Summary

In this episode of Enneagram and Coffee, we continue our Shadow Work series with a deep dive into Enneagram Type Eight—the Challenger. We explore the often-hidden struggles of emotional repression, control, and fear of vulnerability, and how these patterns shape daily life. Through thoughtful reflection and practical shadow work practices, we’ll uncover how Eights can begin to soften, trust, and reconnect with their emotional world without losing their powerful presence. If you’ve ever felt like strength means going it alone, this episode is for you. Grab your coffee, and let’s get into it!
