In Enneagram-speak, Enneagram Twos are called The Helpers.\xa0 They are some of the most loving, kind, supportive, upbeat, and\u2014when healthy\u2014genuinely helpful to other people.\xa0 Their underlying motivation is to feel loved and needed. But sometimes that need to be needed can lead to burn out.

But, why listen to me talk about The Helper when you can hear it from those who actually live it?\xa0 In this week\u2019s episode of Typology, I brought together a panel of Twos to describe what it\u2019s like in the mind of The Helper.\xa0 So, tune in and listen as the loud-laughing,\xa0contentedly uncool\xa0mom of three teenagers, Tia Coffey, \xa0Vanderbilt University fundraising specialist and stand-up comic, Geoff Little, and singer-songwriter-author, Andrew Greer join me to talk about finding the balance between giving enough and giving to the point of burn out.

Tia Coffey spends her workdays as an executive assistant, her evenings as a student, and her free time drinking wine, hiking, having theological conversations with friends, or hanging with her kids and an anxious chihuahua named Napoleon.\xa0

Geoff Little works by day as a fundraising specialist at Vanderbilt University, but after hours he spirals into a whirl of outgoing pursuits. He loves spoken word live performances, including stand-up comedy. He is former co-host of TenX9 Nashville, a critically acclaimed storytelling group.\xa0 He founded (and still leads) Nashville's\xa0 Beer & Hymns public singing group phenomenon, which sells out Nashville rock club Mercy Lounge on occasion (don't miss this year's St. Patrick's Day Pub Sing!).\xa0 He is married to his lovely wife, Tara, and on a good day, she lets him jog with her in the nearby Warner Parks, graciously slowing down her pace.\xa0\xa0

Andrew Greer is a multiple Dove Award-nominated singer-songwriter and respected author, known for his old soul sound and thoughtful prose. The native Texan-turned-Tennessean\u2019s folk-gospel discography displays a deep affection for vintage spiritual songs, instinctively captured on his critically acclaimed\xa0Angel Band\xa0hymn series\u2014reaching the Top 10 on Amazon and iTunes\u2019 mainstream charts upon release.

With a love for facilitating conversations that dig deep, Andrew co-created and co-hosts the video podcast, Dinner Conversations with Mark Lowry and Andrew Greer: Turning the Light on One Question at a Time. The conversations-centered series debuted at #1 on iTunes Religion & Spirituality chart last year, and is now syndicated on television nationwide.\xa0

Andrew has also authored two books\u2014 Transcending Mysteries: Who is God, and What Does He Want From Us? (Thomas Nelson) co-authored with Ginny Owens, and Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth: Spiritual Conversations Inspired by the Life and Lyrics of Rich Mullins (Worthy Publishing).
