Between the rise of AI and its ability to "clone" a coach, the whiplash of being on Threads and finding out your fave coach is kinda a Mean Girl, and the fall of celebrity coaches, there seems to be a crack in the coaching space.

What's ACTUALLY going on? And perhaps most importantly, what's next?

I share some off-the-cuff thoughts on how I see the online coaching landscape evolving in the coming months (and years tbh!)

My predictions include pivoting to totally unexpected offers, the continued surge of IRL experiences, longer programs, "underground visibility", redefining what enough is, going back to school, and how building institutions ourselves could be the key to staying power.

What do you think? Slide in my DMs and let me know or tag me on socials with your thoughts, I have a feeling this is a bigger conversation to be had amongst all of us...

Ummm, WTF IS HAPPENING ON IN THE INTERNET? Particularly, social platforms, podcasting, and pop culture?! 

That's exactly what Xanthe Appleyard and I GET INTO in a very special crossover series you can expect monthly: STATE OF THE INTERNET.

We dive into all the headlines flooding our feeds, like:

• Substack controversy (again) — are ANY social platforms backed by Big Tech actually ethical? Do we have to choose the "lesser of evils"? Plus, why we both left this year.
• Summer House's never-ending scandal — surveillance culture, the illusion of justice and what it costs us as a society to keep fueling the drama with social commentary
• Alix vs. Alex AND ALSO Unwell vs. The Media — the cost of skyrocketing to fame in a short window of time, the spectacle of two internet superstars fighting online (and why we can't look away)...plus, are media networks all they're cracked up to be?

We discuss everything through the lens of online leadership, digital behavior, and modern philosophy. 

You’ll leave with clear takeaways to move forward with, as well as a deeper understanding of how these topics are already impacting the conversations you’re leading, online and off. 

The internet is chaos — we'll help you make sense of it from our corner of it all.

Every time we open the news or social media, it feels like we're just 1 more headline away from Earth combusting into flames. It's hard not to feel that way when we're fire-hosed with atrocity at the top of every hour.

I can't help but wonder: is the world actually ending, or are we just chronically overexposed to doom with no alternative vision to reach for?

In this solo episode, I explore my own doom-and-gloom mode that sent me into AI psychosis, how I climbed out of the dark hole, and started to realize the power of imagination, relationships, art, creativity, and prioritizing seeking joy.

If you've felt hopeless, numb, or paralyzed by fear, I hope this episode stirs something within you to ignite a new future. We need your creative thinking now more than ever.

Questions to sit with:

• What inputs are you going reduce this week or intentionally change? 
• What's something super imaginative and forward thinking and non-apocalyptic that you could start putting out in the world? 
• What brings you joy and how can you top up on it this week?

DM me @chelseariffe with your reflections ❤️‍🔥 I can't wait to hear what world you're building.

Ashley B. Jones is BACK for Part 2 (Part 1 is HERE). This ep is about becoming obsessed with yourself to attract soulmate lovers, vibe amplifiers vs. vibe killers, why repelling people is magnetic, and so much more.

Come listen to us yap about:

• The "Favorite Self" framework: why the real magnetism gap is between you and the version of yourself you haven't fully become yet (!!!)
• Why self-obsession is actually the most attractive thing (and how to do so without being arrogant)
• Handling haters
• Dating your mirror, not your opposite, and why that changes how you show up before they arrive
• How to start when it feels like WAY TOO MUCH: what's one song, meal, thing you can do in the next 30 seconds that makes you feel more vibrant?!

I've been obsessed with Ashley B. Jones since the moment our orbits collided —after multiple readings she's given me and approximately one million hours of conversation, I had to get her on the pod.

Ashley is a psychic, philosopher, mentor, and artist, and the creator of Magnetic Habits Bingo 101 and the "Favorite Self" framework.

We get into:

• The five spiritual parts of yourself that actually need to show up to the party (yes, including your shadow)
• The golden shadow: why your obsession with a TV show, a celeb, or a queer fictional hockey player is secretly about you.
• The difference between a dream and a fantasy
• Why being a fangirl of your own life is the most magnetic thing you can do for your biz, your relationships, and your nervous system.
• How to microdose your way back to joy if it's felt unsafe.

Ashley also shares why Magnetic Habits Bingo 101 changed her life, shadow work as a path to magnetism, and hot take: niching creates more resonance, not less.

Strap in, babes.

If you've ever felt like you're running on fumes despite having a top-tier morning routine fueled by an iced matcha and perfect sleep score, creatively stifled to the point where you're Googling $8,000 retreats on the coast of Italy, or like your marketing is hitting a dead-end despite "doing all the right things", you might just be living out of alignment with your Human Design, especially its cognitive architecture.

Keolani Young is here to teach us a Human Design 2.0 lesson today: Variable. This is an advanced aspect of HD as it reveals the way our brain physically digests information, the environments that support our creativity, and the places that truly nourish us. It also uncovers our perspective — the unique lens through which we see the world — and our motivation, the left vs. the right mind, the strategic vs. the receptive.

If you're seeking a more intuitive, design-led approach to building your business, this episode is for you.

Someone asked me a question last summer that stopped me cold in my tracks: instead of showing how anti everything you are, what are you FOR? What world are YOU actually building?

I sat with this question for three months during my sabbatical in Europe. In today's episode, I share three different arcs I'm exploring:

• Circular economies, capping your income and redistributing wealth, and The Art of Enough
• Media as activism: what would it look like to change the world and flood our feeds with joy, imagination and silliness?
• Humanity as your brand

In order to build a new world and bring people in, you have to be the first citizen of your own first. Make it magnetizing, captivating, and SO articulate, it's a no-brainer for people to jump in.

Tune in as I share the steps I'm taking to lay down the bricks, and the point of these pursuits.

This podcast launched in 2017. For almost a decade, it's operated under "In My Non-Expert Opinion". Now, it's time to take the mask off.

We all have that one friend who we sprint to when we need a breakup text drafted, spruce up our vanilla cover letter, or edit a flimsy apology, because we know how much words carry weight. They're spells. Today, Lois Mac, THE word wizard who focuses on strategic communication layered with uncensored expression, comes on to help humans stop performing expression and start saying the damn thing.

Lois reminds us:

• When you lose your words, you lose yourself. Lois built her entire identity around language, then moved to a small Costa Rican town after having her first baby, surrounded by people who spoke only Spanish, and the woman who always had the right words suddenly had none... what she couldn't have known then is that was entirely the point.
• The creative elephant never forgets. When you're not saying the real thing, every piece of content, every project, every newsletter becomes a hostage to it; your creativity doesn't leave, it just sits in the corner, arms crossed, waiting.
• Trying harder is a one-way ticket to the void. The void is a compass that shows up when you've drifted so far from yourself you're basically a human LinkedIn post, arriving not to destroy you but to say: come back to your actual voice.
• Write the unsendable thing. A daily writing practice that's purely for you (no feed, algorithm, or audience) is where your public voice quietly gets built.
• Presence beats vocabulary every time. Deep, juicy, family-level friendships are built on showing up, staying in the room after saying the wrong thing, and learning to laugh at yourself, not perfect sentence structure.

This conversation is for those in the middle of identity shapeshifting, multi-lingual multi-hyphenates, who need a permission slip to say the thing you've been swallowing. She gives us a gentle but firm reminder that the most radical creative act available to you right now is NOT the next launch, the next rebrand, or the next post — it's just being the person who's already here.

Visionaries, this one's for you. For the ones who hold the vision of the future, the ones constantly evolving in a market that rewards sameness, and the sensitive souls who feel it all, aching to scream their message from the rooftop, but end up diluting their message for palatability, listen in.

Nina Chin — Identity Mentor, Creation Consultant, and fellow 6/2 visionary — joins me to talk about the peculiar loneliness of time-traveling through your own business, why outgrowing your audience is part of evolving, and what it actually means to build wealth that redistributes rather than hoards.

Themes from the episode:

• The Visionary Gap: How to hold the vision of the future while staying present
• Identity Shapeshifting as Evolution, Not Abandonment: Outgrowing your audience might be part of the process
• The Myth of the Monthly Revenue Screenshot: We dismantle why the "consistent $50K months" narrative is a golden cage
• The Wound of the Uncredited Visionary: We wade into the tension between wanting recognition for planting seeds three years ago and trusting the butterfly effect 
• Wealth as Redistribution, Not Accumulation: We dream out loud about generous entrepreneurship — scholarships, family flights paid for, and wealth moving through hands that will do good with it
• 2027: A BIG paradigm shift is coming. Nina shares why we need sit in silence, find safety inside yourself, and trust your vision

If you're ready to align your business with your actual design instead of someone else's blueprint, connect with Nina and give yourself permission to build something unheard of — because that's where the gold lives.
