Join Jeff and TJ as they explore 10 essential questions to help you assess your inner life, reflect on your emotional patterns, and uncover the “thing under the thing” that shapes how you navigate the world. Whether you're just starting with the Enneagram or coming back to it for a fresh perspective, this episode will inspire you to ask, reflect, and grow.

What are repressed centers, and why do they matter?
How to identify your repressed center and the role it plays in shaping your personality.
Practical ways to work with your repressed center to achieve greater balance and fulfillment.

Healing and the many different faces of loss:
"Humility becomes very helpful when I take the back seat and become a witness."
"Anger is an incredible protector; it’s full of wisdom that says, 'Something is wrong here.'"
"Feelings are the language of emotions, while sensations are what we experience in our body where emotions begin."
"Grief is just the other side of the coin of love."
"Our culture treats grief as an enemy, minimizing it to keep productivity alive."

In this episode, we break down each of these centers with simple analogies and relatable examples, making it easy to see where you might fit. Whether you’re looking to understand yourself better or connect more deeply with the people in your life, this intro to the Enneagram opens up a new way of seeing yourself and others.

30 years ago two of America’s great films were released on the same day.
Neither the Shawshank Redemption nor Pulp Fiction won the Academy award for best picture, but they commonly top lists of the most beloved films of this generation.
We are picking up the second of the two in our double feature. Pulp Fiction is a redemptive story of profane, deeply flawed human beings. It is a perfectly constructed, very adult film with rich characters worth talking about.
With that, we dive into arguably the most celebrated piece of art made in the 1990’s Quinton Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.

On October 14, 1994, two of the greatest American films were released.
The Shawshank Redemption, an adaptation of Stephen King's novella, was the directorial debut of Frank Darabont. Though it opened in only 33 theaters and won no Academy Awards, it now holds the #1 spot on IMDb’s list of the greatest films of all time. In 2020, TJ and I wrapped our Enneagram and Villainy series with a deep dive into this timeless classic, exploring the story’s primary antagonist, Warden Norton, through the lens of an Enneagram Nine.
The second film, Pulp Fiction, was the highly anticipated follow-up from Quentin Tarantino. Regularly ranked alongside Shawshank as one of the most important films since the 1970s, Pulp Fiction is a dark, ensemble piece filled with characters in desperate need of redemption.
In celebration of the 30th anniversary of these iconic films, we’re excited to present a double feature. First up, our recut deep dive into The Shawshank Redemption. You can also explore our Enneagram villain series on our sister podcast feed, Movie Typing, linked in the show notes. Whether you’re curious about villainous Nines, Fours, or Sevens, it’s well worth a listen.
Next week, we'll release our treatment of Pulp Fiction, focusing on the inner lives of Enneagram Fives, Eights, Fours, Sixes, and Ones.
