Hosted by Stef Becker (Sadashiva), creator of Pi9 Purpose Intelligence® and The Enneagram Matrix™ system, this podcast goes far beyond surface-level personality typing to show you why generic self-improvement fails—and how to find the personalized path that actually works for YOUR unique mind.

Each week, discover how to transform limiting patterns into purposeful living through the integration of Enneagram psychology, 2,400-year-old Yoga wisdom (Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, and the four classical yoga paths: Raja, Karma, Bhakti, Jnana), and cutting-edge AI technology.

WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
• Deep dives into all 9 Enneagram types and 27 subtypes
• Guardian vs. Saboteur patterns—your strengths and growth edges
• Purpose Intelligence® principles for decoding life's sacred signposts
• Ancient Yoga Sutras and the four yoga paths applied to modern transformation
• Practical tools: meditation, breathwork, journaling tailored to your specific type
• Real transformation stories from the Valley of Guardians community
• Integration of spiritual depth with professional success
• Workplace spirituality and conscious leadership insights

WHO THIS IS FOR:
Whether you're a sensitive soul seeking authenticity, a conscious professional integrating success with spirituality, a leader bringing purpose to your organization, or simply ready to move from pattern recognition to lasting transformation—this podcast provides both the insights AND the practices for sustainable change.

ABOUT YOUR HOST:
Stef Becker, known in the yoga tradition as Sadashiva, is the creator of Pi9 Purpose Intelligence® and The Enneagram Matrix™ system. As an IEA Certified Enneagram Coach, RTT Clinical Hypnosis Practitioner, and CEO since 2009, he uniquely bridges worldly professional success with deep spiritual practice.

Through this integration of business leadership, spiritual devotion, and psychological expertise, Stef guides conscious souls to discover their authentic path—proving that worldly success and spiritual depth enhance rather than diminish each other.
