Coach Magic

When you decide to go all in on your business, the most amazing things will occur. This is connected to you saying what you came here to say. And backing up your words with deeds.

Is there something you've been on the edge of saying but haven't been saying? Is there something you've been saying, but you need to bang the drum louder so it can be heard by more amazing people who want to work with you?

The root of saying what you came here to say is TRUTH.

Do you feel that you've been telling the truth? That you've been living the truth? That you've been a physical embodiment of the truth?

If you're not showing up … if you're not in faith … if you're not consistent, then you are not doing your part. And it's time to make a change.

This episode walks you through a simple practice to get up close and personal on how to shift into honest, aligned action right now.

You've gotta love a woman with moxie. And that's why Alexia Vernon, a former Miss Junior America who was later named a "Moxie Maven" by President Obama's White House Office of Public Engagement, is so rad.

Alexia harnesses her genius as a speaking and leadership coach to show women how to unapologetically speak up for themselves. If you're ready to walk into any room, or onto any stage, and speak with moxie - so you can radically (and positively) impact your audience, business and community, you definitely want to tune into today's show.

Get ready to hear:

• Why the manifestation of fear is different for entrepreneurs vs corporate employees
• How Alexia is able to show up differently on all platforms while creating a consistent message
• How to navigate anxiety when speaking
• Why you shouldn't hide behind your slides
• How Alexia successfully partners with her husband in business, life and parenting
• The pivotal moment that changed the messaging and delivery of her speaking engagements

There only has been one other episode of this show in almost four years that has featured two guests being interviewed simultaneously. Today is episode number two. And it's a powerful one so get ready to meet Nick and Katherine North, a beautiful couple living with their children in Canada.

Katherine was a cynic who didn't even believe in true love...until she accidentally fell in love at almost 40-years-old with her best friend, Nick.

But when they fell in love, he wasn't "Nick"... he was "Nikki." And, Nikki was pregnant with baby #4!

Assigned female at birth, Nick always knew deep down he was a man trapped in a woman's body. A stay-at-home pregnant mom and family photographer who didn't think life could ever be any different, he was stuck in a life that should have made him happy but wasn't his own.

Together, they navigated Nick's transition from female to male as a couple and as parents and as business owners.

They negotiated the challenges of transitioning while blending a family and keeping their businesses afloat. They continue maneuvering through marriage, parenting five kids, nontraditional gender roles (who pays the bills and does the dishes?), and so much more.

Nick and Katherine teach us that every family is different, and families can be more than the traditional man, woman and kids and it's okay to live in our absolute truth. Once we own up to our truth, success will follow.

Tune in to hear:

• How being more honest and open led Nick to be more successful in his business
• How Nick + Katherine have systematized their home life with clearly defined roles
• Why you should examine what old rules are you living by that need to be redefined so you can have harmonious friction
• How to speak from the scar, not the wound
• Why you should have conversations with your partner to come to agreement and mutual compromise on things you both want
• About their work to bring awareness to diverse and incredible families

About Our Guests:

With true stories, embarrassing anecdotes, and practical advice, Nick and Katherine North show their audience and clients how to start taking brave steps in their own lives, wherever they are starting.

Nick and Katherine recently received a grant from Storyhive to create a documentary film about their family called "Just Another Beautiful Family" and are developing the "Beautiful Families" project which will include a conference, podcast, and supportive online community for all sorts of nontraditional families. They have appeared on numerous stages and media outlets.

One of my favorite things to talk about is selling. Because a woman who knows how to sell is fully free.

Selling is not dirty. Selling is not gross. Selling is not wrong. (Even though there will be people who tell you otherwise.) You do not need to feel any shame or guilt about selling. None.

Selling allows you to deeply help your people … and make beautiful money and impact to change the world.

Tune in to this episode of Get Gutsy to hear the work required to become unstoppable in your business. We're talking receiving, guilt, shame, sovereignty, the patriarchy and owning your power.

We've just completed our third school year of homeschooling and I've received a lot of questions about homeschooling from entrepreneur friends and friends of friends - online and in my local community here in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.

The main question >> how do you homeschool AND run a business? How is this even possible?

Up to now I've connected 1:1 with these brave, curious souls, but have been wanting to create this episode so I can share tips and lessons learned with a wider audience. It is my intention to help you walk this path with confidence and grace if you choose to.

Homeschooling has been such a blessing for our family. It was the thing I never wanted that I have come to realize I always wanted. These moments - although many of them are HARD - are moments we will always treasure with our children.

Tune in as I share the answers to the most common questions I've received through the years. And please do share this episode with a friend who is contemplating this path for her family.

Laura Garnett believes that work can and should be one of the most rewarding aspects of life. I agree. Unfortunately not everyone has figured out exactly HOW to make this dream their reality. That's where this episode of Get Gutsy comes in handy.

Laura is a performance strategist who honed her chops at Google, Capital One and an internet startup. It was at this startup that she was laid off. Instead of letting that setback defeat her, Laura decided to move forward and create her dream job from scratch by asking herself two questions: "who am I?" and "what am I meant to do?"

These questions led Laura down the path of entrepreneurship and discovering her methodology for finding long-lasting professional happiness and building the GENIUS HABIT that makes extraordinary accomplishment all but guaranteed.

Listen to this conversation to learn what kind of habits you need to build in order to do things differently, be more aligned with who you are, and achieve what you want.

Tune in to discover:

• How the methodology in Laura's book "The Genius Habit" was developed and the talk that motivated her to get it done
• How to respond when things don't feel right in business
• The moment she pivoted and decided to build her own business
• How she was able to successfully navigate the shift to build her network from entrepreneurial clients to corporate clients
• Why you need a sales engine in your business (and what hers is)
• How she didn't let years of work and a number of no's from publishers hold her back from getting a book deal and publishing her book
• How tracking systems are game changers
• Why it is important to come up with your own definition of success

About Our Guest:

Laura is a performance strategist, TEDx speaker, and the creator of the Genius Habit. She works with CEOs and executives to identify their unique genius and purpose, and craft an actionable plan to leverage them in their day-to-day work.

She has consulted with organizations including Capital One, Open Table, LinkedIn, and Instructure. Prior to launching her own company, New York City-based Garnett Consulting, she honed her marketing, strategy, and career-refining skills at companies like Capital One, American Express, IAC, and Google.

One of your greatest assets is the ability and courage to say what you really mean.

It's easy to beat around the bush or water down your truth for fear of being misunderstood or criticized.

The desire to want to play it safe and blend in is real.

But this is not wise.

Today, I invite you to truly go there.

Speak the truth.

Live the truth.

Be the truth in your words and in your work.

This episode features a live training from my Cash In On Your Calling series that is currently running in my Facebook group called Gutsy Leaders of Wisdom. It's a free offering all this month so come on in and join us. The training you'll hear today is all about SAYING WHAT YOU MEAN TO SAY.

I also share some insights into why Gabby Bernstein's Spirit Junkie Masterclass changed my life and why I believe in it so deeply for my community.

Being a coach and growing your business is a spiritual quest and faith walk. This journey will bring to your knees. You must be willing to heal your wounds and become the strongest leader possible. This is not easy. You'll have many twists and turns. And you'll meet many incredible people on the journey with messages you're meant to receive.

Tara Mullarkey is one of these women I'm blessed to have met. And now I get to share her brilliance with you. I know you're going to get so much out of this conversation! Get ready to get rocked.

Tara is a business coach and feminine embodiment mentor who started her career on a traditional corporate path. A layoff from her well-paying corporate job was manifested through her spiritual work, and led her on an unplanned 3-year journey around the world to find herself and follow her destiny. Having the courage to live in places like Thailand, Bali, and Tulum allowed her to crush her limiting beliefs and ignore the naysayers to get to where she is today.

She encourages women to do the inner work on themselves, embrace the fact that therapy is necessary, not taboo, and understand that strong women will change the world.

Tune in to discover:

• How Tara crushed her limiting beliefs to transition from her traditional corporate background to her spiritual coaching work
• Her early experience with yoga training and how she distanced herself from voices of criticism
• How her travels around the world shaped her spiritual development and knowledge of her work
• The changes that made her decide to fully immerse herself in her business
• One thing that irritates her about the coaching industry
• Why you can't help and teach others before you have done the work on yourself
• Why the crisis will create the change
• What she thinks her gutsiest and most creative move has been so far

About Our Guest:

Tara is a Master Business Coach & Feminine Embodiment Mentor, creator of the Online Temple School for the Divine Feminine, the High Ticket Empress Business Course, a podcast host, and facilitates workshops and intensives around the world.

She works with women on reclaiming their Sovereignty - sensually, emotionally, financially.

After quitting corporate America and finishing her MBA, she traveled the world in India, Thailand, Bali, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Tulum, Mexico, and built a half a million dollar personal development and media company.

Through her own healing to overcome trauma, complex-PTSD from family of origin attachment wounds, anger, shame, and codependency, she share her truths vulnerably from a deep sense of compassion and she deeply believes that sensually empowered, embodied, and wealthy women will change the world.

"True love - that is, deep, abiding love that is impervious to emotional whims or fancy - is a choice. It's a constant commitment to a person regardless of the present circumstances." - Mark Manson

On June 4, 2005, Steven and I went ALL IN.

And we keep saying YES over and over again.

Is it always easy? No.

But it's right.

It's home.

And it keeps getting better.

14 years of marriage has taught me a lot of lessons that can be applied to business and entrepreneurship. And I'm going to share them with you in this episode.
