and exposed the Three’s fear of failure, high-functioning anxiety, and tendency to avoid emotions through productivity. Reading about Type Three brought bittersweet clarity and childhood flashbacks, while growth has meant learning to slow down, name feelings, and hold ambition with authenticity, influenced by a strong Four wing and a Filipina cultural backdrop of both achievement pressure and shrinking back. Myla shares how a convention stage recognition became a spiritual turning point, leading her to pivot into coaching and transform “Tribe Rising” into a community for women focused on belonging, healing, and purpose. She closes with a message to Threes: you are loved and enough without proving yourself. 00:00 Meet the Enneagram Three 01:33 Mistyped as One and Nine 02:56 Business Goal Crash and Shame 05:56 Discovering Type Three 09:34 The Moving Goal Line 10:53 Anxiety and Avoiding Feelings 16:35 Tribe Rising Origin Story 21:23 Comparison and Boundaries 23:42 Filipino Culture and Success 26:51 Four Wing Tension and Growth 30:40 Faith Grace and Belonging 34:34 Final Message You Are Enough
