This Organized Life

Hi Friends! Today on TOL I sat down with fellow Enneagram 8, Abi Robins. Abi is a trained Enneagram Teacher & Yoga Therapist in Austin, TX. Abi is the author of the book, The Conscious Enneagram. I invited Abi on the show to talk about all things Enneagram 8-otherwise known as The Challenger. Of all 9 types, Eights are one of the most misunderstood numbers on the Enneagram. We can be seen as bossy, intimidating, or b*&chy when in reality, a healthy 8 is a leader, crusader for social justice, and champion of the underdog.During our conversation Abi shares what it’s like to be Queer & Non-Binary as an Enneagram 8, the value of authenticity as eight, and the role of intensity within the eights.Abi talks about their first introduction to the Enneagram, how quickly it took to identify their type, and how they have incorporated Enneagram wisdom into their teachings.Although Abi and I are both 8’s on the Enneagram and have many similarities, I found it fascinating to see the differences in our sub-types
