In this episode, I sit down with Eric Rutledge, an Enneagram Type 8, who recently completed my Unf*ck Your Type Enneagram course. We dive deep into his experience working through defense mechanisms, blind spots, and the journey from vice to virtue.

What We Cover:

• Eric's "holy shit" moment recognizing when he goes on autopilot to avoid vulnerability and how that awareness changed everything
• The blind spot revelation and how Type 8s unconsciously take on pushy "helper" energy with close people and why the repair conversations were harder than expected
• Why vulnerability isn't weakness and how Eric learned to open "some doors" without opening them all at once
• The truth about Type 8 hearts and why protecting that tender core through control and intensity actually isolates you from the people who matter most
• How learning to be vulnerable with yourself (not just others) unlocks emotional freedom you didn't know you were missing
