✨The question isn't... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "How do I get what I want?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Who do I need to become to get what I want?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Enneagram is so much more than just a number, it's an opportunity for deep self-discovery and a path for becoming that person you need to be to get what you want. However, getting on the best path for you hinges on connecting to the accurate type for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Using the wrong type means being on the wrong development path and nobody has time for that, hence why these new Know Your Number sessions are so important (and fun!). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ An Enneagram guide (👋) can not only help you find your Type match, but also help uncover it more quickly and identify specific next steps for personal and professional growth based on you and your number. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're still here and interested in knowing more, below are the 3 key pieces that are going to make our time together working to uncover your Type so effective and accurate: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1) Enneagram Institute Test One of the best typing tests by a very credible organization. You'll take this pre-call and we'll use it as a jumping off point during the call to eliminate any and focus on the top results. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2) 45-Minute Zoom Call This is where the magic happens! We'll explore your top types, get into important preference questions, conflict styles, behavioral patterns and how to get started with your growth plan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3) Post-Call Support You'll have our notes from the call to reflect on and a few specific reflection questions to continue to confirm or clarify your Type. I'll also be in touch 1-week after to see how things are going, so you're not left hanging. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If this is calling at you, the link in my bio will explain more + how to get on the calendar💕

"The Enneagram does not put us in a box, it shows us the box we are already in --- and the way out." - The Wisdom of the Enneagram by Riso and Hudson ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📦 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Enneagram can be a powerful tool for better understanding ourselves and then being able to more effectively communicate out wants, fears, strengths and struggles to the most important people in our lives in various environments with work, love, friendships and family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recently, I got to sit down with licensed therapist and self-care coach, @maegonrenee_co to get into all of this - what motives, desires, and fears show up in her own life in all these different areas to help uncover her Enneagram type. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☕ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Next week, I'm going to be sharing something super fun called the Enneagram for Entrepreneurs to dive way deeper into all of this. I genuinely am so pumped to help you more with both feeling confident about the external part of your business *and* with the internal part of you as the business owner in all areas of your life that ultimately spill over into it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It all starts with first knowing your number to get on the best path for you. So, whether you're looking to just find out and confirm your Type so that you can binge on all the Enneagram memes and fun graphics over here, or use it to kick-off a greater self-discovery journey, I would love to be your guide in that uncovering process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ More details about doing that thru the Know Your Number Enneagram Typing Sessions are up in the link in my bio, or DM me and I'll send you the link directly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. @maegonrenee_co is a wealth of information on self-care with a focus on empaths, so I hope you'll check her out and follow along for all the fun facts and inspo on this topic 💕

This is one of my favorite parts of the Enneagram. Unlike any other self-awareness tool, uncovering the Type you are is an important part of the process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💡 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's full of ah-ha's, some "ooooh I totally do that," validation and feeling less crazy, empathy for how others' you care about have been seeing the world differently than you, and it can be full of hope and excitement with how to use it for healing and growth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For sure, there's quizzes and tests you can take to start the process, but ultimately they are just clues, not a final call (my own Enneagram coach and guide has said they're just about 60% accurate). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which is where a Know Your Number or "typing" session can help guide you thru that important process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This experience will not only help you find your Type match, but also help uncover it more quickly and identify specific next steps for personal and professional growth based on you and your number. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👇❤👇☕👇❤👇☕👇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're ready to start exploring yourself in this way and think I might be the person to help you do it, you can learn more and book a 45-min Know Your Number Session using the link up in my bio or sarahlynnco.com/knowyournumber.

Sometimes feeling is good is something we force ourselves to do when we want to mask hard feelings that we don't want to feel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧠 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But sometimes, feeling good is something we need to remind ourselves to do and regain perspective on all the people, things, and memories we have to be grateful for. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you need that kind of feeling good, here are a few questions to help get you going☀

Like Brene Brown says, "We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As someone who most identifies with a 7 on the Enneagram, I have historically only been willing to feel the happy and fun emotions and actively attempting at all costs to avoid uncomfortable and hard emotions. But I know that we all do that in our own ways, regardless of what Enneagram type you identify with.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which doesn't allow us to fully feel any of the emotions. Sure maybe we avoid feeling disappointed or sad a few times, but the joy and happiness are also dimmed in the process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ None of us have a crystal ball and can know what's around the corner, but we do know that at some point this is all going to come to an end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So note to self to not cheat yourself out of some really incredible experiences just because you don't think it will last. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nothing lasts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We're all human beings here to have the full human experience which includes both the ebbs and the flows, the ups and the down, the highs and the lows. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you embrace them all you can:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎈 feel the kind joy and happiness and satisfaction that literally makes your body feel warm and full ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎈stop missing out and depriving yourself of the amazing people, places, and experiences life is sending your way whether its last for an hour or a lifetime⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎈 be an even better friend and empathetic human because you're able to relate to someone else who's suffering and can better respond.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Any other benefits I missed by allowing yourself to feel all the feelings? 👇

"It's difficult to try and be what you're not. It expends all your energy. Being what you are doesn't require any energy." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - The Mastery of Love ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This has been one of the biggest benefits for me in my own Enneagram journey: letting go of the ideas of who I thought I should be and guilting myself when I wasn’t. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead, it’s helped me recognize the strengths and focus on the growth and transformation where it really matters for *me*. What’s in my expansion, won’t be for someone else. And what’s is something else’s expansion that will help them grow, won’t be for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What about you? What’s been one of the biggest benefits from the Enneagram for you?

For sure, it's a part of life that we have to adult sometimes and do things we don't want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...But by paying attention to what you find yourself justifying and not really wanting to do, you can better understand what you *do* really want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⭐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Those things won't require talking yourself into them, but you may notice you've been talking yourself out of them because they "don't make sense" or don't align with your list of should's. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One thing that has helped me is just to take note of how you honestly feel about what you're doing - are you justifying the work you do, the person you're with, the friends you have, the city you live, how you spend your days - because there's a good reason or because you want to?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You don't have to go out and make any major decisions right now - just start noticing what you're trying to talk yourself out of and what you're trying to talk yourself into. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🕵️♂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Those are all clues to help you figure out where you really want to be going.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💕

It look a Disney movie and stumbling back onto this quote I highlighted years ago, for this idea of passion, purpose, the reason why I'm here, etc. to finally start to click. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Right now, we live during this amazing time in the history of the world where we have the level of consciousness to ask questions about passion and purpose and to be able to go look for it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And at the same time, I think that's created a lot of anxiety, pressure, disappointment, frustration, shame, and thinking there's something wrong with anyone who hasn't yet been able to "find it." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ what if we thought of "our passion" more of an energy that we *get to bring* rather than *a thing we have to go out and find*? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which would mean... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ we could stop the search and decide to live in passion this moment thru loving, playing, helping, reading to your kid before bed, being outside, drinking great coffee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thinking that it's something we need to find also means it's something we can lose... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ vs. something we already have living inside of us that we can decide to embrace or not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead of "Why haven't I found my passion yet?" what about "Did I *feel* passion today?" or "Did I give/let passion come out today?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if, like Neale says here, our purpose isn't about a title or the kind of business we start? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if it's not even about helping other people? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if this quote is right and our purpose is more about *us* - who we're being, while we do whatever it is we do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if by *being* passion and living *on purpose* that energy spills over and still ends up impacting others for the good and... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ we get to stop worrying about figuring out why we're here, and just embrace being alive and having the full human experience?

It’s interesting (and a little annoying if we’re being honest here), how the things we want the most, often times requires us to first face the things we’re avoiding the most. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sure, for a moment here and there something amazing will happen and give us a jolt of the thing we’re looking for- happiness, love, feeling good enough, etc. but to experience what we really want fully and without strings attached (I.e. if they love me, then I’m lovable, if I know enough, then they’ll think I’m smart enough) there’s some hard things we have to take a look at and then shift. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👆🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you swipe thru above, you’ll see one example of how each Type as been able to fully experience one of their things that really important to them and do so in a way that doesn’t require any external event or person who can take it away just as quickly as it was given. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you think any of these could be a good reminder for anyone in your life, feel free to pass along and share or save for if you ever need the reminder for yourself. 💕

Glass ceiling: a metaphor used to represent an invisible barrier that keeps a given demographic from rising beyond a certain level. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We talk about this term as it relates to a massive group of people. But so many of us, walk around with our own glass ceilings that stunt our growth and keep us playing small. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had a conversation awhile back with a lady who didn't want to promote her new business, or even refer to it as a business, because she didn't want her friends to talk about her like they were talking about another friend of hers who was promoting herself on social media and around the town she lived in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That is insane, but sadly not uncommon. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First of all, I have to say this - Your real friends are not going to not talk badly about you going for your big goals. Instead, they are going to be resharing, reposting and telling everyone they know about how you can help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anything less than that I wouldn't put a lot of time or energy into, if any at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙅♂️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Secondly, how crazy is it, that we would let someone unhappy in their own life have any influence over how we live ours?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤷♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shattering our glass ceilings probably won't happen overnight, but you can start to put cracks in them by: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💎 Calling your business a business, not "this thing I'm doing" 💎Surrounding yourself with people who also believe what you're capable of 💎Making time to really know what you want, not what you're settling for 💎 Show up with your face + voice even though people will have an opinion about it ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What else what you add here? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. I did a podcast on this topic with Bri from @single.mom.tribe if you want to check out that conversation in the link above 💕
