Season One Wrap | With Jeff Cook
<p>As we close out Season One of Inside Story, Kristin Messegee and Jeff Cook reflect on what they’ve learned—and where the Enneagram needs to go next.</p><p>This conversation moves beyond theory into practice. What actually changes us? Why do we avoid our core emotions—anger, shame, and fear—and what does it take to face them? Across the triads, patterns emerge: image types struggle to access shame, body types resist seeing their impact, and head types find subtle ways to avoid anxiety altogether.</p>

Enneagram 8 | Joey Schewee | Part II
<p>In this exchange, Kristin and Joey explore how differently the types move through the world—especially around communication, authority, affirmation, and intensity. They also examine crisis strengths, autonomy, vulnerability, and the common mistyping of bold people.</p><p>The discussion broadens into themes of parenting, growth, and self-awareness. Joey reflects on raising children with an understanding of stance and wiring, while Kristin speaks candidly about discovering her own fear and authority patterns later in life. Together, they emphasize that the Enneagram doesn’t change hardwiring—but it can transform how we relate, how we repair, and how we take responsibility for the impact we have on others.</p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Inside Story episode (Apple): <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-story-enneagram-8-joey-schewee-part-i/id1466446583?i=1000751009872" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p>Kristin Messegee's Coaching: <a href="https://www.kristinmessegee.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p>All Joey Schewee's work at WE Solutions: <a href="https://wesolutions.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p>Joey's Upcoming book: "When Working Together Doesn't Work" : <a href="https://www.amazon.com/When-Working-Together-Doesnt-Work/dp/151401162X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=OPS36703XD4K&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yOjWQmmhKAdLF9_27tOFnd65OeV6RZSjHHiCFOtUO_J9hLQIViy-MlCZwVbMxQQF.IDPBwbPGHhOXY80hxUIiv3CRuEjGOfPtT5kcBSR0VTU&dib_tag=se&keywords=schewee&qid=1772366201&sprefix=schewe%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a></p>

Enneagram 8 | Joey Schewee | Part I
<p>Coaching for Enneagram Sixes with Kristin : <a href="https://www.kristinmessegee.com/uninhibited" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p>Pick up Joey Schewee's new book : <a href="https://www.amazon.com/When-Working-Together-Doesnt-Work/dp/151401162X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=S3KFR11T1Y2Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zWzsB3TZq2EOWXgLt9695k4eHg6zMgKifcRm0dVDDWk1JdRIoyXknoPFuRz7VNNfk5kU3IHoEfT4NqAgkV-BqGrhY8w_MywYNjYrrPHhTI8.C9cu1FDSHbwBOzOE0I87BwbEXq-_ou7DCp4pyII911c&dib_tag=se&keywords=when+working+together+doesn%27t+work&qid=1771849484&sprefix=when+working%2Caps%2C300&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p>___</p><p>On this episode of Inside Story, host Kristin Messegee sits down with Enneagram teacher and workplace consultant Joey Schewee for a candid, surprisingly personal conversation about what it’s actually like to live inside Type Eight.</p><p>Joey opens with her upcoming book, When Working Together Doesn’t Work—a guide born from 17 years of consulting and leading teams—and then Kristen pivots into the heart of the episode: Eight confidence, intensity, and the misunderstood inner world beneath the “big presence.” Joey challenges common stereotypes (and mistypes), reframes Eight “reactivity” as fast-moving anger that clears quickly, and names the real fuel behind Eight conflict: injustice, low effort, and compromised integrity.</p><p>Together they explore the push-pull between autonomy and connection, why Eights often feel uncomfortable when attention turns toward them, and how “wanting” energy from others can feel intrusive—especially when it isn’t grounded in authenticity. Joey also shares what changed after facing something she couldn’t control, how anger can cover tenderness, and why gut types may be the most intuitive in the system.</p><p>Again, Joey’s book When Working Together Doesn’t Work is available for pre-order now on Amazon and releases in March, and you can get it : <a href="https://www.amazon.com/When-Working-Together-Doesnt-Work/dp/151401162X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=S3KFR11T1Y2Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zWzsB3TZq2EOWXgLt9695k4eHg6zMgKifcRm0dVDDWk1JdRIoyXknoPFuRz7VNNfk5kU3IHoEfT4NqAgkV-BqGrhY8w_MywYNjYrrPHhTI8.C9cu1FDSHbwBOzOE0I87BwbEXq-_ou7DCp4pyII911c&dib_tag=se&keywords=when+working+together+doesn%27t+work&qid=1771849484&sprefix=when+working%2Caps%2C300&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a> .</p>
