“How do the three Type 9 subtypes each seek peace in their own way?” In this episode, Jesse and Lindsey explore the unique world of Type 9 subtypes—those peacemakers who seek harmony in all aspects of life. They’re joined by Beth McCord, founder of Your Enneagram Coach and a Type 9 herself, who shares how understanding the Enneagram helped her find her voice as a wife, mother, and business owner. Beth opens up about the challenges of merging with others and how she’s learned to embrace her true self while fostering peace and connection. She talks about the delicate balance between nurturing harmony and losing oneself in the process, and how her experiences in marriage and motherhood have shaped her journey. Beth also delves into the three Type 9 subtypes—Self-Preservation, Seeking, and Social—and how they manifest in her own life, as well as offering wisdom for Type 9s who are striving to find their balance. The episode wraps up with a fun game of Your Worst Nightmare, where Beth faces her fears—several of which include creepy creatures with wings! https://relatebetter.com/131-the-type-9-subtypes-w-beth-mccord/

“How can Type 8s embrace vulnerability while maintaining their strength?” In this episode, Jesse and Lindsey dive into the world of Type 8 subtypes, exploring how each subtype’s unique instincts shape the way Type 8s connect with others. They are joined by Meredith Boggs, a Type 8, emergency nurse, and author, who shares her personal journey of navigating the balance between power and vulnerability. Meredith opens up about how her need for control, shaped by childhood experiences, once defined her relationships and leadership. She explains how motherhood and life experiences shifted her approach, allowing her to step into greater vulnerability and empathy, which she now sees as strengths. The episode wraps up with a hilariously intense round of Pick Your Poison, where Meredith faces a tough choice—what would she do if she found herself in a shark attack? Let’s just say the shark might want to be more worried about her than she is about it. Tune in for this wild and revealing moment! https://relatebetter.com/130-the-type-8-subtypes-w-meredith-boggs/

In this episode, Jesse and Lindsey tackle the subtypes of Type 6s—the loyal skeptics who are always scanning for potential pitfalls. Joining them is Enneagram coach and seasoned pastor Adam Breckenridge, who brings 17 years of pastoral experience and deep insights into what makes a Type 6 tick. Adam shares why courage for a Type 6 isn’t the absence of fear but rather the choice to move forward in its presence. He opens up about his younger years spent trying to conquer fear by charging headfirst into the things that scared him most and explains why he doesn’t believe 6s are always the most anxious people in the room. The episode wraps up with a side-splitting round of Your Worst Nightmare, where Jesse and Lindsey make Adam choose between impossible scenarios. Things get hilarious as Adam talks about why he doesn’t trust mimes.
