Life, Mastered with Molly Claire

Creating space for speaking up and speaking out about sexual assault and proper justice is so needed. People of all backgrounds and experiences have been affected by sexual assault, whether personally as a victim or relationally as the friend or loved one of a victim. To talk about this sensitive topic, I interviewed Karla Hernandez and Gerald Ericksen, the driving forces behind VIVO Alliance . Ka...

As a coach, you’re dedicated to helping change lives. But without people understanding what you can do, they don’t won’t sign up with you. To get yeses, you need to be able to confidently convey what you can deliver. Unfortunately, you can’t effectively do that without first having a clear, well-organized program. To craft a program that will both deliver results and easily sell, you might desire...

Love the idea of accomplishing more, with less strain and less hustle? If so, you’re in the right place. It may seem impossible but I promise, it’s totally doable. You have what it takes. You might just need a bit of guidance, a few pointers and some empowering encouragement. I made changes in my business that resulted in higher success with lower stress.

Formulating the perfect sales page or website copy that motivates and inspires people to become your client can be a struggle. Especially if you’re not exactly sure how to word clear copy that converts or if you’ve tried various iterations and haven’t enjoyed much success. Since this is a common struggle for entrepreneurs, I chatted with Kris Jones, StoryBrand guide and Founder of Red Door Designs...

No matter what kind of coaching we do, we’re going to encounter clients who’ve experienced some form of trauma. There are simply varying degrees and types. As we do, we may find we need a deeper understanding and skill set around being a trauma informed coach. And we may even find we need to delve into trauma healing for ourselves. Since this is such a sensitive and important topic, I wanted to in...

You’re in the business of helping people and changing lives. But you can’t help anyone if they don’t know what you can do for them, so you need clarity in what you’ll deliver. But before you can have clarity in what you’ll deliver and the results clients can expect, you need to have a well-organized program. After all, if your program isn’t organized in a way that is effective, none of it is any g...

As entrepreneurs, it can be quite difficult for us to take the right kind of rest. Countless things vie for our time and attention.

In fact, at first our coaching journeys often start out somewhat self-serving. We learn because we’re passionate about a particular aspect of life, typically one we’ve personally experie...

As coaches, there are always additional challenges when it comes to physical pain and trauma responses. We want to help our clients feel relief and breakthrough in everything they are working through, yet many of us aren’t trained in this area and each of us face our own difficulties. To talk about your nervous system and coaching, I interviewed Body and Mind Life Coach , Betsy Jensen. I first fou...

Finding the main bottleneck, road block or slow down in your business can sometimes be difficult. You may feel like numerous things are going wrong.

What might change for you? What might that unlock f...

As things in the world around us and in our lives seem to be moving faster and faster, it can be difficult to know what to focus on. What are the most important steps for building our businesses?

For many of us, bookkeeping and accounting–money in general–can bring up a wide range of strong emotions. You might feel intimidation, uncertainty, discomfort or even anxiety. It can be overwhelming enough to handle your personal finances but now you also have your business finances. To talk about this critical foundation, I interviewed Ashley Ford, owner of Pretty Penny, LLC for this sixth episod...

You don’t have to have all the skills perfect to get started in your business. In fact, you really should be moving your business forward while continuing to acquire skills. So if you don’t have everything quite there yet, or even if you haven’t yet figured everything out, it’s really okay. For this fifth episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series, I focused on outlining a method...

Two of the foundational pieces for coaches these days is an online presence and branding. After all, how will you quickly reach more of those people who need you without leveraging technology? And how will they know you’re right for them without powerful, accurate branding? If these two things feel intimidating or overwhelming to you, never fear. I invited Jennie Lakenan and Deena Rutter on this f...

As we continue this Foundations for Your Coaching Business series, I want to dedicate this third episode to the idea of CEO mindset. For this, I offer 5 concepts. However, prior to considering them, you must first own and solidify the truth that you are, in fact, a CEO.  If you are coaching others as a business, and not simply an enjoyable hobby, you are the CEO of your business. But this, for mos...

A strong foundation isn't the most exciting topic but it's critical to create a thriving, growing business. So where is your foundation strong? Where is it weak? With the right foundation, it's easier and more fun to make money, change lives and expand your business. But, if one area isn’t strong, if it’s breaking down, it will affect the others.  That's why I’m launching this new series, Foundati...

The empowerment and energy to be the breadwinner in your own life is what lights up many female entrepreneurs. It is what drives them. Myself included. I recall, vividly, that feeling of helplessness and financial dependence I suffered when I went through my divorce. I was becoming a single mom and had no idea how I was going to provide for myself and my children.  Someone who can relate very well...

As humans, we all seek validation. But seeking it from your clients is a trap that can sabotage your coaching. Not only does it shift your focus from where it should be (on your client), it creates highs and lows in your coaching. Unfortunately, it can be easy to have validation trap tendencies and not even know it, so please don’t judge yourself too harshly.  In this episode, I share numerous way...

What if your ability to help people was so dialed in, you didn’t need to do anything to grow but receive referrals? It may seem out of reach but it is possible. Now, I’m not knocking other marketing methods – there are several great ones and they can be necessary – but what if I told you there are 5 coaching superskills that naturally result in referrals? Of course, these skills are fully supporte...

It can be argued that moms are the most difficult to convince that they need–and deserve– personal coaching. They are, perhaps, the most wired to set aside their own needs and focus on others. As a whole, moms find it very difficult to invest time, money, and energy into prioritizing themselves. As we tackle this reality together, I want to examine three issues that might be barriers to new client...

Whether you specifically coach parents or you simply have clients who are parents, you’ll want to listen to this episode. You’ll bank some essential skills for coaching moms (or women in general) revolving around things like how quick wins open the door to deep work, and how ‘know, like, trust’ is more than a marketing technique.  With me on the podcast to explain and expound on these 5 essential...

Giving your clients some quick and easy wins to encourage them, knowing how and when to go deeper, making things understandable and digestible – these are skills we learn. As a coach, you have the power to enact amazing change but clients need to be ready for what you have to offer and be able to understand it. So you need to tune into the right time and tactics. To discuss all this, I interviewed...

Confidence, providing transformation, and not getting too stuck in your own head. You need to have a handle on all three to master coaching. But what if your assessment of yourself on a 1 to 10 scale leaves you feeling doubtful?  First of all, having doubts is completely normal. That’s why holding a periodic audit of yourself is extremely valuable. You can identify any areas in which you’re strugg...
