Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 665
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how to find your niche, and what do not and avoid if you want to become a spiritual coach.
Today's Question
Arpi: I'm just starting my business and like to learn about how spiritual coaches, emerging coaches can identify their specific niche and understand how they can help people. I'm very interested in manifestation, in inner child healing, in working with the feminine energy, also with money manifestation, removing money blocks. But I feel like emerging spiritual teachers, they need a lot of time and experimentation to understand the path that want to take.

Listen To Episode 665 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions [05:10] Intro
This is Wellness + Wisdom, the podcast where we gather, apply and most importantly y'all embody the knowledge and information is out there that we are wanting to be of service to others for, mainly to ourselves.
Look, you cannot be of service to else unless you are holding up a lantern that shines light on you. This podcast focuses on the 5 sides of you, the 5 sides of yourself, that we call the wellness pentagon. And these are the sides that we're either starving or we're nourishing.
Starting at the is your physical self and the walls of your emotional and mental self. And also very importantly, your financial and your spiritual self.
This wellness pentagon is something that constantly fascinates me. And in this AMA, we're talking about a deep, deep question for many people, probably millions of people across the world.
[07:45] A Simple Guide to Becoming A Spiritual Coach
If you've been feeling depressed, if you've been feeling anxious, if you've been wanting to actualize, to become this amazing, beautiful, divine, intelligent, wonderful version of you, and you have a question about how to do that, head over to JoshTrent.com/AMA.
That's where you can leave a question for myself and for Mar to go back and forth and pull from 20 plus years, 30 plus years combined of the wisdom and the life experience and the compassion and understanding that today's question is all about.
So today's question is from someone on Instagram. This is a very unique question. And the way she asked it was quite humble, actually. I can tell that in her voice, she is on the youthful side and just looking for direction in the world. And aren't we all?
But at many stages of the game, I think it's really important to know that if you ask from a pure heart, if you ask from a really positive intention, where it's not just about you, it's really about being service to others, the right wisdom will come.
So let's hear from our first question that we've had in a couple weeks actually, which is really refreshing to have.
So we got a message from Arpi. She's from Armenia And she actually wants to know her niche as a spiritual coach which is super interesting so can't wait to hear her question. Armenia, amazing.
Hello, I'm Arpi from Armenia and I am a beginner transformation and spiritual coach. I'm just starting my business and like to learn about how spiritual coaches, emerging coaches can identify their specific niche and understand how they can help people.
Of course it needs a lot of work with different coaches, experimenting and trying different new things. But I would also like to learn from other people's experiences of how exactly they understood which specific direction to take.
And for example in my case I'm very interested in manifestation, in inner child healing, in working with the feminine energy, also with money manifestation, removing money blocks. But I feel like emerging spiritual teachers, they need a lot of time and experimentation to understand the path that want to take. So if you would consider this as an interesting topic to discuss with someone, I would absolutely love to hear.
I love this because in the question, did you notice this Mar? In her question, she actually answered her own question. So what was really beautiful and humble about your question that you had said, I want these things.
I want to be able to earn a living on manifestation and inner child healing and money blocks and identifying my niche as a spiritual coach. And there's so much to unpack here, but it's so rad because when you ask the question, you ended it by saying, and I know that it takes time.
And I know that it takes time. And that is actually what I want to share with you today. You know, true wisdom, I believe, to where you can actually be compensated for it and paid for it, is when you're in the mastery process yourself, right?
True wisdom is this blending of your life experience and for yourself and others as you integrate, and that is the key, as you integrate knowledge and information to provide healing and empowerment to others, especially those who you want to serve and who may pay you for that service.
So let's go over that again, right, as a starting place.
True wisdom is this blending of your own life experience and compassionate understanding of who you are as you integrate all that you're getting, all the information, all the knowledge, as you start to synthesize and integrate this so that it's actually embodied in your nervous system in your unconscious and in the way that you speak, it really does take time.
Now what I want to say is really interesting here because I don't know that we must make money to pay rent, to pay the mortgage, to buy food, whatever it is.
So money is this vehicle of energy that I used to really misunderstand. I mean, there was a time when I would say things like, ''Rich people are assholes." or ''Money is evil." But I realized that my money blocks were created by my parents.' God loved them.
I love you, mom and dad, like you did the best you could, but that was actually handed down to them by their parents' parents. Alan Watts has a term that he calls, it's all wretch and no vomit.
So everybody teaches their children to raise children to raise their children with the same mindset. And so first and foremost, I celebrate you and I celebrate your question because this is the starting place of really amazing living. I mean, to really be alive is to do something you care about, right?
To be on purpose, to be in your passion. And so as a starting place, you answered the question yourself. How do you identify the niche that you should be coaching in? You first start with your own life experience.
What is the tangible value that you have yielded and provided to yourself by your own pain, by your own journey, and by your own understanding of who you are. Like that's first and foremost, right?
And Mar, I'm sure you can relate. You see these like 20-year-old life coaches. And it's no knock on them because intention is pure and a lot of them are master marketers and they know exactly what to say and how to use Instagram write the right nurture sequence, blah, blah, blah.
But at some point, and I heard Michael Beckwith talk about this once actually, He said if somebody isn't actually embodied in the subject in which they speak, it'll eventually burn to the ground.
In other words, you can have great marketing and you can be a great speaker find your niche and have a great lead magnet and you can understand how to speak about what it is you're teaching, but if you yourself haven't learned it, like really, really learned it, it doesn't mean you have to fall to the floor every night because you're in so much pain and that's your gift to the world, although it can be.
There are many roads to get to the summit and then once you get to that summit you're going to go to the next one. But the only way you can, in my opinion, be in integrity and charge for a service, especially in spiritual coaching, is to be a product of that which you're seeking and combine your life experience of who you are, how much value and awareness, essentially consciousness you can bring to your client, and the way you start with that is with you.
So my question for you would be, if I was coaching you, I would say, okay, you wanna find your niche, great. Write down on a piece of paper, what are 20 things that you deeply you are in the process of embodying? You, yourself. What are 20 things that you know you are in the process of embodying?
Relational dynamics, loving yourself, your own money mindset, your own money game. There are so many things that are being called forth to be actualized in you and it is only on that journey. Only on that journey that you're going to be able to have somebody pay you for the wisdom that you're gonna bring them.
ow just let that sit for a minute because it kind of flies in the face of fake it till you make it, right? There's this whole adage out there in the marketing world of fake it till you make it. I actually love something else. I love being it until you see it.
I'll give credit to my mentor and old friend Dr. Jade Teta, he taught me that. And I love it because Mar, feel into this, right? And I'll pause and get your take on something and then I'll go right back to the question because there's many layers we're unpeeling here.
When you hear the phrase, Mar, fake it until you make it, Or you hear the phrase, be it until you see it. Which one resonates with you and why?
