In this episode of The Coaching Circle, Toni sits down with businesswoman, coach and pro-ageing advocate Tass Schmidt. With decades of commercial experience spanning Australia, China, and Europe, Tass brings a powerful blend of leadership insight and deep humanity to the conversation.

After noticing how often ageing was equated with limitation, Tass founded Life Reset, a coaching and speaking enterprise that redefines what it means to grow older. Her mission? To inspire individuals and communities to see ageing as a time of expansion, not decline.

Toni and Tass dive into the unique challenges people face later in life like retirement, identity loss, and navigating major transitions such as relationship breakdowns, and why having a sense of purpose is the most powerful antidote. They explore the emotional and psychological impacts of this phase, particularly for men, and how we can create a new paradigm of ageing that is vibrant, intentional, and full of possibility.

With her expertise in NLP, Time Line Therapy® and Hypnotherapy, Tass shares practical tools and perspectives to help people in their 60s and beyond reconnect to their identity, set meaningful goals, and approach this chapter with confidence and clarity.

Topics Discussed:

•  Why ageing is often misunderstood and how to reclaim it
•  What really happens for people after retirement or divorce
•  The emotional toll of identity loss and the end of traditional roles
•  How men are uniquely impacted by ageing and transition
•  The increase in isolation, drinking, and gambling and how to shift it
•  The importance of having something “big” you’re working toward
•  What it means to age with intention and design a meaningful next chapter
•  How healing the wounded masculine contributes to personal and collective growth

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly overthinking your content, perfecting your messaging, or tweaking your offers just to be more “likable”... this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth:

You don’t need to be more polished.

You need to be more present.

In this episode, we explore the difference between presence and performance in business and why your ability to be witnessed in truth is what makes you magnetic.

We talk about the subtle ways performance shows up (even in leadership), and how shifting into presence changes everything from content creation to client attraction to sales.

This isn’t about being loud.

It’s about being real and leading from congruence, not control.

Topics Discussed:

• How performance energy creates pressure and disconnection
• What presence really is and why it magnetizes
• The key mindset shift that makes content and selling easier
• How your presence affirms your clients’ identity
• Why presence creates transformation, and performance avoids it

💬 DM me on Instagram if this landed with you. I’d love to hear how you’re shifting into presence this week.

Another major company has shut its doors and just like that, thousands of people are left scrambling. But here’s the thing…

Whether it’s an MLM, a certification body, a company you contract to or a job, it’s never truly secure unless you are the one leading the vision.

In this episode, I’m sharing why having your own vision is essential for long term sustainability in business and how to stop outsourcing your safety to someone else’s structure.

I also share a personal story of how I’ve dealt with similar situations in business that could’ve derailed me but didn’t..

Why? Because I’d already built a personal brand that allowed my business to evolve naturally. I wasn’t just tied to someone else’s structure, I was known for the transformation I create.

This episode is a call to action for anyone still building their business on someone else’s system. Whether you’re certified in a modality, part of a company or in a role that feels “secure”, this is your reminder that true security comes from your own vision, voice and skillset.

Topics Discussed:

• Why solely aligning with someone else’s vision is risky
• The real reason so many people feel lost when companies shut down
• What it means to build a personal brand that evolves with you
• My story of partnering with other businesses and what happened when it ended
• Why your modality isn’t your brand, you are
• How to create long term safety through vision, alignment and skills

💬 DM me on Instagram if you’re ready to build a business that’s truly yours and create real security from the inside out.

So many coaches and business owners say they want more. More clients, more money, more opportunities, but they haven’t yet looked at how visible they’re willing to be.

Because here’s the truth:

You can’t receive what you’re not willing to be seen for.

In this episode, we dive deep into the energetic and strategic connection between visibility and receiving in business. We explore why visibility isn’t just about showing up online, it’s about trusting yourself to be a safe space for attention, clients, money and emotions.

You’ll also hear why many of us unconsciously associate visibility with power and how that can trigger fears of becoming selfish or out of integrity. The key? Trusting that you can hold more without losing yourself.

This episode is a powerful reminder that being visible isn’t about performance, it’s about presence. It’s a receiving practice. And it’s one of the most important shifts you can make to grow your business in an aligned and abundant way.

Topics Discussed:

• Why your business can’t give you what you won’t allow yourself to receive
• The unconscious fear that attention, money and power will change you
• How self-trust creates safety for visibility and growth
• What it really means to be visible (beyond just showing up online)
• Simple shifts to step into aligned visibility and open the flow of receiving

💬 DM me on Instagram if you’re ready to step into your next level of visibility and create a business that receives effortlessly!

Many coaches and business owners fall into the trap of defining their value by the struggles they help people overcome. But what if your true power isn’t in fixing problems but in activating possibilities?

In this episode, I share a powerful reframe that will shift the way you see your business, your marketing, and your role as a coach. Because here’s the truth: You are not just a problem solver. You are a catalyst for transformation. Your value isn’t in how much struggle you relate to, it’s in the future you can guide people toward.

I’ll also share a pivotal moment from seeing Gabor Maté live, where someone asked whether staying in struggle made them more relatable as a coach. 

This episode will help you step into your next level of leadership, charge your worth with confidence, and attract clients who are ready to rise and not just escape problems.

Topics Discussed:

• Why defining your value by struggles keeps you stuck
• The biggest shift: Seeing yourself as an activator instead of a fixer
• How to attract clients who want transformation, not just relief
• The hidden weight of "pain point marketing" and what to do instead
• What I learned from Gabor Maté about being more than just relatable
• Why embodying the solution is more valuable than understanding the problem

💬 DM me on Instagram if you’re ready to step into your next level of leadership and create a business that attracts clients effortlessly!

Most business owners struggle with sales, not because they’re bad at it but because they’ve been taught to approach it all wrong. If you’ve ever felt like selling is awkward, pushy or just not you, this episode will change everything.

Because here’s the truth: You are never selling yourself.

Selling isn’t about proving your worth, convincing people, or making yourself ‘look good’ enough for someone to buy. That feels gross because it’s not true.

What you’re actually selling is a vision. A movement. A way of thinking, operating, and thriving that you deeply believe in. And when you see it that way, sales stops feeling icky. It starts feeling like leadership.

This episode will help you shift the way you see sales forever so it feels natural, aligned and even… fun.

Topics Discussed:

• Why sales feel hard (and how to shift your mindset)
• The biggest sales mistake: Thinking you’re selling yourself
• How to sell in a way that feels good to you (and attracts the right people)
• The power of invitation over persuasion in sales conversations
• How to overcome resistance and fear around selling

💬 DM me on Instagram with the word MAGNETIC if you’re ready to make sales effortless and aligned!
