Episode description

Mario and TJ are joined by podcast co-founder and Season 1 co-host María José Munita to discuss the Enneagram Type 3, “Striving to Feel Outstanding,” through the films of Reese Witherspoon. While Reese hasn’t directed a movie yet, the three hosts explore her films in her role as an actress and producer, starting with “Legally Blonde” and “Election.”

“She was clearly competitive. And this is something I see in healthy Threes is they’re competitive, and they want to win, but they don’t care about whether or not the other person loses.” - Mario Sikora [33:55]

“And I also saw how much of a good friend she was. And that’s my experience with a lot of Threes as well, really, really good friends.” - María José Munita [35:01]

“‘Gone Girl’ explores this in way more depth, but a big theme in this movie and in a lot of movies about Threes is the emptiness of accomplishments if those accomplishments are not done coming from the heart.” - TJ Dawe [1:10:37]
