Leading with Compassion: The Enneagram, Leadership, and Legacy with Julia Nepini
Description
In this inspiring podcast swap episode, Dr. Amy Parks sits down with Julia Nepini, a powerhouse therapist, supervisor, and leadership consultant whose career blends clinical supervision, consulting, podcasting, and parenting—all with a healthy dose of humor and heart.
Together, Amy and Julia dive into the power of the Enneagram as a framework for leadership, self-awareness, and supervision, exploring how understanding personality patterns can strengthen teams, improve relationships, and deepen insight in both clinicians and supervisors.
Julia shares her journey from solo practice to leading a 30-person group, discusses the challenges of wearing multiple hats (mom, supervisor, business owner, podcast host, and speaker), and opens up about being recently diagnosed with ADHD—and how it’s reshaped the way she leads and lives.

- The difference between managerial vs. clinical supervision
- How to create self-led leaders and sustainable systems in group practice
- Why leadership isn’t about managing people—it’s about sustaining people
