Born to Coach®️

In this deeply inspiring alumni episode, Krista reconnects with Samantha Buck—an original graduate of the Born to Coach Training Academy, ICF-certified coach, and soon-to-be therapist—about the evolution of her coaching path.

Samantha shares her powerful story of pivoting from entrepreneur life to a fulfilling role as a pediatric behavioral health coach and how she’s now stepping into her next chapter: pursuing her master’s in clinical mental health counseling.

They explore:

• How intuition guides our most aligned decisions (even when they scare the crap out of us)

• The difference between fear vs. inner knowing

• Why success doesn’t always mean running your own business

• Coaching vs. therapy—and how Sam plans to blend both

• The victim mindset that holds so many clients (and coaches) back

• A gentle but powerful reminder that “Future You is a problem solver too.”

If you’ve been feeling stuck, uncertain, or wondering whether there’s “another way” to be a coach—you don’t want to miss this one.

In this episode, Krista shares what happened when she finally sat down for a “money date”—not with a glass of wine and wishful thinking, but with spreadsheets, Stripe reports, and a high-key identity crisis in tow.

What started as a simple review of her business finances turned into a powerful mirror moment: the realization that she wasn’t just “trying to run a business”—she was a business owner. A real-deal, receipts-and-results, grown-ass CEO.

She dives into:

• Why creative entrepreneurs avoid their numbers (and how that avoidance keeps us small)

• The moment she saw evidence of her growth—in black, white, and profit margins

• How stepping into the identity of a CEO shifts everything from your prices to your posture

• Why claiming your power isn’t a one-time event—it’s a choice you make over and over again (yes, even on a Tuesday)

Whether you’re spreadsheet-phobic or secretly obsessed with dashboards, this episode is your permission to stop waiting for someone else to crown you—and start acting like the boss you already are.
