These two highlight how well 8s and 3s can team up in a leadership/work environment.
8s IN RELATIONSHIP ● We've heard you all have a lot of trouble with 2s. This is an example of how awesome they can be in friendship. They are the soft landing we rarely get.
8s IN RELATIONSHIP ● We found a 1 we like!!!! Kate's mom, Jan, talks about raising an 8 and why she often felt like she lost every battle. But, she also shares that her 8 daughter was/is her greatest encouragement as well.
8s IN RELATIONSHIP ● Jo's little sister is a type 9, and she's SO grateful for that. Jo always knew what to do, and said so. Katie (type 9): "I kinda like being told what to do." Enough said right there.
8s IN RELATIONSHIP ● Jo lost her very best 8-friend when her mom died seven years ago, but now she's gained a handful of 8 bestfriends/siblings through this community. Thomas (from episode #30) has become an extra brother to Jo at this point. Hear why it's a natural fit to do life with other (healthy) 8s.
8s IN RELATIONSHIP ● Friends Eryn (with a y) and Erin (with an i) reflect on the high energy, high joy relationship they share, and how the safe and gentle "push" of an 8 helped a hurting 7 stop to take care of her tattered wings.
8s IN RELATIONSHIP ● Lifelong friends Eryn and Julia firm up her type, and then chat about the ways both Eryn and Julia's type-8 husband compliment and contrast with Julia's 6ness.
8s IN RELATIONSHIPS ● This one's for you 8 parents out there trying to raise a 5 kiddo and feeling like the more you try to move towards them the less accessible they become. This episode will teach you what not to do when raising a type 5. But it'll also encourage you that, in the end, our 5s would choose us every time. They love sheltering under our wing, so to speak, and riding off our powerful up-draft. Meanwhile, our 5s make us better thinkers and wiser decision makers.
I guarantee you've had this happen to you. You're having a nice chat with someone and suddenly they learn you are an enneagram 8 and they exclaim in surprise "No way! I never would have guessed." And you're left wondering what they think an 8 even is, because you're just being you. This season, maybe we'll find out. In this episode, we take an educated guess as to what each type thinks we 8s get right and what we get wrong.
This is basically a really long, social hangout-- which makes sense. Bonus: A lot of talk of about Type 1s, and some fan-girling about Brene Brown.
Four Self-Preservation 8s join us for a panel episode on the Self-Preservation instinct.
What happens when you put five SX 8s on a call? This. We break the stereotypes.
An informal chitchat between Jo (SX 8) and Lamar (SP 8) about the way each others' instincts have hurt us in the past.
As a Self Preserving with 2 in her tritype, Lisa is the mama bear of our little 8 community. The guardian and cheerleader. She holds the line for us all and we appreciate it.
Lamar introduces us to the concept of a Self-Preservation "resource engine" or "resource machine." He also assured us that the words "Skills" and "Deals" are very fine words indeed to a Self-Preserving 8.
This episode ended up highlighted really clearly the difference between an 8 with SX first versus an 8 with SX last. Jess and Jo press in at totally different points in a situation, taking on very different roles.
Amanda is our 835 from episode 46. We had her back to talk about what it's like to have Social as her first instinct, Sexual as her second, and Self-Preservation as her blindspot.
Drew is our second SX8 with the same stacking as Jo. He thinks his tritype might be 864. SX8 energy is often associated with female energy because of its intensely keyed-in, relational vibe, so we're glad Drew helps set the records straight.
Our very own Enneagram 8 Pod slumber party with Kate Brennan gave us the perfect opportunity to do an interview on the Sexual instinct. All three of us have similar tritypes, but we found it was the shared Sexual instinct that made Kate and Jo most similar. You'll hear that for yourself in this episode.
You're blind to your last instinct for a reason: To consider it is to let go of the death grip you have on your most basic way of surviving in the world. Do you dare consider there might be another way to live?
