You know how I feel about Enneagram 7s.

That’s because as much as I loved my daughter, I didn’t understand anything about how she operated.
I wanted to understand her instead of making her into a mini me so that she could be her very best self.

My client Monique is a wife, mother, business owner, and a fireball. 9 months ago when I met her I could hear the restlessness in her voice.

Now she’s learned how to be true to herself while finding a harmonious flow.
