The Enneagram 8 Podcast

Last week, we gave you a sense of how we interact with the enneagram. This mini episode goes a lot further. This is our "podcast white paper." Jo lays out clearly and plainly what we've chosen to build into our enneagram tool kit, and what we've discarded. She explains that faith and science and plain practicality intersect in the way we use the enneagram system. We think you'll appreciate the frankness and the clarity.

We're launching into season one for real. We'll be picking apart the enneagram system piece by piece and building it back up using 8 language. We're starting with a high level discussion about how we interact with the system as a whole, what we thought about it initially, how we felt about learning we were 8s, and the quirky way we type people. We created a sister episode (coming up next) filled with our favourite books and resources. RESOURCES: The Thrive NeuroTheology Podcast (Jo's go-to)

We decided to lead with denial because IT'S A THING. 8s are absolute geniuses at denying things that just hurt too darn much to look at straight. So... we want to rip off the Band-Aid so you're wide open for the season ahead. Sound fun? We unpack an article written by fellow 8 and Enneagram Coach Cheryl McMillan about what denial is and does.

This episode is about the "nuts & bolts" of Jo's type: Wing, instinct stacking & tritype. She'll also tell you why the enneagram has been such a gift to a perpetual outsider like her. NOTE: We're so sorry about the audio. New mic + rookie mistakes... We'll get there. NEXT EPISODE: 8's and Denial!

This one's for all of you 8s who feel braced for a fight wherever you go. Jo gets it. She was that silent, watchful kid in every room that expected trouble. This episode is about what shaped her, and who she's become. The nuts & bolts of Jo: 8w7/SEXUAL/Tritype 847. Dig in!

This one's about Eryn. We figure that if you are going to lend us some ear time, you should know who we are, along with our particular "flavour" of 8ness. We discuss the nuts & bolts of Eryn: 8w7/SOCIAL/Tritype 827, and how life in her thirties (and all the hard things it threw her way) softened her, slowed her down, and helped her access her 9 wing. Enjoy! Resources: Zhuanlan (Triptype descriptions)

Another enneagram podcast?! Whyyyyyyy?! We'll tell you why. Also, we'll complain a bit about all the ways the world gets us wrong, but we'll set the record straight. Top resources for beginners: FINDING TYPE: RHETI Test (Best testing tool for typing. It will give you the ranking of all nine types within your personality in order of how dominant they are. Note: Your top few will help you determine your wing and tritype.) Enneagram Institute (A very comprehensive website that digs deep into each type). Art of Growth Podcast (We LOVE this one because it's a series of panel discussions. Hearing a handful of your type talk about themselves really helps clinch your type.) The usual go-to if you want simple reading is the book "The Road Back to You." WINGS: Crystal Knows (Very basic description of how a wing "flavours" your type.) INSTINCT STACKING: The Enneagrammer (A good rundown of how the order of stacking affects the way you move in the world) OceanMoonshine (The terribly-named, but very helpful site that describes each stacking). TRITYPE: Tritype is a realm of the enneagram that is only just beginning to be explored. Proceed only once you have 100% confidence in your core type. The Big Hormone Enneagram is one of the most comprehensive resourced out there on type, but I'll give a disclaimer: They are a wild and unfiltered bunch. Lots of sexual content I wish I could unhear. That said, they blow my mind every single episode. Zhuanlan (A ghetto little site that is poorly laid out, but will give you a great description of each tritype. Coming Up in episode 2: Eryn's Story. How this force of nature became the woman she is, and how the enneagram has helped her make sense of it.
