If you’re listening to episode around the time in drops, we’re right in the middle of the winter holidays and many of use are using this time to reconnect with our families, friends, and loved ones. But hopefully, that also means carving out some time for rest and rejuvenation.

In the spirit of that, I’m replaying my interview with Jordan Maney. I so appreciate how Jordan approaches the concept of rest, how she gives permission to coaches and entrepreneurs to really embrace rest as a part of their process, and that she provides concrete actions we can take to better incorporate rest into our daily practice.

In this episode, Jordan shares how she helps creative and intuitive business owners. lessons Jordan learned from her first venture into entrepreneurship, the messy, uncomfortable side of pivoting, her path to becoming a Radical Joy Coach™, what you need to remember about the refinement process, how Jordan defines rest, why we need to pay close attention to the energy we give out, turning your attention back to yourself, making time for rest, why everything in our calendar seems too important to cut, getting very clear on your actual capacity, the rest-capacity relationship, the several different types of rest, why Jordan believes we should aim for harmony instead of balance, the connections between rest and advocacy, what sustainable advocacy looks like, and more.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about a question I get all the time: “How do I become a coach?” After I start that discussion, I often hear, “How do I become an intuitive coach?”

There are three parts to this answer:

1. What does it mean to be intuitive?
2. How do I become a coach?
3. What does it mean to combine the two and become an intuitive coach?

So let’s get started.

When I think back to starting my business in June of 2016, I remember feeling completely overwhelmed creating a website and an online presence. Luckily, I had the good fortune to come across Shannon Mattern, who is now my go-to person when it comes to learning WordPress and creating an online brand.

Shannon was the featured guest in episode 62 of this podcast, but it’s my interview on her show, Pep Talks for Side Hustlers, where I talk about becoming a certified life coach that I want to share with you today. I hope you enjoy it!

Today, we’re continuing our journey back in time as I share with you one of my very favorite episodes from my first podcast, Work Your Inner Wisdom.

In this episode, we’re going to explore five obstacles that often come up when we want to say yes to our purpose, and ways that we can overcome them.

Today, I am super excited to share another guest appearance I made on an outstanding podcast called Therapist Rising.

Many of you know that prior to becoming a coach, and becoming a coach trainer, I was a Psychotherapist for almost fifteen years.

My background is in social work and public health, and I was a licensed clinical social worker and therapist for a very long time. In fact, much of my work in that field informs how I show up and train as a coach today.

In my conversation with Dr. Hayley Kelly, we explored what it is like to make the transition from therapy to coaching. I shared my own internalized fear around making that transition, how to handle some external feedback you might get from people, how to handle any judgment or concern that comes up either from others or yourself, some of the practical implications of transitioning from therapy to coaching, and what to do if you want to ethically and legally do both.

My goal with this interview was to provide and true and accurate perspective of what it’s like to become a coach and start a coaching practice.

If you’ve ever pondered the purpose of your life, you’re not alone. It’s one of the big questions in life: What’s my purpose? Why am I here? If you’re anything like me, you’ve asked yourself these big questions more than once. In this episode, I’ll give you the tools you need to discover your purpose in this world.

We’ll start by defining “purpose,” what it is and what it isn’t. I’ll also give you five elements that play into your purpose: your values, passions, strengths, principles, and perspective, and then give you ways to tap into each of those elements.

By the end of the episode, you’ll have the tools you need to examine your life and discover your passion.

In this special episode, I am so honored to share my appearance on The Career Clarity Show hosted by Lisa Lewis Miller.

Even though I initially appeared on Lisa’s podcast over a year, and have done over fifty podcast guest appearances, this conversation is one that has stuck with me. Lisa is such a gifted host and I shared parts of my story during this interview that I hadn’t shared anywhere publicly.

Some of the things Lisa and I discuss during the interview are my story, some of the more interesting decisions I’ve made along the way, and how a framework can help you make some untraditional choices on what is usually a pretty traditional career path.

So, let’s get to it!

As coaches, we help our clients create transformations in their lives. Often, that looks like a process that happens over several sessions and an extended period.

How can we condense that value into a VIP day model? What sort of boundaries do we need to set to facilitate the process?

Today I’m delighted to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Sarah Masci, the go-to person when it comes to creating, implementing, and refining your VIP intensive or day rate services. With 16 years of branding and design experience, Sarah became known as a leader in the online industry for clients looking for high-quality branding and web design before launching Day Rate Mastery® in 2019. Sarah’s mission is to use her personal strengths to empower others to take their expertise and service-based business to the next level and achieve the life and business of their dreams.

In this conversation, we’re talking about what coaches, in particular, need to know when it comes to day rates and how you can incorporate a day rate model in your business. We cover so much in our conversation, and I know you will enjoy it!

Refunds happen. They’re not fun, but they’re a rite of passage that most of us must learn to manage even though we wish we could avoid it.

As someone who has had that pit-in-the-stomach experience of opening your inbox to see an email with the subject line “Refund request,” I’ve found that they’re much easier to handle if we prepare for it in advance.

Today I’m sharing primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies you can use to create a plan that you can turn to when a client requests a refund.

Before we dive into the logistics and tools, I want to emphasize that as ethical coaches, refund requests do not say anything about your worthiness as a person or as a coach. They’re just a part of doing business. I hope this episode will give you some structure and guidelines for handling refund requests and the complex emotions that can come with them.
