TYPE. NOTICE. GROW.
Welcome to That Typewriter: Enneagram for for real life
Here you will not get fluffy one line type blurbs. I write about the Enneagram the way it actually shows up in real people and real relationships. Explore the guides, stories, and opinions and see what actually lands for you.
Learn the 9 core types
A simple introduction to the Enneagram. Start with the basics and get to know each of the 9 types, their core fears, motivations, and patterns. Great if you are new to the Enneagram and want an easy overview before diving deeper into wings, subtypes, and stress lines.
Enneagram in Relationships
How types collide, attach, and annoy each other in friendships, family, and romance. I write about pairings, intimacy instincts, and the little things that go unsaid but still shape the whole relationship.
Enneagram in the world
Pop culture, work, money, parenting, and public stories, alongside deeper dives into subtypes, stress levels, and mistypes. I look at how these patterns actually play out in people, not just in theory. It is the practical side of the Enneagram, grounded in real world behavior.

My Space to Make Sense of the Enneagram
Hi, I’m Myka. I write here because I am completely obsessed with the Enneagram and how it shows up in real friendships, real relationships, and all in between. I am an intimacy Type 2 with a 3 wing, so connection has always been the centre of my world.
The Enneagram feels like a language to me, something instinctive, almost like I’ve always known the patterns underneath people but never had the words for them until now. Once I finally understood my own type, everything clicked. All those moments of “why am I like this” suddenly made sense.
This blog became my outlet for all of that. I wanted a place to write with nuance and honesty, from lived experience. A place where I could take everything I notice about types, wings, instincts, dynamics, and actually give it a home. If you like the Enneagram explained in a way that is warm, deep, and rooted in real life, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you found your way here.
