Tracy O'Malley explores what it means to go first without permission, using the Enneagram's three centers of intelligence to show how each type experiences the call to act. She shares personal stories of entering rehab, becoming her family's first female entrepreneur, and leaving a lucrative business, and offers a framework: can you live with yourself if you don't?
Chapters
There's a moment, and it's usually really quiet, when you realize you're being asked to go first. Not first to post, not first to launch, not first to prove anything. The first to tell the truth. The first to stop pretending something fits when it doesn't. The first to move without permission, applause, or even certainty. And the thing about that moment is you don't get a crowd with it. You get a sensation in your body, a tightening, a knowing, a mix of fear and clarity that doesn't let you go back to sleep. Most people spend their lives waiting for it to feel safer, clearer, more obvious. But leadership doesn't announce itself like that. Leadership, whispers and men. It waits to see if you'll listen. Because the call to go first doesn't come when you're ready. It comes when you finally admit you already know what to do and you're running out of places to hide. Now, if you are feeling that nudge and you're not necessarily sure what to do about it, or you're terrified out of your skin, tune in. This episode is for you. Now, let's go. Hey. Hey.
And welcome to the Enneagram Edge. I'm your host, Tracy o', Malley, Enneagram expert leadership coach, recovering control freak, and your personal translator for the shit you keep repeating but don't totally understand yet. Now, if you're new here, buckle up. This is absolutely not another fluffy Enneagram podcast where we talk about how sweet it is to be an Enneagram too and bake cookies for your friends. No, this is the real deal. This show is about using the Enneagram as a tool for transformation. Not just information and definitely not some party trick. Because knowing your type is cute, but embodying your highest expression, that is where your edge is. Every week, I'm bringing you the truth behind the types and and the hype. How to stop self sabotaging, lead like a damn legend, and actually understand the.
People in your life without wanting to.
Scream into a pillow. Or if you're an enneagram 8 like.
Me, not throat punch someone.
We'll talk about leadership, relationships, business, healing, high performance, and why couples therapy isn't working. But fully understanding your Enneagram blueprint might just save your marriage. I'll drop solo episodes behind the curtain, coaching, and the occasional rant when when someone calls the Enneagram just a personality test. So if you're ready to stop playing small and start showing up with unshakable clarity, confidence, and compassion for yourself and others, this is your space. You've got an edge. Now let's use it.
Hey. Hey. Welcome back to the Enneagram Edge. I am your host, Tracy O', Malley, and we are through chapter one of 2026. We are moving into February, and the final shedding is happening. And as we shed, I think more clarity comes, more certainty in kind of the calling. However, the certainty on what to do about it maybe isn't clear. And I think this episode is going to be really powerful for me and really, really powerful for you as well. So what does going first actually mean? Right? It's not like the first in line at the store or things like that. This is kind of when you hit the fork in the road and you have a path that you know very well, even if it's really shitty and there's a lot of pain there. You know, there's a reason why we do what we've always done, because at least we know what we're going to get, right? Right? And sometimes that unknowing of what could be down the other road, the road that leads to going first, even if you know it's possible, it might turn out way better than even you can imagine. The unknown and the. And the consequences that come with that really get scary and cause us to kind of go down the roads we know. So let's get really honest about what going first means. Going first is not about being brave in public, and it's not about being bold on social media. And it's definitely not about being reckless. And, you know, there are many times in my life like I wasn't afraid to go first. Hello, big enneagram8energy. But usually back in the day, it was a little reckless, disruptive, would leave a trail of wreckage behind. But most of the time, going first actually doesn't look very impressive at all. It sometimes looks like saying this isn't working before anyone else agrees. Sometimes it looks like leaving a room where you still have a lot of street cred, clout and status. Sometimes it means and looks like ending something everyone else thinks you should be grateful for. And sometimes it looks like changing direction when the outside world still sees the momentum. And I'm not gonna lie, I have checked all four of those different kind of scenarios in my life, because going first is rarely loud. You know, it's quiet, it's internal. And this is the hard part. For most people, it's really deeply inconvenient, right? Because the moment you go first, you kind of stout out, you stop outsourcing. A lot of the things that have worked and you have made this decision. Usually it's from some kind of divine intuitive knowing. And those are the scary nudges, right? Like, on paper, I think a lot of us can, from the neck up, cognitively understand certain things. But it's when this deep knowing, this divine calling, the downloads that come as like, what you talking about, Willis? That does not make a lot of sense. All right? All my Gen Xers will understand, understand that reference. But when you make that decision, or it's like, holy, this is about to happen, you stop asking yourself, is this allowed? Will they understand? Will this make sense to everyone? And in kind of making this decision, that's the first hit. It's like, oh, yes, I. I understand this is going to be a little messy. And also, like, you, you may retract some of these things from time to time. It's like, oh, I'm going. It's. It's kind of like, okay, like, full transparency. Your girl here is probably one of the worst swimmers of all time. Like, my swimming level status is, like, not drowning. And always I'm an adrenaline junkie, too, and I love the thrill. And I want you to think about, like, this. Going first is like standing at the top of a high dive, right? And you. You're kind of creeping to the edge and creeping to the edge, and you know you want to do it. You know, like, when you do it, it' to be awesome. And then you get to the edge and you turn around and go back. You get to the edge and turn around and go back. And even as a child, I did that like a little girl. My younger sister, she's two years younger than me, that girl came out of the vagina unafraid to, like, do anything. And as a two and a half year old, and this is before, there were a lot of safety regulations on these things. Like, my parents would put that little girl on roller coasters. I grew up around Six Flags in Chicago, and, like, we used to go there. That was kind of our summer vacation. And that little girl was unafraid to do all of it. And here I am, the bigger, bigger sister, the warrior, right? And I have this unhinged little sister of mine. I used to admire this about her so much. I would feel embarrassed, like, because I really did want to go. I love the thrill. I love all the things. She would come off so excited, and I would stand in line and stand in line, and I could feel, like, my insides, like, wanting to come undone, right? And that's how this feels when we. When we know it's Time to go first on something. And then we backtrack a little bit, and sure, shit, you know, there were many, many times I'd get to the front of the line, they're ready to buckle me in, and I'm like, this, I'm out. And then I would have to stand by and watch my sister, my younger sister go and do this and. And experience the thrill, the joy, all the things. Now probably really unsafe because she was a little thing, too. But that's how this feels when we know, like, this is what we need to do. And also the fear that comes with this. And when you stop asking yourself, is this allowed? Will they understand? Will this make sense to everyone else? And you start asking the only question that actually matters. And this is a big one, and this is a big one. When we get to the edge and we're like, yes, I'm going to go first. And then we're like, fuck this, I want to go back. You know, the question that actually matters is, can I live with myself if I don't? I have sat at the bed of a few people that were really important to me, that were taking their last breath. And I tell you this, they were both pretty young, too. Late 50s, early 60s. And both of them did pretty cool things in their life, and both of them had regrets of things that they didn't do, right? So can I live with myself if I don't? Going first isn't like, some personality trait. Now, this may look for different. For different people, but it is a decision. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. And that's where this gets really like. Like, I know there's so many of you listening right now that you have this burning inside of you of like, yes, it's time. It's time. This is the year of the horse we're coming into. It's like, let's go. And also you're like, holy, I'm about to crap my pants. If I actually do this, what is the cost of this? If I actually go first, what if it doesn't? Like, isn't it? How do I really know? And this is why most people don't go first. And I want to slow this part down a little bit, because most people don't avoid going first because they're weak. Not even a little bit. I know you are strong beyond measure, but you might be avoiding it because you're human. Congratulations. We're all human. And nobody is immune to this feeling, right? You are wired biologically to prioritize safety and belonging and control and. And all the things over the truth sometimes, right? Especially if you were dropped into, you know, situations, families, traumas, schools, you know, people who had well intended, who were well intended, but, you know, they're kind of projecting their own fears onto you. Your nervous system doesn't care if your soul is shrinking, right? It really doesn't. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I need to know I'm safe, secure, significant, all the things, right? It cares if you're about to be rejected, judged, or even cast out. And this is where the Enneagram can give you kind of a little roadmap on how this might play out for. For you. Because how you resist going first is absolutely not random. It's very much in the beautiful atlas and compass that is the Enneagram, right? And if you're wired through the gut or instinctual center, my enneagram, eights, nines and ones, you feel the truth immediately. This has been a huge blessing and also very disruptive in my life. Like, I have had this divine knowing since I can remember. And also because of the environment I was in, I would abandon it all the time, right? But the eight to nines and ones, feeling that truth immediately, you feel it in your body, you feel it in your instincts, right? Now, instincts are very different than intuition, right? Instincts are kind of a reaction to what is happening. But going first can threaten stability and control and independence and autonomy. So instead of acting, the gut center, types, eights, nines and ones, kind of tighten up, endure, and hold the freaking line. Now, how that looks for an 8, 9, 1, is a little bit different, but we call it strength a lot of the times. Now, if you're wired through the heart center, my Enneagram, twos, threes and fours, you feel the truth emotionally and relationally. Relationally. But going first threatens belonging, approval, love, significance. And so the Enneagram, twos, threes and fours will sometimes adapt. A lot of times maybe shape shift. And you carry that misalignment quietly. And you feel it feels like this big pain in the middle of your chest. Sometimes, even if you go to work to kind of numb it out, shove it down, disassociate somewhere else, throw yourself into other people, right? And then you call it loyalty. Now, if you're wired through the head or thinking center, my fives, sixes and sevens, you see all the angles. This is where, like, your brain is. Like, I can see all of it. You can reverse engineer all of it. But going first threatens your certainty. Now, what that means for a 5, 6 and 7. You know, certainty means different things for those types. But that's still the motive, right? Is having certainty. So you want and wait for more data. You want more reassurance, you want more proof. You need to know things. You have questions, right? And you call it wisdom sometimes. But here's the truth. Across all three of the centers of intelligence. Waiting often isn't discernment. It's fear. It's the fear of the unknown. It's the fear of loss of independence, autonomy, control, significance or certainty, right? And there comes a point, quiet but undeniable, when staying costs more than leaving what you know. And that's when your body starts talking louder than your logic. And that's when exhaustion sets in. That's the where the resentment comes and is like a bulldozer in your life. The low grade anxiety that won't lift. Not because you're dramatic, not because you're dramatic at all. It feels very, very real in your body. But it's because you're out of integrity. It's like when you know better and not doing better. So what actually happens when you go first? Right? Let's kill that fantasy right here, right now. When you go first. People don't always cheer. In fact, a lot of times they think you're delulu, unhinged, crazy. What the actual right, that's actually what is going on a lot of the times. Because going first to speak truth, live truth, honor truth, the truth of who you're called to be really disrupts a lot of the people in your life. And some won't understand you. Some will project their fear onto you. Some will need you to be wrong so they don't have to move. Some will quietly or loudly disappear. And sometimes it's all the things I've experienced. All of it, all the time, all at once. A lot of the times when I've gone first. And that hurts. I don't give a Who you are. You can be a tough ass. Enneagram8. You can be any of the Enneagram types. I don't give a. It hurts. It really does. And especially if you care deeply about impact, connection, legacy. It is going to feel like a massive tug of war between your need for independence, control, significant certainty and the calling that's on your life. But here's the trade. Most people and you don't see coming. You may lose proximity, but you gain clarity. You may lose approval, but you gain self trust and self honor. You may lose the familiar, but you gain forward motion. And this is how, like, why I love the Enneagram so much and teaching you the integration of it, not just like the information or insight, you know. For the gut centered leader, my eight, nines and ones, going first means trusting your instinct without turning it into some kind of force or like, trusting your instinct is not necessarily a reaction in a not so good way, but it's like, oh, I know what's happening right here. For the twos, threes and fours and the heart centered center of intelligence, the heart centered leader, going first means telling the truth without negotiating your worth. I know that's really, really hard for my heart centered of intelligence people. And for the thinking center, head center leader, the five, sixes and sevens, going first means acting on clarity before any certainty arrives. And that's why it feels so destabilizing and so disruptive first inside of you. And then when you actually do go first, like, the compound and ripple effect of that sometimes gets pretty loud too, because going first asks each of us to grow beyond our default protection. That's why I love the Enneagraph too, because you know without certainty what your default fear, default motive is, and you can kind of curiously really look inward instead of beating yourself up or pulling out the shame stick. And real growth always feels painful and unsafe at first. It really, really, really, really, really, really does. Right? So you might say there was a moment in my life when I knew I had to go first and everything in me wanted to wait. And this, this. The Beauty of being 54, almost 54 years old, is I got a lot of examples. I got a lot of receipts on this. You know, I was the first in my family, the first in my community, the first in my friends that ever decided that this drinking culture, specifically my relationship with alcohol, was super dysfunctional and I needed to do something about it. I can't even tell you when I made decision to go first and check myself into rehab. Every person in my life thought I'd lost my mind. My friends, people that I was in relationship with were like, you're not that bad. You're not that bad. My family is like, what you talking about? Like, what are you talking about? Mind you, this is the same family. Love them very, very much, but I never remember any of our family members going anywhere to anyone's house without a cooler in hand. Right? Like, you know, so going first in that arena when I had absolutely no role model, no example of that in my life, was terrifying. However, I knew, and I knew before I actually went, that I needed to go first in that arena. Not just for myself, but especially for myself, but also for my kids. I knew if I didn't do this for me, I would not be able to honor the calling that I had felt on my life, most of my life. Right. I've also been first, first female in my house, in my family to enter entrepreneurship. And I'm going to tell you something. I have been so misjudged and misunderstood and projected upon and all the things been treated pretty shitty a lot of times. Been outcast, quite honestly. And that has been really, really painful. You know, as a woman and, you know, Gen X women, we're like the first generation of personal developers and entrepreneurship and, and it is super scary to be the first, not just of a generation of women, but also in a family. And it's been really painful. Like, the more that I step into my honor and my calling and my truth and the bravery and courage it takes to do some of these things, the more I misjudged and, and misunderstood. I've also gone first getting my breast implants out, quite honestly. Like, this wasn't talked about nine years ago. And I knew that. I knew that. I knew that. I knew, even though there was not a lot of evidence out there, that this was kind of a part of the issues I was having in my health. And I was so pissed when I found out, found out this was kind of a thing and nobody was talking about it. And also I had this deep dread because I was pissed that nobody was talking about it. I knew I was going to remove them because I was dying. And also with great reward would also come great responsibility and I was going to need to talk about it, which I did not want to do. And also I'm glad I did. You know, there are people that thought like, oh, okay, that's a little cray cray. But I've now, you know, referred hundreds of people to, you know, doctors and, and all sorts of protocol that might help them. And even walking away from some of my business ventures that I was at the top of my game, you guys. Like, I. There was one point, and none of this really excites me, but it's just the way it was. I. I couldn't walk into a room or even venture out around the town that I live in without somebody coming up to me, you know, because I had been going first and speaking out about sobriety, speaking out about business and network marketing at a time that, like, it was pretty cringy, right? And I was like, I'm gonna do it different, you know, being first to do it different, being first on social media to be vulnerable before so manufactured and now using like AI to be quote unquote vulnerable. It's such manipulative. But I was doing a lot of that and being super transparent and super vulnerable before it was a thing and you know, it, it proved to be super successful and also it came with targets on my back by a lot of the people that were closest to me. It's all really scary and also like. And I've, I've lost a lot of people, places and things as a result of that. However, I know that I am honoring the calling on my life. I've been able to build substantial wealth for my family. I have modeled breaking cycles and self honoring things for my kids who are now almost 30, right? And, and changing the trajectory of not just our financial life, but our emotional and spiritual lives by having the courage to go first. But it did not come without fear, loss, hurt, all the things, right? There's a moment when I, you know, when I continued to go first and, and most recently, you know that network marketing business that I've had for almost 14 years that I didn't have to do anything for it for close to six figures income every year, like I haven't touched the damn thing and in seven, eight years yet still was generating residual income based on all the hard work and investments I put into me, myself, my team, the company, right? And you know, about two years ago I felt this intuitive nudge that like I gotta let that go. There's something about holding on to that that is blocking what is next for me. Not just abundantly and financially, but also spiritually and emotionally. And I can feel that, you know, the work that I do in my consulting and coaching and the work with the Enneagram with teams, organizations, families, individuals, CEOs, C suites, all of it, like it's awesome and I love it and I go in and I help repair, course correct all sorts of things. And also then I'm moving on to something else. And I never feel like fully connected, right? Like fully connected, like I'm building something with them even you know, some of my long term clients. And when I felt that nudge two years ago, but I was like, yeah, but like why should I walk away from that when I don't have to do anything for it? But I knew, I knew I was going to have to go first for no reason to let that go and do something else. Not just something else that I was passionate about, but something else that would honor part of who I am. Which is connection. Everything in me was telling me, don't do it, don't do it, I'm gonna do it. Right? And then you have to kind of speak about it. When I decided to resign my position in my former network marketing company, you know, after not doing anything with it, I didn't have to do anything with it for the last seven, eight years for, for me to have that. But in order to do what was next, I was going to have to resign all of that and again face misjudgment, misunderstanding, you know, projection. And yes, all of that has happened. But when you know, you know, even though I was scared and still I'm scared sometimes, I'm not going to lie, I don't regret the decision, not for a moment. I'm having the time of my life. I am so feeling connected again. And when I feel connected, connected, I do my best work, I do my best loving, I do my best friending, I do my best parenting, I do my best, best self honoring. And it's still really scary on any given day, right? So I, I still am afraid, you know, afraid of losing people. You know, like I said earlier, like the more that I stand in my perfect, beautiful integrity, right? Like it really is like my integrity is my number one value. And when I know my intentions are nothing but pure and because of the work that I do, I don't just have good intent and like, if they don't understand it, like, fuck them. No, like because of the work I do, I really am conscious of who's in front of me. So that my well intention, my well intentions as well as my more effective communication can land a little bit different in a way that serves them, you know, But I'm still fearful. I can have the best intentions, I can be totally in integrity and I could still have all those things happen. And also this is where building this muscle comes into play. Because if I'm doing that inventory and checking myself and checking my ego and checking the motives and checking my integrity and checking my intent, and if all of those are like you're, you're in alignment, you're on point, if they don't understand or they leave me or if they judge me or if they talk shit or any, or even want to hurt me, I know that it's going to be okay. But it's still hurtful and it's still really scary. My body, when it's a hell yes, but my brain is going, no. My body gets really calm, right? And sometimes when our bodies get really calm we work to disrupt it. Especially if you've had a lot of trauma in your life. And like I knew how to operate with a dysregulated nervous system. I did for 40 something years. Right. I know that. Right. And this is when we start to manuf manufacture drama and chaos and, and self sabotage and all the things. But it, it never like this is again, the beauty of a lot of practice doing this is on the other side. Like I'm always still surprised by the calm. Right. Sometimes you have to walk into the storm to get into the eye of it. Right. And allow ourselves to see clearly. You know, I think a lot of times when you decide to go first you like because you're scared. This is when we get verbally vomiting you over explain, you justify why you're doing it. You feel like you have to build the case. You don't have to do it, you just gotta name it. Oh my God. Real Housewives, you guys. One of my favorite scenes in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sutton, don't love her, don't love her. I do like her this season, I will say, but she's an enneagram one. And that scene where she's like, name them, name them, name them. You just gotta name it and then land it. Right? Even when you want to backtrack, even when you want to over explain. And looking back, I can see how a lot of my wiring tried to protect me. You know, couple that with, you know, a lot of the familial evidence that it wasn't safe to do that and be bold like that. I was never wrong. I'm not broken. Neither are you. But I remain loyal to that pattern that had outlived its usefulness. And going first has required me to lead from a part of myself sometimes that I hadn't fully trusted yet. Now I do. I do fully trust myself. And it's still really scary. Like all of it can be true. You guys have heard me say like and is my favorite sentence or my favorite word in the dictionary and that still rings true even when I'm scared. I can be scared and let's go at the same time. So how do you know you're being called to go first? And how do you know that this isn't just some kind of passing thought or maybe even you're trying to be something that somebody else's because it looks successful or all the things you know, if you are eight, nines and ones, you feel it as tension, irritation, a low grade anger that maybe won't resolve if Your heart center, my twos, threes and fours, you might feel it as sadness, disconnection, that sense you're shrinking to stay close. And if you're in the head center of intelligence, the five, sixes and sevens, you might feel it as mental fatigue, the spinning out, the squirrel brain decision, paralysis that drains your energy. It's different sensations and the same message. You guys, you're more tired of betraying yourself than being misunderstood. And that's where you have to get to the point. Like at what point are you going to stop self abandoning and stop betraying yourself? I will say this, that even as painful as the misjudgment, misunderstood, the abandonment, all the things, what is made room for by that happening is something really, really beautiful. When you keep circling the same decision, it's not because you're confused, it's because you already know what's true and you're hoping that it will change. I'm telling you, it's a gift and kryptonite all at the same time to have this really deep seated knowing and also knowing how inconvenient, expensive, sometimes controversial it will be. And there are times I wish I didn't know what I know, what I know, what I know. And also at the same time, I wouldn't trade it for anything. What is the cost of not going first? Right? And here's the part that you're probably really trying to avoid. If you don't go first in your own life, you will keep following patterns that no longer fit. And I'm telling you right now, the more that you follow patterns that don't fit, the more resentment, shame, criticism, lack of self trust that will continue to brew and it gets louder and louder and louder. You'll tolerate misalignment and call it loyalty. You'll confuse, use endurance with strength. I did that one a lot. You'll stay in rooms and situations that suck the life out of you. And sometimes you do it because leaving would force a reckoning that maybe you don't feel equipped for. But I'm going to tell you like you are more than equipped. It will take bravery, take courage, resilience, all the things. But the cost compounds. And I'm telling you right now, you can get away with this when you're younger because you got some time. When you get to my eight, when you get to my age, it's like tick tock, tick tock, you got to keep going. But it does compound quietly, slowly, the older you get. It gets loud and loud and loud until one day you wake up and realize you built a life that looks fine but feels wrong. Fine feelings inside, not expressed. That's the real risk right now. Someone always goes first. And there have been times I haven't gone first, and I regretted it because then I see somebody else do it, and I'm proud of them and I'm excited for them. And also, it's like, oh, I missed that one. You know? And it doesn't have to be business. It could be anything. Right? Going first, even with hard conversations, that's really, really scary. There's a lot of risk there. Right? History just decides who's going to be the brave and courageous one to do it. You know, you don't have to go first recklessly. I want you to go first consciously, intuitively, to notice where your kind of wiring keeps you safe. This is why, again, I love the enneagram. And where it keeps you small and stuck. Right. And full of shame. Sometimes leadership isn't about transcending your pattern. It's about integrating it. And going first doesn't mean abandoning yourself. It means no longer letting those abandoned parts lead. Right. You don't need permission. You don't need the peanut gallery to chirp in. You don't even need certainty. You need courage. And courage isn't something you wait for. It's not something that's gonna feel right. Right. It's something you practice one honest decision at a time. And, you know, one of the things that I do in the work that I do with coaching and consulting is really help you embrace the courage, feel it. It doesn't feel good when. Before we take the steps forward, but really honoring it. And I. I take the privilege and honor very seriously that people like you trust me to help find the courage, then take action on it. It's one thing to have courage. It's another to take action on it. And so I know that this is probably hitting you hard as the final shedding is occurring before the official year of the horse begins. Right. And I know this is stirring something in you. Please don't rush to quiet it. That restlessness isn't a problem. It's a sign. And whether you listen to it or not, know that I love you either way. But it is the line between who you've been and who you're here to be. Because going first isn't the end of the story. It's the beginning of a whole new and sometimes different chapter. In the next episode, I'm going to talk about what actually happens after you go first, right after you take the jump after you're like, let's fucking go. The good, the hard and the parts no one likes to talk about. What opens, maybe what breaks, what surprises you, what has to be rebuilt, and also the fucking cool shit that happens when you do it. Because courage doesn't end with the decision, it's revealed in what you do once the door actually gets kicked open. And whether you listen to it is the line between who you've been and who you're becoming. And I am so thankful that you are here listening. I know that it is not by accident you're listening and I know that there's a calling and deep knowing for you that is scary. And I am so thankful that I get to be alongside you on this journey.

Sometimes a shit show, sometimes the celebration in what happens when you go first. Please Share Leave a Review for this podcast if you feel called to it mean the world to me.
