Did you do your homework yet? If you want to get the most of episode 25 and 26, here it is again: Back in episode 7, Jo shared her enneagram manifesto. It was based in large part on the work of Dr. Jerome Lubbe, and his work mapping the enneagram onto the brain. It was a short episode, and we recommend going back to give it a listen. Next, we really recommend taking the Riso Hudson test and lookin...

We're going to give you a bunch of homework before you press play. Trust us. It'll be worth it. Back in episode 7, Jo shared her enneagram manifesto.

Shadow Layer #4: Moving towards is baked right into our brains. We use the part of our brain that deals with fight response, immediacy, reactivity. We are willing to DO fight. In fact, we are compelled to do fight in order to survive. Engaging and moving towards a threat feels safer than waiting for it to come find us and take us by surprise. RESOURCES: Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe - The Patient Doctor ( d...

Eight Health #1: Jim is the co-founder of The Art of Growth, and co-hosts an enneagram panels podcast also called The Art of Growth. 4:00: Forced transformational moments. "I did not do it on purpose... I wouldn't have gone here willingly. It had to be forced on me." 7:30: Eight denial. "The starting point isn't to crack it all open, but to know it's safe to do so." 11:10 Betrayal. "It's such a vi...

Shadow Layer #3: This might be the deepest darkest pit we fall into. We think it's because it feels so so good to go where our body leads us. But, just like a fire on a dry day... if we aren't careful, we'll burn the forest down.

Shadow Layer #2: This tough act is one of the most quintessentially 8 things. However we define strength, it plays a big role in how 8s orient themselves to the world. While we don't think strength is just an ego construct, but a tangible offering we bring to the world, problems crop up when we treat humanity like a giant boxing match (in which we always come out with the title belt). What if, rat...

Shadow Layer #1: And so we begin a long foray into the habits 8s fall into that keep them firmly settled into the heart of their personality. We can get by in life staying right there in the middle, but that isn't growth. That's staying stuck. Self Sufficiency is the allergic reaction we 8s have to being needy. We've worked hard to stand firmly on our own two feet, using a bunch of confirmation bi...

Our shadow side is like black mold... It's growing unseen in the walls, and slowly killing us. This episode is a discussion about what an 8 shadow might look like based on your wing, your subtype, and on the health levels 4 through 9, as developed and described by Don Riso.

You're afraid of something. Keep telling yourself you're not, and I'll keep calling you a liar. As 8s, we spend a lot of time killing our fears dead, and denying the ones we can't kill. That's not very helpful. There's something about bringing a thing to light that makes it lose it's power. So... What are you afraid of?

So many experts with so much to say about the childhood wounds that made us, but... It takes an 8 to know an 8, so we'll pick apart some quotes and see what we come up with.

We've all heard the saying about life throwing you lemons... Well, when life threw us Eights lemons, we did NOT make lemonade. We made barricades-- some of us made really thick ones. The making of an Eight is not really a mysterious thing once you understand how our brains work. In this episode it's really clear that two little Eight girls with different childhoods both manage to mostly end up in...

"If I wanted to change something, why would I wait for January 1st?" This seems to be the sentiment among most of us 8s. We're up for a great party, and time well spent with friends, family & good food. But, resolutions? Nah. A new me? No thanks. Happy New Year to all of you, and happy every-other-day too!

Here's what YOU all had to say about Christmas. It was such a pleasure to put this one together. It turns out 8s even have a speech pattern: A slow, easy cadence.

When we asked you what you wanted to talk about for our holiday episode, the answer was RELATIONSHIPS. It seems 8s have complicated feelings about the holidays. This has everything to do with the usual interplay of our intensely relational, but autonomous selves and the people around us who don't think like we do. We answered all your questions from our vantage point, and while it might not offer...

Before we launch into a discussion about childhood wounds & 8s, we think it's important to introduce an intriguing theory called Object Relations. It suggests that we formed our type structure (in all its quirky glory) in relationship to the ways our caregivers failed to provide either the Nurture or Protection function. We explore yet another set of triads: Frustration, Attachment and Rejecti...

We've gotten pretty tired of our egos. A lot of those "I ams" we've been telling ourselves don't really fit anymore. So, we're rewriting the narrative about who we really are one "I am" at a time.
