Hello there, and welcome back to the Mountain Practice Journeys podcast! I’m your host, Cindy Norton. Here in Episode 18 I’m going to chat with Hanna Woody & Monica LeBlanc of Empowered Enneagram. We’ll be talking about how your enneagram type can help & hinder the growth of your private practice.

Let’s get started.

Have you been wanting to start your private practice, but you can’t seem to take that first step? Maybe you’re afraid of failure or lack confidence, or maybe the idea of running your own practice is overwhelming. I’m Cindy Norton, owner of Mountain Practice Journeys and I help therapists and counselors to love the business side of private practice. I’ll share with you practical skills and advice along with a healthy dose of inspiration so that you can be on your way to the practice of your dreams. Put on your hiking boots, and let’s get going.

If you haven’t yet listened to Episode 17, I urge you to do that. In that episode I talk about how to grow your social media following with authenticity.

Now let’s get on to the interview with Hanna and Monica of Empowered Enneagram.


[Interview with Hanna & Monica of Empowered Enneagram]


During each episode I’ll be giving you one small take away, action step, or mindset shift. I call these acorns. Listen to episode 0 to get the scoop on what the acorns are all about.

The acorn from this episode is to take one small action in your life or your business that relates to the advice that Hanna and Monica gave during this episode. If you know your Enneagram type then you have your action laid out for you. If you don’t yet know your type I ask you to choose one piece of advice from any of the numbers that resonates the most for you and take action. Who knows, whatever piece of advice feels most challenging to you may be a clue to your type.

As I outlined in episode 0, I’ll be alternating between a fun fact and ‘what I’m digging’ segment with each new episode.

The fun fact for this episode is that I was in graduate school for 6 years. During the last fun fact, I mentioned that I was a Capricorn, and this dedication and persistence shows up in many areas of my life. I attended a Marriage & Family Therapy graduate program that was 3 years if you attended full-time and 6 years if you attended part-time, which is what I did so that I could still work full-time and not be too overwhelmed with my studies. It takes time to climb that mountain, so why not enjoy the journey along the way.

Thank you so much for joining me today on your private practice journey.
