Today, we're talking about how to make plans for a future that means something.

This episode is a special treat. We have someone I've admired (from afar) for years, and a different kind of conversation than the ones we typically have around here.

Joining us on the podcast today is New York Times bestselling cookbook author, Julia Turshen!

We dive into so many interesting topics, including:

• What it means to make a living AND a life
• Surfing the waves as a freelancer
• Cookbooks as an under-appreciated form of culture
• Revenue generation amidst market shifts
• What powerlifting does for her (and finding your equivalent)

There's so much wisdom to be gained from this episode, both as a human and a business owner. *There's also a delicious sounding lunch recipe tucked away in the middle.

I hope you enjoy it, and that you'll share it far and wide!

Thank you.

This episode of Coach Business follows up on our last one about refining your niche and creating offers you love.

In this one, we talk to life and weight loss coach, Michael Johnson, about the journey to his perfect niche (helping professional dieters achieve their hottest body yet)!

Listen in to hear what his journey looked like and how he reached the place where he was willing to say the truth out loud. It's also the place where things started to click, and ideas and energy were abundant (because, of course, it was).

If you're ready to waste the least amount of time floundering in niche drama and want to show up for a business you love (in your full power) right now, this episode is for you.

And, if you know someone who wants to lose weight, build muscle, and achieve their hottest body yet, have them grab Michael's free guide: https://www.yourhottestbody.com/fix

In this episode of Coach Business, we talk to leadership coach and mentor for female leaders, Karen Gombault, about:

- Niching down and finally landing on the one that feels like home

- Taking action and trying a bunch of different things to see what worked

- Enjoying the journey along the way

This conversation is also the ultimate permission slip:

- It's okay to change

- It's okay to customize your offers

- It's okay to slough off other people's rules

At the end of the day, this is your business, and it will happen at the speed of your decision-making.

I want it to work in ways that consistently surprise and delight you, and for you to bring your full self and all your past experiences to the table.

Nothing is wasted; it all taught us something we needed to know and got us one step closer to where we're headed next.

In this week's episode, I am joined by Vanessa Hardy, who wanted some live coaching around the idea of results-driven marketing and how that was tripping her up.

Listen in as we clarify things.

We get into:

• The power of decision
• Identifying your niche
• Letting it be messy

Here's what I know... Vanessa isn't the only one who's ever felt this way, AND "if this is in you, your people are here. Go, be of service to them - even if you can't see them right now. This track wants to come out, and you're the person for the job."
