  • 421. The 3 Types of Posts Every Coach Needs to Start Getting Clients

    Are you showing up on social media but not getting any coaching inquiries? It's not because your content isn't good enough. The problem is that most new coaches don't have a system. They're posting what inspires them instead of what actually moves their audience to become clients.

    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down how to use social media strategically so you can finally start getting clients instead of just likes. You'll learn how to define your content pillars, what type of posts actually build trust, and the three kinds of content every coach needs to create a social media strategy that works.

  • 420. Can You Really Change Your Attachment Style? Dr. Judy Ho Says Yes

    Do you ever wonder why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns, even when you know better? Or why you feel totally secure with some people but anxious, avoidant, or distant with others? The truth is, your attachment style might have more to do with it than you think.

  • 419. How to Turn "I Love Your Content" Into "How Can I Work With You?"

    Are you getting likes, comments, and DMs on your posts but no actual clients? It's one of the most frustrating parts of building a coaching business online. The truth is, engagement feels good, but likes don't pay the bills. Without a system to turn those conversations into conversions, you'll stay stuck in the "almost" phase.

    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down the three simple shifts you can make to turn engagement into paying clients. You'll learn how to lead conversations naturally (without feeling pushy), how to use your Instagram Stories to create connection and build trust, and how to make it easy for people to understand what you offer and take the next step.

    If you've been stuck in the "people love my content but no one's buying" loop, then this episode is for you.

    Have you ever tried explaining your coaching offer—only to find yourself rambling, overexplaining, or feeling like it's not landing at all?
