I Have Notes with Coach Stephanie Finigan

If you're going after new goal or trying to achieve something you've never done before, you could do it from a place of anxiety, or a place of confidence. It might not seem like a choice - it might seem like you either have confidence or not. But the truth is, taking action from a place of confidence is how you actually build confidence - and how you get what you want. It's not complicated but mos...

When we're young we spend a lot of time thinking about the life we want...By the time we hit our 40's though most of us have more of a "I've made my bed, time to lie in it" mentality. How many times recently have your actually considered what you WANT to do, where you want to live, how you want to make money, who you want to spend your time with....And as soon as you start thinking about that, how...

Scarcity and abundance are talked about a lot in the coaching space, but how do you actually know if you're in one or the other - and how do you move out of scarcity (in money, time, or any other area of your life) and into scarcity? This episode makes the whole process much more simple and practical. Listen in to figure out how to have more of anything you want - it's easier than you think.

You've made some changes, achieved some goals, and are feeling pretty good. Except - there's more. You're treading water; there's more you want to do, but it's also fine right where you are. And you're not quite sure how to make the next shift, the level up, actually happen. In this episode we talk about the mindset shift you need to make in order to go from good to great in any area where you wan...

It's enough with self care, right? Agreed. Except sometimes self care comes in forms we don't see - and in ways that really help. In this episode we break down a coaching session I had with a client that mirrored my own coaching session not 24 hours later - both about the ways small moves can make a big difference for our nervous system, decision making, and overall well being.

In this short episode you'll learn the one question you can ask yourself to make everything easier....(It's that simple).

It's really easy for life coaching, personal development, or any other self-help or wellness work to feel pretty shallow, self-centered or just pointless when we're in an acute crisis. But personal development work can also be the exact fuel we need to propel us forward during and after times of personal (or global) emergencies. In this episode you'll hear a life coach's perspective on how she bal...

If you’re going through life on autopilot - not really thinking through your choices, not totally sure why you’re doing what you’re doing - then you’re not alone. Most of us do this. But if you want to live your life the way YOU want to, you need to pay attention to what you’re doing and why. In this episode I’ll walk you through an Autopilot Audit, showing you how to become aware of where you may...

Setting one goal and going after it with laser-focus is usually what most coaches tell us to do. Even if you have multiple goals/resolutions/things you want to achieve or change (which many of us do), a one-at-a-time approach is usually considered the best approach. But that’s not how I like to achieve my (multiple) goals or coach my clients to achieve theirs. In this episode I’ll walk you through...

Self doubt can creep in and put a stop to even the most confident person’s plans to make a big pivot in their career, personal life, or anywhere else.

No matter who you are you probably have one (or many) thing(s) that you want in life that seem just out of reach.

And there’s a reason it’s hard to believe - it’s not because it’s not possible for you - it’s because...

Not being sure of what’s going to happen - with the new job, the relationship, your business, your family, or anything else - is scary. It’s also our reality.

Coming close to achieving a goal or accomplishing a dream and then having it suddenly slip away can feel like the most helpless, powerless experience, and is the root of so much unhelpful thinking (“See, it’s just never going to work out for me….”).

People pleasing is one of the most common topics people aim to address in coaching. So many of us are in the habit of being a “people pleaser”, and even though it doesn’t get us to where we want to be (because we stay stuck being focused on others rather than moving ourselves forward) we can’t seem to stop. In this episode Stephanie will outline the most important step in breaking the habit of peo...
