Episode 69: Using the Enneagram with Julie Dereshinsky

02/23/23 • 40 min

Julie is an International Coaches Federation (ICF) Certified Professional Coach, a SHE RECOVERS® Designated Coach, and an Accredited Integrative Enneagram Practitioner.
Julie specializes in mental health coaching, and working with high functioning, high achieving women who are questioning their relationship with alcohol. Many of the women she works with share the experience that alcohol is no longer serving them the way it used to and they are noticing an impact on their mental health.

Julie is a wife and mom to two young kids, and she spent many years questioning her own relationship with alcohol until she decided to live alcohol free in 2018. In her downtime Julie loves traveling, reading, anything true crime, spending time with her husband and children, and volunteering her time in her community.
