Soulful Scaling with Sarah Clarke

1. Why 'more strategy' will only take you so far...


Listen Later

You've built what once felt impossible.

You're making actual money from your coaching business - albeit not quite as much as you'd like. šŸ™ƒ

And yet, now you're a few years in...things have started to lose their shine.… something feels off.

In this episode, I’m sharing the very honest story behind this somewhat unnerving realisation I had about my own coaching business at the end of 2024:
šŸ‘‰ I'd hit a ceiling - financially and emotionally- because I’d outgrown the way it was structured, positioned and priced.

I talk about what happens when your offers, messaging and business model are still designed for an earlier version of you - and why learning yet more strategy often stops helping at this stage.


We explore:

  • Why your messaging is the ā€œfirst dominoā€ - and how it has a knock on effect on the rest of your business model, offer ecosystem and the calibre of clients you attract

  • What it really means when your offers stop exciting you (and why that matters more than you think)

  • The hidden costs of scaling to six-figures that no one talks about

  • Why scaling by doing more will eventually drain your nervous system, creativity and joy

  • How your identity and self-concept - not strategy - become the biggest blockers as you scale to your next level

  • The difference between outgrowing your work… and outgrowing how you do it


This episode is for you if:

  • You’ve built something that works - but it no longer lights you up like it used to

  • You want more income, depth and white space without hustle or self-abandonment

  • You can see your next-level evolution, but can’t see how to reach it without doing 'more' or with your current offers, clients or pricing

  • You’re done with ā€œBadass CEO eraā€ energy and want a calmer, more soulful way to scale in 2026

I also share why my latest business evolution feels different from previous pivots - and why identity, not strategy, is the real starting point for sustainable growth in your coaching or consulting business.


In Episode 2, I’ll introduce the 1st of my 5 Skyward Philosophies - Root and Rewild - where you'll learn how to designing your business around who you’ve already become.


✨ If your coaching business no longer feels like it fits the coach and leader you've become, I think you're going to enjoy this behind-the-scenes glimpse into my own business evolution.
