Family Savvy’s Jamie Tarence Shares What It’s Like Inside the Head of an Enneagram 8
This week on The SavvyCast, Jordan Jones returns to break down the Enneagram 8.
Episode At A Glance:
This week, Enneagram expert Jordan Jones is back for part three of our Enneagram series! In previous episodes, Jordan explains how the Enneagram is comprised of nine “types,” and how to identify which type you are. Jordan believes that the best way for people to learn about the Enneagram types is to hear from that type themselves, so he interviews me to break down the “type 8” and shine a light on how this type thinks, acts, and feels. This interview highlights how the Enneagram can be a phenomenal tool to better understand others, especially our family members! In this episode, you will get a “peek” into my brain as Jordan and I discuss the common traits of a type 8, how the Enneagram has been a useful tool in my life, and so much more!
