Send us a text Scripts crumble the moment a client surprises you. What holds is identity. We dig into why traditional certifications often stop at information and how real growth happens when you train your way of being: emotional presence, grounded attention, and trust in your instincts. If you’ve ever memorized a framework and still felt lost in a raw moment, this conversation gives you a path forward. We unpack four traits that define a high-impact coach: staying fully present instead of ...
Send us a text Change your identity and your world changes back. That sounds bold, but as we unpack how growth reshapes friendships, marriage, parenting, and career, the pattern becomes impossible to ignore. We trace the arc from a tight-knit LAPD circle—poker nights, sports, familiar routines—to the decision to pursue coaching, health, and leadership. The shift wasn’t about superiority; it was about alignment. When the goals diverged, the invites slowed, and the “no’s” increased. That distan...
Send us a text Some stories arrive like a storm and leave the shape of everything changed. Our guest, coach and mother Heather Lane, shares how the stillbirth of her daughter Riley shattered her world, the years of silence that followed, and the day a quiet question in a parked car became the start of a different life. What unfolds is a raw, hopeful journey from isolation to agency, from surviving to serving, and from unspoken grief to a movement that invites mothers to say their children’s n...
Send us a text Stuck on the treadmill of doing more but moving nowhere? We’ve been there. Today we unpack why high performers can check every box—workouts done, outreach sent, content posted—and still feel stalled, and how a shift toward presence, energy, and identity turns routine effort into real results. We start with a simple experiment: same workout, same time, radically different output when the intent and immersion change. That story becomes a blueprint for business and life. Sales ca...
Send us a text What if the thing you’re avoiding—rest—is the missing gear your life needs to finally run smoothly? We dig into the messy middle between hustle and recovery, challenging the belief that stepping back means you’re falling behind. Through raw stories from night shifts, NICU days, and the creeping costs of burnout, we unpack how fear, shame, and identity can turn “always on” into a trap—and how reframing rest can unlock better health, clearer decisions, and stronger relationships....
Send us a text What if motivation stopped being a mystery and became a tool you could use on command? We dive straight into the gap between waiting to feel ready and choosing a story that makes action inevitable, then show how that simple shift turns erratic starts into steady, compounding momentum. We start with a candid look at 75 Hard—not as a badge of grind, but as a living case study in outcome-focused commitment. The workouts and rules aren’t the draw; the real win is the clarity, owne...
Send us a text Growth feels glamorous right up to the moment it sends the bill. We open up about the hidden price tags—time, energy, comfort, even identity—and why those early withdrawals are proof you’re headed in the right direction, not signs you’re failing. Through a candid story of stepping away from a successful collaboration to build a certification from the ground up, we unpack what it takes to stop relying on someone else’s system, take ownership, and design a method you can stand be...
Send us a text Ever catch yourself feeling proud of your progress, only to open your phone and feel instantly behind? We dig into the comparison trap that quietly kills presence and creative energy, then trade it for a saner, stronger way to measure growth. You’ll hear the moment-to-moment reframes we use with clients, the personal practices that keep us in our lane, and a simple rule that changes everything: you can’t create and compare at the same time. We start by naming what comparison r...
Send us a text Big, flashy milestones get the spotlight, but the quiet wins are what actually move a coaching career forward. We open up about how progress hides in the small, repeatable actions most people overlook—smoother conversations, braver follow-ups, firmer boundaries—and why tracking those moments changes how you see yourself. Instead of waiting to feel ready, we make the case that real confidence comes from action first, feeling second, and we share practical prompts you can use to ...
Send us a text The scoreboard says growth equals big milestones—more clients, more revenue, more proof. We think that story leaves out where change really starts. In this conversation, we zoom into the tiny, easy‑to‑miss wins that quietly rebuild identity and fuel long‑term momentum. If you’ve been waiting for a breakthrough to believe you’re progressing, we’ll show you how to find proof in the work you already did this week. We start by reframing progress: small wins are not consolation pri...
Send us a text Ever step into a room and feel like everyone else got the memo you missed? That jolt of discomfort might be the clearest sign you’re exactly where you need to be. We unpack why the spaces that feel too big often fit your next level, and how to turn imposter syndrome into forward motion. We walk through the pivotal mindset shift: belonging doesn’t show up before bravery; it follows it. From masterminds to coaching circles, we share how growth can feel like exposure, why that se...
Send us a text Growth can be loud on Instagram and quiet in real life. We open our new series, What Growth Really Looks Like, by naming the truth most of us avoid: progress often feels like you’re going backwards. The rhythm gets messy, confidence dips, and your brain tells you to bail. Instead of treating that as failure, we show how discomfort, doubt, and confusion are the exact markers that you’re expanding. We walk through familiar moments—your first client, your first launch, the first ...
Send us a text The line “no one is coming to save you” can sting—until you hear the second half: that’s the good news. We break down why that realization hands you the keys to your future, and how a simple shift from reacting to responding changes everything about the way you think, speak, and act. This isn’t about blame or fault; it’s about reclaiming your response as the most reliable lever you have. We explore the quiet ways we outsource responsibility—waiting for timing to be right, for ...
Send us a text What if the fastest way to grow as a coach is to realize you’re transforming too? We open up about the mirror effect that happens in every session—how a client’s breakthrough expands our own awareness, sharpens our presence, and upgrades how we lead, parent, and partner. Instead of treating coaching as something we do to others, we frame it as a practice that works through us, shaping identity and belief with every conversation. We get practical about honoring that growth, sha...
Send us a text The most powerful moment in a coaching journey isn’t a new certification or a perfect framework—it’s the instant you stop sounding like everyone else and finally sound like you. We walk through why that shift unlocks trust, sparks honesty, and turns scripted sessions into real transformation for clients who are ready to do the work. We start by naming the feeling of being coached by someone fully present: no checklist, no performance, just a live conversation tuned to where yo...
Send us a text Perfection looks safe on paper, but it can choke the life out of a coaching session. We crack open the myth that tighter control leads to better outcomes and show how the real breakthroughs happen when you loosen your grip. From the first minute, we explore why coaching works best as a living conversation rather than a tightly scripted performance, and how presence—not polish—creates the conditions for honest insight and sustainable change. You’ll hear a revealing story of a c...
Send us a text If you’ve ever felt your chest tighten when a client tears up, you’re not alone—and you’re closer to a breakthrough than you think. We take you inside the pivotal moments where emotion surfaces, why it matters, and how to respond without rescuing or retreating. Instead of treating tears as a problem to fix, we show you how to see them as signals of meaning that point to values, identity, and unmet needs. We unpack a simple, powerful reframe: emotions are data, not drama. From ...
Send us a text What if the fastest way to move a client forward isn’t agreeing with their limits, but holding a steadier belief in their potential than they can hold for themselves? We dive into the difference between compassion and confirmation and show how a coach’s clean belief can lift a client out of a tight story and back into agency. Along the way, you’ll hear a practical, step-by-step walkthrough of our Growth Model so you can transform the common “I’m overwhelmed” spiral into momentu...
Send us a text When the calendar turns to late November, most people ease off the gas and promise themselves they’ll restart in January. We take the opposite path. This conversation dives into why strategy isn’t the real barrier to progress, how your belief system quietly protects comfort, and what it looks like to build momentum during the holidays without sacrificing family, peace, or recovery. We break down the idea of “zagging”—choosing to think differently when the world zigs. That does...
Send us a text Most conversations skate on the surface. We went deeper, exploring how coaches can hear beyond words and spot the subtle signals—tone shifts, posture changes, tiny pauses—that reveal what clients truly want but hesitate to say out loud. When you notice what’s missing, you unlock the path from polite goals to real desire. We break down the craft of presence: slowing down, breathing before you respond, and widening your attention to the whole person. You’ll hear how a client can...
