The Enneagram, Joy, and Why Happiness Isn’t Enough

The Rachel Roth Show

Have you ever had a conversation that left you feeling inspired, uplifted, and ready to take on the world? Today’s episode does just that. Rachel had the pleasure of sitting down with Nate Chatfield, a director of soccer and a licensed speaker, who shared his journey of personal growth and the profound impact it’s had on his life.

Certified through the John Maxwell training program, Nate’s approach to life isn’t just about self-improvement—it’s about using his personal growth to impact those around him. Nate breaks down one of Maxwell’s core principles, the Law of Intentionality.

Nate and Rachel also explored the Enneagram—a tool that has transformed how he understands and interacts with others. The Enneagram isn’t just about self-awareness. It’s about elevating how we treat each other. Nate believes if we all truly understood ourselves and each other, we’d create stronger, more authentic connections—whether at home, in business, or in friendships.

Nate also shares a raw and personal story about his wife that led him to understand the difference between happiness and joy. Happiness, he says, is fleeting based on what’s happening around you. But joy? Joy is defiant. It’s rooted in knowing who you are and can’t be shaken by your circumstances. “Joy is a choice,” Nate reminds us, and it’s one worth making, even when life tries to pull us down.

For Nate, it all comes back to using his growth to help others. His goal is simple: to add value to every person he meets, leaving them better than he found them. After this conversation, Rachel is confident you’ll walk away feeling both inspired and ready to take meaningful action in your own life.
