Episode 49: Enneagram Type 8

It’s been a WEEK. Anxious feelings have been hanging around me as a response to all the uncertainty and lack of leadership. I’ve been using all my tools to help me feel better:

• deeply listening to my intuition about my health
• sitting in the discomfort of disappointing people
• canceling nonessential in person plans
• Moving essential meetings to tech platforms I haven’t ever used before thus leaving me feel not confident
• making sure I have necessary medication to manage my health conditions
• going to bed early
• eating all the fruits and vegetables
• and of course washing my hands and trying to not touch my face. (Why is that so hard?!?)

In other words, I am practicing the hard parts of self-care for me. How are you feeling? Can I support you? Please join us in the 100% Guilt-Free Self-Care Facebook group. I am going live with self-care and kid wrangling tips Monday-Friday at 12:30 Pacific time. <sub>On this week’s show Holly and I uncover the good, the bad and the ugly for the Enneagram Type Eight - The Challenger. This is a type with a presence and a purpose. Strong and confident. Some use their power for good, others for evil. As always, we talk about the self-care practices which are specific to the Eights of the world to keep them in the healthy realm.
