Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right, working hard, learning more, showing up, and still wondering why you're not moving forward the way you hoped?

In this episode, I'm joined by Lizette Warner, a neuroscience-based executive coach who brings decades of leadership experience and scientific insight to the table. We explore what it really takes to grow into your next level. And here is the truth: it is not about chasing more credentials or working harder.

Lizette shares why your nervous system is at the heart of true leadership, how to recognize when you're stuck in avoidance, and what it actually means to invest in yourself. This conversation is honest, empowering, and exactly what you need if you're ready to stop circling the same growth loop and start stepping into who you are really meant to be.

Tune in and get ready to see your leadership journey in a whole new light.

There's a point in business where everything looks fine on the outside, but inside, you know it's not working anymore.

In this episode, I'm joined by Hannah McKitrick, founder of Dolce Vita Experiences, to talk about what it really looks like to pivot into alignment, and how fun became the smartest business move she ever made.

We break down why forcing strategies that don't feel good won't get you further, and how tuning into joy can shift everything.

If you've been questioning your path or craving more ease and energy in how you work, this is the conversation you need.

Your next coaching client isn't hiding behind a website or a perfect funnel.

They're waiting for a real conversation with someone like you. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly what I did to start booking clients when I had zero digital presence, no list, and no clue where to begin.

We're talking about the truth most coaches never hear when they start out. I break down the simple, human-centered approach that helped me build a coaching business I love, and I'll show you how to do the same.

If you've been stuck in overthinking or overwhelmed by 500 strategies, this conversation will bring you back to what really matters.

One of the fastest ways to build trust with potential clients is through social proof. In this episode, I share why testimonials and reviews are so powerful, the mistakes coaches make when asking for them, and the exact process I use to gather proof that works.

If you have ever worried that asking for testimonials feels like bragging, I will show you how to reframe it so it feels natural and supportive for both you and your clients. You will learn when to ask for a testimonial, why early momentum matters, and how to run a simple progress interview that captures authentic results without any awkwardness.

Social proof is not just about client reviews. Credentials, certifications, and community engagement all play a role in helping people see you as the expert you are. By applying the strategies I share in this episode, you will have a repeatable way to show your credibility, build stronger marketing, and attract more clients.

Tune in and start putting these steps into practice so you can grow your coaching business with confidence.

You know what you want. You've made the plan. So why can't you follow through?

In this episode of The Amanda Kaufman Show, I sit down with Kam Knight, a mental performance expert and bestselling author, to explore the real reason we get stuck, even when we feel clear and motivated.

Kam explains how your brain can create desire while blocking action at the same time. This is the hidden reason behind procrastination, distraction, and that frustrating cycle of starting and stopping.

We also talk about the difference between true generosity and guilt-driven people pleasing, and why saying yes when you want to say no keeps you stuck in patterns you never intended.

If you've ever felt like you're working against yourself, this conversation will shift the way you think about resistance, focus, and your next move.

Follow the show and share this with someone who needs to hear that they are not broken. They are just ready to move forward with clarity.

What if the secret to a more joyful, meaningful life is simply love better?

In this episode, I sit down with Sherry Richert Belul, founder of Simply Celebrate, to explore how love becomes a transformational force when it is intentional, expressed, and practiced daily.

Sherry shares her powerful story of emerging from deep personal darkness through one quiet moment of clarity during a meditation class. A single kind voice inside her changed everything. From that moment forward, she made a conscious decision to show up fully through color, creativity, and celebration.

We talk about why love is not passive, how to make it tangible, and what it means to build a life brick by brick through small acts of care. You will also hear about her upcoming book, The Lovelist of a Lifetime, an end-of-life planner that helps people leave behind clarity, legacy, and love for their families.

This is a heart-opening, soul-nourishing conversation that reminds us all that one light can change everything.

💬 If this episode spoke to your heart, send it to a friend who needs a little light today. And don't forget to follow and leave a review. Your voice helps others find this message.

This episode is a straight-up reminder that coaching is leadership.

If you've been holding back, doubting yourself, or waiting for someone to say "you're ready," this is the conversation you need.

We're talking about what actually holds coaches back. Not skill. Not talent. Avoidance. Avoiding the effort. Avoiding the discomfort. Avoiding the unknown. And let's be real…your future isn't waiting in the comfort zone. It's waiting for you to step into your power.

You don't need someone to choose you. You need to choose yourself. That's what leadership looks like. And the moment you stop hesitating and start leading is the moment everything begins to shift.

If you're ready to move differently, show up fully, and actually lead the way you were meant to, hit play. Let's talk about what it really means to have the courage to coach.
