Today we are chatting with the Enneagram queen herself, Ashton! Ashton is an influencer, business owner, author, wife, mama, and more. She started her account, Enneagram Ashton, in 2019 and has grown to almost 600k followers. Ashton is an expert on the Enneagram and dives into how she uses it to help others and has created a successful full-time business through her knowledge and experience. She talks about how she was able to grow her account, walking into Motherhood while running a business, and what it has been like each time she has gone “viral” (which is a lot!). 

Ashton was so much fun to talk with and we learned so much during our time with her!
