In this episode, Ipek Gray, founder of The Born Method, joins parenting expert Jennie Monness to explore how birthdate-based numerical patterns can reveal how we’re uniquely wired — from how we communicate and experience the world to our natural strengths, challenges, and “zone of genius.”

After a private session that deeply resonated, Jennie invited Ipek to walk through her children’s numbers live on the podcast, offering a real-time look at the process. The conversation explores how understanding these patterns can bring greater awareness, compassion, and clarity to family dynamics.

Rather than predicting the future or striving for perfection, The Born Method offers a roadmap for deeper connection — helping parents meet their children, partners, and themselves with greater understanding.

​

When Ipek Gray launched her business The Born Method™ — a system rooted in decades of her mother’s research but newly introduced to the US — she generated $50,000 in 1:1 coaching revenue in her first few months.

Booking 200 private clients in just six months as a new founder, her growth came entirely from community partnerships.

By embedding herself in values-aligned groups, Ipek turned small, trusted circles into a scalable referral engine where 30% of clients were directly community members and the rest were referred by community members.

​

By blending math, data, and ancient wisdom, The Born Method reveals patterns that shape how we show up in career, relationships, and decision-making. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree for her work in education and data, Ipek left a successful career to carry her mother’s legacy forward, guiding founders, executives, and parents to turn numbers into a personal guidebook for clarity and transformation.

Marci and Debbie sit down with Ipek Gray, founder of the Born Method, to explore how data, math, and ancient wisdom can give parents a practical roadmap for life, relationships, and decision-making. Rooted in a patented 20-digit code based on your birth date, the method offers clear, personalized insights into life patterns, timing, and purpose—without the pressure to be perfect. The conversation compares the Born Method to tools like the Enneagram, highlighting how systems like these can reduce conflict, build connection, and help families move through chaotic seasons with more ease and compassion.​

Ipek brings this method to life with her uniquely clear and open-hearted style. Clients describe sessions as "one of the best gifts you can give yourself," granting tangible tools and self-awareness in just 90 minutes. In this episode, she'll walk us through:

• The numbers, data, and real-world outcomes behind the system

• How her unique background, her mother's legacy, and her own experiences shape the way she practices and shares it.

• Some of the numbers and what they mean

• And as a VERY special treat, she is walking us through some of the numbers for Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce as a high profile example.
