The Coaching Edge: A Business Building Podcast

This week on The Coaching Edge , I’m digging into one of the most important — and most misunderstood — pieces of building a profitable coaching business: conversations. Not funnels. Not fancy sales pages. Not complicated campaigns. Conversations. Real ones. The kind that create connection… and then, eventually, clients. If you’re someone who has always felt a little allergic to anything that resem...

As we head into 2026, I want to talk about something that I believe is going to matter more than almost anything else in your coaching business this year: your ability to stay flexible and responsive. Not reactive. Not panicked. Responsive. In this episode, I’m unpacking why rigid business models are becoming harder to sustain — and why treating your business as an ongoing experiment is one of the...

As we close out 2025, I’m inviting you to join me for a guided virtual business retreat using a structure I’ve been developing and refining for years — something I now call The Compass Framework for Your Business . This simple, powerful framework breaks your coaching business into four key directions — North, East, South, and West — each representing a pillar of a sustainable, profitable coaching...

I’m closing out 2025 with a candid reflection on the biggest lessons I’ve learned this year — about staying adaptable, protecting my freedom, and doubling down on what really matters in my coaching business.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stand out in a sea of other coaches who seem to offer what you do — this episode is for you.

It’s the thing that makes your marketing feel effortless, your offers resonate deeply, and your right-fit clients...

Every coach has a story — and when you learn how to share yours intentionally, it becomes one of the most powerful marketing tools you have. In this episode, I’m breaking down how story sells — not in a slick or salesy way, but in a deeply human, connection-building way. I’ll walk you through how I’ve used different parts of my own evolving story over the years to shape my brand, connect with my a...

I’ll share the five most-searched questions from that list, give you som...

What if you could actually take December off — without tanking your coaching business? That’s what today’s episode is all about.

The truth is, the most sustainable and profitable coaching businesses...

Most new coaches start by throwing everything into social media—posting, tweaking, chasing the algorithm—hoping it leads to clients. But here’s the truth: social media is fleeting. A post lives for a few hours (maybe days). A podcast episode can work for you for years . In this episode of The Coaching Edge , I’m sharing why I believe podcasting is the single most powerful top-of-funnel tool for co...

If you’re a newer coach, it’s easy to get stuck in what I call pre-launch limbo — spending months (or years) working on things that feel productive but don’t actually get you paying clients. I call this  Shiny Object Paralysis : the pull toward fun, pretty, or “safe” tasks that eat up your time, money, and energy while you avoid the real work that will actually get your business off the groun...

The coaching industry isn’t in freefall, but let’s be honest — the buying climate has changed. People are taking longer to make decisions. Trust is harder to earn. And clients need more reassurance than ever before before committing their time, money, and energy to solving the problem you help with. If you’ve been feeling this shift in your business, you’re not imagining it — and you’re not alone....
