Knowing something needs to change doesn't necessarily mean knowing what kind of support you need.

Coaching, therapy, online coaching platforms, and self-guided apps can all be useful, but they're designed to do different things.

I created this comparison to make some of those distinctions easier to see, including where my own 1:1 coaching fits.

The question isn't which option is best. It's which one is right for you, right now.

Enneagram 3s, 6s, and 9s: Registration is now open! 3️⃣6️⃣9️⃣

Sarina Sherring and I are opening The Pragmatists, a six-week Zoom group coaching experience specifically for Types 3, 6, and 9.

We’ll explore what you naturally create in relationships, what you’re looking for in return, and what happens when those needs aren’t being met. We’ll also look at the lines that connect 3, 6, and 9 and how these patterns show up in your relationships, work, family, and everyday life.

This won’t be six weeks of Enneagram lecture. It’ll be teaching, conversation, reflection, and group coaching with people whose patterns have some really interesting things in common with yours.

6 live Zoom sessions | 75 minutes each

October 13–November 17 at 7 PM Eastern
October 14–November 18 at 9 AM AEST
$225 USD | $319 AUD

Group size will be limited. If you’re a 3, 6, or 9 and this sounds like your next place to grow, you can read all the details and register here:

No matter how old you are, what your starting point, or what your family story is, you can choose differently. Starting today.

This is one of the reasons I work with Core Values in coaching.

Core Values aren't just nice-sounding words we choose because we'd like to think they describe us. They're personal, meaningful, and actionable. They communicate what matters most to us and give us a North Star when we're trying to decide what to do next.

When I know what I value, I have something to measure a decision against: Does this choice move me toward what matters to me, or away from it?

That doesn't mean the decision will always be easy. But it can make it a lot clearer.

And it can save us from the regret hangover that comes after an impulsive or reactive decision leaves us thinking, Why did I say yes to that? Why did I do that? That's not even what I wanted.

The more our choices align with what we value, the more our lives begin to reflect what actually matters to us.

Enneagram 3s, 6s, and 9s: This One's For You 3️⃣6️⃣9️⃣

If you relate most to Types 3, 6, or 9, relationships are something you build, tend, and orient your effort toward. 3s add value, 6s create safety, and 9s restore harmony—and you long for your closest relationships to mirror these qualities back to you.

I'm partnering with Sarina Sherring of Coaching to open a small group coaching cohort for Enneagram 3s, 6s, and 9s. We'll meet for six sessions, working from an Object Relations lens alongside the lines of growth and stress that connect these three types, to explore how you attach and how to stay present in relationships, even (and especially) when it's challenging.

Sarina is based in Australia, so we've kept both time zones in mind. Sessions will be scheduled to suit AU (AEST) and US participants alike.

If that's landed somewhere true for you and you'd like to join this sweet little cohort, I'd love to know. Comment below or DM me to express your interest.

**And if you're not a 3, 6, or 9, but want to stay in a group cohort for your particular type, let me know that too and I'll keep you on the short list.

Hear me out: You don’t need a life over makeover, you need a reintroduction to yourself.

Along the way of our busy and full lives, we end up falling into familiar patterns, roles, and responsibilities.

Maybe your life looks good on paper, but you’ve noticed a shift. You are feeling restless. Maybe you’ve noticed that somewhere along the way, you’ve started going through the motions instead of asking yourself what you really want, now.

Over time, we end up feeling a little more disconnected, from others and even from ourselves, with a nagging sense that something isn’t quite right. But we dismiss it by saying, “That’s just how it is.”

We don’t recognize that we’re losing touch with who we are outside of what everyone needs from us.

But you don’t need to reinvent yourself. You need to remember yourself.

What matters to you now?
What do you want more of?
What are you ready to leave behind?

That’s the reintroduction. And it can change the way you experience the life you already have.

Sometimes finding your way forward starts with finding your way back to yourself. 💫

I've spent enough years listening to my own brain to know that it does not always deserve the microphone. 😂

Learning to change my self-talk hasn't been about telling myself that I'm fabulous every minute of every day. It's been much more practical than that: noticing what I'm saying, questioning what I automatically believe, and refusing to participate in my own takedown.

And yes, the bonus tip about photographs comes straight from my own life. That one has completely changed the way I look at pictures of myself.

This is also a little glimpse into how I coach, too: practical tools, real life, small shifts that add up.

➡️ Swipe through for 5 ideas you can try, plus a bonus.

Want some support making these kinds of shifts? DM me to start the conversation.

Come on in. Let's journey together.

I know you struggle to put yourself first.

I know it's hard to spend money on yourself. I know you spend your days caring for others, managing the household, worrying about finances, and making sure everyone else is okay.

Your care, attentiveness, and love for the people in your life are beautiful qualities. But you can only neglect yourself for so long before something starts asking for your attention.

It's like putting out a fire in your neighbor's garage while your own house is burning. When you're finished fighting for them, what is there to come home to?

That's why you're exhausted. It's why you feel like you're constantly chasing your own tail. It's why you can never quite seem to catch up.

Coming home to yourself changes that.

The more grounded you become in who you are, what you value, and what matters most, the more freely you can say yes... and no. Not because you're trying to please someone. Not because you're afraid of disappointing them. But because your answer is honest.

I've had to learn that myself. It's also why I love the work I do.

If you want to have a no-strings conversation around this, catch up with me in my DMs. I promise I won't hit you with a sales pitch; I genuinely care about walking women through this process. Bring your questions. Bring your objections. Bring your stories.

Imagine me opening my front door to you, handing you a steaming mug of coffee and a throw blanket.

"Come on in. Let's sit together for awhile. Tell me your story. I have all day."

I've said it before. It's worth the repeat.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

Don't take it personally.

Don't
Take
It
Personally.

It's not personal. Even if they make it personal, it's not personal.

It's not about you.
It's about them.

They see it from their perspective.
It's always about them.

No, go rest your mind. Breathe. Take a bath, take a walk, take a break.
Be at peace.

This is not yours to carry.
