Yet another Kate (2) & Jo (8)
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.

Kate (8) & Jan (1)
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.

Jo (8) & Katie (9) Sister Symbiosis
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.

Jo (8) & Thomas (8) and why you all need more 8s in your life
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.

High energy friends Eryn (8) & Erin (7)
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.
Oct 27, 2023•49 min
Childhood Friends Eryn (8) & Julia (6)
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.

Mom & Daughter Jo (8) & Caelah (5)
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.

8s in Relationship (Season Opener)
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.

Instinct Panel: Social 8
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.
Jun 02, 2023•1 hr 14 min
Instinct Panel: Self-Preservation 8
Four Self-Preservation 8s join us for a panel episode on the Self-Preservation instinct.
May 21, 2023•1 hr 9 min
Instinct Panel: Sexual 8
What happens when you put five SX 8s on a call? This. We break the stereotypes.
May 12, 2023•1 hr 8 min
BONUS: Self-Preservation Chitchat (And other things)
An informal chitchat between Jo (SX 8) and Lamar (SP 8) about the way each others' instincts have hurt us in the past.
May 05, 2023•35 min
Lisa the Guardian SP/SO/SX
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.
Apr 28, 2023•33 min
Lamar Thinks Fences (plus a couple of acres) make Good Neighbours SP/SX/SO
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.
Apr 21, 2023•39 min
Jess Scares Little Men at the Gym SO/SP/SX
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.
Apr 14, 2023•36 min
Amanda SO/SX/SP
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.
Apr 07, 2023•59 min
Drew is looking for that one fish SX/SP/SO
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.
Mar 31, 2023•31 min
Kate is a Tapdancing Wooer SX/SO/SP
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.

Blindspot: I once was blind but now I see
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?
Mar 17, 2023•23 min
Instinct Stackings: Yup, the order matters
Just in case you didn't have enough to sort out: 9 types, 9 tritype combos, three instincts and NOW a variety of ways those instincts can mix and match with all of the above.

Instincts: Why Jo is gold digger and Eryn is a cold bee-ahtch

Eryn Thinks You Need more Boundaries for Christmas
We heard from enough of you to know that difference between a good Christmas and a terrible Christmas is the boundaries we set as 8’s. It’s counter intuitive to think 8’s don’t have good boundaries but our big hearts often get in the way…

INTERVIEW Katherine Fauvre on Tritype
No better way to wrap up our season on Tritype than with an interview with Katherine Fauvre herself.

Casey "Just Watch Me". (Tritype 873)
Casey is go go go. When she's not running triathlons or travelling, she's advocating for students and staff as a school counselor.

Stacie would rather throw up then need you (Tritype 836)
Stacie. Tritype 836. She loves a good debate, and has the chops for it, but when it comes to expressing something simple like "that hurt my feelings," she'd rather throw up.

Amanda K the Opinionated Introvert (Tritype 864)
Amanda. Tritype 864. "I go into every situation with a level of distrust. You have to earn that trust. I don’t second guess myself, but I second guess everyone else. I’m not in the group, just observing. I’ve always longed to be part of the group, but never felt part of it. And then I get cynical as to why and I go down that rabbit hole and it’s depressing."

Celeste is a Non-joiner (Tritype 847)
Celeste. Tritype 847. We wake up every morning dazzled by the day. No such thing as being bored with an 847. Between the 8s drive to do and keep moving, the 4s contentment splashing around in the deep depths of our thoughts and emotions all day long, and the 7s playful restlessness and eagerness to jump at every opportunity that presents itself, we are truly some of the most carpe diem individuals on earth.

Chelsea Will Shamu You (Tritype 853)
Chelsea. Tritype 853. Venus fly trap, the ultimate predator, whale-whisperer… The are all terms that can be used for Chelsea, and I’m pretty confident they can be applied to all 835s. Chelsea‘s friends joke that she has a way of Shamuing them— training behaviour to get the outcome she wants. Between the magnetism of the 8, the adaptable shininess of the 3, and the wealth of data points that come from five as they observe other people, these 8s draw in whoever they want to draw in (and steer clea...
