Lumia CEO Noelle Cordeaux is joined by Mav Stoothoff, a Lumia graduate and neurodivergent coach who shares candidly about their autistic identity and experiences in the world, and what is needed for coaches to work effectively with people who are neurodivergent. The wide-ranging conversation ends with a call for more neurodivergent coaches to give support and coaching to the neurodivergent community. Listen in!

My name is Mav (they/them/theirs). As a neurodivergent (ND) and queer person, I have lived experience that has inspired me to be the coach, mentor, and advocate that I would have wanted. I am passionate about supporting other ND people and their supportive partners to promote neurodiversity, inclusivity, and equity.

When I started learning about and embracing my Autistic identity, passions, interests, and strengths, I created my foundation for authentic connections with others. I struggled a lot because I didn’t know who I was, why I was different, or how to get the support I needed. Now, my mission is to help other neurodivergent people and supportive people in their lives discover and explore their neurodivergent identity and navigate barriers to unlock limitless opportunities for success.

The wellness industry has split in two—and coaches need to understand both sides. In this episode, Noelle Cordeaux sits down with coach and crisis advocate Paul Chamberlain (Smart Funny Tortured) to explore the optimization revolution transforming how people approach health, longevity, and well-being.

Discover why 60% of Gen Z now prioritize health over career, how wearable tech is changing the coaching landscape, and why "self-health" has replaced "self-help." From metabolic psychiatry to the gut-brain axis, learn where coaches can make the biggest impact as clients navigate unprecedented access to health data and longevity interventions.

What if the stories you've been telling yourself for decades aren't even true?

In this profound conversation, Noelle Cordeaux sits down with Deanna Moffitt, PCC—Lumia instructor, author of The Rewrite, and master of the art of questioning—to explore how the narratives we create in childhood shape every result we're getting in our lives today.

From "I'm a burden" to "I'm not enough," these core wound stories live in our bodies and drive our behaviors—often without us even realizing it. But here's the good news: we can rewrite them.

Listen in as Noelle and Deanna discuss Deanna’s book The Rewrite – and dive into some of our deepest human insecurities, and what we can do about them.

Deanna Moffitt, PCC, has worked as an independent consultant and entrepreneur for the past 19 years. Before that, she was a Senior IT Project Manager for a Fortune 1000 company and worked with the company’s strategic acquisitions team. She is a senior instructor at Lumia and is ICF certified at the PCC level. She’s delivered over 3,000 workshops both virtually and in person and has worked with companies and organizations throughout the US, Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Deanna has always been passionate about why humans act the way they act. Growing up in a chaotic household, she knew she didn’t want the same experience for her adult self. Learning how to recognize and break the chain of generational trauma, limiting thoughts and beliefs, and exploring the power of questions instead of focusing on the “right” answer shifted everything for her. The Rewrite is an extension of her desire to help people reconnect with their ability to create their internal world and in doing so the external world rises up to meet that new self.

The ICF Code of Ethics just got updated, and every coach needs to know what's changed.

Lumia CEO Noelle Cordeaux sits down with beloved Lumia instructor and former CIA executive Bonnie Stith to break down the new ICF Code of Ethics updates that every practicing and aspiring coach should understand.

(Spoiler alert: The changes are mostly reorganizational, but they're important for understanding coaching's evolution as a mature profession.)

We dive deep into what these updates really mean... from the new section headings that make ethics more accessible, to how technology and AI are changing our responsibilities around client confidentiality.

Bonnie shares her wisdom on the "mortal sins" of coaching... the ethical missteps that coaches must avoid, like setting the client's agenda, giving advice, or making the session about the coach's wisdom instead of the client's.

Whether you're preparing for your ICF credential exam or simply want to understand how to practice coaching with the highest ethical standards, this episode provides the clarity and confidence you need.

Ethics is about bumpers on the bowling lanes that help you coach with confidence and protect both you and your clients.
