Coach Magic

My husband Steven and I are celebrating 16 years of marriage. YAY! We met in 2003, got engaged in 2004 and got married in 2005. Honestly it feels like the time has FLOWN.

When we met, I was working at a public relations agency in New York City. I was flying around the world for a press tour with a celebrity athlete on behalf of a pharmaceutical company. It sounds a lot cooler than it was! I soon realized the life I wanted with Steven wasn't conducive to the life I was living as a PR exec. I changed jobs to something that offered me better hours and better money.

We got married and life was good. As we contemplated having children, I knew another career change was in order. This change would have me leaving the corporate world behind and choosing the life of a business owner and coach with a lot more control over my schedule, projects and income. That change happened in 2007 when I quit my 6-figure job and embarked on a new path - one that I'm still on today. It was scary yet liberating (like a lot of change is).

Steven has been a huge support during my career evolution. He's never been threatened by my ambition or ability to earn well. He listens to me vent when things are hard. He is an excellent sounding board. Our marriage has helped me be a stronger businesswoman. My business has helped me grow in my marriage.

The key > BEING ALL IN.

Since I'm passionate about helping you have a life, business and family that's beyond your wildest dreams, I'm sharing 6 lessons marriage has taught me about business:

1. Respect the partnership + make it your own
2. Own your responsibilities + your strengths
3. Be willing to make change
4. Give the magic room to breathe
5. Play the long game
6. Have as much fun as you can

Even

After

All this time

The sun never says

To the Earth,

"You owe me."

Look

What happens

With a love like that.

It lights the

Whole

Sky.

Do you want to have a higher income than you did last year? Do you want to do it in a way that feels really good and sustainable and supportive?

You might have an old story that says the only way to increase your income is to work more hours (that you don't have) … or to keep doing work that you're really not that passionate about because that's the only stuff that people pay for. Those stories aren't absolute truth. They are made up.

I'm going to share 3 ways to increase your income in your online coaching, healing or wellness business. Allow your heart to expand and let these ideas percolate inside of you. Then decide how it gets to be for you.

Know this: money helps dreams come true. Money is fun. There is always more money.

I've been in the coaching industry for more than a decade. I am passionate about this work because it changes lives so deeply. I am also SUPER passionate about helping coaches, healers and transformational teachers to succeed in their businesses.

There are so many people who need your help. And when you line up your offerings and energy with soul clients who need your help and will pay to get that help: there is no limit to how far you can go.

A key to your success here is getting super clear about who your work is for (it's not for everyone) and magnetizing those soul clients to you.

Another key to your success is being willing to price your work at the level that it really needs to be in order to be exciting for you and to really be an expansive opportunity for your clients.

This short episode - pulled from a longer training I recently led - dives into these critical keys.

Ready to help more people + make more money?

Succeeding in your online business as a coach, consultant or transformational teacher is an art + a science. It's not about pushing HARDER or working MORE. It's about knowing where and how to focus your energy to attract the best clients.

The root of our success is our willingness to show up to do what needs to be done, to say what needs to be said and to get clear on the call that has been placed upon us.

And this willingness to show up as a leader is everything.

This episode - pulled from a longer training I recently led - guides you to answer this golden question: How are you called to show up now? (Not last year. Not last month. But now and next.) Time to expand!

Welcome to the start of something special: COACH MAGIC! This is our brand new show and I'm so excited to welcome you here.

A bit of backstory ...

After publishing the GET GUTSY podcast for more than 4 years, it stopped feeling aligned in early 2020. I had done all I wanted to do with that podcast. It was complete. I was complete. So I stopped and focused on other things. It was absolutely the right call. Space is a beautiful thing.

A few months ago, I hosted a livestream show for a few weeks called COACH MAGIC. I loved the container. I loved breathing life into this content. So I decided to keep it going by launching a new podcast and YouTube show called COACH MAGIC. And we got to work making this idea real.

I got clear about how I want this to work for me and for you. Most importantly, I got clear about how I want this to feel.

I want it to feel really easy and fun.

I want it to give me energy vs. take energy.

I want it to largely use existing content (we have so much good stuff that can be repurposed!).

I want it to be something simple + potent that you can tune into on the go.

I want it to be something we can publish across multiple platforms.

And here we are! Yay.

The big lesson: how you choose to show up in your business (and life) can feel easy and fun. You make the rules.

Thanks for tuning in to this WELCOME episode of COACH MAGIC! Let's get started. xo

Pura vida! This new episode goes live while I'm leading the WOMEN WHO DARE retreat in Costa Rica. I'm here with several inspiring clients, including Beth Sears who is our guest today.

Beth was brought up with very traditional beliefs about business and how her life "should" be. She was expected to have a high-powered career, be the perfect wife and mother, and she started on that path by going to law school. After having her first child, she decided that being a lawyer was not the right path for her, and she instead took on the "Martha Stewart role" of her home. Keeping the perfect home and filling so many roles became unsustainable. In Beth's quest to be perfect, she was still not fulfilled.

Beth is now a certified holistic health coach who draws on her wisdom of yoga and Reiki to help women who are in the menopausal phase in their lives to harness this natural process and feel strong in their mind, body and spirit.

Beth led a Reiki Circle here in Costa Rica and it was pure magic! Excited for you to tune in to this conversation.

Tune in to discover:

• How Beth was able to move past the pressures of what her life should look like
• The power of changing directions
• The lessons she learned from the death of her mother and mother-in-law
• Why going sober was the best decision for her
• The keys to feeling stronger

About Our Guest:

Beth Sears a certified holistic health coach trained by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She's a yoga teacher (RYT-200) and an NASM-personal trainer, and has been personally trained by Gabby Bernstein of Spirit Junkie fame to teach the principles of her book May Cause Miracles.

Beth is passionate about living a healthy, balanced life full of joy and sharing her sometimes messy, but always real, journey through life. Her passion is empowering women to lead big, bold lives without apology and helping them find adventure in every day while thriving in their power and gifts.

Before the year ends, I'm excited to share one more podcast episode with you that will touch your heart.

Andrea Wilson Woods and I met several years ago when she joined my coach training school. I could tell she had what it took to be an incredible coach. And I was impressed by her skills and background she brought to her work - writing, teaching and acting. She got to work coaching her clients and building her business.

I soon learned that like me, Andrea had also lost her younger sister to cancer. And she has truly turned that loss into something extraordinary that's changing lives.

Andrea has a passion for advocating for liver cancer, which stemmed from her sister Adrienne's diagnosis and fight with liver cancer as a child. She uses her knowledge and experience to run Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association, and her for-profit foundation, Cancer University.

Andrea wants to change the cancer paradigm in the United States and she believes to ignite change you have to go to the source: the patient. She wants to teach cancer patients and caregivers how to become advocates for themselves so they can change their cancer journey.

You know that feeling when something won't leave you alone … and eventually you realize you MUST pay attention and heed the call to make a change?

Kelley Rakow - who grew up as a military kid - has lived and breathed this and now coaches her clients on how to align your inner knowing with your external reality.

11 years ago, she took action on this inner knowing when she and her husband co-founded and operated the first CrossFit Affiliate in Maryland without a plan or a ton of money to get started. After several incredible years running that business and offering group fitness classes, wellness coaching and events to their community, Kelley realized she wanted something different. After a multi-year transition process, the business was sold on Kelley's 50th birthday (literally).

She was ready to tap into a new way of coaching - this time on the internet. Embracing technology to deliver her transformational message and lead her clients through her unique approach to fitness has opened up new worlds for Kelley and the women she coaches.

Her invitation for you: be who your soul says you are.

Tune in to discover:

• How she developed tenacity, grit and the ability to thrive on change
• How she knows when it's time to make a change because something has run its course
• The power of taking your skills and gifts and packaging them up differently
• What happens when you peel away the layers and the lies
• Why it's okay to allow yourself to be the "first" or "only" to go on the ride of your life

About Our Guest:

Kelley Rakow is living her calling as a leader of women seeking Fitness for the Soul. She harnesses the expertise gained by opening, operating, and eventually selling the first CrossFit Affiliate in Maryland with her unique blend of health, life, and spiritual coaching to empower her clients to live strong in body and soul. She is a lifelong learner and loves books, barbells, and the beach. Kelley lives on the Atlantic coast of Maryland with her husband, 3 girls, 2 cats, 1 dog.
