Coach with Clarity

Astrology provides us with data that can help us to inspire, create and maintain change, not just in our lives, but in society as a whole. Today I'm beyond thrilled to introduce you to one of my closest business colleagues and friends, Brand Astrologer Leslie Tagorda, who helps entrepreneurs to navigate this data from a leadership, change-making, and strengths perspective.

Leslie Tagorda is a multiracial brand astrologer, designer, podcast host, author, and creator of the AstroBrand™ Method. As an Aquarius (Sun), Sagittarius (Moon), Gemini (Rising), and Human Design Projector, she's found her calling navigating visionary spiritual entrepreneurs and social impact makers to their star-charted success in their spiritual journey through their work.

I'm so grateful to Leslie for coming on the show and sharing her wisdom with us. Whether you are astro-curious, a devoted follower, or a bit skeptical, I encourage you to listen because there's something in here for everyone.

In this interview, we dive into some of the more significant archetypal meanings in astrology, specifically around Chiron, the wounded healer. You'll be amazed at how Chiron's lessons impact our work as coaches.

"I don't really have anything to talk about."

As coaches, we need to be prepared to hear this response. It happens more often than you might anticipate, and it's not always bad.

Before rushing in to try to fill the space or problem solve, remember it's our job to step back, get curious, and ask questions. Once we understand their why, we can meet our clients where they are and help them make the most of their sessions.

In this episode, we're diving into the craft of coaching, specifically what to do about the three most common reasons clients say they don't know what to talk about in session. I'll also share two less typical reasons you might get this response and the processes I use in each of these situations with my clients.

Every coach needs strategic planning if you want to grow and scale your business. Today's guest, Carrie Flynn of Virtual Simplicity, is here to share everything you need to know about strategic planning in your coaching business.

Carrie started Virtual Simplicity back in 2017 while also working full-time as a public school teacher. As the business grew, she scaled to working as an OBM with clients who often launched online programs. Virtual Simplicity has since expanded into an agency with a team of dedicated experts and specialists who help clients develop simple, easy, efficient, but not complicated online programs, funnels, and launch strategies.

I've known Carrie for over a year, and she's become my go-to person for strategic planning. This conversation was fantastic, with unexpected but necessary detours into money mindset, dealing with the guilt, shame, and anxiety that comes with money, and more. We cover it all today, and I know you'll get so much value from this conversation.

A couple of weeks ago, while under the weather with COVID, I was stuck in bed for three days. I turned to social media to pass the time and distract myself from my discomfort.

That's where the comparison monster came to find me.

I fell down the Facebook rabbit hole and compared myself with every accomplishment and success I saw on my feed. The longer I scrolled, the worse I felt.

It wasn't until I started feeling better and returned to my routine that I looked back and realized exactly what had happened. Hindsight clarified how I could have better supported myself during that time.

That's the inspiration behind this episode. Today I'm sharing the five things you can do to escape the comparison trap when you find yourself stuck and how I applied them to help make sense of what I was experiencing.

Email marketing is critical for the health of an online business. Being in the online business space for over six years, this is something I learned the hard way.

Today I'm so pleased to introduce you to my friend, colleague, and email superstar Brittany Long. Brittany is known as the Queen of Evergreen because she helps brilliant but overworked entrepreneurs create passive income through automated evergreen email sequences so they can experience consistent financial prosperity without working 24/7.

I've worked with Brittany one-on-one and in my programs, and I'm amazed by what she's able to create each time. She shares so many valuable gems in our interview and shows that no matter what work you do, you can connect it with your broader mission. It's an honor to have her on the show, and I know you'll get so much from this conversation.

It's human to want to belong.

But for many of us, that predisposition turns into people pleasing and making decisions that might not be best for us.

Over the years, I've had to work to become more aware of my people-pleasing tendencies, get comfortable with the discomfort of other people's disapproval, and focus on the things that matter most.

As we head into the fourth quarter of 2022, I'm preparing to open up the Coach with Clarity Collective - a super busy season for my business. It's in those high-pressure times where the old habits tend to slip back in, making it all the more important to tune in to what we're doing to support our mental health and stay aligned with our values.

In today's episode, I'm sharing five things that I need to stop doing in my business that may be helpful in your business too. I'm also sharing five mini Clarity in Action moments to help you take action with me. Enjoy the episode!

Canva is a valuable tool that can help you to build ease into your coaching business.

If you're not in a position to hire a designer, Canva makes getting started with designing your content very accessible. Once you've worked with a graphic designer to build your brand and all its elements, Canva is an excellent tool for utilizing your brand assets.

It's a resource I use daily in my business because it makes creating graphics so simple.

I'm delighted to welcome today's guest, Brenda Cadman, to the podcast to discuss how you can stay organized and get the most out of Canva in your coaching business. Brenda is a Canva Verified Expert (one of only 26!) who teaches course creators and service providers how to use Canva more effectively and efficiently for their business, saving time, energy, and frustration.

In this conversation, Brenda and I went deeper than Canva, talking about mindset, pricing, and how we tend to minimize our strengths. I think you'll love this interview, and I hope you glean some nuggets of wisdom that you can apply to your business.

What can you do when someone copies or steals something you've created?

It's happened to me more than once in the six-plus years I've been in business, and unfortunately, this is something you're likely to encounter at some point in your coaching journey.

Today I'm sharing my experiences and practical guidance for handling situations where someone copies your free or paid material, repurposes your content without crediting you, or infringes on your intellectual property, whether or not it's been trademarked or copyrighted. I'm also sharing what happens internally with our thoughts and emotions and how to reframe the situation so we can move forward a little more at peace with it.

With this episode, I want to ensure that you feel equipped and prepared to handle whatever comes your way if you discover that someone has been stealing your stuff, whether it's an image you've posted or the contents of your paid program.

As I mentioned in the show, I am not an attorney, and this episode should not be construed as legal advice. I strongly encourage you to consult with an attorney you trust about all legal matters, including those I discuss in this episode.

Everyone can be great with money and deserves a wealthy and fulfilled life.

This is one of the core beliefs of today's guest, Portia Jackson. Portia will admit that she is obsessed with all things Enneagram, money, and manifestation. After leaving her corporate job as a rocket scientist, she completed a certification in Personal Financial Planning, got her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional designation, and helped hundreds of Fortune 500 employees as a Financial Wellness Coach at PricewaterhouseCoopers. After leaving corporate, Portia transformed her love of personal finance, organization, and personal development into a step-by-step system to help online business owners take the money their business makes and use it to be, do, and have whatever they want in life.

I met Portia a few months ago when I heard her speak about wealth management and how it can work with your personality. As a coach and financial planner, she brings a wealth of experience when discussing the importance of money, wealth, and coaching. I think you'll appreciate her down-to-earth approach to money and the sense of ease and grace she brings to an often taboo topic.

I would do many things differently if I were starting my coaching practice today.

Recently, I received a question from a listener: "Knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently in starting your business?"

I'm well into my seventh year of running a coaching business, and I can hardly believe it's been that long. Inspired by this question, I went back in time to look through old emails and files to refresh my memory and see what I was doing in 2016.

Today I'm sharing the lessons I've learned while building Coach with Clarity and what I would do now if I were starting my coaching business from scratch today. Whether you're just starting or you've been at it longer than I have, I think you'll find this episode helpful. I believe no matter where you are in business, it's always a good idea to go back to the fundamentals.
