Amy Poehler Got Me Obsessed with the Enneagram and Now Everything Makes Sense
Amy Poehler’s podcast Good Hang makes me ridiculously happy. Go listen to every single episode. I’ll wait. In every episode, she talks about the Enneagram;

It`s time for Bode`s Top 5 of 2025, it`s like the @spotify Wrapped but not really at all. Full link in my story and bio and wherever else we put those things.
2025 was a dumpster fire of epic proportions, but it`s also the year women recognized and owned their power and influence; because of that, I wouldn’t change a thing (ok, maybe a few things).
Here’s my recap and what I think it all means for 2026.
1. The Gray Wave: Women are quitting men cause we`re tired, we have each other, and life is easier without you. Ouch.
2. I Beg Your F*cking Pardon: Women are ruining the workplace with competence, collaboration, and equality. How dare us.
3. The Price of Your Cowardice: Is America great again? Guess I haven`t noticed between inflation, rising health care costs, and the sh*tty economy.
4. The Sisterhood. There is power in our gender; when we recognize and own it, we are unstoppable.
5. You Are the Face of Your Business. People buy from people, not logos. Embrace your personal brand, get out there, or watch your business suffer.

It’s the work no one notices or thanks you for. It’s evenings and weekends spent cleaning, organizing, filing, fixing, moving, and trying to catch up.
It’s calling the City because your garbage can is missing a lid, or waiting for the security company to come because there is a fault in your system, it’s shoveling the sidewalk every morning and weekends...it’s replacing bulbs in lights, scrubbing scuff marks off walls, washing windows...and it’s never ending.
Small business ownership is really hard, all-consuming, and only other owners truly get it. #personalbranding #smallbusiness
