349-Who Can Be a Coach?

Thu, 07 May 2026 11:39:00 -0400

A WILLING HEART IS YOUR QUALIFICATION - Most people think they need more knowledge before they can guide others, but coaching is built on presence, not perfection. In this episode, we unpack why willingness matters more than expertise and how everyday roles already reflect the posture of a coach.

Key Takeaways
Anyone can learn the core skills of coaching, including curiosity, non judgment, and holding space.
A lack of credentials or a perfectly resolved life does not disqualify someone, but the need to control or be the expert will.
Many roles already involve coaching, the difference is choosing to do it with structure and purpose.

Action Guide
Notice one conversation this week where you would normally give advice. Pause, ask a thoughtful question instead, and allow space for the other person to think through their own answer before you respond. How could you see yourself helping this person even beyond the conversation if you were a coach?

348-What It Means to Be a Sterling and Stone Coach

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:52:00 -0400

MODERN DAY DISCIPLERS- There is a difference between learning how to coach and becoming the kind of person who can guide transformation. In this episode, I unpack the heart, posture, and responsibility behind Sterling and Stone coaching. This is not about collecting tools or asking better questions. This is about stepping into a role of influence, leadership, and discipleship in everyday life. Coaching becomes a way to help people renew their minds, align with truth, and move forward with purpose, creating ripple effects that impact families, communities, and generations.

Key Takeaways
• Coaching is not just conversation, it is leadership in someone’s transformation and growth
• Personal transformation comes first, your life becomes the foundation of how you guide others
• Coaching is a modern day expression of discipleship, lived out in real relationships and real life decisions

Action Guide
Take a moment to reflect on your own posture as you help others. Are you focused on being helpful, or are you stepping into responsibility for guiding real transformation? Ask God to show you one area in your own thinking or life that needs renewal, and begin there. The depth of your impact will always flow from the depth of your own transformation.

347-From Conversations to Clients: How to Be Intentional with Your Help

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:49:00 -0400

FROM INFORMAL HELP TO INTENTIONAL LEADERSHIP- You are probably already helping people more than you realize. The conversations, the questions, the perspective you offer in everyday moments are not random. They are patterns. And for many women, those patterns are the early evidence of a coaching call. In this episode, we talk about the shift that has to happen, not in skill, but in identity. Moving from casually helping to intentionally leading requires ownership, structure, and a willingness to be seen. This is where conversations begin to turn into clients, and where influence becomes responsibility.

Key Takeaways
• You are likely already doing the work of coaching through everyday conversations, you just have not named it yet
• Coaching is different from helping because it requires intentional leadership, structure, and responsibility for results
• The biggest barrier is not skill, it is the identity shift from helper to someone who leads others through growth

Action Guide
Pay attention this week to where people are already coming to you for support, perspective, or clarity. Notice the patterns, not just the moments. Then ask yourself, what would it look like to be intentional with this instead of casual? Where could you create a defined space for that kind of conversation to actually lead somewhere?

346-Worried You’re Not Ready to Be a Coach?

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 19:02:34 -0400

YOU DON’T NEED PERFECTION OR READINESS! A lot of women who start thinking about coaching assume the reason they are hesitating is because they don’t know enough yet. But in my experience, that’s rarely the real issue. Most of the time the struggle isn’t information. It’s fear. Fear that you’re not legitimate enough, not experienced enough, not perfect enough, or that you’ll put yourself out there and people will judge you or reject you. In this episode I walk through the questions about worth, credibility, comparison, calling, faith, and whether your story actually matters. If you’ve been wondering whether you’re ready to coach, this conversation will help you see those fears for what they are and remind you that you were created on purpose for good works.

Key Takeaways:

Most hesitation around coaching is rooted in fear and identity questions, not a lack of ability.

Your life experience and what you have already walked through can become meaningful guidance for someone else.

Confidence, credibility, and clarity grow as you begin helping people, not before.

Action Guide:

Pay attention to the one thought that keeps telling you you’re not ready. Write it down. Then ask yourself if that thought is actually true, or if it’s just fear trying to keep you from stepping forward. Choose one small action you could take this week that moves you closer to helping someone.

345-Why Coaching Skills Alone Don’t Build a Coaching Business

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:02:00 -0500

COACHING SKILLS ARE NOT ENOUGH - Many people believe that if they just become a better coach, clients will naturally find them. They focus on learning how to listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and guide people through meaningful conversations. Those skills matter. But coaching skill alone does not build a coaching business. In this episode we talk about the difference between the role of the coach and the role of the captain. One happens inside the session. The other happens outside of it. If you want a coaching practice that actually brings people through the door, you have to learn to wear both.

Key Takeaways:
• Coaching skill and business ownership are two different roles, and both are required to build a coaching practice.
• The coach’s headphones represent listening, guiding, and helping people think clearly inside a session.
• The captain’s cap represents leadership outside the session - setting direction, inviting people in, and steering the business forward.

Action Guide:
Take an honest look at where your time and energy are going right now. Are you spending most of your effort improving your coaching skills while hoping clients will appear, or are you also stepping into the role of business owner by sharing your message, inviting people into conversations, and clearly offering your coaching? This week, choose one action that reflects the captain’s cap - something that actively steers your coaching business forward.

344-10 Signs You’re Called to Coach

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 00:13:00 -0500

GET CLARITY ON YOUR CALLING- So many people quietly wonder if the pull they feel toward guiding others is real or just a passing idea. In this episode, we separate ego from assignment, desire from stewardship, and hype from maturity. Calling is not about platform or personality. It is about alignment between your wiring, your lived experience, and the burden you carry for transformation. If you have ever asked, “Is this for me?” this episode will help you discern whether coaching is curiosity, escape, or a genuine assignment on your life.

Which ones speak to you?

People naturally come to you for wisdom, clarity, and guidance.
You ask thoughtful questions and genuinely want to understand what is going on beneath the surface.
You notice patterns in how people think, believe, feel, and act.
You feel burdened when people are stuck, overwhelmed, discouraged, or not becoming who they are meant to be.
You care deeply about other people’s transformation, not just their immediate relief.
You feel genuinely alive and moved when you see someone else break through, grow, or succeed.
You are more interested in helping others win than in being the one getting the attention.
You can look back and see that you have already been coaching, mentoring, or guiding people in everyday life.
The idea of coaching keeps coming back to you and does not feel like a passing thought.
You are willing to grow, heal, and lead yourself so you can help others do the same.

343-Live Coaching: From Aspiring Coach to Full-Time Coachpreneur

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:41:00 -0500

A TRANSITION TO FULL TIME- This live coaching session is for the coach who knows she is called, has been faithful for years, and still feels the tension of “why is it not happening faster?” Laschl has recently retired and wants five weekly clients. Together, you talk through the shift from side gig thinking to business owner thinking, why pricing reflects value (not time), how testimony builds faith and attracts the right clients, and why selling is not sleazy - it is serving. You also unpack false humility, imposter syndrome, and practical next steps like testimonials, clear calls to action, simple lead magnets, and even the idea of group coaching from home.

Key Takeaways:
• Retirement is not an end point - it is a transition into a new season of ownership and clarity.
• Pricing is not about making people “suffer to pay” - it is about communicating the value of hope, clarity, and transformation.
• Testimony is not making it about you - it is showing what is possible when you partner with God and take one small step at a time.

Action Guide:
Write a short testimony you can share this week. Keep it simple: what was hard before, what changed, and what you did with God to get there. Then add one clear invitation at the end of your next email or reel that tells people exactly how to work with you.

342-Own Your Time and Level Up as a Coach

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 12:58:43 -0500

BECOMING A COACH WHO LEADS THEIR TIME- One of the fastest ways to lose authority as a coach is to live from the phrase “I don’t have time.” In this episode, we talk about why self leadership always comes before client leadership and how time management is less about systems and more about personal agency. You will learn why shifting from “I don’t have time” to “I don’t make time” moves you out of a victim mindset and into ownership, clarity, and power. This conversation is about learning to lead yourself well so you can teach what you actually live.

Key Takeaways:
• Coaches must practice what they ask clients to do, especially when it comes to time and priorities.
• “I don’t have time” removes agency, while “I don’t make time” restores choice and responsibility.
• Wherever you give your time, you are also giving your mindset, emotions, energy, and will, and that investment always creates results.

Action Guide:
Pay attention this week to when you say or think “I don’t have time.” Pause and restate it as “I am not making time for this right now.” Notice what that reveals about your values, priorities, and beliefs. Decide on one area where you will intentionally make time, not because it is easy, but because it aligns with the leader and coach you want to become.

341-Anchoring Your Work in This Season

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 21:07:53 -0500

GET STEADY BEFORE YOU MOVE- It’s easy for coaches to rush into planning, offering, and striving without first creating internal steadiness. In this episode, we talk about why anchoring matters before momentum. You’ll learn how presence, purpose, rhythm, and results work together to reduce reactivity, support clarity, and help you build something sustainable instead of chaotic.

Key Takeaways:
• Presence keeps you grounded in what is real instead of driven by anxiety about the future.
• Purpose and rhythm protect you from burnout by aligning your work with your values and capacity.
• Results are feedback, not identity, and help you adjust without self judgment.

Action Guide:
Notice which anchor feels weakest right now. Choose one simple action this week that strengthens it, such as slowing your pace, revisiting why you coach, adjusting your weekly rhythm, or reviewing results as neutral information instead of a verdict.

340-Invite God to Tell You Who You Are as a Coach

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 15:23:35 -0500

IDENTITY BEFORE STRATEGY- As we open a new year inside the Christian Life Coach Collective, this episode begins somewhere different. Not with pressure, performance, or planning, but with listening. Through prayer and guided reflection, you are invited to ask God who He says you are as a coach, why He shaped you the way He did, and who you are meant to serve. This episode walks you through identity, purpose, belonging, and a Great Exchange where lies are released and Truth is received, setting a grounded foundation for your coaching and business in the year ahead.

Key Takeaways:
Identity precedes clarity, and listening comes before doing.
Your coaching purpose is often simple, faithful, and rooted in how God formed you.
Belonging is about resonance, not chasing markets or money.

Action Guide:
Set aside quiet time this week to revisit the core questions from the episode. Ask God who He says you are, why He shaped you for coaching, and who you are meant to serve. Write down what you hear without editing or rushing. If lies surface, intentionally exchange them for Truth and let that Truth guide your next small, faithful step.

339-You Are Not Behind in This Season

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 00:15:00 -0500

PRESENCE OVER PERFORMANCE - Christmas can be tender, emotional, and unexpectedly quiet. This episode is a gentle invitation to release pressure, stop striving, and notice where God has already been with you this year. Instead of fixing or forcing anything, we reflect on presence, peace that looks simple or unfinished, and the reminder every woman needs to hear on the holidays: you are not behind.

Key Takeaways
• Christmas is about presence, not performance.
• God meets us in unfinished, tender places.
• Feeling emotional during the holidays does not mean you are failing or falling behind.

Action Guide
Take a quiet moment today and ask yourself, Where did I notice God with me this year? Let one small moment be enough. No fixing, no planning, no pressure. Just notice and rest in that truth.

338-A Simple Tool For Overwhelming Days

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:53:00 -0500

GROUNDED IN THE MIDDLE OF CRAZY– Holidays often stir more emotion than peace. They carry a huge contrast of 'expectation meets reality'. People remember who’s missing, feel pressure to make things perfect, and reach the edge of their emotional capacity. In this episode, we’ll talk about what makes these “big emotion days” so intense and how to use a simple four-step tool to bring calm and clarity back into the moment—for you and the people you coach.

Key Takeaways
• Big emotion days are usually caused by accumulation, not crisis—too many small stressors and not enough rest.
• The Pause, Name, Ground, Choose process helps restore awareness, safety, and emotional regulation.
• Grounding the body before doing mindset work creates peace and clarity for both coach and client.

Action Guide
When emotion rises this week, pause and take one deep breath. Name what’s happening, ground your body in the present moment, and choose your next step. Then teach this same process to someone who needs a practical way to move through big emotion days with peace.

337-End Every Session Well: Client Breakthrough Series

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 02:29:00 -0500

THE CLOSE CREATES THE MEMORY. Clients remember how a session ends more than how it begins. A clear, grounded close turns insight into action and reinforces safety and structure.

Key Takeaways:

Review the discovery before ending.
Anchor emotion with breath or body awareness.
Point forward with one clear next step.

Action Guide:
After your next session, take one minute to reflect: Did I ground, summarize, and point forward?

336-Recognizing Breakthrough: Client Breakthrough Series

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 01:23:00 -0500

BREAKTHROUGH IS AWARENESS, NOT DRAMA. It’s often quiet—a sigh, a new sentence, or softened eyes. Notice it, name it, and nurture it. Let the client register it as transformation in progress and learn how to close the session feeling rooted and hopeful.

Key Takeaways:

Breakthroughs are internal before they’re visible.
Naming them helps clients anchor new awareness.
Celebrate progress, not perfection.

Action Guide:
After your next session, write down one phrase that marked a client’s shift. How can you help them anchor it this week?

335-Holding Space Instead of Holding Court: Client Breakthroughs

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 14:27:00 -0500

PRESENCE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN PERFORMANCE. You don’t need perfect words; you need stability. Holding space means staying with tension long enough for truth to surface instead of rescuing or redirecting.

Key Takeaways:

Don’t relieve tension too early—let it reveal truth.
Your steadiness becomes the client’s safety.
Transformation unfolds when you stop forcing it.

Action Guide:
In your next session, notice one moment you want to jump in too soon. Pause instead. See what emerges when you let the client sit with what’s happening.

334-Creating Emotional Safety: Client Breakthroughs

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 09:44:25 -0500

PEOPLE HEAL WHERE THEY FEEL SAFE. You can’t rush transformation; you can only make it safe to happen. Emotional safety isn’t soft—it’s strategic. Clients won’t explore what feels dangerous, but they will open up where peace is modeled.

Key Takeaways:

Safety begins with your tone, pace, and posture.
A calm presence regulates the entire session.
Validation is more powerful than advice.

Action Guide:
In your next session, slow your pace and soften your tone. Ask yourself, “Would I feel safe being coached by me right now?”

333-Naming Neutral Facts: Client Breakthroughs

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:48:15 -0500

WHEN FACTS & INTERPRETATIONS SEPARATE-Most confusion comes from mixing what happened with what we think it means. Helping clients tell those apart creates immediate freedom and responsibility.

Key Takeaways

Facts are neutral; interpretations give them emotional weight.
This distinction restores agency and reduces blame.
Naming facts grounds emotion in truth.

Action Guide
Ask in your next session, “What’s the fact, and what’s the meaning you added?” Notice how quickly clarity returns.

332-When People Are Stuck: Client Breakthroughs

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 01:21:00 -0500

STUCKNESS ISN’T FAILURE— When clients loop, defend, or go quiet, they’re not resisting you—they’re protecting themselves. Your job isn’t to push; it’s to stay calm and create safety until their system can settle and see again.

Key Takeaways

Stuckness often signals pain, not rebellion.
Silence and curiosity regulate the moment better than pressure.
Presence builds trust that allows insight to emerge naturally.

Action Guide
When a client gets stuck, wait five full breaths before speaking. Let the stillness do its work.

331-Spotting The Real Problem: Client Breakthroughs

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 18:20:00 -0400

FIND THE BELIEF, NOT JUST THE STORY-Clients come in describing details, emotions, and people—but the real coaching moment happens when you hear the belief underneath it all. Transformation begins when you can separate circumstance from interpretation and help the client uncover what they’re making it mean.

Key Takeaways

The root issue is rarely the situation—it’s the paradigm behind it.
Ask questions that get to meaning instead of adding more detail.
Awareness of interpretation brings breakthrough faster than advice.

Action Guide
Listen for repeated words or emotional spikes in your next session. Ask, “What are you making this mean about you?”

330-What To Do When You Face "The Business Intimidator"

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 15:12:00 -0400

‘BUSINESS’ CAN FEEL INTIMIDATING- You feel called to offer your services, but the business aspect freaks you out. You wish you didn’t have to create everything from scratch. In this episode, I’m talking about why that feeling is normal, how to move from fear to focus, and what simple actions can help you build a business that supports your calling instead of stifling it. You can do this!

Key Takeaways

Business isn’t separate from calling- it’s the structure that sustains it.
You don’t really need to start from scratch. You need a system you can make your own.
Easy is allowed and it’s possible. Structure multiplies impact and creates the freedom you want.

Listener Challenge

Choose one of the ten steps I mention and do it this week. Don’t overthink it, just pick the one that gives you the most peace or creates the most curiosity. Maybe it’s naming your calling, writing your first offer, or reaching out to serve one person. The goal isn’t to build it all: it’s to just take action.

Then, journal what you learn as you take that step. What did you feel? What did you discover about your gifts, your courage, or your resistance? Ask God to meet you in that space and show you how He’s already preparing the way. Small obedience will open doors that striving never could.

329-Understanding the Power of Saying Yes to Yourself

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 01:20:00 -0400

SAYING YES WITH GOD- Saying yes isn’t just about self-permission—it’s about alignment. In this episode, we’ll talk about how saying yes to yourself becomes a way of partnering with God’s will, reducing decision fatigue, and taking the next right step in faith. You’ll learn how to hear what He’s saying, how to recognize when you’re in alignment with Him, and why this matters for you personally and for the clients you coach. And if you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to step into your calling as a coach, this may be your invitation to finally say yes.

Key Takeaways:

Saying yes to yourself creates clarity, reduces mental fatigue, and honors God’s design for your life.
You can discern God’s leading by checking it against His Word, listening for peace, and looking for the fruit of the Spirit.
As a coach, your lived yes models courage and alignment, and it invites clients into their own partnership with God’s will.

Listener Challenge:
This week, pause before a decision—big or small—and ask: “Lord, what’s Your heart in this?” Pay attention to the peace or clarity that rises, and take the next right step by saying yes in faith.

328-Create and Communicate Value That People Will Pay For

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 01:19:00 -0400

VALUE ISN’T A CURRICULUM- When it comes to coaching, a lot of us feel pressure to prove our worth by stacking on more — more hours, more worksheets, more bonuses. But the truth is, people don’t come to you asking for a 20-step plan or an entire curriculum. Coaching is nuanced and client-led. In this episode, I’ll show you how to think about value in a way that’s both simple and powerful, how to communicate it through real-life examples, and why clients are willing to invest when they see transformation in action.

Key Takeaways

Value isn’t about extras — it’s about the shift from confusion to clarity, fear to peace, stuck to action.
Clients don’t need your whole toolbox upfront — they need cultivated value, offered in real-time.
Sharing short, real examples of transformation communicates value better than laying out a whole curriculum.

Listener Challenge
Write down one example from your own coaching (or your personal story if you’re just starting) where someone moved from stuck to clear. Share it out loud this week — with a friend, a peer, or even on social media — and notice how confidently you can communicate value without explaining your whole process.

327-Clarifying Your Core Beliefs in Business

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 01:02:00 -0400

YOUR CORE BELIEFS MATTER- If I asked you right now, “What are your core beliefs?”—could you answer? Most of us can’t, not because we don’t have them, but because we’ve never slowed down to write them out and name them out loud. In this episode, I’ll walk you through ten questions to help uncover your own core beliefs about your audience, transformation, faith, values, and legacy. I’ll share mine as examples, and then you’ll have space to discover yours. Once you clarify your core beliefs, you’ll have a filter for every decision you make and a foundation for the business God is calling you to build.

Key Takeaways

Core beliefs are already shaping how you serve, decide, and lead—even if you haven’t named them yet.
Clarifying your core beliefs gives you a filter for every opportunity, choice, and commitment in your business.
Your beliefs about God, people, and transformation determine the kind of coaching or leadership legacy you’ll leave behind.

Listener Challenge
Work through the ten questions shared in this episode. Write your answers without overthinking. Then pray over them and ask God which beliefs He wants you to stand firm in as you lead, serve, and build your business.

326-Being Someone’s Solution: The Payoff and the Pitfalls

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 16:59:00 -0400

THE PAYOFF AND PITFALLS OF BEING SOMEONE’S SOLUTION-There’s a real emotional payoff when you realize you’ve been part of someone’s solution. It feels good because God designed us for connection and contribution. But what happens when we start chasing that feeling instead of staying rooted in truth? In this episode, we’ll talk about the joy of being a solution, the hidden pitfalls like over-responsibility and the dopamine trap, and how to find the healthy middle ground as a coach and as a woman of faith.

Key Takeaways

Being someone’s solution affirms your value, strengthens connection, and builds legacy.
Pitfalls include tying your worth to helping, overextending, resentment, missed boundaries, and chasing the dopamine “high.”
The healthy middle ground is remembering you’re a vessel, not the source—you’re responsible to people, not for them.

Listener Challenge
Reflect on a recent time you were someone’s solution. Did it bring joy, or did it leave you drained? Pay attention this week to whether you’re offering from overflow or chasing the emotional high.

325-How Coaching Multiplies Your Impact

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 01:47:00 -0400

IMPACT THAT MULTIPLIES BEYOND YOU- Coaching doesn’t just change one life—it creates ripple effects that influence families, communities, and future generations. In this episode, I share a story of a client whose transformation impacted everyone around her, and I explain how the PEARL Practice helps you guide people toward a legacy that lasts.

Key Takeaways:

Coaching creates change that extends far beyond one person.
The Legacy step of PEARL focuses on the bigger picture of a client’s life.
When clients live differently, they influence everyone they touch.

Listener Challenge: Think about someone who has impacted your life for the better. Write down how their influence has spread into different areas of your life, and imagine the ripple effect you could create for someone else through coaching.

324-The Secret to Confidence on Your Coaching Path

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 01:12:00 -0400

BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE CACHE- Confidence doesn’t arrive overnight—it builds. In this episode, I teach the Confidence Cache framework and how stacking action, clarity, and hindsight creates certainty, competency, and readiness for your coaching path.

Key Takeaways:

Confidence begins with willingness, not perfection.
Every action fills your cache with clarity, hindsight, and how.
The emotions you’re after—certainty, competency, readiness—grow as you go.
Listener Challenge: Take one action to add to your cache today—reach out to a practice client, introduce yourself as a coach, or reflect on what you’ve already learned and how it’s shaped you.

Listener Challenge:

Pick one coaching-related action this week that will add to your Confidence Cache. Maybe it’s reaching out to a potential practice client, sharing publicly that you’re a coach, or even journaling what you learned from your last conversation. Then write down the clarity, hindsight, and emotion that came from it. Notice how even one step deposits certainty, competency, and readiness into your cache.

323-From Helper to Coach: Turning Natural Support Into Skilled Guidance

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 01:04:00 -0400

SHARPEN THE GIFT YOU ALREADY HAVE- Being the “helper” in your world is a beautiful gift—but it’s not the same as being a trained coach. In this episode, I’m sharing how I moved from well-meaning conversations that didn’t always create change to skilled guidance that consistently helped people move forward. We’ll look at Proverbs 4:7 and why wisdom plus understanding is the combination every coach needs.

Key Takeaways:

Compassion is powerful, but coaching skills make it sustainable and effective.
Training protects you from burnout and equips you to help in a deeper way.
The PEARL Practice turns natural empathy into a structured path to change.

Listener Challenge: Reflect on the last time you felt drained after helping someone. Write down how that situation might have been different if you had a clear coaching process to follow.

322-The Core Coaching Tool Every Client Needs

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 01:47:00 -0400

A FRAMEWORK THAT ALWAYS FITS- What if you had a tool you could trust in any coaching conversation, no matter the client or the situation? That’s what the PEARL Practice offers. In this episode, I’m sharing the story of a client who went from stuck to clear in one conversation—and how the PEARL steps made it possible. You’ll see why this framework is the foundation of the Christian Life Coach Certification pathway.

Key Takeaways:

A reliable coaching framework creates confidence for both you and your clients.
PEARL works in any niche because it starts with the client’s reality and moves toward their desired legacy.
Coaching is about drawing out clarity, not giving answers.

Listener Challenge: Choose a friend or family member to practice on. Walk them through the PEARL steps informally and notice where clarity emerges for them.

321-Why Your Story Is Your Superpower in Coaching

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 01:01:00 -0400

TURN YOUR STORY INTO IMPACT- Every part of your story—the highs, the lows, the lessons—is a bridge to someone else’s breakthrough. In this episode, I’ll show you how God uses your lived experiences to connect you with the people you’re meant to help. We’ll explore 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 and see how your journey becomes a source of comfort, wisdom, and transformation when paired with the PEARL Practice.

Key Takeaways:

God never wastes your story—your experiences are meant to help others.
Shared understanding builds trust and opens the door to transformation.
The PEARL Practice turns personal connection into actionable change.

Listener Challenge: Write down three life experiences that have shaped you most. Next to each, jot a way it could help someone else who’s facing a similar challenge.

320-The Path to Becoming the Life Coach You Were Born to Be

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 00:58:00 -0400

SAY YES TO THE CALL- You may already be the go-to person in your circle: the one people trust with their struggles and questions. But without the right framework, it’s easy to wonder if you’re truly helping. In this episode, I’m sharing how one kitchen-table conversation showed me the difference between having a heart to help and having the skills to guide someone toward real change. You’ll see why training and certification matter, and how the PEARL Practice gives you a clear, effective way to coach anyone in any situation.

Key Takeaways:

Being called to coach isn’t the same as being prepared to coach.
Training builds skill, confidence, and clarity.
The PEARL Practice provides a repeatable framework you can trust with any client.

Listener Challenge: Think of one recent conversation where you wished you could have helped more. Imagine how it might have gone if you had a proven framework. Write down what would have been different.

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 14:41:37 -0400

OWN YOUR WISDOM AND WATCH IT MULTIPLY - When women stop hiding and start offering the wisdom they’ve earned, everything changes. Let's paint the picture of what’s possible when you show up as the guide you were always becoming. Your wisdom isn’t just yours—it’s meant to be passed on. Start where you are.

Three Takeaways:

Owning your wisdom brings clarity, courage, and legacy.
You don’t need a title to make an impact—you need truth and trust.
Stewardship starts with naming what you know and offering it in love.

318-The Coach's Creative Cycle

Sat, 02 Aug 2025 02:14:00 -0400

THE COACH’S CREATIVE CYCLE– In this episode, I’m walking you through the Coach's Creative Cycle: a simple framework that shows how to turn your lived experience into a coaching container that transforms others. This is exactly what we do inside the Consultant Coach Intensive.

Key Takeaways:

Coaching is a way to carry your message, not just speak it.
The five stages of the Coaching Cycle are: Cultivate, Clarify, Craft, Create, and Carry Out.
You don’t need a platform- you need a person to serve, and a message to guide them.

Listener Challenge:
What phase of the Coaching Cycle are you in right now? Journal about what you’re cultivating- or DM me and tell me. I’d love to hear where you're at.

317-Marketing, Websites, and Visibility for Christian Coaches with Courtney Jones

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 01:26:00 -0400

YOUR MESSAGE NEEDS A HOME- You know you’re called to coach, but getting visible online can feel overwhelming — especially when it comes to branding, websites, and actually marketing what you do. In this conversation with Courtney from The Little Creative Co., we talk about the deeper reasons behind visibility resistance, how to think about your website as a home for your message, and why building a brand isn’t about being flashy — it’s about being clear, consistent, and faithful to what God’s asked you to carry.

Key Takeaways

Your website isn’t just a digital resume — it’s a tool to help the right people find you and trust you.
Marketing is ministry when it’s rooted in service, clarity, and obedience.
Visibility grows your impact when your brand and message are aligned.

Listener Challenge
Audit your online presence. Is your website clear about who you serve and how you help? Does your Instagram bio reflect your coaching offer? Take one step this week to align your message with your mission, whether that’s updating your site, writing a bio, or asking for feedback on your brand.

Ask yourself where you feel uncomfortable becoming visible and trace it back to why? What are you afraid of? Who are you afraid of? (Listen to my StoryMakers Podcast episode #23-Staying True to Yourself Without Fear of Rejection, Abandonment, and Disconnection if you are struggling with this.)

316-Coaching as a Passion Project and Side Hustle

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 01:41:00 -0400

YOU DON’T HAVE TO QUIT TO BEGIN- Coaching doesn’t have to be your full-time job to make a meaningful impact. In this episode, I’m sharing how to start coaching as a side hustle while working full-time, part-time, homeschooling, or simply juggling real life. Whether you're in a corporate role, leading a ministry, or in a season of transition, this episode will help you see how coaching can fit into your current life—not replace it.

Key Takeaways:

You can start coaching with just a few hours a week—intentionality matters more than time.
Coaching isn’t a replacement for your career—it’s a bridge to deeper connection and impact.
You don’t need to build fast or big—faithful, small beginnings can grow something beautiful.

Listener Challenge:
What’s one coaching offer you could create that fits into this season of your life? Sketch out a simple idea—a 3-session package, a one-month group, or a Saturday clarity call—and imagine what it could open up for you.

315-How to Add Coaching to Your Existing Biz or Ministry

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 01:51:00 -0400

ADD COACHING TO WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY DOING - You don’t have to become someone new to become a coach. In this episode, we’ll talk about how to add coaching to your existing work as a writer, speaker, ministry leader, or therapist. When you blend what you already offer with a coaching mindset, you create space for deeper transformation and sustainable impact.

Key Takeaways:

Coaching is a container for transformation—not a replacement for what you do.
You can start small: one offer, one group, one client.
Your current audience is probably already looking for more—they just need a way to access it.

Listener Challenge:
Reflect on how your existing work could make space for coaching. What would a simple first offer look like?

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 01:30:00 -0400

REAL-WORLD ROLES- If you've ever wondered how your life experience could become a coaching offer, this episode is about the Consultant Coach model- how you can blend wisdom, strategy, and mentorship into a sustainable business that helps others grow. I’ll walk you through specific niche examples that combine listening and guiding with teaching and advising. Whether you're drawn to business, parenting, ministry, or purpose work, there's a way to build an offer that reflects your story and serves someone else’s transformation.

You can build a niche that fits your real life. Whether you’re a ministry leader, homeschool mom, entrepreneur, or creative, your story already holds the seeds of your offer.

Listener Challenge:
Pick one niche that resonated with you most and write down why. What have you lived, learned, or led others through that could become part of your offer? Then ask yourself: Who needs what I now carry and what would it look like to serve them well?

312-You're Already Doing It (You Just Haven't Been Paid Yet)

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 01:22:00 -0400

WHAT YOU DO NATURALLY IS VALUABLE - Let’s be honest: if you’ve been mentoring, encouraging, guiding, and holding space for the people around you, you’re already doing the work of a coach. The only difference? You haven’t been paid for it… yet. This episode will help you recognize the value of what you’re already doing and begin to shift from “helpful friend” to “paid guide” with clarity and confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Coaching isn’t something you start from scratch—it’s something you name and shape.
You’ve probably been building your skills in everyday conversations for years.
Shifting into a paid role is more about ownership than worthiness.

Listener Challenge:
Write down five situations where you showed up like a coach in your everyday life. What did you do? How did you help? What would it look like to treat that with the same value as paid work?

311-How to Know If You're Called to Coach

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 01:19:00 -0400

CALLED TO COACH? LET’S FIND OUT- Have you ever felt a tug in your spirit—like coaching might be your next right step, but you’re not sure if you’re “qualified” or “ready”? In this episode, we’ll explore the signs that point to a coaching call and help you tune into what God might already be stirring in your heart. Because if you’ve been showing up, listening deeply, and guiding others naturally… this might be confirmation of what’s already true.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

A coaching call often shows up as a question more than a declaration.
You don’t need a stage—you need a heart for people and a desire to grow.
Pay attention to what others thank you for—it often reveals your role.

Listener Challenge:
Write down the last 3 times someone thanked you for something meaningful. What did you do? How did you show up? What pattern do you see?

310-Cultivating Your Story as Your Strategy

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 02:28:00 -0400

USE WHAT YOU’VE LIVED- You don’t need a fancy funnel or a big brand to start coaching. What you need is your story. In this episode, I’ll show you why your lived experience is your greatest asset as a guide—and how to steward it with integrity, clarity, and boldness. You already have everything you need to begin showing up for the people who need your wisdom.

Key Takeaways:

Your story is not a detour- it’s actually the doorway.
People connect with who you are more than what you’ve studied.
Stewarding your story means mining it for meaning, but not staying stuck in it.

309-What Coaching Is and Isn't

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 02:57:00 -0400

COACHING IS AND COACHING IS NOT- Let’s clear up any confusion. Coaching isn’t just a set of questions or a shiny certificate. And it’s not therapy or cheerleading either. This episode will help you understand what coaching really is—at its core—and why it matters. Whether you’re brand new or seasoned but unsure how to explain what you do, this is the anchor you need.

Key Takeaways:

Coaching is a transformative relationship rooted in presence, not performance.
It’s not your job to fix or rescue—your job is to reflect, hold space, and invite growth.
Real coaching helps people access their own wisdom with your support—not your answers.

Listener Challenge:
Ask one person in your life, “What do you think coaching is?” Then consider how you’d describe what it actually is and what it’s not.

308-The Difference Between Coaching Niche and Coaching Method

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 03:29:00 -0400

CLARITY FOR COACHING & MARKETING- Ever wonder what the difference is between a coaching niche and a coaching method? This episode breaks down the difference between who you serve and how you help them get results. I’ll walk you through how your niche functions as a marketing invitation, and how your method delivers the transformation. If you’re a coach trying to find clarity in your business, this is your blueprint.

Key Takeaways:

Your niche is about who you help and what problem you solve - your coaching method is how you get them results.
A clear niche helps people self-identify and say, “That’s for me.”
Your coaching method should reflect your values, story, and the transformation your client desires.

Listener Challenge: Think on your answers to these questions-

Who do I feel most called to serve, and what problem are they trying to solve?
What process naturally flows from me when I help someone through this?
Am I trying to sell my process or meet a person where they are?

Refining your niche and method can unlock your confidence, your content, and your client results.

307-Myth #20: Success Means Working With as Many Clients as Possible

Thu, 29 May 2025 05:33:00 -0400

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY IN COACHING- This episode challenges the myth that a full calendar equals a successful business. I’m inviting you to rethink the way you measure growth — and giving you permission to serve fewer clients with deeper impact and sustainable energy. Let’s stop chasing numbers and start building meaningful relationships that bear fruit.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A smaller client load can actually lead to greater transformation.
Saying no protects your energy, your excellence, and your joy.
Focus on meaningful, committed relationships over filling every spot.

LISTENER CHALLENGE
Take 10 minutes this week to review your current client load and ask:

Is this pace sustainable?
Do I feel energized or drained?
Are my clients getting my best?
Would fewer clients actually allow for more impact?
Does this match the kind of life and business I want to build?

If you’re a newer coach, consider how you will scale down over time if you begin by working with everyone who comes your way.

306-Myth #19: If a Client Isn’t Succeeding, I’m Failing as a Coach

Thu, 22 May 2025 01:10:00 -0400

YOU’RE NOT THEIR SAVIOR- What if your client’s lack of progress doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong? In this episode, we’re untangling the false belief that a client’s outcome is your responsibility. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “fix” someone or guilt when results don’t show up, this is your permission slip to breathe. You are not the hero of their story—you’re the guide. And that role is more than enough. If you’ve felt the weight of your client’s progress on your own shoulders, today’s episode is a reminder you need. You’ll hear truth, encouragement, and a gentle but clear boundary about what’s yours to carry: and what’s not.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

You are not responsible for your client’s outcomes—you are responsible for your coaching process and presence.
Progress doesn’t always look like action. Holding space and planting seeds is powerful, even if fruit comes later.
Releasing false responsibility helps you coach from peace, not pressure.

LISTENER CHALLENGE:
Take five minutes to reflect on one client success story and write it down. Let it ground you in what’s true about your coaching and your impact. Then release anything you’ve been carrying that was never yours to hold.

305-Myth #18: I Need a Huge Audience to Be Successful

Thu, 15 May 2025 00:10:00 -0400

SMALL FOLLOWING : BIG IMPACT- If you've ever believed that your success as a coach or content creator hinges on building a massive social media following, this episode will free you. The truth? Numbers don't equal trust—and it's trust that turns followers into clients. I’m sharing a better strategy for impact that starts with meaningful connection.

Key takeaways:

A small, engaged audience can be more profitable than a large, passive one.
Authentic conversations and email connections often outperform the algorithm.
You don’t need a viral moment. You need real people who trust your voice.

Listener Challenge:

If you’re not up for the social media wild goose chase, choose one of the no-social strategies and try it this week:

Invite three women to a free coffee chat
Email five people and tell them what you're doing
Print a one-page guide and bring it to an event

And if you're still on social, and you love being there, engage with just five people in your niche- but this time, do it with the goal of connection, not collection.

304-Myth #17: To Be Legit, I Need a Big Launch, Fancy Website, or Proven Program

Thu, 08 May 2025 00:44:00 -0400

START SMALL, SERVE WELL- The belief that you need a big launch or perfectly packaged offer before you can begin coaching or be legit in the industry will HOLD YOU BACK. If you've ever felt stuck because your website isn’t done or your program isn’t built out, this is your permission slip to begin anyway. Your story, your voice, and your willingness are more than enough to serve one person well- and that’s how a meaningful coaching business truly starts.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You don’t need a fancy launch or full program to begin coaching—start by serving one person.
Big doesn’t mean better; clarity and momentum come through action.
Trust and impact are built through presence, not polish.

LISTENER CHALLENGE

Take one small, visible step today that says, “I’ve started.”

This could be offering a free session to someone you trust, posting a simple invitation on social media, texting a friend and saying, “I’m opening up coaching spots,” or writing your story in a way that invites others in.

Don’t overthink it. Don’t wait until it’s perfect.

Let action lead the way — and let faith carry the rest.

303-Myth 16: I Don't Want to Say I’m a Coach Until My Message and Process are Perfected

Thu, 01 May 2025 00:09:00 -0400

CLARITY COMES FROM ACTION- Not from waiting and thinking and perfecting. So if you’ve ever hesitated to call yourself a coach until your message was crystal clear and your process was perfectly mapped out, this episode is for you. We’re breaking the myth that you have to have it all figured out before you can begin.

Your clarity grows as you go : not before you start.

Key Takeaways:

You don’t need a perfect message or framework to start coaching- coaching begins with real conversations, not a branded process.
Clarity is a result of courageous action, not a requirement before it.
Your process and your voice will mature as you coach, not before- give yourself permission to grow publicly.

Listener Challenge:
Announce your coaching services to your spheres of influence, even (especially) if you feel unprepared.

Offer a discovery call about coaching and/or one free session to someone who needs help.
Draft a simple, informal email to a friend or colleague explaining what you do and how you can help.
Reflect: What did you learn? What surprised you? How did taking action make you feel?

302-Myth #15: I Should Always Be ‘On' and Available for Every Client

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 00:00:00 -0400

HEALTHY BOUNDARIES HELP EVERYONE- What if the very thing you’re avoiding - boundaries - is actually the thing that would make you a better coach? In this episode, we’re talking about why boundaries matter, how to set them, and what happens when you don’t. If you’ve ever felt like being accessible all the time is part of your “value,” let’s untangle that myth right now. Your sanity, your sleep, and your clients will thank you.

3 Key Takeaways:

Being overly available to clients often leads to burnout, not better results.
Boundaries don’t repel clients - they actually attract the right ones and model emotional health.
You can serve with more joy and clarity when your time and energy are protected.

Listener Challenge:

Decide on your official availability (even just messaging hours or session blocks) and communicate them to current or future clients. Post it where they’ll see it. You’re allowed to protect your peace.

301-Myth #14: Free Coaching Will Lead to Paying Clients

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 00:18:00 -0400

VALUE HAS A COST- While free stuff can open some doors, it can also quietly devalue your work and train people to expect transformation without commitment. I'll explain in this episode how you can offer free value and when, teach you how to create a big-hearted entrepreneur benevolence plan, and inspire you to grow your business with integrity and clarity in a way that supports your calling and blesses others.

Key Takeaways:

Free isn’t always valuable — People often don’t commit to what they get for free. Without investment, there’s usually little transformation or follow-through.
Your time is a premium offering — You don’t need to give away sessions to prove your value. Share insights in scalable ways like guides, webinars, or content.
Use free strategically, not excessively — Limit discovery calls and use them as previews, not full coaching sessions. Let your funnel lead to paid commitment, not endless free offers.

Listener Challenge:
Instead of offering free sessions, create a piece of free content that shows your value and leads to a paid offer. It could be a short guide, a mini course, a webinar invite, or a checklist. Post it and promote it—and watch how people engage when they’re offered direction instead of a freebie.

Write your own 3-sentence response for when someone asks for free coaching. Then write a short note to yourself for the moments you’re tempted to give it all away.

300-Myth #13: Creating Boundaries Now Will Help Me Protect Myself Later

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 00:35:00 -0400

BOUNDARIES BUILT ON FEAR FAIL- In this episode of the Christian Life Coach Collective, we tackle the common belief that setting up strict boundaries before you even begin coaching will protect you from burnout, harm, or difficult clients. While boundaries are essential, many new coaches set limits based on fear—not experience or calling.

You’ll learn how to discern between protective wisdom and projected fear, and how to build boundaries that serve your purpose, not shrink it.

3 Key Takeaways:

Fear-based boundaries can keep you from stepping into what God is calling you to do.
Real boundaries are built through experience, not assumptions.
Healthy boundaries should grow from your values and purpose—not from projected “what ifs.”

Listener Challenge:

Take inventory this week:
Where have you set boundaries based on fear or imagined scenarios?
Ask God to show you what needs to stay, what needs to shift, and what walls can come down so that you can lead and serve in freedom.

299-Myth #12: Selling Is Selfish... and Coaching Is Supposed to Be Selfless

Thu, 03 Apr 2025 00:32:00 -0400

SELLING IS SERVING, NOT SELFISH- Many Christian coaches struggle with the idea of charging for their services, believing that helping others should be offered freely. In this episode, we bust the myth that selling your coaching is selfish and reframe it as an act of service. We talk about overcoming the guilt around sales, how to confidently offer your services, and why charging is essential for sustainable, life-changing impact.

3 Key Takeaways:

Selling your coaching is not selfish—it’s how you serve others sustainably.
When you reframe sales as offering solutions, the fear and guilt start to fade.
Charging for your services gives you the capacity to stay in your calling long-term.

Listener Challenge:

Write your “solution statement” using this format:
“I help [specific person] go from [struggle] to [outcome] by [your method].”
Then, share it with someone or post it to social media to boldly own the value of what you offer.

298-Myth #11- Doing It All Myself Will Save Money

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 15:49:36 -0400

DOING IT ALL ALONE ISN'T FRUITFUL- It's easy to believe that doing everything yourself is the best way to save money when starting or growing your coaching business. It might feel like a smart move to DIY your website, social media, and bookkeeping, but the truth is, trying to handle it all can cost you more in the long run: more time, more stress, and even lost income. You’ll hear how doing too much affected my own coaching journey, and why focusing on your strengths while outsourcing the rest is actually the smartest investment you can make.

Key Takeaways:

Your time is your most valuable asset—spending it outside your zone of genius drains energy and delays growth.
Outsourcing isn’t just an expense—it’s a strategic investment that helps you serve more clients and make more money.
In the early stages of your business, fancy tools and branding aren’t necessary—what you really need is paying clients and real experience.

Listener Challenge:
Grab a pen and paper. List out three tasks you’re currently doing that could be delegated or outsourced. Think about what’s draining your time and energy—maybe it’s admin work, designing graphics, or managing your inbox. Now, take one step toward getting help with at least one of them this week—whether that’s asking for a referral, checking out Fiverr, or posting in a coaching group for support.

297-Myth #10: If I'm a Great Coach, Clients Will Automatically Find Me

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 08:36:56 -0400

MARKETING IS A MUST- Busting a major myth in the coaching industry: "If I'm a great coach, clients will automatically find me." Many new coaches believe that being skilled is enough, but running a coaching business means understanding marketing, visibility, and outreach. In this episode, we’ll break down why coaching is different from a coaching business, why marketing is not a dirty word, and practical steps to attract the right clients. If you’ve been waiting for clients to show up without putting yourself out there, this episode will be the wake-up call you need.

Key Takeaways:

Marketing is not manipulative—it’s simply sharing how you help people. If people don’t know what you do, how can they choose to work with you?
Being a great coach doesn’t guarantee clients. Businesses require marketing, networking, and visibility to attract and retain customers.
You must decide what kind of coaching career you want. Do you want to work for someone else or build a business that allows you to work for yourself?

Listener Challenge: Take action today!

Write down three ways you can intentionally market yourself this week- whether it’s posting valuable content, reaching out to potential clients, asking for referrals, or networking with others.
Identify one platform where you can experiment consistently sharing your expertise (blog, podcast, YouTube, social media, or speaking engagements).
Say out loud: "I’m a life coach, and I help people." Then, tell at least one person what you do and how you can help them.

Resources Mentioned:

296-Myth #9: Self-Doubt and Imposter Syndrome Prove I Shouldn’t Coach

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 09:44:51 -0400

SELF DOUBT- Do you ever feel like you’re not qualified enough to coach others? That any moment, someone will “find out” you’re not as capable as they think? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re tackling the myth that self-doubt means you lack credibility, capability, or calling. We’ll unpack the truth about imposter syndrome, why it’s actually a sign of growth, and how you can build confidence through action.

Key Takeaways:

Self-Doubt Doesn’t Disqualify You – Imposter syndrome is common, especially for high achievers. Feeling uncertain doesn’t mean you lack value—it means you care about doing your best.
Your Impact Is Greater Than Your Fear – Instead of focusing on what you lack, reflect on the ways you’ve already made a difference. Keeping a "confidence folder" with past wins can remind you of your impact.
Confidence Comes from Action – Growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. The more you show up, the more you prove to yourself (and others) that you are capable.

Listener Challenge:
Take a moment today to combat imposter syndrome:

Write down three moments when you’ve made a difference for a client.
Reflect on how those moments demonstrate your value as a coach.
Share one of those wins publicly—on social media, in a blog post, or with a friend—to inspire others and reinforce your confidence.

295-Myth #8: I Can't Charge Much for Just ‘Talking’ or ‘Listening’ To People

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 07:32:08 -0500

PRICES REFLECT VALUE, NOT TIME- Many coaches struggle with pricing their services because they believe they’re simply “talking” to people. In this episode, we bust the myth that coaching isn’t worth premium pricing and explore why your fees should reflect the transformation you provide, not just the time you spend. Learn how to confidently communicate your value, set prices that match your impact, and shift your mindset from trading time for money to charging based on results.

Key Takeaways:

Coaching isn’t just about conversation—it’s about transformation. Your clients aren’t paying for your time; they’re paying for the clarity, breakthroughs, and action plans you help them create.
Undercharging devalues your work and leads to burnout. Pricing should reflect the depth of the impact you provide.
Confidence in your pricing starts with understanding the real results you deliver. Clearly communicate the benefits of working with you. If you aren't quite sure in the beginning, ask your clients to get language for the results they are getting!
Shift from charging for time to charging for results. Packages, programs, and higher pricing models help you earn more without overworking.

Listener Challenge:

Take a moment to assess your current pricing. Does it truly reflect the value you provide? If not, rewrite your pricing based on transformation, not time. Then, practice using this value-based pricing script when discussing your fees with potential clients:

"My coaching program isn’t just about our sessions together—it’s about the transformation you’ll experience. Clients who work with me [achieve specific result] within [timeframe]. The investment for this level of support is [$X], because I’m committed to helping you get real, lasting results."

Say it out loud, practice with a friend, or even record yourself saying it. Then, share your biggest insight from today’s episode on social media and tag me!

294-Myth #7: Anyone Can Be My Ideal Client

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 16:52:00 -0500

YOU'RE NOBODY'S ALL IN ALL- Defining your ideal client changes everything in your coaching business. While a niche tells people what you do, your ideal client defines exactly who you serve, making your messaging clearer and more compelling. In this episode, we break down the biggest myths about ideal clients, why coaches resist niching down, and how getting specific actually attracts more of the right people. You'll hear real-world examples of how clarity transforms your marketing and business growth. Plus, I’ll walk you through a step-by-step process to define your ideal client so you can start speaking directly to the people who need you most.

Key Takeaways:

A niche defines what you do, but an ideal client defines who you serve—getting clear on both makes marketing and messaging much easier.
Fear of excluding people often holds coaches back, but specificity actually attracts more of the right clients who truly resonate with your work.
Defining your ideal client is about speaking directly to their struggles, goals, and desires—when you do that, they instantly recognize you as the coach for them.

Listener Challenge:

✏ Write a detailed description of your ideal client. Think about:

Who they are (age, background, life stage).
What they struggle with.
What they want most.
How you can help them.

Once you do that, take it one step further: Write a single sentence that describes who you help and how. For example: "I help [specific type of person] achieve [specific goal] by [your coaching method].” Then, share it! Post it on social media, send it to me in a message, or tell someone about it. The more clarity you have, the easier it will be to attract the right clients—the ones who need what you offer most.

293-Myth #6: Niche Work is Limiting and Helps Less People

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 00:27:00 -0500

SPECIAL FOCUS- Many coaches hesitate to narrow their niche, fearing it will limit their opportunities, but the reality is that specialization is the key to attracting the right clients. In this episode, we explore why choosing a niche helps you stand out, create a sustainable business, and make a bigger impact. I share my own journey from general life coaching to coaching women in leadership and coaching life coaches in business and mindset. You’ll learn why niching is a marketing strategy, not a coaching method, and how experimenting with different clients can help you gain clarity over time. Plus, I’ll give you a practical challenge to help you start defining your niche today!

Key Takeaways:

Niching down doesn’t limit opportunities—it attracts the right clients who truly need and value what you offer.
Specialization leads to sustainability because you’re more passionate and consistent when working in areas you truly care about.
Clarity comes from experience, so don’t wait to start—serve clients, refine your skills, and pay attention to what feels most fulfilling.

Listener Challenge:

Take some time today to reflect on your specific focus and specialty. Write down three results you’d like to help people get and list their biggest pain points in getting them. What problems do they need solved? What transformations are they looking for? Once you have that clarity, think about how you can start speaking directly to them in your marketing and messaging. Post your thoughts, share them with a peer, or even send me a message- I’d love to hear what you discover!

292-Myth #5- Coaching is Only For Stuck People with Big Problems

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 00:31:00 -0500

SEE POTENTIAL: NOT PROBLEMS- Coaching isn’t just for those feeling stuck or dealing with challenges- it’s for anyone who wants to grow, optimize their potential, and take their success to the next level. In this episode, we debunk the myth that coaching is only for people who feel stuck and explore why the most accomplished leaders, athletes, and entrepreneurs all invest in coaching. You’ll learn how shifting your mindset around coaching can unlock new levels of clarity, performance, and success. Plus, I’ll challenge you to reflect on where you could benefit from coaching and how you can position it as a tool for growth, not just problem-solving.

Key Takeaways:

Coaching isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about unlocking potential and accelerating success for high achievers.
The most successful people in the world have coaches because they know outside perspective leads to greater clarity, efficiency, and growth.
Reframing coaching as a performance tool, rather than a last resort, helps shift the narrative and attract clients who want to optimize their success.

Listener Challenge:

Take a moment to reflect on your own mindset about coaching. Do you see it as something for people in crisis, or as a tool for growth? Write down one area of your life or work where you know you could benefit from an outside perspective. What would having a coach in that area help you achieve? If you’re feeling bold, share your insights with someone else or journal about what’s holding you back from seeking coaching support. The more we open ourselves up to the idea of growth, the more we allow success to take root. Come up with language that helps you craft your own messaging that emphasizes coaching as a path to growth, not just problem-solving.

291-Myth #4: Coaching is Just Giving Advice or Teaching

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 00:22:00 -0500

COACHING VS ADVICE- Coaching isn’t about giving advice or being the expert with all the answers. It’s about empowering clients to discover their own solutions by asking powerful questions and listening deeply. This episode explores how to guide clients toward self-discovery and why this approach leads to lasting transformation.

My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger… James 1:19

Key Takeaways:

Giving advice creates dependency, while asking questions fosters empowerment and growth.
Open-ended questions and active listening help clients uncover their own motivations and solutions.
Providing tools and frameworks equips clients to navigate challenges independently.

Listener Challenge:
In your next coaching session, practice asking open-ended questions and give your client the space to process. Avoid offering advice or solutions—focus on empowering them to find their own answers. Pay attention to how this approach changes the dynamic and strengthens their confidence.

290-Myth #3: Coaching Is Like Therapy

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 00:13:00 -0500

COACHING VS COUNSELING- Coaching and therapy are not the same—and that’s a good thing! Coaching is about forward momentum, while therapy often dives into healing from the past. In this episode, we’ll explore how to honor these differences, serve your clients ethically, and stay confidently in your coaching lane.

Key Takeaways:

Coaching focuses on the present and future, while therapy works on healing from the past.
It’s essential to recognize when a client needs therapy and refer them to the right professionals.
Staying within your scope of practice protects both you and your client while enhancing trust.

Listener Challenge:
Create a referral list of therapists or counselors this week. Take time to connect with them, so you’re ready to refer clients who need support outside of coaching. It’s a small step that makes a big impact.

289-Myth #2: I Need Lots of Certifications Before I Can Start Coaching

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 00:37:00 -0500

NOT READY YET- Let’s talk about how easy it is to feel like you need one more certification before you’re “ready” to coach. But the truth? Real-life coaching experience and results speak louder than a list of credentials. This episode is all about breaking free from that mindset and stepping into action now, not later.

Key Takeaways:

Certifications are helpful, but they can become an excuse to procrastinate.
Clients care more about your ability to create results than the letters after your name.
The best way to grow as a coach is to coach—experience is the ultimate teacher.

Listener Challenge:
Coach one person this week, even if it’s for free. Focus on listening, asking questions, and getting feedback. You’ll learn far more from this than another certification course.

288-Myth #1: I Don’t Have It All Together- That Disqualifies Me As a Coach

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 13:28:55 -0500

DISQUALIFYING YOURSELF- We are talking about why the idea of being "perfect" or "expert" as a coach is both unrealistic and unnecessary. It’s about guiding others, not being flawless yourself. Embracing your imperfections makes you more relatable and effective as a coach.

Key Takeaways:

Coaching isn’t about being the perfect example; it’s about creating a safe space for others to explore their own growth.
Your messy middle make you more relatable and help build trust with your clients.
Taking imperfect action is the key to progress—both for you and your clients.

Listener Challenge:

Create a list of 3–5 areas where you’re still growing. Reflect on how these areas help you connect with your clients.
Share authentically about one of your growth areas on social media, in a conversation, or in your journal.
Take one imperfect action this week to move forward, even if it feels uncomfortable.

282-How to Tap Into Your Inner Spark and Ignite Inspiration

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 11:55:17 -0500

INSPIRATION- Let's explore the difference between inspiration and motivation, discuss how to tap into that magical spark of inspiration, and share practical strategies to stay inspired in everyday life. Take the listener challenge to help you ignite your inner spark this week!

***VIParts of this episode to refer to: Key Takeaways

1. Inspiration Fuels Ideas; Motivation Drives Action

- Inspiration is an internal spark of creativity and possibility, while motivation is the external force that propels you to take action. Both are essential, but understanding their roles can help you harness them effectively.

2. Fresh Experiences Are Key to Unlocking Inspiration

- Engaging with new environments, ideas, or creative works stimulates the brain to form new connections, making it easier to discover inspiration.

3. Space and Reflection Allow Inspiration to Flourish

- Sometimes the best ideas come when you step back, meditate, or allow your mind to wander. Intentionally setting aside downtime can lead to breakthroughs.

Listener Challenge

This week, spend 20 minutes exploring something new—a new book, neighborhood, genre of music, or topic. Jot down how it made you feel and whether it sparked any ideas or shifts in perspective.

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, love, and self-control.”

Isaiah 40:31 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Psalm 19:1: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

280-Reconciling Crisis in Spirit, Soul, and Body

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 18:02:00 -0500

HOPE IN THE STORM- Let's explore the dynamics of being a triune being—body, soul, and spirit—during times of crisis and trauma. Learn how to reconcile the tension between your spirit, rooted in divine truth, and your soul, which may be grappling with pain, grief, or fear. Through scripture, reflection, and practical steps, discover how to anchor yourself in God's presence, even in the midst of life’s storms.

Three Key Takeaways:

Understanding the Triune Nature of Humanity:
We are made up of spirit (our connection to God), soul (mind, will, emotions, personality), and body. While our spirit holds eternal truths, our soul and body often react to external circumstances. It’s normal for them to feel out of sync, but anchoring ourselves in the spirit brings alignment and peace.
The Role of Free Will in Suffering:
Suffering exists because of free will, given to humanity so we could choose love and relationship with God. Even amidst pain, God’s ultimate plan of redemption offers hope and an eternal perspective beyond our present hardships.
Encouragement for the Soul in Crisis:
Condemnation is not from God. While conviction lovingly calls us toward Him, shame pushes us away. By leaning into God’s truth, allowing the spirit to lead, and practicing intentional acts of faith—like speaking scripture over your life—we can navigate the emotional storms with peace and hope.

Listener Challenge:
This week, reflect on Psalm 23:6: "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." Write it down, set it as a reminder on your phone, or speak it aloud daily. Allow this truth to be written on your heart. As you meditate on it, journal how it changes your perspective in difficult moments.

279-Top 10 Things to NOT Say to Someone in Crisis

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 01:54:00 -0400

HOPE IN THE STORM-

Let’s explore how to truly support someone in crisis by understanding what not to say. Even well-meaning words can unintentionally hurt or create distance when someone is going through an intense, personal struggle. By avoiding certain phrases and focusing on empathy, we can offer genuine comfort that doesn’t inadvertently invalidate their experience.

Key Takeaways:

Avoid Minimizing Language – Phrases like “It could be worse” or “Everything happens for a reason” can feel dismissive and minimize the person’s experience. Instead, validate their pain by acknowledging the difficulty of their situation.
Offer Tangible Support – Saying “Let me know how I can help” often puts the burden on the person in crisis. Instead, offer specific help, like cooking a meal, running errands, or simply being present.
Focus on Listening, Not Fixing – Sometimes, trying to “fix” the situation with positive thinking or comparisons can be counterproductive. Simply listening and letting the person express their emotions can be the most supportive thing you can do. Learn how to get comfortable with negative emotions so you don’t feel the need to ‘fix’ the moment or the person.

Listener Challenge: Next time someone you know is facing a crisis, practice empathy without giving advice or solutions. Instead, try asking questions like, “How are you feeling right now?” or “Would you like to talk more about it?” Make space for their emotions without attempting to guide them toward a “silver lining.”

278-Navigating Survivor's Guilt

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 09:30:26 -0400

HOPE IN THE STORM- Survivor’s guilt is a complex emotional response that people may experience after surviving a traumatic event where others did not. Whether someone has survived an accident, illness, or natural disaster, this guilt can leave lasting psychological effects that complicate the healing process. In this post, we'll explore what survivor's guilt is, the symptoms that accompany it, ways to heal from it, and how biblical truths can provide comfort and guidance. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of survivor's guilt—a heavy burden many carry after witnessing tragedy, loss, or disaster. We’ll explore what survivor’s guilt looks like, how to recognize the signs, pathways to healing, and how biblical truths can offer peace and comfort.

Key Takeaways

Survivor’s Guilt and Its Manifestations
Survivor’s guilt can include intrusive thoughts, sadness, shame, anxiety, and sometimes physical symptoms. Recognizing these signs can be the first step in working toward healing and understanding that these reactions are part of processing trauma.
Healing Through Self-Compassion and Support
Healing requires acknowledging your emotions, reaching out for support, and extending self-compassion. A support network can offer unique perspectives and help you release feelings of guilt and self-blame.
Finding Comfort in Biblical Truths
Passages like Psalm 34:18 remind us that God is close to the brokenhearted, offering comfort and a sense of purpose even when emotions seem overwhelming. Recognizing that we are part of God’s larger plan can provide peace and hope to move forward.

Listener Challenge

If you or someone you know is struggling with survivor’s guilt, try to recognize one positive action you can take today to honor what’s been lost. Whether it’s reaching out to a loved one, helping a friend, or taking a moment for self-reflection, small acts can begin to restore hope and a sense of purpose.

277-Healing Compassion Fatigue

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 11:44:32 -0400

HOPE IN THE STORM- Let's continue our journey of finding hope in the storm, specifically focusing on healing from compassion fatigue. We discussed how to recognize the signs of compassion fatigue and now explore the critical steps to healing from it. Whether you are a professional caregiver, parent, or simply someone who finds themselves giving too much for too long, this episode is for you.

Acknowledge and Accept Compassion Fatigue
Self-awareness is the first step to healing. Recognizing that you are experiencing compassion fatigue allows you to begin processing through it. Understanding that it's not a personal failure but rather a result of caring too much for too long is critical to beginning recovery.
Set Boundaries and Practice Self-Care
Compassion fatigue often stems from a lack of personal boundaries. It's essential to distinguish between what is your responsibility to care for and what is not. Establishing healthy boundaries and prioritizing self-care—from rest and hobbies to emotional and physical recovery—is crucial for restoration.
Reconnect with Your ‘Why’
Reflect on the deeper reasons why you care in the first place. Remembering your initial motivation for caregiving can help reignite the sense of purpose and fulfillment in your role. This can serve as a buffer against compassion fatigue and help you stay connected to the satisfaction that caregiving can bring.

Listener Challenge:

Take 15 minutes today to reflect on what areas in your life may be contributing to compassion fatigue. Write down one boundary you can set and one act of self-care you will implement this week. Whether it's taking a break, getting outside, or saying no to extra responsibilities, commit to restoring balance in your life.

276-Recognizing Compassion Fatigue

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 12:43:27 -0400

HOPE IN THE STORM- In this episode, we dive into the critical topic of compassion fatigue—what it is and how to identify it. Compassion fatigue is the emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion many caregivers face when exposed to prolonged distress. Whether you're a healthcare worker, first responder, parent, or caregiver, understanding this concept is essential for maintaining both personal well-being and the quality of care you provide.

Listener Challenge:

Take time this week to assess whether you’re experiencing any symptoms of compassion fatigue. Reflect on how much care you’re giving to others versus the time you’re taking to recharge yourself. Start by implementing one small act of self-care every day—whether it’s taking a walk, eating a nutritious meal, or setting a boundary to protect your energy.

Additionally, observe those around you—friends, coworkers, or family members—who may also be struggling with compassion fatigue. Consider offering a listening ear or practical help. Sometimes, just being there for someone can make a huge difference.

We are delving into the importance of recognizing and accepting the negative feelings and thoughts you deal with, understanding the connection between emotions and beliefs, and the significance of releasing emotions in a healthy way.

Whether you're a new coach or looking to refine your current offers, I'm talking about how to craft a coaching package that stands out, provides immense value, and attracts the right clients. We’ll explore different types of packages, how to implement bonuses and resources, and actionable steps to enhance the overall client experience.

Key Takeaways:

Personalization is Key to High-Value Packages
High-value coaching packages provide clients with personalized attention, tailored resources, and ongoing support. Whether through one-on-one coaching, accountability tools, or exclusive content, your clients should feel their needs are directly addressed and their goals prioritized.
Incorporate Bonuses and Resources
Enhance your packages with bonuses that add real value—think digital toolkits, exclusive content, or personalized welcome packages. Providing ongoing support post-package can further set you apart by ensuring clients feel supported, even after the coaching engagement ends.
Tailor Your Coaching Package to Client Needs
Structure your packages based on the results clients want to achieve and how long it typically takes to reach those goals. From weekly sessions to VIP days, ensure the frequency, duration, and format of your coaching is designed for their success.

Listener Challenge: Take some time this week to brainstorm two different high-value coaching packages you could offer your clients. Focus on personalization, support, and resources. Once you have them mapped out, consider testing both to see which one resonates more with your audience. Ready for the next step? Share your package ideas on social media and tag me—I’d love to see what you create! IG @coachlauramalone

272-Stepping Into the Righteousness of Christ

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 09:30:00 -0400

CONNECTING WITH GOD- I’m coming to you from a peaceful Sunday morning, resting in the Lord and reflecting on a powerful message from the Jesus Calling app (September 15th reading). Today, I want to talk about what it means to truly rest- not just physically, but to find rest for your soul. We’ll explore how we can let go of striving and lean into the truth that God’s love is unconditional and His righteousness is already ours through Christ. It’s a message of hope, peace, and freedom from condemnation, one I believe is timely for all of us.

Listener Challenge:

Here’s a challenge for you this week, friends: Take a moment every day to sit in stillness and simply rest in God’s presence. No agenda, no striving—just be. As you do, reflect on these truths:

You are already righteous in Christ—there is nothing you can do to earn God’s love. It’s yours.
Let go of striving—release the need to perform or prove yourself, and instead, walk in confidence, knowing who you are in Him.
Listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit—pay attention to the difference between condemnation and conviction. When God speaks to you, He calls you toward growth with love, not shame.

Finally, I invite you to meditate on this scripture: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13. Reflect on how Jesus laid down His life for you, His friend, and how that changes everything.

254- 3 Prayers to Bless and Honor Your Parents- Even When You Don't Feel Like It

Sat, 15 Jun 2024 10:00:24 -0400

I wanted to give you a guided prayer during this season of Mother's Day and Father's Day because sometimes it's hard to know how to pray for our parents, especially if things are difficult in your relationship. So this episode has three prayers you can pray along with as you celebrate your parents (or try to survive 🥰).

1. Prayer for parents you want to bless

2. Prayer for parents who need the blessing of knowing the Father

3. Prayer for parents you struggle to bless

Contextualize each prayer to make it more meaningful for you, and feel free to pray along with me or use this as inspiration for your own words.

253-Dealing with Mom and Dad Hurt

Thu, 13 Jun 2024 14:41:24 -0400

Relationships with the most important people in our lives are affected by our expectations, interpretations, and history. During the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day season, we face a time of celebrating the very people who’ve had a lot of power over what we think and feel. This can make special holidays really difficult and create a lot of stress.

Creating a new paradigm involves intentionality and self-awareness. By choosing to interpret your parents' actions through a cleaner, more compassionate lens, you can cultivate a more positive emotional response. This shift not only improves your interactions with your parents but also influences how you feel after these interactions, leading to a more joyful and fulfilling legacy. Ultimately, it's about reclaiming the power over your thoughts and beliefs, allowing you to live a life that is true to your values and aspirations, rather than being dictated by past experiences or others’ behaviors.

252-Is Your Hope in Formulated Certainty or in Learning from Real-life Experiences?

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 03:31:00 -0400

Formulas, plans, and frameworks are super valuable, but they simply can't replace taking imperfect ACTION and learning from real-life EXPERIENCE. I can tell you 'how to' all day long but you won't really know the fullness of 'HOW' until you insert 'YOURSELF' into the formula. Thinking without doing limits your creativity, innovation, resilience, and ultimately your success.

251- 3 Big Points at the Start of Your Coaching Journey

Thu, 30 May 2024 11:33:17 -0400

There are three pivotal moments on your coaching journey that truly matter:

1. **Becoming a Coach**

2. **Starting a Business**

3. **Making Offers**

I’m also going to address common misconceptions holding you back, like waiting for everything to be perfect or needing others’ validation. The emphasis is on being intentional, taking action, and simplifying your approach to accelerate your coaching journey.

BECOME A STORYMAKER- 1:1 COACHING

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Recognize and act on the decision to become a coach, a business owner, and someone who makes coaching offers.

Don’t wait for external validation or for everything to fall into place perfectly—confidence grows through action.

Practice and embrace imperfection and learn from the process to cultivate excellence over time.

Use clear strategies to remind yourself of your goals and stay intentional in your actions.

Remember, your journey starts with intentionality and the willingness to take the first step.

250-Permission to Be in Process When Life is Hard

Wed, 22 May 2024 22:08:14 -0400

In this episode: HUMAN PROCESS

Life circumstances can really get hard for all of us, and even if it looks like things are great on the outside, the true process is really on the inside. The truth is: life is both great and terrible, so what should you do when you find that you're not healing fast enough, grieving the right way, or escaping victimhood like you're supposed to?

Well, the answer is simple: Grace.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Rom 8:28

Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matt 28:20

Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Heb 13:20-21

249-Scripted Sessions or Unscripted- Which is Better?

Thu, 16 May 2024 08:14:28 -0400

In this episode: IMPERFECT ACTION

It's a valid feeling to want certainty and expertise before diving into something new. But in coaching it's simply not required. You are invited as a coach to hold space for the client and move in the direction they want to go, so having a complete and perfected plan ahead of time doesn't empower great coaching, it hinders it. I'm going to explain more in this episode and give you some guidance that will undergird your confidence and your experimentation as you grow into a great coach.

247- 13 Thoughts to Cultivate Belief in the Coach You're Becoming

Thu, 02 May 2024 04:04:00 -0400

In this episode: PARADIGM SHIFTING

I know! It's hard to think like a successful coach when you don't feel like one! BUT... if you shift your thinking you'll cultivate emotions that make you feel like taking action, and that action is what will lead to having the client load you desire. So let's shift that paradigm and pour truth into your soul by faith!

I'm pivoting in some areas and I know you have or will as well, so I wanted to help you know how to look for the thread that connects all of your pivot points over the years. Especially as you start and build as a coach, I believe you can look back and see how things have led you to this point and influence what you'll do going forward. After listening you'll be able to create your own storyline and mark certain points along it that correlate to who you're becoming.

245-How Prayer, Consistency, and Imperfect Action Launched Her Coaching Business!

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 06:17:00 -0400

YOUR WILL AND WAY GOD!

Laschel, a Sterling and Stone Certified Life and Marriage Coach, prays over her business and clients: “Your will God, and Your way.” Perfectly said!

If you want to see what it’s like on the other side of starting, Laschel is going to tell you exactly how she went from working full-time at church to coaching multiple women who wanted her guidance through the coaching business she started by taking imperfect action. She says that if she’d waited to take action and pursue her calling as a coach, she’d feel bored, discouraged, unsettled, unsure of the future, unsatisfied, and discontent. But because she stepped out in faith, she doesn’t feel any of that! Laschel’s building a beautiful business that serves women who want to thrive in their marriages and families, and she can’t wait to share her journey into coaching with you.

244-A Call to Rise Above the Struggle

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 09:33:00 -0400

In this episode: CALLED TO RISE

I'm sure you get it- the trials and the hard things can make you want to quit; make you want to crawl back in bed. But giving up/canceling/quitting/divorcing yourself from the circumstance, only creates a different struggle. The loss and pain of what you left behind because it got hard. So let's talk about acceptance, forgiveness, and joy in the suffering. We've been through lots of hard stuff before and look at us. We are gonna make it. So we can do this hard thing too.

Have you ever felt like you weren't able to 'be' everything the P31 woman is presented to be? Have you ever wished you could see an example of who you could be as a woman instead of feeling condemnation that you aren't enough all of the time? I'm untangling what the 31st proverb is all about and how you can find hope in these words instead of shame. You can love exactly who you are at the same time you desire to grow into the woman you want to be.

Very Important Garlic Sauce Recipe for a Good Life:

1 cup peeled garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
juice of one lemon
2.5 to 3 cups light flavored olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

Puree your garlic cloves with the salt in a food processor.

Scrape the sides and then turn back on

Add 1/2 cup of olive oil (drizzle VERY slowly)

Add a teaspoon of lemon juice.

Run machine until it thickens.

Alternate between more oil, more lemon juice, and more machine running til it thickens.

I stop at 2.5 cups of olive oil and taste, then add more oil and lemon juice as needed.

It should be live a fluffy mayonnaise when it's done.

The goal is to emulsify it, and you can use an emulsion blender if you have one. If you add too much or too quickly you can 'break' it, and have to start all over again.

Enjoy! (You didn't know life coaching podcasts had recipes, did you? :)

228-Surrendering Your Calling to God

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 01:57:00 -0500

In this episode: TRUE GOAL SETTING

Have you given back to God what He has graciously given you? What if it were to multiply because you did? What if it weren't so heavy if you didn't have to carry it alone? Give back to God what He calls you to and see how He blesses you with a peace beyond understanding. Your callings in life, relationally and professionally, are gifts and when two people care for the gift it expands. Pray with me today in surrender to the Lord.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.” Phil 2:5-8

In this episode: TRUE GOAL SETTING

If you've wondered how you're supposed to figure out business goals when you simply just want to coach people, I'm helping you find what to set your sights on. You don't have to have a number goal or money goal in the beginning, but you do need to define where you want to go and become intentional about it. Get your notebook out and sharpen your pencil, because you've got things to go after!!!

My Utmost for His Highest Devotional by Oswald Chambers

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Gal 5:24

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. John 12:24

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 cor 5:17

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Gal 2:20

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Matt 26:41

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 12:40:49 -0500

In this episode: SELF COACHING and MINDSET

Do you know what you're thinking? Are you believing things by default or with intention? And do your thoughts empower you or spread poison? Today we are talking about your paradigm and how you can invite truth to pervade your soul.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

When a defiling evil spirit is expelled from someone, it drifts along through the desert looking for an oasis, some unsuspecting soul it can bedevil. When it doesn’t find anyone, it says, ‘I’ll go back to my old haunt.’ On return it finds the person spotlessly clean, but vacant. It then runs out and rounds up seven other spirits more evil than itself and they all move in, whooping it up. That person ends up far worse off than if he’d never gotten cleaned up in the first place. “That’s what this generation is like: You may think you have cleaned out the junk from your lives and gotten ready for God, but you weren’t hospitable to my kingdom message, and now all the devils are moving back in.

Niche resistance is pretty normal, because as helping-hearted people we want to serve everyone and oftentimes can't wrap our heads around narrowing down and what 'feels' like leaving people out. But God will send the right people either way, so let Holy Spirit do His work and you and I will do what we can to share the right info that will help people find us. He draws the right clients to us for both their benefit and for ours. Coach Eve and I also work on her tagline for her podcast art so when people are scrolling they stop on hers if they are Christian women who need a mindset shift.

207-Live Coaching: Believing in Your Coaching Abilities

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 03:54:00 -0400

In this episode: BUSINESS and NICHES

I got sooo many great responses about the first part of my conversation with Eve, a lovely coach-in-training inside The Greenhouse Course, so I’ve taken the rest of our session and turned it into even more episodes for you to enjoy.

Eve is in the messy middle of figuring all of this business stuff out. She asks amazing questions and is really moving through the process with intention and commitment. These two things make all the difference!

She is super vulnerable and says things like "I’m not confident that what I will do in a session will be helpful" and "how can I ask people to pay for someone who doesn’t know exactly what they’re doing?"

But in the end, she says she feels more ready!

Listen in to how I lead her to believe in herself and figure out what steps to take...

If you are struggling to move forward, I highly encourage you to at least start with the Niche Clarity Course and get insight into what you carry, what you know, and how you could serve the world and God through coaching.

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 05:38:00 -0400

In today’s episode: SELF COACHING & FAITH

Has anyone ever told you it's okay to just feel what you feel and then teach you how to handle it those emotions and move through them with compassion? That is exactly my goal today, to show you where the line between religion and Jesus lies in the human process and the love of a good Father.

Matthew 8:23-27; Matthew 14:22-33; Matthew 8:5-9

And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases. Luke 9:1

And raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6

Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Luke 10:19

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) Eph 4:8-9

Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living one. I was dead, and see, I am alive forever and ever; and I have the keys of Death and of Hades. Rev 1:17-18

201-Opinion vs Judgment

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 08:44:45 -0400

In today’s episode: SELF COACHING & FAITH

Do you have a hard time being compassionate with yourself and others? Do criticism and condemnation rob your hope and energy? Today I want to sow truth into you, and help you identify the difference between having an opinion and being judgmental. Dive in, because the Word is heavy in this one!

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE NICHE CLARITY COURSE RIGHT HERE!

Matt 7:1 says Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves.

Luke 6:37-38 says, Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.

Galatians 6:1 tell us that if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

Romans 2:1-3 says, Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

Ecclesiastes 12:14 says, For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.

God judges in his righteousness so that we can know his ways better. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? That’s James 4:12.

Romans 2:4 says, Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]?

John 3:16 tells us that “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: you are to labor six days and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female servant, your livestock, or the resident alien who is within your city gates. For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy. Exodus 20:8-11

For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:3

Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished”. Matt 5:17,18

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matt 11:28-30

Thu, 27 Jul 2023 12:29:04 -0400

In today’s episode: SELF COACHING & MINDSET

Being a life coach doesn't just impact your professional life; it permeates your personal life as well, including your close relationships. Today we delve into the complex dynamics of being a life coach and managing how you care for your relationships, including friends, family, and significant others.

We discuss the balance between being a coach and a loved one, how to avoid the "coach mode" in personal conversations, and the importance of setting boundaries. We also address a common misconception about life coaches. This is a deep dive into the nuanced world of maintaining healthy relationships while growing as a life coach.

184-Embrace Your Pioneering Spirit and Grow a Deep Root System for Your Dreams

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 10:43:37 -0400

In today’s episode: DREAMS & CALLINGS

Ever been caught in the whirlwind of a calling deep inside you can't quite articulate? That's exactly how I felt when I sensed a pull towards empowering women 25 years ago, even though I had no idea how to manifest that vision. As we unpack the mystery of our callings in today’s episode, we explore finding contentment and being faithful, even as we eagerly anticipate what the future might hold.

In the face of our aspirations, it's easy to feel like we're standing still. But what if we could cultivate our faith and spirit, creating a powerful spiritual root system, while we wait? We'll chat about how these roots, built in the quiet times of waiting, can serve as a legacy to those who come after us. It's all about embracing patience and trusting in divine timing as we lay the foundation for our future.

Our conversation then takes an adventurous turn, inviting you to join us in embracing the pioneering spirit within. Confront the lies of inadequacy that can sneak in, while emphasizing the importance of a firm foundation. But we won't leave you without tools for nurturing your dreams - mind mapping, whiteboards, and trusty journaling might be just what you need. So, are you ready to join me on this journey?

And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” Gen 2:16,17

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” Matt 7:24-27

183-How to Amplify Results and Grow Confidence by Creating a Coaching Focus

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 14:09:34 -0400

In today’s episode: BUSINESS & NICHE

Let's redefine your understanding of coaching niches. Today, we'll strip away common misconceptions and help you view niche focus not as a limiting constraint, but as an exciting opportunity to cater to a specific group with specialized solutions. Seize this great chance to discover how narrowing down your niche, much like a heart surgeon specializes, can amplify your results and offers.

Learn about the critical role clarity about your calling plays in identifying your ideal clients. The benefits of focusing your offers and aligning with clients who want what you carry are immeasurable. I'm also helping you know how to part ways with people who don't need what you offer, and overcome the fear of rejection.

Angel Studios and The Sound of Freedom movie (in theaters as of 7/5/23 and available through Angel Studios website afterwards)

Break Every Chain by Will Reagan, with Tasha Cobbs

“And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls. The fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your delicacies and your splendors are lost to you, never to be found again!” The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud, ”Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.” Rev. 18:11-17a (italics mine) The only reason no one buys their cargo anymore is because of the destruction of the wicked capital city, which in chapter 18 is referred to as an economic hub of commerce, power, and sexual immorality. And it very clearly shows that humans are being sold just as regularly as things like cinnamon, iron, and cows. Can you imagine your son or daughter or grandchildren being taken and sold like they are worth nothing more than what's in your spice cabinet?

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Eph 6:14-17

3 Big Questions that Change Every Teenager by Kara Powell

They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:3

They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. Psalm 36:8

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” Rom 8:15

“I want you to be,” God says. I put you here because I wanted you here. ~ St Augustine

For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them… Rom 12:4-6

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Rom 1:20

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14

Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die... Rev. 3:2

Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Eph 5:10

Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Matt 19:21-24

There's Always Enough by Heidi Baker

When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. “Isn’t this the carpenter's (stonemason's) son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.” And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. Matt 13:53-58, italics mine

Just make sure you ask empowered by confident faith without doubting that you will receive. James 1:6 TPT

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:4-7

121-How to Become a Successful Coaching Business Owner

Sat, 21 Jan 2023 03:13:00 -0500

In today’s episode: ENTREPRENEURSHIP & COACHING BIZ

If you're looking for how to build your foundation as a coaching biz owner, look no further. I'm sharing five INVALUABLE principles and focuses to set your mind, heart, and eyes upon in order to guarantee your success and sustainability in your calling.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matt 6:33

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. – Colossians 3:23-24

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? – Mark 8:36

It is the Lord’s blessing that makes a person rich, and hard work adds nothing to it Prov 10:22

But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:18

Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. – Psalm 127:1

God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. 1 Cor 1:30

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such 'wisdom' does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 3:13-18

95-The 5 Big Emotions, Why They are There, and How to Handle Them

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 02:57:00 -0500

In today’s episode: SEASON OF BIG DAYS & SELF COACHING

Our big emotions spike this time of year during the season of big days. So let's talk about anger, fear, disgust, shame, and sadness, and figure out why they are even part of our lives! I'm also sharing more insights about them along with healthy ideas about how to cope.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

NAME IT- Join the CLCC Facebook group and head to the files tab to grab the feelings wheel and learn to identify what emotion you're experiencing.

RATE IT- rate your emotion on a scale of 1-10:

1- a passive feeling; 3- thinking about it more; 5- your body is beginning to experience it physically; 7/8- you’re becoming more consumed with it and taking action from it; 10- you're unable to help yourself get out of it and likely not in self-control.

ALLOW IT- let yourself experience the emotion and process it through and out of your body, without staying in too long or negatively cultivating needless suffering.

Gen 2:25 "The man and the woman were naked and unashamed."

2 Cor 7:10 "For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There's no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death."

And yes, it means you take responsibility for what you can do and how you can take action to shift things, but it's so worth it to become the StoryMaker of your own life. My goal in this episode is to remind you that you can have a new type of holiday season regardless of circumstances by shifting what you believe and choose to dwell on.

89-Holding Onto Hope in the Season of Big Days

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 02:09:00 -0500

In today’s episode: SEASON OF BIG DAYS & SELF COACHING

Hope is a currency of heaven and you are a hope bringer! Holidays can be difficult times even though they we feel the pressure to make hope front and center. But when hope hasn't been normal or is hard to find, you need the reminder and the equipping to make it your anchor. That is exactly what this episode is!

Psalm 20:4 'May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans.'

Psalm 42:5 “Oh my soul, why are you cast down and disturbed within me? Hope in God for I shall yet praise him for the salvation that comes from His presence.” Complete Jewish Bible

Joshua 4:4-7 'When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, “Take twelve men from the people, from each tribe a man, and command them, saying, ‘Take twelve stones from here out of the midst of the Jordan, from the very place where the priests’ feet stood firmly, and bring them over with you and lay them down in the place where you lodge tonight.’ ” Then Joshua called the twelve men from the people of Israel, whom he had appointed, a man from each tribe. And Joshua said to them, “Pass on before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up each of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel, that this may be a sign among you. When your children ask in time to come, ‘What do those stones mean to you?’ then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever.”'

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 05:55:00 -0500

In today’s episode: SELF COACHING AND MINDSET

It is really amazing to get enough clarity about your calling and what you carry that you verbalize it to the world and let them know that YOU are an option. But with the opportunity to be chosen comes the opportunity to be rejected. So many of us don't take action and put ourselves out there to protect our 'self'. Listen to what I'm telling you my friend, YOU are valuable, called, and equipped to release what God has put in you and I am calling you up and out today.

76-Using the Circle Tool of Circumstance and Influence for Your Life and With Clients

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 02:22:00 -0400

In today’s episode: TOOLS AND SELF COACHING

I'm teaching you a tool called The Circle Tool of Circumstance and Influence to help you lead yourself well and use it with your clients or even your kids! Determining what is within your control and influence will help set your mind free so you focus on what you can do to really take action and affect change. This is a great tool to pair with the PEARL practice from episode #6.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Draw a circle on a paper and put another circle inside of it.

Label the outer circle circumstance and the inner circle influence.

Write down what you cannot control and influence in the outer circle and what you can control and influence in the inner circle (first and foremost your paradigm of beliefs and thoughts, your emotions and actions, and the results you're getting).

Make a list of things you can do to take action and truly influence the areas of concern you have within the circle of influence.

Decide to stop dwelling on, worrying about, and focusing on the areas within the outer circle of circumstance.

That's it! A quick win!

I’m knocking on this door, asking for your guidance, and seeking your will, so I have great expectancy that you will respond. In your name I pray, amen.’

Questions to ask yourself:

How does your calling fit into your current life season? Would it fit better into a future season? Some callings are seasonal, is this one of them? What can you do to take your first imperfect action to move forward? Who can you share this with who will be supportive? What does life look like if you step into this calling and are successful? What does life look like if you don’t take action and give it a shot? Are you ready and willing to take a risk and walk in faith?

And remember! The Greenhouse is always open!

69- Is It Okay to Have a Dream in Your Heart?

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 02:22:00 -0400

In today’s episode: FAITH AND MINDSET

You were made to dream with God and you were made to co-create with your Dad. Let's counter some of the lies and limiting beliefs that keep you locked up, keep you from pursuing your dreams, and keep you from walking in your calling.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

"A person may have many plans in their heart. But the LORD's purpose wins out in the end.” Proverbs 19:21

"In their hearts human beings plan their lives. But the LORD decides where their steps will take them.” Proverbs 16:9

"Find your delight in the LORD. Then he will give you everything your heart really wants.” Psalm 37:4

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment. “For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?”But we have the mind of Christ.’ 1 Corinthians 2:9-16

"Don’t live the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed. Then you will be able to test what God wants for you. And you will agree that what he wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2

"So it is with your prayers. Ask and you’ll receive. Seek and you’ll discover. Knock on heaven’s door, and it will one day open for you. Every persistent person will receive what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he needs. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door. “Let me ask you this: Do you know of any father who would give his son a snake on a plate when he asked for a serving of fish? Of course not! Do you know of any father who would give his daughter a spider when she had asked for an egg? Of course not!" Luke 11:9-12

68-Do You Feel Like You’re Going After Your Dream All Alone? You Need This Dream-Builder’s Hack

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 04:05:00 -0400

In today’s episode: MINDSET AND SELF COACHING

I know exactly what it feels like to have no one in your corner, no one passionate about what's in your heart, and desperate to get what's in your head out of it. If you are going it alone, building a business or a practice, holding a vision tightly, excited about an idea, and feel lonely in it, this is my most important solution for moving forward with hope!

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Make a plan to meet once a week either live or online or call
Commit to a timeframe for meeting and prioritize it on your calendar
Be punctual and consistent
Make decisions together about your time together
Focus on what’s urgent or critical
Trade off who shares or who gets the focus
Or simply set a timer and you both get a focused 30 minutes each
If you don’t have what your buddy needs, do you know someone? How can you help by resourcing or connecting them or even doing something they need done?
Be there for them even when it’s inconvenient bc that’s what an ally does
Plan rewards and celebrations together
Whiteboard and brainstorm together
Agree to confidentiality
Agree to be called out if one of you starts going downhill, not holding up your end of the commitment, gets whiny or unteachable, or just wanting to give up
Agree to pick up the phone when you need something and agree to answer when the other calls
Agree to no competition
Consider having a co-working session online or together as well.
You don’t have to be going after the same thing.
You may have more than one; some going after specific pursuits and one just for life in general

65-Mindset Coaching- Being Unteachable

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 16:53:00 -0400

In today’s episode: MINDSET AND CLIENTS

It happens! So let's talk about it. We can find ourselves being unteachable, and there are always going to be others who are unteachable in our lives. What the Word of God says and how to deal with it is in today's episode.

64-Is Your ’Carer’ Broken? You May Have Empathy or Compassion Fatigue.

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 03:33:00 -0400

In today’s episode: MINDSET AND SELF COACHING

This is a hard subject, because once you recognize empathy fatigue or compassion fatigue it may be hard to accept. But I'm sharing a bit of my story, how to recognize the symptoms, and how to mitigate and recover from them.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Compassion is the emotional response you have when you see someone’s struggle and you want to help out in some way. You identify with their situation and want to do something about it. You desire to be with them in the situation, but not necessarily their feelings.

Empathy is feeling aware of what someone else is feeling, either because you’ve been in a situation yourself that allowed you to experience the same feelings, or because you actually project those feelings onto yourself. Either way, you desire to be with them in their feelings, but not necessarily involve yourself in their situation.

Fatigue occurs when your own life becomes negatively affected because you've been empathetic and/or compassionate sooo much for sooo long.

63-The ONE Thing You Need to Do Above All Else as a Coach

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 19:57:11 -0400

In today’s episode: BUSINESS AND FOUNDATIONS

There is one thing to focus on as a coaching business owner. It's not money, organization, sessions, or social media.

62-A Prayer to Pray Over Your Business

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 08:57:36 -0400

In today’s episode: FAITH AND BUSINESS

I'm sharing a prayer you can pray over your business and a reminder to keep your biz before the Lord in prayer daily. It's a major part of who you are and deserves life-giving attention. Create reminders for yourself to take your business to the Lord and speak truth over it. I also want you to know that I'm praying for you as well, as my listener, as well as a brother or sister in the Lord. Bless you!

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life- and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.” (Romans 12:1-2, The Message)

Lord thank you for giving me a heart to serve the world the way you made me to. Thank you for your wisdom and understanding in my business. I ask for greater clarity when it feels that the lines between the world and your kingdom start to blur. Show me the way to go when I come to the crossroads which I will definitely find myself at again and again. Help my business vision to stay on you and your ways. Show me how you would run my business Jesus.

Cast great vision and give me great clarity Lord. Lead me in the way you’d go that meets the people I serve right where they are. Show me what they need, how I can serve them and love them well, how I can innovate and innovate and bring new things to life that would bless them. Give me dreams that show me how to build and how to share, give me vision for what is possible in the kingdom of heaven. I ask that You would develop well formed maturity in both me and my business, as I place it all before you as an offering.

Give me peace when things get hard. Help me to trust you when money is tight, when people aren’t buying, or a product or service doesn’t excel the way I hoped it would. Holy Spirit I pray for my hope in you to an anchor that keeps me in a kingdom mindset and draws my heart to the Lord. When things are tough, let me be the light that draws others safely to the shore leading them, rather than the one who runs out and conforms to the ways of the world without wisdom.

And I pray Lord, as I build my business on the cornerstone of faith in Jesus, I pray for the protection and provision over my household. Wherever I’m taking ground and the enemy lying in wait, be our shield and our refuge. I pray for discernment and strategy, for your presence to go before me and my business, and for tangible hope to pour out on me, my family, my team, and those that I serve. Draw the right people to me and my business, and let them see you and your love when they see us. Change me from the inside out, keep me on your path, and bring out the best in my business for the glory of Jesus to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.

In Jesus name, amen.

60-Real Parenting Challenges and Using the PEARL Practice to Survive and Thrive!

Sat, 10 Sep 2022 03:17:00 -0400

In today’s episode: SELF COACHING AND MINDSET

I'm sharing straight from my soul today. It was a hard morning and I had to coach myself through what's been happening in my life. I wanted to take this opportunity to share how I walked myself out of crazy soul stuff and into alignment with the truth God has for me. Hopefully this helps you understand the PEARL practice better that I've shared in past episodes and I teach inside the Greenhouse Life Coach Training Course.

57-Are You Ready to Be a Coach? Or Are You Still Waiting to Be Ready?

Thu, 01 Sep 2022 09:04:34 -0400

In today’s episode: MINDSET AND FOUNDATIONS

You can DECIDE to be ready and I'm championing you from here!

It's HARD to move into the unknown! Your brain resists it! But you can decide to direct your brain and decide to be ready internally even when your brain is telling you you're not. Let's talk about what you're waiting for and how to move past that limiting belief that 'READY' is actually a thing you'll ever be.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

True goals are things you're taking productive action towards and they feel risky and uncomfortable to your brain but bear the greatest fruit. False goals have you spinning in a whirlpool of passive action that keeps your brain safe and comfy so fruit is rarely on the branches.

~Simply decide to be ready.

~Wipe away the goals on your whiteboard and define what ready means to you.

~Make that definition your true goal.

~Start taking productive, imperfect action towards this new true goal.

56-A Financial Coach in the Greenhouse Connects Money, Mindset, Faith, and Legacy for Us

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 12:07:36 -0400

In today’s episode: BUSINESS AND MINDSET

Today's guest is Torance Douse, and even though he's a certified Master Coach through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, as well as a music teacher and worship pastor, he wanted to help people take their next steps in life so he's getting trained as a life coach as well.

He's sharing about how money, mindset, and faith connect to the legacy you create for future generations, and not necessarily just wealth. Torance shares his wilderness experience that led him to understanding his money mindset and God's provision better, and then we jump into some live coaching around letting people know what you offer as a coach, the difference between shame and guilt, and he tells us his favorite parts of the Greenhouse Life Coach Training and Certification so far.

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 05:55:00 -0400

In today’s episode: MINDSET AND FAITH

Tithing is hugely tied to our money mindset and to be sure you get a chance to think about it, go to the Lord about it, and find your way through it, I want to share a bit more about what I feel is important to get free, walk with God, and experience greater fruit in your life and business.

Matt 23:23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former."

Col 9:6,7 "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

Matt 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Phil 4:8 "Continually keep your thoughts on what is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always."

John 1:43-49 (italics mine)

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Come, follow me.” Philip was from Bethsaida, Andrew and Peter’s hometown. Philip went to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.” “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?”

“Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied. As they approached, Jesus said, “Now here is a genuine son of Israel—a man of complete integrity." “How do you know about me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.” Then Nathanael exclaimed, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God—the King of Israel!”

31-Is It Hard to Not Do Free and Cheap? How to Put a Benevolence Plan in Place

Sun, 19 Jun 2022 20:25:23 -0400

In today’s episode: COACHING BUSINESS

You are a helper and a guide! And while you love helping others, you need to learn how to have boundaries in place that ALSO help your business and get you paid. Learn how to put a benevolence plan in place so that your heart is happy and your bank account is too!

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Decide who you want to serve for free or at a lower price (ie. military, single dads, kids under 18, whoever God points to, etc.)

Decide how many people and how often you will make this offer (ie. no more than 2 at a time per quarter)

Decide what discount you will give to people (10% off for friends and family, 20% off for single dads, etc.) I suggest not doing more than 25% for anyone, but down the road you can always run a flash sale on your offers or packages and such. Then you can reach out to let this people know they can get 40% at that time.

Decide how you will respond to people who want free or cheap services or when you feel internal pressure to offer it. Write out a clear response in about 2-3 sentences you can refer to at that point.

29-Is Buffering Keeping Your Coaching Business Small?

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 06:37:00 -0400

In today’s episode: COACHING MINDSET

Maybe you feel like things are too hard or too scary to keep going so you dive into things that make you feel good and comfy and safe. Maybe you scroll instead of create, vacuum instead of pray, eat instead of overcoming. Whatever it is you use to buffer, it will keep you small in building your business. And life in the buffering beige zone will never be worth it!

Be encouraged friend! You can become aware of what you use to buffer and lean into God instead. Your awareness will help you make better choices and do the hard thing, trusting God to be with you in the midst of resistance and hard things.

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 18:28:40 -0400

In today’s episode: SELF COACHING

Literally, I was sick on vacation and realized that I had planned to work throughout my vacation!

Instead, I got sick and couldn't have a straight thought process so I couldn't work, couldn't publish an episode, couldn't prepare for clients or the training course. What did I need? A true brain sabbath. And being sick got me to take one involuntarily!

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Exodus 20:8-11:

"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

Sat, 23 Apr 2022 13:57:23 -0400

I share some encouraging scriptures about moving toward the calling on your life.

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

Zech 4:1 "Then the angel who had been talking with me returned and woke me, as though I had been asleep."

Zech 4:6-10 "It is not by force/might nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel’s way; it will become a level plain before him! And when Zerubbabel sets the final stone of the Temple in place, the people will shout: ‘May God bless it! May God bless it!’" Then another message came to me from the Lord: “Zerubbabel is the one who laid the foundation of this Temple, and he will complete it. Then you will know that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sent me. Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”

Psalm 100:4 "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise..."

Isaiah 55:11 "...so is My word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

1-What is a Life Coach and Are You Called to Be One?

Sat, 02 Apr 2022 12:42:39 -0400

In today’s episode: FOUNDATIONS AND COACHING MINDSET

Discover the ins and outs of life coaching and how to start seeking God about a coach calling as part of your story!

***VIParts of this episode to refer to:

The Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20, "Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

MATTHEW 7:7, "Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you."

ASK: God, what is Your calling on my life in this season?

SEEK: What are my gifts and strengths that could enable me to be a great life coach? Are some of them: strategy, clarity, possibility, compassion, connection, hope bringing, intuition, building, innovation, teaching, guiding, healing, listening, pastoring, etc.?

KNOCK: Text this message to three trusted advisors in your life:

"My coach has assigned homework for me to ask you: Do you think that I would be a good coach for someone wanting to reach a goal? Would you say I have, or could develop, the skills needed to be a helpful guide to someone who wants to accomplish, become, or obtain anything in their life?”
