Raving Coaches

If you've ever wondered why coaching feels natural but marketing, networking, pricing, and getting clients feels like an uphill battle, this episode is for you. I don't think it's because you're bad at business. I think it's because nobody ever taught you how to build one. Most coaches have been coaching unofficially for years—in their churches, workplaces, communities, and families—long before th...

What if the thing holding your business back isn't a lack of strategy, confidence, or effort? What if some of the challenges you're experiencing around visibility, pricing, receiving clients, or growing your business didn't actually start with you? In this conversation with Carolina Bakker we explored a fascinating topic that many coaches sense but rarely discuss. Carolina believes that some of th...

You don’t have a strategy problem. You have a trust problem. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason coaches aren’t getting clients—even when they’re doing “all the right things.” We’ve been taught to believe people buy based on logic, information, and credentials. That’s not what’s happening. People buy because they trust you. And in this episode, I walk you through exactly where that...

You’ve taken the courses. You’ve hired the coaches. You’ve learned the strategies. So why are you still second-guessing every decision in your coaching business? In this episode, I’m digging into something that quietly sabotages even the smartest, most capable coaches: trust. Not the fluffy version of trust—but the real, lived experience of trusting your own decisions when it comes to your marketi...

Are you sitting in decision fatigue right now? You're going to love this episode with Teri Karjala.  If you’re a coach who keeps second-guessing your next move, wondering if you’re choosing the “right” strategy, or feeling pulled in ten different directions… this episode is going to land. Teri brings in her background as a Business Success Therapist to talk about something most coaches don’t addre...

I recently interviewed Clive Enever, and this conversation goes straight to the heart of why so many coaches struggle to get clients, even when they’re good at what they do. Clive has been in business and coaching for over 30 years, and what he shared about sales, identity, and “ideal clients” is not what most coaches are being taught. We talked about why demographics don’t define your ideal clien...

Shannyn Schroeder is an executive function coach who helps neurodivergent women, especially those with ADHD, build systems that actually work for their brains....

You can have a beautiful website… and still not get clients.   In this episode, I answer a simple but powerful question: what’s the one thing your website needs to make people book instead of bounce? After working with hundreds of coaches and hosting over 150 podcast interviews, I’ve seen the same issue over and over again, coaches aren’t clearly explaining the problem they solve in language their...

In this episode we get into something that I love talking about. Building and running your business in a way that fits how you operate. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still hitting a wall, this episode will land. Mary brings in Human Design as a way to understand how your energy actually works. We talk about why the standard way of building a business doesn’t work...

I recently interviewed Erin Foley, and if you’ve ever felt like your energy disappeared overnight… your weight stopped responding… or your sleep just won’t cooperate anymore—this is the episode you didn’t know you needed. In this episode with Erin Foley, we’re not talking about surface-level wellness advice. Erin breaks down what’s actually happening in your body after 35, especially the connectio...

Most coaches say yes to collaborations way too quickly—and then wonder why nothing comes from them. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on collaborations: podcasts, summits, workshops, and all the “we should do something together” conversations that show up in your inbox or networking groups. Because the idea sounds great, but the execution? That’s where things fall apart. I share what I...

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not quite saying it right” when you talk about your work you're going to enjoy this interview with Robin Carr. Robin talks about being unapologetically yourself, and what I appreciated is that she didn’t make it fluffy. She made it practical. This isn’t about confidence affirmations. It’s about how you talk to yourself, what you tolerate, and whether you’re actuall...

I recently had someone ask me what Endotype is a “natural seller”. All Endotypes can sell, but sales often feels uncomfortable for a lot of coaches. It doesn’t mean you are bad at it. You just don’t have a structure for the sales experience. In this episode, I walk you through the exact framework I use on sales calls that makes them feel easier, more natural, and far more effective. Instead of try...

When I first started coaching, I wore “empath” like a badge of honor. But the more I learned from Anna Hanael, the more I realized that being an empath without boundaries leads straight to burnout, anxiety, undercharging, and people-pleasing in business and relationships.   In this episode Anna shares her journey from communist Poland to becoming a hypnotherapist and energy teacher working with pr...

If you’ve ever watched someone “perform leadership” and wondered whether you’re the problem because you refuse to play that game… this episode will land. Veronica Taylor doesn’t teach leadership as a job title. She teaches it as a lived value—something you carry into your relationships, your work, and the moments that test you when nobody’s clapping. Veronica’s story is intense in the most honest...

Most coaches think being a podcast guest is about exposure. It’s not. It’s about intention, preparation, and knowing exactly how a podcast fits into your client-attraction strategy. In this episode, I break down what actually makes podcast guesting work for coaches — and why so many people are wasting time saying yes to interviews that go nowhere. We talk through the unsexy but critical logistics...

In this interview with Molly Thompson, we discuss coaches—especially those who are having deep impact, so capable, and still quietly exhausted by guilt, shame, and the pressure to “do more.” Molly is building Elevated Achievers, a community for high-achieving women entrepreneurs (many with ADHD) who are already productive—but don’t feel alive in their work anymore. We talked about why productivity...

If you’ve ever hit an income goal and felt… nothing (or worse: pressure), this conversation will land. I sat down with Teresa Romain who’s been teaching abundance for 30 years and we went straight into the uncomfortable truth most coaches avoid: you can be doing “everything right” financially and still feel like you’re failing. Teresa talks candidly about debt, shame, bankruptcy, and the moment sh...

If you have ever thought “I know what I’m doing… so why am I not getting booked?” you’re going to feel painfully seen in this episode with Jenny Unsworth. We talk about the moment a smart, high-achieving coach realizes that doing more isn’t the answer—because in a personal brand business, people aren’t buying your brain. They’re buying what they feel when you speak, teach, and lead. We got into th...

Ever wonder why you can’t seem to “just do the thing” in your business—even when you know what to do? This episode with trauma healing coach Sara Miley will blow your mind. We unpack why common coaching struggles like imposter syndrome, burnout, black-and-white thinking, and people-pleasing are often unprocessed trauma responses—not mindset issues. Sara breaks down Internal Family Systems (IFS) in...

That disconnect is something we are talking about this week. Do your clients want what you are offering? If you don’t have a steady stream of clients, the answer is probably not. That discon...

You know what I hear from a lot of midlife women? “I did what I was supposed to do… and now I don’t know who I am.” Debbie Harrell calls that the autopilot problem—and in this conversation she names the rules underneath it: people-pleasing, martyr-mode, and decades of prioritizing everyone else’s needs until your own wants feel… inaccessible. Debbie shares why she chose the phrase “rebel life coac...

If your marketing feels technically “fine” but people aren’t responding, this episode is for you. Because most coaches aren’t struggling with what to say — they’re struggling with where they’re saying it from. In this conversation, I explain how fear shows up subtly in coaching messaging, even when it sounds confident or well-written. I walk through how your protective “parent” energy can hijack y...

I am a person who has a thousand words when I get upset—and I have had a difficult time interacting with people who go quiet, freeze, or default to “I don’t know” when they are. So when I sat down with Victoria Duarte, somatic and mindfulness coach and co-founder of Healing Arts Center in Virginia Beach, I learn so much about what’s actually happening in the body during shutdown, why “simple quest...
