Today I am doing something a little different! Instead of our beloved interviews, I'm actually sharing an audio version of a FB LIVE I did back towards the start of lockdown in April 2020. I wanted to share this with you guys now because it's something I've felt called to share - this idea that the world needs leaders and healers to really step up right now. To share their messages, to support, to be of service. There are too many coaches, aspiring coaches, healers, and women out there who want to make an impact in this world, but are hiding, or afraid.

This is your sign from the Universe. A sign that you were meant to hear this podcast and to rise up starting NOW. No more waiting. Being ready is a myth. Perfection is a myth. What the world needs is YOU. You showing up. You showing up in your authentic light, messy, true, genuine. That's all. You don't need to be buttoned up or have certifications up your sleeve. You just need to show up messy but DO IT.

So again, this podcast is a calling for you to start showing up if you've been playing small or hiding. I am calling you forward, lovingly, compassionately, but sternly - we need to show up. All of us.

I wanted to air this podcast so that you could learn what is needed of you right now and how to show up effectively. How to do so out of courage and how to have success with it.

Your family, friends, community, audience and the WORLD is in a time of great need. What are YOU doing to show up? And are you doing all that you're truly called to do?

For those of you who ARE ready for next steps, and want to learn how to become a coach so you can share your wisdom and guidance with others, go to punchdrunksoul.com/coach101 to download my free "How to Start a Profitable Coaching Biz without Certification" guidebook. It'll walk you through next steps in launching your business, cutting out the overwhelm and focusing on the #1 secret profitable coaches know and use that broke coaches don't. You'll even be able to workshop your very own proprietary coaching method with this guidebook using my printable template.

If you're ready to just move forward with your business and get the shortcuts to all this go to Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom. You can book a call with my team and I to discuss if working together is the right fit for you. Please note that not everyone will be admitted into the program, it's an invitation only program and the women are hand-picked by our enrollment team to join.

Ok enjoy this episode, take some notes and let me know what you think of it on Instagram. Would love for you to share your favorite tip or takeaway from this episode on your stories and tag me in it! @Punchdrunksoul - I would love to give you a shoutout.

Today I'm speaking with Kiki Smith was a housewife for 15 years before she decided to start her own business and turn it into a coaching empire. She learned to ditch the get-more-followers grind of the fitness industry in pursuit of the true freedom she was seeking.

Her goal is to help underpaid fitness professionals prioritize, strategize and streamline their businesses, so they can stop chasing likes, make $$$ online, and be so absorbed in LIVING their best life that forget to post about it online.

It seems like Kiki and I both live by the same principles - making your business fun and doing the least amount of work to yield the best results. Now some people LOVE work so they won't resonate as much with this philosophy, but for those of you who want to LOVE what you do, but don't want it to take over your lives, listen in to this episode.

I appreciate Kiki's perspective because she's been coaching for many years now, growing her business getting coached from one mentor to the next. But something we discuss in this episode is how we often emulate our mentors' businesses, without ever stopping to think "WHAT DO I WANT?"

And that can lead to burnout and some disastrous businesses. So the key we share is to emulate, then reflect, then take action on what YOU truly want. Don't re-invent the wheel, DO what your mentors do, but then reflect and keep what YOU want, leave the rest behind.

You guys...STOP MAKING IT HARDER THAN IT IS! Clients are everywhere! They are WAITING for you to pop in on the conversations they're already having. So find where they are, and share your value with them there! Where the conversation is ALREADY happening!

We also talk about how Kiki made the transition from housewife and mom to successful coach in this episode and the tough conversations that she had with her husband and family to make it work. This is a POWERFUL interview for all your mompreneurs and moms turned coaches out there. You don't want to miss these tips from Kiki!

Oh but before we dive into this interview, as a reminder, if you are a new and aspiring coach who wants to create a high-impact, soul aligned coaching business and land paid clients in just a matter of 6 weeks or less - DM me now on Instagram and say "COACH". I will follow up and show you how you can structure your signature coaching offering and land your first paid clients.

Also, stay tuned over the next few weeks for a very special announcement! The 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge is BACKKKKK!! We're mixing things up this time and you will be able to take home the challenge with you for GOOD and repeat the soul-alignment process whenever you want! Can't wait to share the details with you guys soon!

Ok let's get into this interview! Be sure to let us know if you're listening by posting a screenshot of this episode and tagging us on instagram, Kiki is @eatmore2weighless and I'm at @punchdrunksoul and let us know what you think of this interview!

• How to get your family to get behind you and support your new coaching business
• The right conversations to have with your partner to make sure you have what you need to grow your coaching biz
• Why conversations with your ideal clients IS your research and how it leads to real, paid clients faster than you'd think
• How to pivot your coaching business gracefully without all the fear

This week we're speaking with Ashlee Smith, a new coach who's just launched as of late last year who enrolled 2 paying clients into her first coaching program. Listen in to this episode to find out what it's been like for her to start her coaching business as she's navigated a significant illness, battled the negative stereotypes of life coaches, and facing the doubts and fears in herself that almost made her quit.

I love hearing how Ashlee has found her purpose through her illness, just like I did, how she developed her confidence as a coach by actually COACHING her clients (not waiting around to feel ready!) and how she believed in herself because she had the calling to be of service.I 100% believe that if you're called to be a coach and to serve, guide and help others, that this path is FOR you and that there's no way you can fail. You just need to take your first step, and keep taking each step, one after the other, to get where you want to go.

Ashlee is a great example of this!

This is the program Ashlee graduated from back in October that was integral to her starting her business and landing her first paid clients.

In just 6 weeks together, we were able to help Ashlee hone in on her niche and the problem she wanted to help her clients solve, develop her own proprietary framework for her coaching AND land 2 coaching clients.

Ok let's get into this interview! Be sure to let us know if you're listening by posting a screenshot of this episode and tagging us on instagram, Ashlee is @discoveringsparks and I'm at @punchdrunksoul and let us know what you think of this interview!

• How Ashlee worked through her quarter life crisis to become a coach
• What illness truly means and how it helps us find our purpose
• Dealing with the negative "coach" connotation in society
• Why you're doing a disservice to others if you have solutions to their problems but you're too scared to help them
• Why being drawn to something means it's actually FOR you
• Why people procrastinate and feel a lack of motivation

Today I am doing something a little different! Instead of our beloved interviews, I'm actually sharing an audio version of a coaching session I had with one of our Path to Freedom students, Tiffany Lanette.

It's such a powerful exercise to talk out your ideas, your gifts, and your passions with a coach who can ask directed questions and start pointing you in the right direction, which is exactly what I do on this call with Tiffany.

I am so excited to share this interview with you guys because I think you'll see a very realistic view of what a typical coaching business journey looks like in the beginning. I think all too often we see those 0 to 6-figures in 1 year stories and think THAT is the norm, when in reality that's like 1% or less of coaches. Lariah Smith is a Mindset Coach who helps newbie online entrepreneurs master their emotions and sales process so they can create abundance in their business without the emotional overwhelm.

What I love about Lariah is her "tell it like it is"' style, her unique perspectives on mindset + manifestation & soulful approach to overcoming adversity and trauma in her own life. You're going to love her energy and open and honest perspective on what it takes to really start your business when you come from a life of hardship.

Lariah shares that at one point she started donating plasma to afford to continue to invest in herself and her business - now THAT is resourcefulness y'all! When you're willing to do whatever it takes, that's when your business is going to succeed and I think Lariah is such a great example of this.

She came from a past full of childhood trauma and turned it into her own coaching business, AFTER doing the inner work on herself to break free from old conditioning. It all started with Path to Freedom - the program where she learned to develop a strong mindset and overcome adversity. From there she set out on a deep, yearlong journey to heal and become the powerful coach she is today.

Be sure to follow Lariah over on Instagram and let her know what you thought of her interview! She's @lariahlenay and I'm @punchdrunksoul

Today I'm speaking with Genecia Alluora. Genecia Alluora is a former Miss Singapore turned business coach as the founder of Soul Rich Woman, the #1 female entrepreneur network in Southeast Asia that connects more than 200,000 women across the region in the 'Soul F' membership

program. She mentors thousands of women to bring their business and leadership brand online.

Before establishing her coaching business, Soul Rich Woman, Genecia was an owner of a successful cafe retail chain.

What is incredible about Genecia's story is that as young as 14 years of age, Genecia had to support herself through school where she was often bullied.

Genecia has gone through the highs and lows of being a business owner which we share on this episode. How she went from being in a six-figure debt to becoming a millionaire in 2013, to how this fuelled her passion to support women to do the same - to own the F-word - Freedom in their lives.

We touch on many things in this interview from building a memorable brand online, to being resourceful as you're starting your business, how to handle rejection and No's, the concept of value exchange and why it's important to charge for your work, 2 tips for getting out of debt, how to find a coach or mentor, and how to really define your niche online effectively.

I appreciate Genecia's take on growing her business, as it's certainly different from mine and it's always nice to hear different perspectives. I teach more of a top down approach, starting with high ticket clients so you can earn an income to then create smaller, more affordable programs for the masses, whereas Genecia teaches the other way, a bottom-up approach.

You don't want to miss this interview so buckle in and keep this party going!

Oh but before we dive into this interview, as a reminder, if you are a new and aspiring coach who wants to create a high-impact, soul aligned coaching business and land paid clients in just a matter of 6 weeks or less - DM me now on Instagram and say "COACH". I will follow up and show you how you can structure your signature coaching offering and land your first paid clients.

Ok let's get into this interview! Be sure to let us know if you're listening by posting a screenshot of this episode and tagging us on instagram, Genecia is @@geneciaalluora and I'm at @punchdrunksoul and let us know what you think of this interview!

• How to handle rejection and No's in your business
• The concept of value exchange and why it's important to charge for your work

Ok guys, you're in for another amazing, soulful interview with Alex Morris. Alex is a recent graduate of Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator who enrolled 7 clients by the time she left our program for a total of $10,000 in sales! Tune into this episode to find out how Alex took the life experience and knowledge she had and turned it into a high-ticket, high-impact coaching program without the overwhelm.

What I love so much about Alex's story is that she knew she had something more to offer people on a deeper level than she was currently giving them through her yoga teaching, but she didn't know how to structure it into a coaching program.

In just 6 weeks together, we were able to help Alex hone in on her niche and the problem she wanted to help her clients solve, develop her own proprietary framework for her coaching AND land 7 high ticket clients.

Listen in to find out her journey from being at rock bottom to becoming a transformational coach now.

Ok let's get into this interview! Be sure to let us know if you're listening by posting a screenshot of this episode and tagging us on instagram, Alex is @sol.inflow and I'm at @punchdrunksoul and let us know what you think of this interview!

• How to give up the necessary friendships and be alone on your growth journey
• Why uneasiness brings upon change and how to embrace it
• What to do when you feel judged by others
• How to use your feminine energy to succeed in business
• Why not making excuses for herself is Alex's number #1 tip for success
