    Friends of Fives: What's it Like to Be Lifelong Friends with an Enneagram 5?

    Fives often feel like outsiders, but what if the group we’ve always longed for already exists? In this episode, we invite two longtime friends to join us for a candid conversation about what it’s really like to be friends with a Five. From hilarious stories to hard truths, we explore the highs and lows of maintaining deep, long-term friendships—especially when you tend to live in your head. We reflect on shared histories, missed connections, and the emotional work required to sustain meaningf...

    [LIVE] Do Fives Secretly Want to Be Seen?

    In this live episode, we explore a surprising tension many Fives feel: the deep desire to be known and understood, and the equally strong instinct to hide. We unpack what’s really behind our aversion to vulnerability, how our subtypes shape this dynamic, and what it takes to show up even when we’d rather stay in our heads. We also check in on how we’re actually doing, share what we’ve been researching lately (spoiler: lots of ChatGPT experiments), and talk about our current areas of growth. P...

    Friendship: Why is it Hard to Make Friends as an Enneagram 5?

    Fives pride ourselves on independence, but friendship requires letting people in. In this honest and deeply personal episode, we explore what friendship means to us as Fives—and why it’s so complicated. We share stories of how our personalities have made friendship harder, how we’ve grown to value it more, and the unexpected ways we’re learning to show up more authentically and connect more deeply. From childhood loneliness to cold plunges and community-building, we dive into the vulnerabilit...

    After Thoughts: Intuition

    This is an After Thoughts episode, an unstructured, unedited debrief of everything we didn't say in the last episode—this time unpacking our conversation on intuition. And boy, does this one take some turns... We get into how our Five wings shape the way we approach intuition, with Josiah leaning more into the mystical side while Cody stays grounded in practicality. That leads us into a discussion on how our worldviews have shifted over time, especially in relation to religion, belief, ...

    Intuition: Can You Trust Your Gut as an Enneagram 5?

    Fives rely on analysis and clarity, but intuition offers something logic can't: a deeper wisdom that defies explanation. In this episode, we explore what intuition is, why Fives struggle to trust it, and how embracing it can positively influence our lives. We share our personal experiences with intuition, examine how it's different from emotional decision-making, and discuss unconventional theories that stretch our understanding of time and consciousness. We also dive into the tension between...

    [LIVE] Can Enneagram 5s be Expressive and Outgoing?

    Can Fives really be expressive and outgoing? The stereotype says no—but we’re here to challenge that idea. In this episode, we unpack the myth that Fives are always quiet, reserved, and withdrawn, and we share our own experiences of learning to express ourselves in the world. Plus, we introduce a new structure for our live episodes, featuring a mix of community engagement, deep dives, and a little bit of fun. We also announce huge changes to the podcast, including moving to a weekly for...

    Anxiety: How Do We Handle Feeling Anxious as an Enneagram 5?

    Fives value logic and control, but anxiety challenges both. In this episode, we explore how Fives experience anxiety, why we often rationalize instead of feeling it, and how avoiding it can make things worse. We share personal stories, unexpected ways anxiety manifests in the body, and strategies that have helped us manage it—including some unconventional ones. We also dive into the tension between self-reliance and vulnerability, the impact of anxiety on relationships, and the surprisi...
