The Enneagram Series - Personality Type 1: The Perfectionist with John Rutten

Welcome back to the next exciting instalment of our 10-part Enneagram Series, where we’re diving deep into the personalities that shape our lives. In today’s episode, we’re focusing once again on Personality Type 1: The Perfectionist, but with a fresh perspective from a truly unique guest—John Rutten.

John, a successful interior designer and founder of DuJourLiving, has a passion for creating dynamic living spaces that elevate both the value of a home and the lifestyle of its owners. John’s life experiences span multiple careers, from pastoral roles in ministry to energy healing and life coaching. With his rich background, John brings a powerful and deeply personal perspective on what it means to live as a Perfectionist and how understanding the Enneagram has been transformative for him.

What to Expect in This Episode: In today’s deep dive, we explore how Type 1s—also known as The Perfectionists—strive for excellence, often at the cost of self-criticism and the fear of being judged. John shares how his personal journey through multiple stages of life—career shifts, spiritual exploration, and personal development—has led him to embrace the wisdom of the Enneagram as a tool for self-discovery and healing.

You’ll hear about:

• John’s journey from church ministry to life coaching and energy healing
• How the perfectionistic tendencies of Type 1 show up in his life and business, especially in his work designing spaces that require precision and detail
• The pivotal role the Enneagram has played in helping John better understand himself, his motivations, and his unique life path

John’s story is a powerful example of how the Enneagram isn’t just a personality typing tool—it’s a catalyst for real transformation, helping people understand their true essence and live with greater purpose. Whether you’re a Type 1 yourself or just curious about the perfectionist mindset, this episode will offer insights that can guide you toward a more fulfilled life.
