June 23, 202322: How to hire the right-fit coach after a bad experience
Negative experiences or “bad” investments are common in business, but I believe much of it is preventable. And while I'm hopeful that the culture shift in the coaching industry will lead to better client satisfaction, it's crucial to equip ourselves with tools to navigate the current landscape so you can avoid harmful experiences and make discerning choices when hiring.
That’s why today we’re exploring rebuilding self-trust and finding the right fit after a negative experience. In true Shari fashion, I’ve synthesized my perspective into a 5-step process you can use if you’re ready to seek support after a disappointing investment.
In this episode, I’m walking you through:
A framework to assess past experiences, uncover valuable insights, and make grounded decisions for your next hire

My personal experiences, both positive and negative, in hiring business coaches and mentors

Specific interview questions to ask your next coach or mentor

How to spot red flags and green flags during the interview stages

When to get outside perspective in your decision-making process and what to do if you don’t have a strong support system available to process with

Overcoming decision paralysis and how to move forward when you’re torn between choosing the right program or coach
Whether you are looking for your next mastermind to join or 1:1 coach to support you as your expand, I hope this episode gives you some helpful tools to navigate your “interview” process so you can benefit from being fully, deeply supported in your business journey.
I would love to hear your thoughts on today’s episode - send me a DM on Instagram with your perspective (it’s actually me in there who will be responding!). I love hearing from you!

June 16, 202321: Becoming trustworthy through content and resolving your potential client’s objections in advance
Struggling to turn followers into paying clients? Then today’s episode is for you! I dug wayyy back into the archives to grab this training from my marketing strategy & consulting days so I could walk you through a simple yet incredibly effective 3-step framework to make your audience feel seen, supported, and confident in hiring you.
We’re diving into:
Why addressing objections is an important part of creating sales through your marketing and content

How to listen to your audience and actually identify their potential objections so you can create content that truly resonates with them (and so you can increase bookings and attract the right people into your programs)

Practical tools to help you craft content that directly addresses your audience’s concerns, helps you build trust, and reduces conversion time

Why I recommend focusing on creating *sustainable* sales in your business (and how this connects to emotional and financial safety in business)
After 8+ years of working on launches across so many industries, I’ve learned the POWER of anticipating your people’s needs before they’ve ever vocalized them, and I’m a pro at helping my clients respond to their audience in a way that works for THEM so they can get fully booked.
If you’re wanting to get people off the fence and onto your calendar using a simple, human-centered marketing approach, then hit play!

June 02, 202319: [Case study] The messy middle of business growth and unraveling the myth of overnight success
Today’s case study looks at the less glamorous, messy middle of a business growth journey.
This client’s goal was to book out their 1:1 services, and that didn’t happen by the end of our time working together. And I want to break this down for you to provide perspective on what transformation in business actually looks like and to normalize the journey and unravel the myth of overnight success.
I’m taking you behind-the-scenes to talk about:
How I felt as the coach and how my client felt about them not hitting their goal during our time together

The ways I used strategy & wellbeing as lenses for pinpointing what this client really NEEDED to get ready for what they wanted to create

One way I structure my program to integrate learning and growth to help combat the “on to the next” pattern that high-achieving brains love to default into

The really common but sneaky mental fears that drain business owners who want to grow and expand

The difference between knowing what your problem is to solve and actually solving it

How I think about supporting my clients through resistance (and takeaways for my fellow coaches & service providers for how to support your clients effectively)
Most of the industry showcases the “before” and the “after” but I want to show you the “messy” middle and murky in-between stages of transformation to normalize what growth, expansion, and the business growth journey looks like for many entrepreneurs.
I hope this deeply serves you no matter what goal you’re currently working towards and gives you a new perspective to support you in reaching YOUR version of success long-term.
And if you’d like to get my expert perspective on YOUR specific business, I’d love to support you. I’m offering a limited number of FREE 45-minute coaching sessions.

May 26, 202318: Why executing feels hard and how to get through it
Ever have this big goal or deep desire within you but find yourself unable to take action or move the needle to make it happen for yourself?
Are you lazy? A procrastinator at heart? Is there a part of you that deep down doesn’t actually *want* this thing after all?⁣
In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of my most popular past livestreams on Instagram where we explore why executing in business can feel really hard (even when it’s something you really want) and how to get through it.
We’ll cover:
Why you’re probably not actually “lazy” or a “procrastinator” and why you’re probably stuck in inaction

Perspective shifts to help you reclaim your motivation so you can get shit done

Practical tips and strategies to help you make your goals more manageable so you can overcome inaction

How to create momentum and rebuild trust with yourself around saying you’ll get stuff done
⁣It’s time to stop bargaining with yourself that you’ll get stuff done by X date. And then feel really shitty about yourself when none of that translates into actually making things happen. ⁣
⁣
I hope you walk away from this episode with some practical and mindset tools you can use to release some pressure and start taking action from a place of lightness instead!

As an early stage entrepreneur, you know building an audience is key to your long-term growth.
But it’s one thing to build an audience. It’s another thing to build an audience of potential clients.
Maybe you’re getting tons of likes on your photos.

If you’re feeling frustrated because your audience seems to really love your work but you aren’t seeing that translate into the clients or customers you desire, today’s episode is for you!
We’ll cover:
How to make your content resonate more with your ideal client (and whether cute pet pictures have a role!)

How to use your favorite inspirational quotes to drive sales

The power of giving the engagement you want to receive—and the valuable insights you’ll gain in return

May 12, 202316: I’m not trying to be an asshole but…somebody lied to you about scaling
I’m nervous-excited to be introducing a brand new series to the podcast! In the first episode in the series, I’m breaking down my biggest problems with how the online entrepreneurs and personal development experts talk about scaling. There are SO many inaccurate things circulating about what it means to run a business and what it means to scale, and I’d like to unpack these things that I’m finding problematic and share what my perspective is instead.
In today’s episode we’ll dig into:
Why I’m adding this series to the podcast and why I’ve been worried about speaking up about these topics in the past (if you don’t care about this context and just want the content + takeaways, skip ahead to 10:00 in the episode!)
What scaling actually is, why you may want to scale your business, and why it’s not for every business owner - plus a filter question to help you clarify whether or not it’s aligned with your individual values & desires
My biggest issue with the idea of running a business on autopilot, scaling passively or self-scaling strategies
The context that will help you make sense of why THE thing that will help you scale fast isn’t ONE thing and yet everyone online is marketing their strategy as THE solution (and not lying)
I hope this spicier-than-usual episode serves you big time and gives you so much permission to look critically at the dominant narratives in our space around scaling along with some more useful filters and perspectives to draw on instead so you can build a business that supports you!

May 05, 202315: The most solvable problem in business (that determines your success in tough seasons)
It’s no secret that decision fatigue is a major challenge for entrepreneurs, and it doesn’t discriminate. Whether you’re in the early stages of growing your business or a seasoned/scaling CEO, you're likely making dozens of decisions each day.
And data shows us that the mental and emotional strain of holding too many decisions can lead to poor decision-making, avoidance of decisions, and even burnout.
The good news is that decision fatigue is that this is one of the most solvable problems in business, and I'm excited to share some tools and strategies to help you offload some of the weight that comes with making decisions. With these tips, you'll be able to free up some brainspace and energy for the things that really matter!
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
The most decision-heavy areas in most business where I recommend focusing on so you have the space to grow

3 ways to reduce decision overwhelm so you can free up your mental capacity for the things that really matter to you

Why solving for decision fatigue is such a smart strategy to support you with launching more peacefully

My favorite way to offload the mental and emotional weight of decisions in my business

How having a coach can help you manage decision fatigue effectively as the CEO of your business (and why this doesn’t make you codependent but actually hella smart and strategic)
I hope this episode helps normalize why running a business can feel so overwhelming AND supports you with practical hacks for navigating decision fatigue more gracefully so you can grow or scale a business that lights you up, makes great money, and honors your capacity!

April 21, 202314: [Case study] Finding the balance between honoring your intuition and listening to your coach
Today we’re breaking down what it’s like to redefine your relationship with authority figures (like coaches or mentors) and learning how to balance listening to your intuition with taking suggestions from those you admire.
In this episode, I’ll share:
What it looks like to disagree with your coach — and the actual Voxer messages I exchanged with a client when this came up during our work together so you can see how we navigated this conversation

The coaching approach we took to repatterning my client’s “fawn” stress response when someone they looked up to gave them advice that didn’t feel aligned

The most important thing you can do as a coach to help your clients create deep inner transformation and long-lasting results
If you’ve ever struggled with balancing following your own inner guidance with putting other people’s opinions on a pedestal, then this episode is for you! I hope it supports you with finding that perfect balance of honoring yourself as the CEO and expert on your business while opening the door for you to be able to receive and be met with the support you desire.
