Reader,
Here’s what you’ll find in this email:
1 – About With you,
2 – Registration info for free monthly check-ins (bonus access for past coaching clients, Alumni.)
While contemplating my mid-year check-in, a couple of ideas came up around how I want to move forward in the second half of the year.
One of those changes is building in more rhythm and ongoing support for those of you who’ve done one-on-one coaching with me. But to explain why, I want to start with something small but significant to me: how I sign off.
1 | Why I Sign Off “With You”
In 2024, I was listening to a Carey Nieuwhof podcast (I can’t recall the exact episode), and his guest said something that stuck with me. He talked about how kids don’t want youth pastors doing things to them or for them—they want someone who’s genuinely with them.
That will preach.
But then it hit me: when I started coaching, I was probably coaching more for you than with you. Over time, that’s changed.
Why “with you”?
Because—like you—I’m always learning, growing, and wrestling through all the Enneagram things. There’s no report card saying I’ve graduated from my Enneagram journey. The evidence of change usually shows up in real life: when I encounter circumstances and notice that I’m showing up differently—or that I’m simply aware of the feeling in my body I’m trying to mask or override.
Recently, I changed my tagline (again). Although it still doesn’t feel quite right, here’s where it landed:
Your Guide to the Enneagram
Coaching for clarity. Space for change. Support for lasting growth.
That last line—support for lasting growth—sounded pretty good. But it also made me pause: Am I really offering that?
In a recent coaching call, I found myself saying again: just because I’m an Enneagram coach doesn’t mean I have it all figured out. I’m simply someone on the journey—our paths have just converged for a season. I’m not really ahead of you. I’m with you.
That’s why I’m starting monthly Alum Check-Ins for 9 Lumens coaching clients.
2 | Bonus Work for 9 Lumens Alum: Monthly Check-Ins
My husband and I attended a marriage intensive at Onsite in 2019, and recently they started offering monthly check-ins (for a small fee) as a way to stay connected to the work, the language, and the rhythm of reflection. I knew immediately—that’s the kind of “with you” I want to offer.
These new monthly coaching-based reflection sessions are a way for you to stay connected to the work you’ve already done. If you’ve completed a full one-on-one Enneagram Coaching package with me (excluding Workshops or Typing sessions), you now have ongoing access to these sessions—at no extra cost. But registration is required so that Paperbell will send you all the reminders and links.
For now, I’ve scheduled these for the second Friday of the month at 9:00 AM PT from July through October. (I haven’t scheduled November yet—we’re expecting our first grandbaby then!)
📩 To join the calls, reply to this email, and I will send you the link to register
🗓 Our first session will be Friday, July 11 at 9:00 AM PT, where we’ll walk through the Mid-Year Reflection Guide I shared in this week’s email. You can download it here:
I'm so grateful that I get to be....
p.s. the links in the last email didn't work. Here are all the ways to work with me in one place.
