Women's Music Industry Support Group: The Enneagram

You chose this industry because something in you had to. But somewhere between the hustle and the heartbreak, the ambition and the exhaustion, it can get hard to remember exactly who that person is and what actually drives her.

This month, we're spending time with a tool that a lot of people find genuinely useful for that kind of clarity: the Enneagram. And we have the perfect guide. Katie Oliveras is a certified Enneagram coach and working artist who has spent years helping creative women use this framework to better understand themselves and build more sustainable lives.

Not as a personality quiz. Not as a label to hide behind. As a mirror. The Enneagram is one of the more nuanced frameworks for understanding how you're wired. How you make decisions, what motivates you at your core, what you look like under pressure, and where your default patterns might be quietly working against you. In an industry that asks so much of you, understanding your own operating system isn't self-indulgent. It's strategic.

We'll talk about what the Enneagram actually is and how to read your results honestly. We'll explore what different types tend to look like in creative and professional environments — where they thrive, where they spiral, and what they need that they don't always ask for. And we'll open it up to share what resonates, what surprises us, and how this kind of self-knowledge can change the way we work, collaborate, and take care of ourselves in an industry that rarely slows down long enough to ask.

If you haven't taken an assessment, it's worth doing before you come. The most accurate results come when you answer as you actually are, not as you want to be or think you should be. Answer from your gut, not your aspirations. Think about how you behave when no one is watching, or when things get hard, not your best days. Use your “young 20s” mindset…how you respond as an adult, but before you make your responsive decisions.
