The Punch Drunk Soul Podcast - Soul Alignment + Business Chats
If you’re a coach then you need to know…Traditional sales isn’t working for coaches.

info_outline #185 What it REALLY takes to make your business fun and easy!The Punch Drunk Soul Podcast - Soul Alignment + Business Chats
I've had a profound experience in the last few weeks in my business. In the beginning of my business, I was challenged. It was HARD. And then I tapped into energetic alignment & spiritual practices and found a lot of peace, ease and flow. And my business became more or less easy, relaxed, fun for the next few years. Sure, there were some ups and downs and hiccups along the way, but the majority of time it felt like it was almost growing ITSELF. And I guess you can say, things were so easy that I started to let GO of some of the practices and alignment that got me here in the first place......

info_outlineHey from Thailand everyone! On today’s episode I catch up with a Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator graduate, Kathryn Thompson. Kathryn and I chat about everything from how she got sick in her corporate job (sound familiar?!) to how she finally was able to step out into entrepreneurship, to how she was able to really own her worth and confidence as a coach, to how she was able to find alignment in her life and is feeling better than ever.
It’s a really juicy episode that I know you’re going to relate to so much, especially if you’ve ever struggled in the corporate world, kind of going from job to job thinking that the next one will bring you the fulfillment you’re looking for. Or thinking that you’ll go back to school for another degree because that will bring you the fulfillment you’re looking for.
Kathryn was waking up from anxiety dreams, with her heart racing, something she never experienced before in her life. She experienced just this total apathy and boredom in her life where she wasn’t motivated to do ANYTHING except veg on the couch. She finally took the leap into entrepreneurship but it wasn’t what she thought it would be until she finally aligned with her soul and created what she was truly meant to do.
For those of you out there still struggling to get clarity on what you’re meant to do or those who are finally DOING it but really feeling so exhausted, heavy and overwhelmed, this episode will hit home for you.
