In this episode of The Coaching Book Club Podcast, Christy and Ken explore Strong Ground by Brené Brown — a powerful invitation to lead and coach from the inside out.

Instead of chasing polished performance, Dr. Brown offers a deeper path: one rooted in clarity, consistency, and grounded confidence. Together, we unpack what it means to build strength that’s steady, not showy — especially in the messy middle of becoming a coach.

We explore:

• What “compensation muscles” look like in coaching — and how to spot when we’re using them
• Why grounded confidence feels quieter (and more trustworthy) than polished performance
• How repetition, reflection, and rest shape mastery over time
• What it means to grow at the speed of integration — not urgency

Whether you're building toward your MCC or just beginning to trust your presence over your credentials, this episode is a gentle reminder: real growth doesn’t rush. It roots.
