The Enneagram 8 Podcast

Carolyn. Tritype unknown (because it's COMPLICATED). She’s an adoptive mom that said yes to all the hard things that go along with that, and found a way to turn Jello into the perfect analogy for how 8s offer safety and help to the ones who need it most.

Tereza. Tritype 846. Triple reactive and about as intense as they come, this is the tritype that gets thrown the most shade. More than any other 8s, they SAY THE THING. They are always tracking inconsistencies and falseness around them, and when they spot it they let us all know. This makes a a lot of people A LOT of uncomfortable. But, sometimes a thing just has to be said, and Tereza will say it! Including this: "Lions aren't brave. It's not true. They have teeth and claws. They can kill things easily. But, Guinea pigs..."

Ashley. Tritype 827. She is the blazing sun that shines upon the comic book reader and fiction superfan. Check her out in all the places: She writes for: https://fangirlish.com/author/nerdyblogging/ and https://sci-fi-5.libsyn.com/ Podcast Cohost on: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dearly-debated/id1517213655

Heather. Tritype 835. Known as the quickest problem solvers, but the least in touch with their feelings.

Heather’s Bio: Growing up, I spent most of my time in the 5 zone. However, I did learn early that people didn't want me to be "part of the group", so I chose early not to "fit in" and pursue my own interests. I'm a moderate jack of most trades. I'm not really great at one thing, but I am eager to explore all options or challenges. // ISTP - "like sticking jello to a wall". Not only do I not like to conform, I enjoy several different single sports [ultra-running, yoga, cross country, singles tennis]. I thought this was mainly because of my introvert side, but it could also likely be I prefer to match my own energy. I get frustrated and confused when people can't keep up with my energy. Even when I don't think I can find any, I force it to happen, so I can fulfill my 7 wing of adventure. // Protector in social work, helping people advocate for themselves. In each chance I get I teach them to "fish", so that they can more independent and learn to fight on their own eventually. I hold a conflict resolution certificate and am a certified mediator, volunteering with local courts. This is where and how I discovered the enneagram. // Faults. I stir the pot, even after I'm told not to stir the pot. Learning when not to with loved ones, but I still "die" on several hills because I'm stubborn. I'm growing drastically and interested in continuing on this path towards a healthier me in a 2 by listening to this awesome podcast and others recommended. . I will fight for those I love any day without rest! 💙

Sam. Tritype 826-- no wait, 846. This is an example of how it takes time and work to figure out your tritype. When we first interviewed Samantha, she attributed her drive to help people to 2, But her knack (and affinity) for identifying and expressing her own needs and feelings gives her a 4 feel. It's ok to try on tritype for awhile before you find home. But keep digging. It's worth it.

Tess. Tritype 845. And she pretty much lives to tear society's sacred things into their smallest parts and poke at them. That's what happens when the 4 and 5 play with the 8. Known as the darkest, most contradictory and perplexing tritype. Tess was a fascinating interview. Note: I reference one of the co-hosts of "The Big Hormone Enneagram" because he is of the same tritype.

Lauv. Tritype 847. Like the rest of us in this tritype, she's a deep well of deep depths with a lot to say and plenty of quirks, such as crying over mushrooms and being allergic to the cold. Literally. Lauv's instagram account: Redamanxia: Vegan recipes in her "Taste" highlight

Jess. Tritype 873. Eryn's tritype twin. After having listened in on these two, I'm beginning to think this combo creates a high likeability factor. Also, max efficiency.

Sarah. Tritype 852. If Keri was a shot of caffeine, Sarah is a warm ginger tea. Both 8's, both grounded like ancient stone, but with wildly different ways of showing it. Sarah watches and waits and SEES more than most. And then she speaks life..

Keri. Tritype 872. This girl has the nuclear power of the sun inside her. She also has the kind of heart that ships us hand-knit hats when we're sad. We love you, Keri girl.
