Full show notes: 

Em updates about the sad events and people she lost in her family this summer. She talks about how she went into “over functioning mode” during this time and trying to control others’ decisions. They talk about how her 4th Myers-Briggs function (Efficient Thinking) was taking over as a stress response.

Sandra updates that in the big picture things are going great for her family but that the circumstances of the summer have led to her feeling worn out and anxious. They talk about Enneagram 1’s striving for perfection and how they both need to give themselves more self-compassion.
