Together, they unpack how anger shows up differently across the gut center and how each type develops protective strategies to maintain control, peace, or perfection.This conversation moves beyond stereotypes to examine the deeper motivations beneath these patterns and the cost of living disconnected from the body, truth, and vulnerability.You’ll hear reflections on:Why anger is often misunderstood in the gut centerThe hidden narratives driving Types 8, 9, and 1How control, avoidance, and perfectionism form as survival strategiesThe relationship between embodiment and authentic leadershipWhat begins to change when instinctive types soften their defensesHow grounded leadership emerges through honesty, presence, and integrationThis episode is both deeply practical and deeply human — an invitation to understand yourself and others with more compassion and awarenessConnect With Ro Elliott: https://www.thebrokenandbeautiful.com/remote-collective/ro-elliottResources & Announcements:Coming Home to Yourself — June Virtual WorkshopPatria is hosting a live virtual workshop, Coming Home to Yourself: A Journey Into Secure Belonging, on June 13, 2026.
