Listen "“I CAN’T BE STOPPED”: ASSERTIVENESS IN 3, 7, & 8"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to House of Enneagram, where we cast aside superficial cliches and fluffy self-help to delve into the essence of the Enneagram. Our ensemble of typologically diverse psychonauts bring fresh eyes and a multiplicity of perspectives to the unconscious forces that shape our lives and our world. We pool our talents to explore how the enneagram connects with art, psychology, inner work, media, typology, and more. If you’re ready to question your deepest answers and relentlessly pursue truth with the foremost experts, welcome to our house.Josh, Louis, and Emeka explore the assertive perspective of Enneagram types 3, 7, & 8. What does it mean to move through the world like nothing can stop you—and what’s the cost? We get into the addictive high of momentum, the insatiable desire to expand, and the (not-so-)subtle ways assertive types activate themselves and stay in “go mode.”If you’re watching this on YouTube, please like and subscribe.
