The Punch Drunk Soul Podcast - Soul Alignment + Business Chats

How Lea started her soul-aligned business and created $1600 with new clients in her first few weeks as a coach.

This is an interview with Lea Grove, who for many years went down the dark rabbit hole of perfectionism and people pleasing. She found herself constantly seeking more and never receiving it until she realized that it had to come from within HER.

This episode is filled with some amazing mindset shifts and stories for you to try on in your own life so that you can not only feel more present in your life, but also attract your dream clients.

We talk a bit about how Lea was able to find the right niche for her, how she attracted her ideal clients, how she generated $1600 in her first few weeks as a coach, and how she's been able to use her own story, recovery journey and life experience to begin her coaching practice.

I know you are going to love this podcast, especially if you KNOW you have so much to give and you have a strong desire to help others but you just don't have the structure or know where to start. Literally just 2 months ago, Lea was just like you. She didn't know how to move forward but she just knew something had to change.

How Robin finally got clarity on her soul aligned coaching business and landed her first client in just 6 weeks after YEARS of posting on social media, consuming books, podcasts, and course after course.

This is an interview with Robin Nicholson, an introvert who just got started on her coaching journey this year and started working with her first paid client in just 6 short weeks.

Just 2 months ago, Robin was just like you. She was SO stuck in her beliefs that she didn't have enough value or experience to offer. She was an introvert who was exhausted from her teaching career but she was struggling to move forward with her own business. She spent years staying busy with things like posting on social media and taking courses to learn more, but she never felt like she had the clarity and experience she needed to actually start working with clients and get paid.

Yet, here she is today, confident, clear, coaching her first client, and absolutely loving her new found clarity and freedom with her business.

From teacher for 9 years to paid coach in 6 weeks...let's do this interview with Elana R Diaz!

Elana started on a journey in October 2019 to figure out what she would do outside of education because she knew it was no longer what she wanted to do. She shares with us on this episode that the worst thing you can do when you're unhappy with something is to stay in it. She even started to realize that her being unhappy in her job was impacting her relationships negatively.

But it was scary to think about leaving teaching because it was all she had ever known professionally and it was also what she thought she SHOULD do after making it her college degree and spending so many years teaching already.

But she realized a lot of the traits she loves about teaching are traits that make a great coach so she decided to check out my free 4 day Soul Aligned Biz challenge and she has just hit the ground running ever since.

Through some deep diving, facing her fears, overcoming judgement, she landed on her soul-aligned niche: helping women release shame and guilt after abortion so they can enjoy their lives and make a future for themselves.

In this episode we talk a lot about what it's like to invest in yourself and how it completely changed the way Elana shows up for herself, her life and her goals. Knowing that she's invested in herself makes her feel like she finally believes in herself - which I'll be the first one to tell you is the first ingredient in success - belief in yourself. Without it, how can you expect to succeed?

Elana also talks about the struggles she faced around not being qualified or "good enough" to coach and how she overcame that fear. What it was like to finally put herself first, and what it's like to start working with her first client.

Get ready for a fun, inspiring story from this new badass coach Elana Diaz who in 6 weeks started working with her first paid client and is now well on her way to creating a full time coaching business in our scale with soul mastermind!

I know you are going to love this podcast, especially if you are curious about coaching but you just don't think you're qualified or could really make it a reality. Literally just 2 months ago, Elana was just like you. She had never really considered coaching as a true career path, and yet here she is today, confident, coaching her first paid client and absolutely loving her new found fulfillment.

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 Elana is @Elana_Renee_Diaz.

Again, if you're interested in checking out the program Elana did with me, Path to Freedom Coach Academy, you can go to punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom to get on the wait list!

OK let's get into this interview - you're going to love it!

Aha Moments:

• The difference investing in herself has made in how Elana shows up for her goals
• How she landed on her soul aligned niche
• What's helped Elana overcome her fears of judgement around her business
• Elana's advice to anyone who's stuck in their own fear

So today we're about to get super woo! If you like super woo, stay on! If you don't this might not be the episode for you but I encourage you to listen because we get into some REALLY good stuff.

Today I'm bringing on Christy Whitman. Christy is a Transformational Leader, Celebrity Coach and the New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Having It All. She has appeared on "Today" and The Morning Show and her work has been featured in People Magazine, Seventeen, Woman's Day, Hollywood Life, and Teen Vogue, among others. Christy is the CEO and founder of the Quantum Success Learning Academy & Quantum Success Coaching Academy.

This interview is almost all about the corona virus, how to manage your emotions and deal with the fears coming up. We also towards the end get into how managing your thoughts and emotions impacts your business and success. We don't get into Christy's story quite as much as normal on this show because it seemed there was a different direction this episode was meant to take!

So here's the woo part - something that I discovered while interviewing Christy is that she's also able to channel light beings and deliver divine messages to us through her. So cool right!? I've never had the experience of speaking with channeled beings before so I'm super awkward as I welcome them onto the show!

But I used the opportunity to speak to The Council, as they call themselves, to ask about this Coronavirus crisis and how we should all handle it.

I think you guys will love hearing the wisdom they share and how you can use it to grow right now.

If you can open your mind to this idea of someone being able to channel other beings then you will really enjoy and get so much from this episode!

I love love love this episode because it hits home for me on so many levels. I live, eat and breathe mindset work, emotional processing work, and alignment work and we really get into the practicals of HOW to do each of these things. Which is so helpful because when you can do each of these things, you WILL 100% without a doubt have success in your life and create what you want.

And for Christy, it all started with a hairstylist. Let's dive into this episode.

Be sure to let us know if you're listening by posting a screenshot of this episode and tagging us on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Christy is @ChristyWhitman1 and let us know what you think of this interview!

Aha Moments:

• The ONE tip to understand how you really do create your own reality
• How you can start channeling messages from divine
• Why emotional inner work is MORE important than mindset work
• The tipping point between lack and abundance is the key to creating more abundance and releasing limitations
• One question to ask yourself to get out of lack and into abundance
• How to use affirmations correctly
• The key to unlocking business success lies in these 2 concepts
• How 1 hour of inner work has been shown to equal 7 hours of physical action

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! The number one podcast made just for coaches! I can say that because it's my podcast. I'm your host Ali Daniel of course.

Today I'm back with an interview with Jennifer Longmore - CEO of soul journeys, elite business coach, best selling author, podcaster and world-renowned as a leading authority on soul purpose. I'm excited to dive into this episode with you guys because we dive into all sorts of topics from Jennifer's journey, bending time & space, Akashic records - what they are and how to use them, when to pivot your business, and SO much more.

This is a juicy episode, filled to the brim with tips, insights and shifts for you to start making in your business now.

One of my favorite takeaways from this episode is when Jennifer talks about doing whatever it takes for your business - to rise above fears and laziness, period, to serve your clients.

This hit me hard because I am by nature, a creature of comfort and I'll just say it...laziness! I'm not the type of person who LOVES hard work. I'm just not. So I've built my business in a way that incorporates a lot of down time and time for fun. But in the beginning I definitely struggled with this. Sometimes laziness would kick in and I just wouldn't put in the work necessary.

Once I started investing heavily in myself, that kind of kicked my laziness to the curb, so that got handled. But if this resonates with any of you out there, I feel ya.

Not everyone is into the whole hustle hard mentality. And that can be hard if you're trying to start a business because you DO have to put in effort and face your fears and overcome laziness.

One of my other favorite parts of this episode is when we get into the Akashic records, what they are, how Jennifer uses them for guidance, and what the records have to say about this Covid19 crisis and how to handle it.

Jennifer shares what the records advise us to do during this time so be sure to listen in closely for that!

We also touch on the key activities you need to be working on right now in your business if you're trying to make some money. I like to call them revenue-generating activities, Jennifer calls them High Dividend Activities. Whatever YOU want to call them, you have to do these every single week!

Be sure to let us know if you're listening by posting a screenshot of this episode and tagging us on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Jennifer is @JenniferLongmore and let us know what you think of this interview!

Aha Moments:

• Jennifer's #1 piece of advice and why you MUST implement it if you want to see results fast in your business
• The only 2 issues in business and how to overcome them
• What you should be making your #1 priority when starting your coaching business
• What are high-dividend activities and why you need to be doing at least one every day
• Why investing in ourselves isn't as big of a gamble as we think it is
• What the Akashic records want us to know about this covid19 crisis and how to respond

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I'm your host Ali Daniel.

Today I'm bringing on a fellow business coach, Lina Escamilla who helps entrepreneurs in a variety of business types - from consultants, freelancers, product based businesses, position their offer and message in front of hundreds of people. By teaching them how to grow their email list, audience and influence — with authenticity.

I'm excited to share this interview with you guys today because we hit on a lot of really timely topics - from the Corona virus and how it's going to change working culture and the economy, what the difference is between followers and leaders and how you can learn to step into your authentic power right now to lead, to what to do when you're not getting any sales in your business.

I love that we discuss how sooo much of the online business world has still been taboo - up until this point in our society. How it used to be looked upon as volatile, risky but not we've seen a shift where typically "stable" career paths and jobs are now being taken away at a moments notice. Leaving us to think about how "stable" they really were?

There is this notion that entrepreneurship is risky but what's riskier? Relying on yourself and never being able to get fired or laid off? Or relying on someone else to pay you?

You're going to love this episode if you're an ambitious women with some spirituality and a touch of sass mixed in you! Lina brings the heat in this interview with some pro-tips on marketing, sales, and stepping into your authentic power online.

Be sure to give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Lina is @LinaEscamilla and let us know what you think of this interview!

Aha Moments:

• How Covid19 is going to change working culture and the economy
• What the difference is between being a follower and a leader
• How to step into your authentic power right now to lead and inspire others
• What to do when you're not getting any sales
• Getting clarity on your niche and how when you speak to everyone you sell to no one
• The myth of the "stable" 9-5 and how online business is going to boom moving forward
• How you can't learn everything you need to know from just ONE program - your business is a living breathing entity that needs growth!

Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled programming!

Today on the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast I'm bringing on a good friend, Brooke Ritchie, as I mentioned a minute ago, who I've watched grow, not only in business but personally as well, over the last year.

Literally just one year ago, Brooke had a negative balance in her bank account and was borrowing money to make ends meet. Today, Brooke has a thriving coaching business, in fact she generated $100,000 in sales in just the first 2 months of this year. Brooke's story is incredible and we only just scratch the surface but the main takeaway from Brooke's story is - DO THE MINDSET WORK.

Brooke is a mindset coach who helps entrepreneurs overcome money mindset blocks. She has a Master's degree in Somatic Psychology and worked as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. She has professional training in massage therapy, bodywork, somatic experiencing, and energy work - among many other approaches.

She owned and operated her own business as a yoga and dance instructor for a decade, and brings both mindfulness as well as somatic approaches to her group coaching and 1:1 work.

She is also licensed as a Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner and is trained in Deep Transformational Coaching. She became interested in money mindset specifically to support entrepreneurs in earning their true potential. She has worked with hundreds of people over the years to help them live more successful and fulfilled lives and now, since she's had such massive success in her coaching business, I've recruited her on as my mindset and money coach in my Mastermind, Scale with Soul.

Brooke is a testament to just how important the mindset work is. To become conscious of your negative thought loops and rewire them to serve you should be your #1 priority, especially in times like this.

Brooke works on her mindset every single day and has been such an inspiration for me to watch her go from a shy, extremely unconfident coach to sharing her gifts with the world and creating abundance not only for herself but for her clients.

I mean Brooke went to one event and created $10,000 of income from it! Brooke is the QUEEN at manifesting because she's been practicing a few specific tools on repeat for the last year.

Think about what you want to create. If all it took was working on your mindset for one year, every single day to achieve it, would you be willing to do it? Now one of the important things Brooke and I mention on this episode is it's not JUST mindset work, but getting into the right mindset and THEN taking action. Not the other way around.

You must first do the mindset work and THEN take action. This is the key I think so many people are missing.

This episode brings us so many juicy tips, from how to do inner child work and why it will help you heal your triggers, to overcoming imposter syndrome and the need to keep piling on experience and certifications, to landing clients without any online presence. This episode has everything you need to get started and thrive in your business, seriously.

So if you're someone who's aching to get her coaching business started but feeling like you just don't have the experience yet, or you have already started but you're like "Where do I find clients?!" this episode is for you.

Be sure to give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Brooke is @brightbeautycoaching and let us what you think of this interview!

Pressing play now.

Aha Moments:

• Why deeply listening and reflective listening are the best skills you can learn as a coach
• 3 steps to a rock solid mindset to help you achieve your goals
• How to give space to fear to enable you to overcome it
• The tools Brooke uses daily to take her from in debt to earning over $100K this year

• Why you should actually thank your triggers and work with them instead of avoid or push them away
