Episode Summary:
In this empowering and hilarious episode, host Carrie Murray dives into the complicated world of boundaries, saying no, and personal reinvention—with the brilliant and blunt Tracy O’Malley. Known globally for her transformative work with the Enneagram, Tracy breaks down why setting boundaries is so hard (especially for women), how people-pleasing shows up in different Enneagram types, and why saying "no" might be the most loving thing you do for yourself and others.

Carrie kicks things off with a deeply personal (and hysterical) story about how she nearly took a job on a cruise ship just to avoid confrontation. Tracy unpacks the psychology behind these kinds of decisions and shares how understanding our Enneagram type helps us break free from cycles of self-abandonment, burnout, and resentment.
