In the meantime, I want to share with you the five tools I cannot live without in my own coaching business. I’ve been using some of these tools since I started my business all the way back in 2016 and...

I’m very excited you’re joining me for another installment in our Back-to-Basics series where we’re going all the way back to the spring of 2020 when I kicked the podcast off with a Getting Started series.

Today, we’re looking at what you can do to find your ideal coaching client.

I’m so happy you’re back joining me for another installment in our Back-to-Basics series. In this series, we’re going back to episodes released in 2020 that focus on how to get things started or growing in your coaching business. And, while these episodes are still as relevant today as they were back then, I have provided an update at the end the episode for what I might do differently if I were to record this episode again today. The topic we’re revisiting this week is that of how you can go about pricing your coaching offer. As part of this conversation, we’re looking at what goes...

We’re continuing our second look at some of the foundational episodes of what I originally called the Getting Started Series. With technological advancements, we may change the way we implement and apply foundational concepts, but the concepts themselves are still strong. That’s why we’re revisiting these episodes in this Back-to-Basics Series. This week, we take a look at exactly what you need to do in order to create your coaching offer. I share what I was taught to do, what I now recommend you do instead, some of the questions you’ll want to ask yourself during this process, and...

This episode is coming to you just after the recent launch of Coach with Clarity Collective; which is my group program for innovative, intuitive coaches who are seeking support and community as they deepen their coaching mastery and build their business skills. If you’re interested in joining the collective, you can join waitlist. One of the things I did after this launch was reach out to people who had demonstrated interest with a short survey that included a question about why they opted not to join the collective this round and there were two themes that stood out. The first was that the...

I’m thrilled to introduce you to my friend, Jennifer Sobel, who is a gifted healer and the entrepreneurial force behind The Belly Dance Solution. One thing I’ve noticed in the work I do is that there seems to be a lot of mystery around the process of establishing your niche and I feel like Jennifer’s story brings clarity to this issue that has mystified so many of us. In this episode, Jennifer shares her journey of how she landed on a niche that combined her passion, values, and interests with an identified need for the people she most wanted to serve. If you want to learn...

Something I’ve been hearing from my clients, collective members, colleagues, and fellow entrepreneurs is that the tried and true strategies we’ve been using for years just don’t seem to be working well right now. While I’m not entirely sure I agree because there are still some strategies that are working well for me, I also understand that’s not the case for everyone. So, in today’s episode, I want to explore three reasons why your strategy might not be working as well for you as it could.

info_outlineUs entrepreneurs are tired, burnt out, and bored. We don’t want the same old thing when it comes to the tools we use and how we run our businesses. We want to put more of an emphasis on making deep connections and friendships in an online space rather than just making a sale.
But, here’s the thing… not all boredom is created equal. Some types of boredom can be destructive, but some types of boredom might even be necessary for our growth.
In this episode, I share how the new social media platform from Meta, Threads led to the epiphany that inspired this episode, how boredom with the traditional marketing and sales strategies is fueling my desire to pivot how I do things in my own business, responses I received when I asked other business owners what they do when they’re feeling bored in their business or disconnected from their purpose, the types of boredom that are necessary for our growth, and more.
