This week on Enneagram in Real Life, Stephanie Barron Hall interviews Hunter Mobley, Enneagram teacher, author, attorney, and former pastor. Mobley shares his journey with the Enneagram, which began organically through a friendship with Suzanne Stabile. He explains his approach to Enneagram work and spiritual growth, which he details in his new book, Letting Go, Finding You. He emphasizes the core belief that our truest selves and virtues are not something we need to "go get," but rather something that is already within us. Hunter shares some practices with us that we can apply in our daily lives. They discuss the idea that through the practices of contemplation, we can allow our true essence to re-emerge, leading to genuine transformation.

Hunter Mobley is a gifted Enneagram teacher, author, attorney, and former pastor who brings deep insight and compassion to his work. He apprenticed under renowned Enneagram teacher Suzanne Stabile and now teaches alongside her and her husband, Joe Stabile, at their teaching center in Dallas, Texas. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Hunter combines his diverse professional experiences with a heartfelt approach to spiritual growth.

In 2020, Hunter authored 40 Days on Being a 2, part of the Enneagram Daily Reflections series, offering heartfelt insights for those with a Type Two personality. His upcoming book, Letting Go, Finding You (2025), will explore the Enneagram’s transformative power in helping individuals release limiting patterns and embrace their true essence.

Hunter has taught Enneagram retreats, workshops, and events in diverse settings, including Amy Grant's Alaskan Cruise, Belmont University, Vanderbilt University, denominational headquarters, and churches and retreat centers nationwide. He also regularly appears as an Enneagram expert on podcasts.

With a warm and accessible teaching style, Hunter inspires individuals and groups to deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships, fostering authentic connection and personal growth.
