In this episode, I’m joined by intuitive life coach and feng shui guide Gina Casbarro for a grounded and expansive conversation about leaving corporate life, trusting inner guidance, and building a business rooted in both strategy and intuition.

Gina shares her journey from managing and developing teams at Lululemon to creating a six-month transformational coaching experience that integrates mindset, environment, and identity. Together, we explore what it really takes to follow your spark while navigating responsibility, ambition, and uncertainty.

This episode is for you if you know you are capable of more, and you’re learning how to trust yourself enough to claim it.

In this conversation, Gina and I explore:

• How she used corporate leadership training as the foundation for her coaching work

• The identity shift required when you leave a “successful” career to build your own business

• Why feng shui became her first bridge out of corporate life

• What “following your spark” actually looks like in real life, not theory

• How overthinking and busyness disconnect you from intuition

• The monthly practices she uses to help clients stay aligned and creatively energised

• Why you are a business owner long before you hit income milestones

• How your environment quietly supports or sabotages your growth

• What it means to truly “own your becoming” at every stage of business

If you’ve been showing up, staying consistent, doing the inner work, and still not signing clients, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, I explore the main thing that many coaches miss.

It isn’t belief, alignment, or confidence.

In this episode, I share why so many deeply aligned, talented coaches still struggle to convert their audience into paying clients. I talk openly about how I moved from relying on belief and determination help sign clients.

I also break down the 5 core skill sets that transform visibility into revenue. I explain why these are learnable skills, not personality traits or healing more, and how mastering them helps you sign clients.

In this episode of The Corporate to Coach Podcast, I’m joined by my past client and relationship expert, Rachel Teeling.

Rachel is a relationship coach who helps women heal from painful breakups, toxic patterns, and dating burnout so they can attract genuinely healthy, lasting love. But today’s conversation goes far beyond dating advice.

We talk about identity, values, boundaries, building a coaching business while in partnership, and the nuanced messaging shifts that change everything in your marketing.

Rachel shares honestly about her past marriage, a cancelled wedding just four weeks before the big day, her healing journey, and how she met her now partner the day after receiving her coaching certification.

We also go behind the scenes of her growth inside THRIVE and Messaging Mastery and the subtle but powerful difference between being a brilliant coach and knowing how to communicate that brilliance in a way that actually converts.

This is a deeply honest conversation about love, business, boundaries, and self-belief.

Inside This Episode we discuss:

1. The real reason so many successful women struggle in love
2. Why jumping straight into dating after a breakup keeps you stuck
3. How self-concept affects both your relationships and your marketing
4. Navigating business growth while in partnership
5. The importance of boundaries with your partner when building online
6. Why messaging nuance matters more than you think
7. The difference between the woman who is in pain… and the woman who is ready for transformation
8. How Rachel refined her niche and stopped attracting clients who weren’t ready
9. The identity shift from “I’m a coach” to fully owning “I am a relationship coach”
10. The archetypes that keep women single

If you’re feeling resistance about 2026, to reflecting, to setting goals, or even to thinking about the year ahead this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I’m sharing something I noticed in myself very recently: a deep, heavy resistance to looking at 2025 and moving forward. Not because I didn’t care. Not because I was unmotivated. But because there was still disappointment, regret, and unfinished emotional charge sitting there.

And that resistance mattered.

In this episode, I talk about why simply “reflecting on the year” or listing what went wrong often doesn’t help and can actually leave you feeling worse. I share why awareness alone isn’t enough, how easy it is to misinterpret the lesson from a year that didn’t go to plan, and how that misinterpretation quietly shapes the year that follows.

You’ll hear me unpack:

1. why resistance is often information, not a problem
2. how unfinished experiences from last year can cloud your ability to vision forward
3. why identity and motivation can’t do the heavy lifting on their own
4. and what actually changes when you complete a year properly instead of dragging it with you

This episode isn’t about pushing yourself to feel excited or confident for 2026.

It’s about understanding what hasn’t been integrated yet and why the lesson you carry forward shapes the year ahead.

If this episode resonates and you can feel there’s something from last year that hasn’t been completed yet, I’ve opened a limited number of private Completion and Continuation Method™ sessions.

In these 90-minute sessions, we:

1. complete the emotional and operational loops of 2025
2. remove self-blame and self-judgement
3. extract the right lessons
4. and design simple, clear continuity for 2026

If you’ve ever found yourself quietly wondering whether this coaching path is really for you… whether you’re cut out for it… whether it’s ever going to work… this episode is for you.

Not because I’m here to shame quitting or glorify relentless pushing. Quite the opposite. I actually believe in quitting when it’s clean, empowered, and true. But there’s a very different energy that creeps in when fear, dysregulation, self doubt, and missing skill sets start masquerading as logic. That’s the energy I want to talk about today.

In this episode, I unpack what happens when you take quitting off the table in your coaching business. Not just the literal act of quitting, but the quieter, more subtle “quitter energy” that shows up in your thoughts, your nervous system, and the way you interpret what’s happening in your business. We explore why this energy is so common for coaches, especially in the early stages, and what actually needs to shift for momentum to build.

This is a grounded, honest conversation about desire, responsibility, regulation, skill building, and remembering who you are when the mind starts spiralling.

• The difference between empowered quitting and fear driven quitter energy
• Why entertaining certain thoughts always leads to the same ending
• How nervous system regulation and business skill gaps get confused with “lack of belief”
• The real reason many coaches feel disconnected from their vision
• What taking radical responsibility actually looks like in practice
• Why building evidence starts internally, not externally

If this episode activated something in you, let it. You don’t need to rush to fix it. Just notice what landed.

This episode is a transmission I originally shared on Instagram a couple of days ago; a fresh, expanded version of Day Two from the Soulful Selling Advent Calendar.

Even if you’re already inside the calendar, you’ll hear angles and layers I didn’t share in Telegram. And if you’re not inside yet, this gives you a genuine taste of what you can experience when you step into this space with me.

In this conversation, I’m talking about the single most important shift you need if you want to sign clients before Christmas. This time of year can feel intense. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, the holidays, family dynamics, budgets, pressure, noise. And at the same time, you still want to sell coaching. You still want clients. You still want momentum. You still want to feel on purpose.

So in this episode, I walk you the piece that makes selling feel grounded, aligned, and in service. And when you work from that place, signing clients becomes easier, cleaner, and so much more natural.

If you’re here to sign clients before Christmas, and you want your visibility, your energy, and your selling to feel good, this episode will give you exactly what you need.

What You’ll Discover:

• The one shift that completely changes how you sell in December — and makes signing clients feel obvious.

• The deeper reason December creates momentum that carries into the new year — even if you’re planning to take time off.

• How to create urgency that is ethical, grounded and genuinely supportive for your clients.

• The real difference between selling from your needs vs selling from your purpose, and why it changes everything.

Imagine this: it’s Christmas morning. You’re sipping your coffee, feeling so damn proud of yourself, not just because you made it through the chaos of December… but because you actually showed up for your business, your clients, and your higher self; powerfully, consistently, and with heart.

That’s exactly the energy behind the Soulful Selling Advent Calendar 🎁

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really means to sell soulfully — especially during one of the busiest times of the year. Whether you’re craving a gentle wind-down or you’re fired up to call in new clients before Christmas, this is your reminder: selling doesn’t have to feel icky, forced, or fake.

I created this Advent Calendar to help you:

✨ Rewire your selling mindset so you stop second-guessing yourself and start selling as the embodied coach you are.

✨ Get visible in a way that converts (no more hiding behind value posts that don’t lead anywhere).

✨ Warm up your audience so January doesn’t feel like starting from scratch.

✨ Step into the energy of being the coach of choice — magnetic, confident, service-led.

It’s 24 days of short, powerful daily activations to shift your energy, strengthen your sales frequency, and give you the structure to sell with ease, even during December.

Ever wondered what it really looks like to go from a corporate career to a thriving soul-led coaching business, without rushing, burning out, or losing yourself along the way?

In this deeply reflective and inspiring client feature, I sit down with my longterm client Gena Speakmon, a personal and executive coach who supports people navigating major life and career transitions.

Gena and I have been working together since 2021, through multiple rounds of one-to-one coaching, several of my programs, and powerful evolutions of her business and identity. In this conversation, we share the full story of her four-year journey:

how she built her coaching business while working full-time, the identity shift that shaped her path, and the grounded confidence that led her to recently hand in her notice to leave corporate life behind.

We go beyond strategy and sales, into the spiritual depth, personal evolution, and integrity it takes to grow a truly soul-led business that reflects who you are at your core.

• The identity shift behind entrepreneurship: Why building a coaching business is less about new skills and more about who you become in the process.
• Leaving corporate with grace: How Gena designed her transition to feel powerful, intentional, and free of “escape energy.”
• The truth about duality: How staying in corporate while building her business strengthened her boundaries, deepened her coaching, and removed financial pressure.
• Embodiment and spiritual integration: How reconnecting to spiritual practices (like walking meditations, journaling, and intuitive self-connection) grounded her in authenticity and service.
• The power of follow-through: Gena’s number one lesson, honouring commitments to yourself the same way you honour commitments to others.
• Gena's key advice for anyone who is building and growing their own soul-led coaching business.

This episode is a masterclass in what it means to become the coach of your own life, before you ever leave the 9to5.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing four lessons I’ve taken with me from my corporate career that have genuinely served me and set me up for success in business.

I wanted to do this episode for two reasons:

1. If you’re new here, I want you to hear some of my story — my background, where I come from, and the kinds of environments I worked in before becoming a coach.
2. People often ask me why I chose business coaching, how I feel qualified, and what actually led me into this work. This episode answers that directly.

Before coaching, I worked in research and advisory management consulting, HR, recruitment, and with top-tier law firms — Magic Circle, Silver Circle, and the UK’s top hundred. So when I say “corporate,” I mean corporate.

Across those years, I learned things about people, performance, resilience, communication, pressure, and responsibility that I didn’t realise were shaping me… until I started my coaching business.

And in this episode, I walk you through four of the biggest lessons that still guide how I run my business, how I coach my clients, and how I think about money, growth, and ownership.

• Why I chose business and psychology at university and how that decision ended up being exactly right — even though I had no idea what I wanted to “be” at the time
• The rebel streak that’s always been in me and how it shaped the way I operated in corporate
• How HR led me into recruitment and why talking to people, understanding them, and being externally facing changed everything
• The moment I switched from a salaried role to a salary + commission role — and why that shift became one of the most important money lessons I’ve ever received
• The four key lessons corporate taught me that I still rely on every day in business
• Why these lessons matter even more for coaches who are transitioning out of corporate or trying to shed the employee identity
• How all of this eventually led me to business coaching and why these foundations are core to the work I do with my clients

In this episode of Corporate to Coach, I’m sharing what it was like to take a complete break from my business for my wedding for the first time in about five years and what it actually took to come back.

Whether your “break” has been a honeymoon, sickness, a holiday that turned into months, or just ghosting your business for a while, this conversation is for the moment where you think:

I talk about the value of switching off fully, the wobble of returning when it feels like your stamina has dropped, and the one thing that made it easier for me to hit the ground running again – both in business and in the gym.

In this episode, I walk you through:

• How I approached taking three weeks completely off my business for my wedding
• Why I see so many coaches say they’re “on a break” but still quietly marketing and selling
• What a true break looks like for me (and why I advocate for it)
• The challenge of coming back – the self-doubt, the overthinking, the “where do I even start?” spiral
• The parallels between coming back to the gym and coming back to business
• The simple structure I use to get back into momentum: goals, plan, and business basics
• Key Takeaways

If you’re listening and thinking:

“I’ve been away from my business and I don’t know how to come back,” or “I’m showing up, but I don’t have clear goals, a solid strategy, or a structure that fits my life,”....

this is the work I do with my 1:1 clients.

In 1:1 coaching, we:

• Get your business fundamentals in place – offer, pricing, marketing and sales strategy
• Set clear, aligned goals that actually make you want to show up
• Create commitments that work with your lifestyle (especially if you’re working a day job)
• Build your self-trust, your creative muscle, and your capacity to make money and create clients on your terms

To explore if 1:1 is right for you, just send me a DM on Instagram.
