In today's episode of Coach Business, I share an experience I had recently where I saw a post that caused me to shame spiral a bit (not for long, but enough that I wanted to talk to you about it). So often, people share things online without sharing the full story - this was one of those instances - but it led to me having some feelings, regardless. I'm betting you can relate. Listen in, a...

My hunch is that we've all been there! So often in business building (maybe even most of the time), we are not where we want to be yet, but we know where we're going and have a goal in mind. When momentum...

"If you chose it, go for it!" It's your job to talk about what it is you're great at so people will know. What do you need to do to be loud (louder than is probably comfortable)?

This month marks year 15 of my coaching business , and I want to celebrate it not by talking about what I've done but what's normal. Most of us who are coaches really like and want to do this work. We want to be coaching! One thing that really gets in the way of that is seeing so much puffed-up business metric marketing and other BS that makes you feel bad about why you're doing this and what you...

In this episode, I am joined by Life and Mindset Coach for women, Missy Frisch. We coached on the thought she was having - that I bet many people can relate to - "I am not clear." The thing about these unhelpful thoughts, business blocks, and saboteurs is that they're never specific enough. They create these stuck places but have no real definition or meaning , and when we poke at them that become...

In today's episode, we're talking to Change Coach, Nicola Holmes about women and power - more specifically growing more deeply into your power in midlife.

What's something not normally perceived as powerful that makes y...

"I want to see your guts in your offers." In the last episode, we discussed opt-ins, freebies, and lists. Here's why: You have to give people something to bounce off of - to get to know you and whether they want to work with you. What are you naturally good at or passionate about? How can you use that to host something people want, that is worth telling their friends about? The goal:...

" You don't own the socials. You serve at the pleasure of the platforms, and they could take it all away tomorrow, without any explanation, if they wanted to." Having an opt-in or a freebie AND a newsletter list is essential. When you encounter people (online or in person), you want to be able to say, "I've thought about you, and I've created something that makes your li...
