The Punch Drunk Soul Podcast - Soul Alignment + Business Chats

In today's episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast, I'm bringing on a client of mine, Sarah Myrick, who graduated from my Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator program a few months back. Sarah, like myself and many of my students, bounced around from job to job trying to find "the one" that would finally fulfill her. As she switched from one job to the next she couldn't help but feel that she was meant for something more, she just didn't know what exactly.

She had always thought it would be cool to have her own business, so she started making plans with her family to start a family business. But when even that started to feel heavy, she knew she had to find something that truly aligned with her - that wasn't just a business for the sake of being her own business.

That's how Sarah stumbled upon my program, because as you guys hopefully know, I focus on helping my clients create soul-aligned businesses, not just any business! Because I don't want you becoming slaves to your businesses, I want you to create businesses that don't even feel like work!

Within a few weeks of working together Sarah landed her first client who turned into her first 4-figure, $3,000, client, coincidentally more than covering the cost of her investment in Path to Freedom. What's even cooler is Sarah was able to help this client work through some of her money blocks and within the first few weeks of working together, this client attracted $10,000! Talk about how powerful coaching can be - even for those who are new to it!

I love Sarah's story because she's just another example of what's possible when you choose to go after what you want and receive help, AND what's possible for your clients. I think so often we believe we're not experienced or good enough to help others so we hide, not fully going after what we want. Sarah, who isn't certified, and who literally crafted her own proprietary coaching methodology during Path to Freedom, was able to help her client create an extra $10,000 in a matter of weeks working with her! Just proves what I've been saying all along - you don't need to be certified or have years of experience to start coaching and getting paid. You just need to develop your own unique coaching method, what I teach inside my program, so you can have structure to your coaching and instill confidence in yourself and your clients.

We dive into some of the breakthroughs that Sarah had to get to this moment and what she's gone through as a new coach.

Enjoy the interview and if you find it valuable, please share it with a friend or on Instagram! Tag me @punchdrunksoul and I will love you forever and give you a shoutout!

Aha moments:

• How Sarah landed her first $3K client as a brand new coach, no certifications
• What Sarah did to discover what her purpose was outside of the typical 9-5
• The ONE question Sarah was asked that made her realize her passion
• How Sarah made the decision to invest in herself and how it's worked for her
• Sarah discusses her limiting beliefs around money and how she has worked through them
• Two things that helped her start her coaching business and land her first paid client

WHITNEY CATALANO: WHEN YOU INVEST SO MUCH YOU EITHER HAVE TO MAKE IT WORK OR YOU'RE OUT OF BUSINESS...FROM REGISTERED DIETICIAN TO FOOD FREEDOM COACH

Today, I have a friend and mastermind buddy with me, Whitney Catalano. Whitney is a food freedom dietitian & mindset coach helping people break free from emotional binge eating, heal their relationship with their bodies and make peace with their inner bullies so they can fully step into their power.

Whitney and I met earlier this year at a mastermind retreat we're both a part of and we connected over our similar beliefs around money that we felt were getting in the way of our true success. I'm so excited because we really dive into the topic of investing in yourself, how we spend money and what money means to us on this episode.

We dig deep into Whitney's story, her background with her own eating disorders and how she's overcome them to get where she is today. She's now operating a thriving coaching business - but it didn't start out that way. Her first year she really struggled and made a lot of investments, making her feel like she was in over her head. Honestly, a lot like I felt last year as well. Hers and my journeys have a lot in common though she's 5 years younger and way more empowered than I was at 25. I really enjoyed talking to Whitney about how she found clarity in her coaching business, how she overcame the stigma around coaching so she could thrive, and how she went from struggling to crazy abundant in her business (hint it's not from more content and more strategy).

I think you'll love how relatable she is, there's truly something for everyone in this episode!

Aha Moment

• How Whitney overcame the stigma of being a coach
• How she found clarity for what she was meant to do after her business felt like it was all over the place
• How she opened the floodgates of abundance
• The 2 big shifts Whitney experienced to go from struggling to consistent clients
• Learning to switch things up or pivot if things get heavy or feel really hard
• How to finally feel ok with No's and rejection through this simple mindset shift
• What investing has meant to Whitney and how it's been a way for her to give herself permission to play bigger
• Her #1 piece of advice for anyone who's starting out or struggling with their new coaching business

Millionaire Messenger by Brendan Burchard

In this episode I chat with Leslie M. Thornton, transformational leader in the coaching & consciousness industry. Leslie and I met through our mastermind group online but we also met in person in Thailand recently where we were both hosting retreats. I absolutely love this conversation because we really dive deep into money stories, how much we've both invested in our growth and coaches, and what it means to truly live a life that WE want.

Leslie originally got into the world of personal growth and coaching through a self-hypnosis book where she learned to hypnotize herself. One morning after listening to her own hypnosis she said she literally woke up as a new person and never turned back.

Leslie is a female entrepreneur – a transformational leader in the coaching & consciousness industry. She's a Registered Nurse with professional certifications & training in coaching & cutting-edge subconscious mind modalities that allow for the lasting wild successes of the individuals and groups she professionally coaches. Leslie is also passionate about leading destination retreats internationally as well as domestically.

Aha Moments:

• How self-hypnosis changed Leslie's life dramatically
• Why money is such a sensitive subject and how both Leslie and I have invested in ourselves using credit cards which we NEVER thought we'd do
• The different ways to invest depending on your age and life stages
• If Leslie could go back and start her business from the beginning again, here's what she'd do differently
• The important question to ask yourself when determining what you TRULY want for yourself
• There's no shame in asking and receiving help
• How the Universe conspires to help you once you give yourself permission and say YES to yourself
• Why it's actually selfish NOT to follow your purpose

Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast, I'm your host, per usual, Ali Daniel! Today, I'm bringing a friend of mine who I've come to know through the mastermind that I've been a part of this year. Her name is Annaliese Koltermann and she is a transformational life coach, teacher, and healing expert. She specializes in emotional and spiritual transformation and provides world-class training courses and retreats in holistic self-care life purpose, leadership, and healing. Annaliese has so much experience in the world of coaching and healing and she has been a powerful sister and friend to me, and a tremendous support in my life and it is such a joy to have her here on the show, honestly, to share her wisdom with you guys. It really is such a special treat to and you guys are in for some mind-blowing, woo-woo, existential magic in this episode.

One of my favorite parts of the episode is when we get into the idea that we are not in control and that we as coaches and healers are actually not providing the value to our clients. It's something so much greater than our human selves and it was in realizing this that I was really able to shift into such an abundant state recently and I want that so much for you guys listening to really take this lesson and integrate it into your own lives. I did a Facebook live a few weeks ago after I had my most successful launch of path to Freedom coach Academy ever, coming in about $40,000 in sales, and on this LIVE, which you can catch on my facebook page, I talk about a few of the biggest breakthroughs I had that enabled me to access such a free-flowing, energetic state where this much money could just flow to me at once, so easily.

One of the biggest breakthroughs I had was after talking to Annaliese and having her share some of this wisdom with me that she shares on this very episode of the podcast. So this is a really impactful episode, I may even make it required listening to for some of my future clients, that's how much I loved it!

Also writing this in pencil here but I am trying to figure out a way to get Annaliese to be one of my Scale with Soul Mastermind expert coaches! Ahh, she would be such an amazing addition to the program, which is all about helping new coaches create consistent income in a soul-aligned, through more authentic selling and strategic content. Right now the program is pretty top-secret, there's no way to get more info about it except talking to me directly. So if you're curious about it, just shoot me a DM on Instagram to learn more. This first class is filling up fast and we start in August.

Fingers crossed we can bring her on board with us! Ok, without me blabbing further, buckle up, turn off everything else and pay attention because this one is going to rock your socks off.

Ok let's dive into it! Here is Annalies's interview!

Aha Moments:

• Why coaching leads to more self-growth than any other life path
• How Annaliese tends to be just a few weeks ahead of her clients as she's coaching them
• Know when you're aligned and when you're not
• How to handle No's/rejection as a new coach
• The number 1 question to ask yourself when you're not getting what you want
• How to find joy in the journey (because if you don't, nothing will ever be enough)
• There are seasons of growth, rest, learning, integration, lean into whatever season you're in
• By actively investing in yourself, you can't help but grow, even when the experience isn't what you expect
• How much Annaliese has invested in her growth over the years

Hey from Thailand everyone! On today's episode I catch up with a Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator graduate, Kathryn Thompson. Kathryn and I chat about everything from how she got sick in her corporate job (sound familiar?!) to how she finally was able to step out into entrepreneurship, to how she was able to really own her worth and confidence as a coach, to how she was able to find alignment in her life and is feeling better than ever.

It's a really juicy episode that I know you're going to relate to so much, especially if you've ever struggled in the corporate world, kind of going from job to job thinking that the next one will bring you the fulfillment you're looking for. Or thinking that you'll go back to school for another degree because that will bring you the fulfillment you're looking for.

Kathryn was waking up from anxiety dreams, with her heart racing, something she never experienced before in her life. She experienced just this total apathy and boredom in her life where she wasn't motivated to do ANYTHING except veg on the couch. She finally took the leap into entrepreneurship but it wasn't what she thought it would be until she finally aligned with her soul and created what she was truly meant to do.

For those of you out there still struggling to get clarity on what you're meant to do or those who are finally DOING it but really feeling so exhausted, heavy and overwhelmed, this episode will hit home for you.

If you listen and enjoy it please give me a shoutout on Instagram and let me know over at Punchdrunksoul!

Aha moments:

• What it looks like to be out of alignment versus in alignment
• The biggest shift Kathryn made to go from being overwhelmed, stressed out and sick, to calm, confident and aligned in her life and business
• How to find your true worth and value as a new coach (hint: it's not in what you BRING to the table)
• What happens when you seek fulfillment and happiness from external experiences and things
• This is how NOT to start a business!
• The importance of pressing the pause button every day
• Joy is found in this, NOT money
• Why hiring a coach/mentor is invaluable and does NOT mean there's anything wrong with you
• The real return on investing in yourself
