If you've been waiting to be a coach because you're afraid of judgement, afraid to fail, don't think you're experienced enough...these women have been there, done that! And they'll share how they worked through these fears to get where they are today.

You're going to love this episode if you need a kick in the butt to just start your coaching biz already! These women will motivate you and show you that it's possible for YOU to be an entrepreneur and coach, just like it's been possible for them.

You'll also hear about their biggest struggles and triumphs, how they found their soul-aligned niches, and what it took for them to start seeing results.

I love that our programs have been such a huge part of her journey and I can't wait to share this episode with you guys!

The main goal of her coaching business is to provide personalized mental and physical health plans, and help women in recovery release physical and emotional weight and finally feel good in their body. Kaylen is committed to helping build up the global recovery community so that people in recovery and their loved ones always have a support network to turn for support.

You guys are in for a treat today as I catch up with a fellow mastermind coach, Kristen Ramezzana! Kristen is a relationship coach who helps women find and prepare for their soulmate.

Kristen has actually been a coach for about 10 years, working her way through fitness and nutrition, life coaching, and now relationship coaching, which is the niche she just switched into this year when the corona virus quarantined us all and Kristen realized she was actually burnt out and unfulfilled with her current niche.

I wanted to bring Kristen on the podcast because I know how HARD it can be to switch up your business, especially if you've been running it for a few years, like Kristen had. On this episode she talks about how she prepared to do that, WHY she ended up switching, and how she knew this was the right move for her.

We also dig into money a LOT on this episode and talk all about our investments, entrepreneur debt and how it differs from regular debt, shame around investing and ultimately our debt stories. It's a fun episode as Kristen and I get to know each other more and share intimate details of our lives.

One thing I want you all to take away from this episode is this...you will NEVER feel ready to start your business or to pivot your business! It will always feel scary! So be sure you take that leap and stop wasting precious time!

As Kristen shares on this episode, TIME is our most valuable asset. Money can be created in an instant, but time is something we never get back. So be sure you're spending your time wisely!

If you enjoy this episode I'd love for you to let us know by sharing it on your Instagram stories and tagging us! I'm @punchdrunksoul and Kristen is @Kristen_Ramezzana

OK let's get into this interview...

Aha Moments:

• When is the right time to pivot your business
• How to heal from burnout and the "hustle" culture
• What Kristen lost by playing it safe and doing what was comfortable instead of what she truly wanted
• Why money is not the most valuable resource
• Why the Universe WILL provide for you...if you stay in action
• Why we can't compare our finances to friends who aren't entrepreneurs
• If you want a different life you have to start acting differently

I am obsessed with this episode guys!! You can hear my excitement for Kristin as she shares her recent wins with me during this chat. Her story reminds me a lot of my own with the amount we've invested in ourselves and our businesses that took years to pay off - but then it was ALL worth it as you'll hear in this episode.

Kristin and I met about 2 years ago when both her and I were still getting our businesses really up and running. Kristin was struggling with debt after investing about $20K in her business the first year and not earning anything in return. It's been SO inspiring to see how far she's come since then and how she was able to use the skills and knowledge she'd picked up from investing in herself and finally turn a huge profit.

Just a reminder that it all happens with TIME and effort and patience!

Kristin is a work at home mom who now runs multiple businesses and helps many other people create success in their business as well. She is an expert in the delicate art of juggling a family and running a wildly successful empire. I love how she shares with us how she does it all - being a mom, having her husband working thousands of miles away in Japan, and runs a business that just the other week did $32K in sales!

Recently, Kristin has pivoted her business to Monetized Mama, which is now an agency that helps mom influencers monetize their audience and skills and build service-based businesses that generate money while they sleep.

We talk a lot about this pivot and how Kristin recognized an opportunity happening during these challenging economic times. It was great to dive into this because I know so many of us often feel like things are so bleak, but it's truly during times of hardship that new millionnaires and successful businesses are made and Kristin is an amazing example of this.

One of my favorite parts of this episode is hearing how Kristin manages to run her business successfully while maintaining a happy home life with her faith, fitness, family, finances, and then her business. Something to thing about - what are your priorities and are you focusing on them effectively?

I know I started implementing a new schedule after this podcast interview and started working out first thing in the AM because my health and fitness is important to me, but I have been putting it behind my business for the last couple of months now in quarantine. This episode inspired me to change things up, so listen in closely and maybe change up a few things in your life.

If you enjoy this episode I'd love for you to let us know by sharing it on your Instagram stories and tagging us! I'm @punchdrunksoul and Kristin is @kristinarilus

OK let's get into this interview...

Aha Moments:

• How Kristin went from $20K in debt to making $32K in 11 days
• How Kristin stopped operating from what was in her bank account and focused on where she wanted to be in 10 years to find success
• How to choose which investment is the right next step for you (and which ones aren't)
• How Kristin's shame around being successful around her family kept her from earning big and how she healed this to tap into abundance
• How to be successful as a mom with young kids in business

Today I'm sharing an interview with Christine Dovidio who is a coach working with people to help them ease their mental health and autoimmune issues without medication so they can feel happier and more present in their lives.

Christine is a single mom who has always been working jobs that never felt aligned with her soul or her purpose. She was feeling mentally & emotionally drained at the end of each work day and as the years passed she noticed a theme. She always felt unsettled in what she was doing but she always felt aligned & happy when she was being of service to others.

So in 2018 she started a Reiki business and recently she decided she also wanted to become a coach, which is when she stumbled across me and Punch Drunk Soul and my 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge.

In just 6 weeks Christine was able to land her first $700 coaching client and she has continued working with clients since the program ended. For the first time in her life she feels truly aligned with the work she is doing and that she's on the right path, doing what she's meant to be doing.

Listen in on this episode if you've ever struggled with anxiety, depression, or panic attacks. Listen in if you want a reminder of why alone time is so important or why your kids are your greatest motivator. Listen in if you want to hear how to overcome shyness to promote your business, something Christine had to overcome early on in Path to Freedom.

If you enjoy this episode I'd love for you to let us know by sharing it on your Instagram stories and tagging us! I'm @Punchdrunksoul and Christine is @christine_dovidio.

If you're wanting to start your own coaching business, or you've started but you aren't getting clients, send me a DM on Instagram, @punchdrunksoul, so I can learn a bit more and help you out. I will personally respond! Just write me and say "HELP!" and I'll get you moving forward.

Listen in to this interview if you've ever found yourself searching for happiness and fulfillment outside yourself because Amanda shares how she was able to stop that toxic pattern and finally create her own happiness here in this episode.

She's been able to overcome a lot of past trauma, limiting beliefs, money stories to get where she is today, helping her high-ticket clients get massive results in their lives - all while still working a 9-5.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast - the best podcast for new and aspiring coaches who want to jumpstart and grow soul aligned businesses!

I'm your host Ali Daniel, hopefully you know that by now! Today I am sharing an interview with Madison Morrigan.

Madison is a 4x international award winning life coach, speaker, and creator of Awaken Her Soul, a 14 week mentorship program designed to help womxn embody their worth, power and fullness. Centered on self-responsibility and full expression, Madison coaches ambitious and creative womxn as shed layers of old programming keeping them small and finally come home to their true selves.

Ah, this interview is pure magic. I could feel my heart and soul engulfed in a blanket of pure love during and after this interview if that makes any sense…

I've actually been following Madison on Instagram since the beginning of my own coaching journey. She's someone who really stood out to me in the beginning as someone who was truly genuine and authentic. I loved her energy then and I love her energy now.

She's incredibly wise beyond her years - I was shocked to hear she was just 29! She's been through quite an extraordinary life that I think will inspire you all listening as a reminder of what's possible, no matter your circumstances.

Madison's childhood was very traumatic but through each step in her healing journey she's learned how to set better boundaries, feel at home in her body, become her true self and fulfill a deeper purpose here.

And now she coaches other women how to do the same. I love this interview because it took us in so many different directions that I never could have planned for or anticipated!

From understanding and healing childhood trauma, feminine consciousness, how she grew her coaching business on sheer enthusiasm alone, to how she's learned how to manage her energy and boundaries on social media and with her online business.

We also explore the dark side of the coaching industry which I think is so necessary as the coaching industry continues to boom. It's important for everyone to have a clear idea of who they should trust as well as how to BE an online entrepreneur - because sometimes our identity can get so lost in the online space.

This interview is a gentle reminder to all of us that WE are not what we do, we're not our business, we're not our results, we are so much more than that. And that sense of worthiness we seek through all the external accomplishments can only be found within. I hope you love this interview as much as I do and take notes because you will want to keep these golden nuggets of wisdom with you when it ends!

Be sure to follow me and Madison on Instagram @MadisonMorrigan and share a screenshot on your stories if you listen to this episode! We'd love to give you a shoutout!

Ok, let's get into this interview!

Aha Moments:

• Starting a coaching business at 23 and growing it from sheer enthusiasm
• Making mistakes publicly and sharing a journey online
• How to manage your boundaries and energy on social media and with an online business
• How worthiness is one of the deepest core wounds we can have and how to heal it
• Trauma doesn't live in thought, it lives in the body and needs to be healed through the body
• How growth and healing is never a linear journey
• Changing her business name after 5 years

Today I'm bringing on another client of mine who is just absolutely crushing it, continuing to enroll clients and grow her business week after week once she started it back in our program Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator. Her name is Nicole Miller and I'm excited to share her story with you guys today because she is just another example of how starting your own coaching business is POSSIBLE for anyone who feels a calling for it.

Nicole didn't have any special friends in high places or fancy skills you don't happen to know about that's made her business successful. In fact, Nicole has a pretty tough past. In what seems like a lifetime ago, Nicole was into drugs and landed in prison at one point, all while never feeling good in her body.

Now, Nicole is a happy, healthy mother and wife, prison counselor and coach for women, and the founder of The Life I Crave. She helps women transform their relationships with food and their body. As someone who overcame years of chronic dieting and negative self image, she has a deep passion for helping other women discover their own true worth so they can live from a place of joy and confidence. Between coaching and her 10+ years working as a counselor Nicole has helped hundreds of people transform their lives.

Listen in to this interview if you need a kick in the butt to get your business started because Nicole's story is as motivational as it is practical.

One thing to take away from this interview is this - if YOU don't believe you can do it, you will never be successful. Period.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast - the best podcast for new and aspiring coaches who want to jumpstart and grow soul aligned businesses! Let's get into this interview today! You guys are going to LOVE it.

Today I'm sharing an interview with Morgan Meese.

Morgan is a business mentor, physical therapist, and wellness coach. After trying out a Physical Therapist job in a corporate position right after school, she quickly realized that she wanted more out of life than a 9-5 job that only left her with severe anxiety and depression. She reached out to me early on when she was first starting to realize this but she was scared to take the leap into her own business.

We kept in contact and about 6 months later...she was ready, she had had enough of the 9-5 atmosphere.

During Path to Freedom she started her own business with a cash-based physical therapy practice where she was in charge of the way she helped her clients made her feel alive again. She started developing a deeper wellness coaching program but then realized her passion lied more in business. When the Corona Virus hit she was already well positioned, having had started seeing clients virtually, and soon enough other practitioners started reaching out to her asking her to help them start their telehealth practices.

That's where her program, 30 Day Telehealth Launch Intensive, was born! She now teaches other clinicians how to set up their own telehealth practices fast so they can start working with clients in a way that serves them too.

This interview is special because Morgan and I have known each other for a while now and this is essentially just a coffee chat with friends that you get to listen in on. We focus a lot on how focusing on one idea is really important instead of spreading yourself too thin, why everyone can and should start their own business these days, how to start your business with just ONE client at a time, and so much more.

Morgan also shares some important tips on how to find the right coach for you because she and I both believe that you should be investing in yourself and your business the same way people invest in college education.

If you're curious about the program Morgan graduated from, Path to Freedom, you can check it out at Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom. Enrollment just opened up today for the next few days until spots fill up! Be sure to book a call to see if it's a good fit before all the call times are taken!

This is a great episode for new or aspiring coaches who need a jolt of inspiration to just get out there and start their business!

Again, if you're interested in learning more about the program Morgan just graduated from you can go to Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom because we are opening up the program for enrollment today for just a few days until Monday the 15th. You can book a call with my team and I to discuss if this program 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, let's get into this interview!

Aha Moments:

• Why you need to hone in on one idea and focus to have success
• How to pick the right business idea to pursue
• Why it's such a big deal to enroll your first client
• Why everyone should start a business these days
• How to map out what success looks like for you
• Why working with a mentor or coach is the fast track to your goals
• How to find the right coach for you
