From Shame to Self-Acceptance: ADHD, the Enneagram & Emotional Resilience with Nate McCord

In this episode of The Nine Design, Sarina and Seth are joined by ADHD coach, Enneagram practitioner, and neurodiversity advocate Nate McCord for a rich and compassionate conversation about the ADHD brain. Nate shares his own journey of late diagnosis, shame, and self-understanding, and helps us unpack the difference between neurodivergence and mental health. We explore executive function, dopamine regulation, emotional resilience, and how ADHD can show up differently across the Enneagram types—especially through the lens of the Head Centre. This episode is especially meaningful for parents, caregivers, leaders, and anyone navigating ADHD, anxiety, or a highly self-critical inner world. -Links- Nate McCord * Nate McCord Coaching: https://natemccordcoaching.com [https://natemccordcoaching.com/]  * ADD Coach Academy (ADCA): https://addca.com [https://addca.com/] Enneagram Coaching & Spiritual Direction: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠reflecttheoriginal.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://reflecttheoriginal.au/] Buy Me a Coffee- Seth's page for updates and information: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/Seth.creator⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://buymeacoffee.com/Seth.creator] ⁠⁠⁠Barefoot Bros Music⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.barefootbros.com.au/] - Available on Spotify and other platforms.

Leading with a Spicy Brain: Neurodiversity, Burnout, & Psychological Safety with Kathryn Martens

Sarina and Seth sit down with leadership coach and neuro-affirming practitioner Kathryn Martens, founder of Release Leadership. Kathryn shares her own recent ADHD diagnosis, her journey supporting neurodivergent leaders, and why traditional leadership models often fail those with “spicy brains.” We talk about the rise in global neurodivergence awareness, the difference between neurodivergence and mental health, and why psychological safety is now legally mandated for Australian workplaces. Kathryn also explores how leaders can integrate head, heart and body intelligence, avoid burnout, and create healthier, more human work cultures. If you're a leader, neurodivergent, parenting kids with unique wiring, or simply curious about how different brains experience the world, this conversation is full of clarity, compassion, and practical wisdom. -Links- Kathryn Martens Release Leadership [https://www.releaseleadership.au] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/releaseleadership.au/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/releaseleadership.au] LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/releaseleadership] Book a complimentary call with Kathryn: https://www.releaseleadership.au/booking-calendar/meeting-or-session-with-kathryn [https://www.releaseleadership.au/booking-calendar/meeting-or-session-with-kathryn] Enneagram Coaching & Spiritual Direction: ⁠⁠⁠⁠reflecttheoriginal.au⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://reflecttheoriginal.au/] Buy Me a Coffee- Seth's page for updates and information: ⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/Seth.creator⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://buymeacoffee.com/Seth.creator] ⁠⁠Barefoot Bros Music⁠⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.barefootbros.com.au/] - Available on Spotify and other platforms.

Jeff Cook on Mental Health, Meaning Making, and Why Time Orientation Shapes Every Enneagram Type

In this rich and thoughtful conversation, Sarina sits down with philosopher, author, and co-host of the Around the Circle podcast, Jeff Cook, to explore one of the most overlooked layers of the Enneagram: time orientation. Jeff unpacks how each type takes in the world and responds to it through the past, present, or future - shaping everything from our anxieties to our relational patterns. We talk about the Head Centre, mental health, meaning-making, parenting through the lens of type, and what happens when philosophy, faith, and the Enneagram collide. - Links - Jeff Cook ⁠Around the Circle - Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/cw/aroundthecircle/home] ⁠Instagram⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/aroundthecirclepodcast/?hl=en] Around the Circle - an Enneagram Book [https://www.amazon.com.au/Around-Circle-Enneagram-Jeff-Cook/dp/B0FD46YT16] Enneagram Coaching & Spiritual Direction: ⁠⁠⁠reflecttheoriginal.au⁠⁠⁠ [https://reflecttheoriginal.au/] Buy Me a Coffee- Seth's page for updates and information: ⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/Seth.creator⁠⁠⁠ [https://buymeacoffee.com/Seth.creator] ⁠Barefoot Bros Music⁠⁠⁠ [http://www.barefootbros.com.au/] - Available on Spotify and other platforms.
