The Punch Drunk Soul Podcast - Soul Alignment + Business Chats

Hi guys, Ali Daniel back with another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! Today I'm bringing Shana Stanley to the table to share her journey with us. Shana is a coach, hypnotherapist, mother, and former-wallflower-turned-outgoing-introvert. She helps women, right now she focuses mainly on divorced and newly single women and those who identify as women, to break free from their social anxiety and self-doubt so they can live the BOMBass life they crave.

Shana is also an alumni of Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator , which she graduated from this summer too!

I'm really excited to bring Shana on the show because she is such an incredible example of a woman who has really stepped out into the scariest shit known to man and has sort of rose from the ashes. She was doing all the things to survive a marriage and life that she was unhappy in by going to yoga, listening to podcasts, reading all the self-help books, meditating, but nothing was working. Finally, she stepped into the fire and did the deep work it took to get back into alignment, which she shares in this interview. This led her to coming out, getting a divorce and now starting her own coaching business.

We get into so many good topics today around coaching, what it takes to be a coach, how to deal with the self-doubt as we are trying to start our own coaching business, overcoming what other people think, money blocks, dealing with childhood wounds, you name it, we get into it.

Shana is actually launch a new coaching program in January 2020 to help women going through a divorce or breakup give up feeling "not good enough" and step into a new transformed and badass life post-separation. If you're curious to learn more you can follow up with Shana through the links in the episode description!

Aha Moments:

• What to do when "all the things" like self-help books, yoga and podcasts aren't working
• 2 powerful things you can do to get into alignment and feel happy again
• We all have childhood wounds and traumas, even those of us with happy childhoods

• SO much more!

My guest today is Maggie Kay who is a good friend of mine now, but a few years back she was actually my first coach! It's been CRAZY to see how far we've both come and how much we've gone through both together and as individuals so I love how this podcast is coming full circle and helping you guys also get a peek into other areas of my life that I don't get to share as much.

We actually dive into our Peruvian plant medicine journey straight away on this episode, which might be a bit of an overshare, but hey, I like to share my truth with you guys.

We actually weren't officially "recording" when we started digging in to the good stuff, so really you're going to hear our completely unfiltered chit chat as we catch up with each other after months of us being off doing our own thing.

We also go deep into money and finances and how we've both been able to break free of our money blocks and what it's taken for us to get there. We talk about Maggie's 5 elements of eden transformational process which is SO good and helpful for those of you who want to fast-track your personal growth and consciousness journeys.

Let us know your learnings and thoughts by tagging us on Instagram @Punchdrunksoul and @MaggieKayLife, we would love to start a conversation with you guys!

Aha Moments:

• Why it's important to choose personal integrity and alignment over finances and take a leap of faith
• How pleasure and love hold the key to opening up the floodgates of abundance for you
• How to handle the fears around debt and business debt
• The important questions to ask yourself if you find yourself sick/ill that no one else is asking
• How learning how to love herself and her life was the medicine Maggie needed to heal her autoimmune illness (*side note...mine too!)
• The shadow work DOES end...for those of you having a tough time with it
• Maggie's 5 Elements of Transformation that will shift the way you see your growth journey
• How to receive wisdom from your higher self to know what your next steps are
• Fear and suffering is not a necessary part of the human experience
• SO much more!

Hi friends, welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! Today I am welcoming my friend and mentor, Alyssa Nobriga to the show. What a special treat we're all in for! Seriously, it's an honor to have Alyssa on the podcast and I am so appreciative of how she shares her story so openly with us for everyone to learn from it.

Before we dive in, I wanted to share a special treat I have for you guys! I am opening up my calendar for a few lucky souls (10 to be exact) to book a complimentary 1:1 45 minute Launch Strategy Session with me to help you create an aligned launch strategy to fill your client calendar for ALL of 2020. Walk away knowing exactly what to implement and how to effectively communicate your high-ticket value to your online audience. I'll be sharing my online marketing and launch expertise after building my business to over $215,000 in the last 2 years all online.

You can go to Punchdrunksoul.com/launchstrategy if you'd like to book a spot with me! If you have questions you can DM me on Instagram @PunchDrunkSoul. That's punchdrunksoul.com/launchstrategy to book that complimentary strategy session with me. If there are no more spots available, it means they've all been taken - but check back as I may open up a few more in December!

Ok, on to today's episode with Alyssa! On this episode you're going to hear Alyssa talk about her childhood and how her entire family was catapulted into spiritual awakenings around the same time and how this led her down a path of really exploring the mind, body, soul connection and wanting to heal the world. We talk about how when we step towards what we want it brings up our unconscious blocks to be healed. Ever wonder why once you say "Yes" to yourself, a lot of shit seems to hit the fan and your emotions run haywire? This is it!

She shares a period of time where she was out of alignment in her business and how she was able to get back into alignment by uncovering her deepest values and then expressing these values every day - which is actually something we do inside my program, Path to Freedom Coach Academy, so if you guys are in the program, you know what I'm talking about as you guys are working through Module 2 where we uncover your core purpose values!

We also really dive deep into the mindset work and how important it is to really question everything you believe about yourself, about business, about what you need, about what is available or possible. We question the idea of hustling or working hard and what it means to step into your leadership in business but also in life.

I love that Alyssa and I have very different beginnings of our business. She started all offline and I started all online but our worlds have blended beautifully together and I've learned so much from her. For me, when I started my business, I was still very sick so I didn't want to be in front of people physically - the online space gave me the opportunity to show up and serve, even if I couldn't do it in person.

But as you guys know, it does take a lot of time and investment (I've invested 10's of thousands now in online coaches and FB ads to get my business running successfully!) to understand the online space which is why I so appreciate Alyssa's perspective to share how you can actually grow your business to 6-figures all offline if you want to.

This episode is a blend of mindset and strategy so if you've been needing a mindset reboot to help you show up and produce different results, this episode is going to unlock the key for you!

And really, we've just barely skimmed the surface of Alyssa's work so hopefully we can get her back in the future to share more with us. If you want that to happen, be sure to let her know how much you enjoy this episode by sharing this episode on Instagram and tagging us @PunchDrunkSoul and @AlyssaNobriga

Aha Moments:

• How success is found in the present moment, not the future
• Why it's important to embrace all parts of you, even the parts that don't seem to "match"
• When we step into what we want, the unconscious blocks rise up to be healed
• How to move into alignment by understanding your values
• Why working hard and hustling needs to be questions and HOW to stop buying into it
• If you want to find clients you need to show up as a professional coach and set aside time to show up consistently and being of service
• Her tips for growing your business to 6-figures all offline

This interview is with Beth Ryan, who I met about 2 years ago now in the same mastermind for all of 2018. It's been really exciting to see how Beth has grown her videographer business into an online course business, a membership and now even a mastermind.

She's been in business for 4 years, so it's important to remember that she started with ONE piece of the puzzle and has slowly built it up year after year. When she got started, she was a waitress who was turning down broadcasting jobs with tears in her eyes because they felt so out of alignment with her, even though it's what she went to school for.

What I love about her story is that Beth couldn't figure out WHY she was turning down these jobs, but she trusted her gut feeling that they just weren't right until her business organically came to her through inspired action. We get into that and so much more in this episode. I know you're going to love it.

We talk all about women's intuition, how to ask yourself the right questions to get what you want, how networking is everything in business, why your niche is important, the ups and downs of business and really learning to trust yourself and your journey every step of the way. We also talk about how we have to unlearn how to ask for permission and validation so we can start living the lives we want and have the businesses we want.

The overarching theme of this interview was learning how to trust yourself and your path and leaning in to what interests you. This is a POWERFUL interview and I'm pretty sure you're gonna raise in vibration and motivation just by listening to us chat.

Aha Moments:

• How to listen to your body to make decisions - because the body understands what the mind can't comprehend logically
• Everything is revealed as needed - it won't be revealed all at once
• Learn how to take risks by trusting your intuition. Beth shares what her "yes" and "no" feel like
• Why Beth re-invests all her business profits into her business
• How to network like a QUEEN and plant seeds without expectation to build your business
• How building a business has forced her to stand up for what she wants and become who she truly wants to be
• Why it's a GOOD thing if you have no money to invest in yourself or your business and how to use it to your advantage

Meredith Marsh is the founder of Vid Pro Mom. She is a course-creator and coach for people who want to grow their audience and income using video content. Meredith started her business about 5 years ago and it's been steadily building and transforming ever since. She went from simply blogging, and vlogging, to launching courses to launching a membership last year, and now coaches people one on one as well.

I love this episode because as always, we start out by talking about business and then we end up gravitating towards the root of it all...mindset! Meredith shares how she's been able to coach herself through her own imposter syndrome with a few very pointed questions that you can also use, she shares how she brings herself to make scary decisions after overthinking them for far too long, and she even shares a really good tip to think about before investing in something.

We also talk about the problem with being an introvert in online business (hint here: there isn't a problem, people just think there is!), how to find your purpose with your business after you've been flailing about feeling lost and we even get into a little parenting advice.

This episode has it all, so let's jump in to the interview. As always, please let me know what you think of this episode by leaving a review on iTunes or sharing it on Instagram @punchdrunksoul! I would love to hear what you think and start a conversation.

Aha Moments:

• How coaching helps you get to know your audience even better
• How to stop using introvertedness or shyness as a crutch and get out there in your business!
• A few questions to help you coach yourself
• Getting over imposter syndrome
• If you want something, that means that's what you're supposed to do! Stop hiding
• Why you need to make your business your own and do what you want, regardless of what people think
• If you want to have a successful business you need to get comfortable being uncomfortable and making scary decisions
• How to know when you're making a good investment and when you should wait

Holy crap guys, have I got an episode for you today! Today I'm bringing on business coach Becky Keen to share her story with you guys about how she went from coaching people for free to making multiple 6-figures in her business through organic outreach, not using a single paid ad. What I love about Beck's story is that it's very similar to mine and many other women out there who decide to be coaches. First she was unhappy and unfulfilled in her job. Then she started to get sick. Then she had a pretty much near-death experience that literally EJECTED her out of her current reality and onto the path she was meant to be on. Sounds a lot like my story!

Grab a pen and paper because this episode we get down into the strategy behind Beck's business. We talk simple sales formulas for success, mindset hacks, how to invest for your business over time, strategic calls to action for your posts and so much more. Seriously, I was writing notes for myself during this episode. You're going to love it, bne sure to tag us on instagram @punchdrunksoul and let us know what you think of this episode!

Aha Moments:

• How Beck went from coaching people for free to charging high ticket packages
• Her strategy to add easy value to your packages and charge more WITHOUT doing more work
• How to invest like a multiple 6-figure businesswoman
• Why you can't think of your services as by the hour services and how to package them instead
• Our simple sales formula for success that we come up with right on the show together
• How Beck uses storytelling to sell her services without ads
• Beck's #1 strategy for bringing in clients on social media

Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator is officially open for enrollment today!!

You can go to PunchDrunkSoul.com/PathtoFreedom to find out more.

This is my 6 week group coaching program for new and aspiring coaches to get clarity on their niche, create their own proprietary coaching methodology, develop their first high-value offer and land their first paid clients, even if you're not certified, have no experience or following and you have no idea where to start. This is for you.

• You don't feel qualified or ready and everyone has been telling you "you need to get certified first!"
• You've always known that you were destined for more than just sitting in an office working for someone else, but you've spent far too long wondering how you would actually do it and still haven't taken any action yet.
• You keep posting on your social media pages and blog about your passions with no engagement and you're losing steam and motivation.
• Your job drains your energy, your soul, your freedom and you have no time or energy for yourself at the end of the day to do the things you really care about, like travel, raise a family, work on your business idea or blog, hang out with friends, go to the gym, or just cook a nice dinner.
• You're afraid of failing, afraid of what other people will think, and/ or afraid to put yourself out there
• You've tried starting once or a few times, you may have even picked up some certifications but then you've given up or lost motivation because it all just feels SO overwhelming and #IJustCantEven. All you need is a blueprint and your success will skyrocket!
• You feel like you're missing clarity on your purpose and a clear path to move forward. You're tired of coming home exhausted, feeling empty, and binge-watching Netflix instead of pursuing your passions.

• Discovering exactly what it is that you're called to do with your life and then having a clear, proven framework and plan so you can spend the rest of your life DOING it.
• Checking your email and seeing your FIRST official payments come in from your first paying clients in your new coaching biz that you're over-the-moon excited about!
• Feeling truly healed from the inside out. Anxiety attacks, depressive episodes, health issues caused by you not following your purpose are all but forgotten. No more feeling "stuck" or lost, but full of purpose and confidence.
• Having the time and energy to put into enjoying your whole life, not just life outside the 9-5 and on the weekends. Where you travel more, laugh more, spend time with your family and friends more, say YES to you more.
• Having a slow morning with yoga, meditation and a warm latte. Setting your own schedule, working from home while you watch your kids grow up, or maybe even from a beach in Thailand.
• What else would change about your life, your relationships, your career if you had a business that just WORKED and lit you up?

We're going to work on it all together in Path to Freedom so YOU can have the life you deserve. A life where you wake up every day happy to go to work.

You can apply or enroll at punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom and reach out to me on Instagram if you have any questions @punchdrunksoul.

But in the meantime, I thought I would share a few client interviews with you from Path to Freedom Alumni so you could hear what the program is like for women who've gone through it.

This is a longer episode because I'm including multiple interviews. The first is with Amanda McCoy, then Hannah Mento and then Kathryn Thompson.

You're going to love them all and I know you'll hear yourself in them as well as you hear how they were ALL struggling for about a year or more to get their coaching business off the ground until they finally made the decision to invest in themselves and all three of them left Path to Freedom with multiple paid clients shortly after we wrapped the program.

What would it be like to walk away with a new coaching biz you loved and paying clients in a matter of a week? What would be possible for you from that point on? Think about how that would change your life and listen in to this episode and if you feel called to it, find out more at punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedm.

Today you guys are gonna hear from Traci Ann Ferguson, a woman I have just really grown to love in the last 4 months, though it seems like we've known each other for far longer! She is a relationship and self-love coach who helps women accept themselves fully so that they can form deeper, healthier and more meaningful relationships. She is a mom of two, a musician and aspiring beach bum. Honestly you guys, this episode is like a relationship coaching session and business journey interview all wrapped into one.

Traci actually joined my 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge and then joined my Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator program and THEN decided to invest in my high-level mastermind. She is truly an amazing example of someone who is so dedicated to showing up fully for herself and I think you're really going to love her inspiring story about getting started as a coach, landing 3 clients about a month after launching her biz without being certified.

She knows what it's like to deal with and work through the fears and imposter syndrome that pop up when you're trying to start your own business, but I love how she shares how she was able to gain the confidence and clarity to come up with her own program. What's more amazing is the wonderful results and transformations she's already seen in her clients.

We really dive into how she was able to take her own life experience and turn it into a repeatable system for her clients to go through to have their own transformations. We also talk about how we each have our own unique voice but we don't have to reinvent the wheel. That so much of what's taught and what we will teach and impart on our clients is Universal Truth, just with our own special experience tied into it. We also get into how this idea helped her overcome the comparison trap she was always getting herself into.

In this episode we also talk about the time and money she's invested in herself and in her business and how she's been able to make it work with 2 kids, a big move and even deaths in the family.

Before we dive into the episode I also want to let you know that my free 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge is coming up again in just a few short weeks! You do NOT want to miss it. If you want to feel more connected to yourself, your purpose and find out what special gifts you have to offer the world in the form of a coaching business, you want to be there. If you're a new coach and you want support, especially in dialing in on your niche and unique talents, or if you're an aspiring coach and you have a fear of getting started...THIS free 4 day challenge is going to be the best 4 days you'll spend on yourself ever.

I only run this challenge a few times a year, this is going to be the last time I run it this year! So if you want to close out 2019 with a kickstart on your dreams, now is your last chance.

I'm giving away over 6 hours of FREE, live, in-depth training on how to start a coaching biz with maximum success and no previous experience or certification (some women have launched their business JUST using this free training alone)

I'll be teaching you the strategy I used to kick start my coaching business when I had no experience that's led me to generate over $150,000 in sales in my first 18 months.

You'll get FREE PDF action-guides and downloads and resources to help you launch your business fast

You'll also have access to my private, exclusive Facebook Group where you can connect with the community and talk to my team and other coaches.

I've had people ask if they can pay me for the Challenge recordings because I give so much content and strategy away for FREE

And the best part, guys, is it's absolutely free! No credit card is required to join.

So I hope you join us for this transformational experience, just as Traci did a few short months ago. You're going to hear in this episode just how far Traci has come since then and how the challenge was really the moment everything changed for her and catapulted her onto this coaching journey.

Join us for 4 in-depth days, we start really soon!

You can RSVP at punchdrunksoul.com/soulbiz

This is probably going to be the last time I run this challenge for free. It's really an entire course packed into 4 days and thousands of women have gone through it and have shared just how transformational it's been for them. Regardless if you walk away like Traci ready to take the next steps in working with me, or you go off and work on your own or with another coach, this experience will be one you never forget. The community, the self-confidence and steps we go through together will be unlike anything you've ever experienced online.

I really hope Traci's story reminds you of what's possible to go from no idea what you're doing to paying clients in a matter of weeks. This doesn't have to take forever, and it's certainly possible for you. So let's jump in to the interview.

Aha moments:

• How to use your own life experience as a way to coach others
• How she was able to reconcile with her ex-soon-to-be-current husband after their divorce
• We're all teaching the same Universal truths just wrapped in our own experiences
• The milestones she achieved before she could go from no business to 3 clients and how you can implement them for yourself
• How investing in herself has helped her stay accountable to her dreams and shown her the TRUE value of things
• How to stop comparing yourself to others
• When you invest in yourself in a big way, it's so much easier to charge higher ticket prices for your own services because you know the value
• How to get over the "sales is sleazy" mindset
• How to find time for a business when you're raising 2 kids
