Jeff sits down with grief expert and Enneagram guide Mandy Capehart to unpack what national grief really feels like — not just personal sorrow, but the deep cultural distress many Americans carry today.

Together they explore the emotional impact of polarized culture, lost shared reality, and fear-driven responses in our relationships and communities. Mandy offers insight into how regulation, one-on-one connection, and lived values can help us navigate overwhelm and reclaim humanity in a fractured world.

If you’ve felt disillusioned, scared, or unsure how to engage with big problems without burning out, this episode invites you into deeper awareness, compassionate action, and hope rooted in connection — not just outrage.

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.

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.

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.

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 : HERE .
