Have you ever had a coaching client who’s engaged, reflective, and genuinely trying — but you keep coming back to the same issue session after session?

In this episode, I’m talking about what’s really going on when coaching feels stuck even though your client is doing the work. This is a common experience for coaches, and it’s not a sign that you’re failing — it’s usually a signal that something important hasn’t been addressed yet.

I walk you through:

• What I specifically listen for when sessions start going in circles
• Two of the most common reasons progress stalls with motivated clients
• How I name patterns (and the "elephant in the room") without judgment or pressure

In this episode, I’m talking about why that moment isn’t a coaching failure — and why, in many cases, it’s actually a sign that you’re doing real, meaningful work.

We’re unpacking the fear that lives underneath “not knowing,” why so many coaches panic when sessions don’t go as planned, and how much of that anxiety comes from holding an unspoken agenda about where the session should go.

I also explore the difference between agenda-driven, outcome-focused coaching and curiosity-driven, co-active coaching — and why letting go of the need to steer your client toward a specific insight, solution, or action often creates far more powerful results.

This is a conversation about trust.
Trusting the process.
Trusting your client.
And trusting yourself as a coach — even (and espe...

Launching Your Coaching Business? Start Here (and Don’t Skip These Steps!)

So, you’ve decided to start your coaching business. Maybe you’ve just wrapped up your certification. Maybe you’ve already been unofficially coaching for a while and you’re ready to make it real. Either way, congratulations. This is big.

But let me guess: you’ve also got a hundred browser tabs open.

One says “Best scheduling software for coaches.”
Another says “Do I need a coaching niche?”
And somewhere in there… there’s probably a Canva tab you’re hoping will magically spit out the perfect logo.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Starting a coaching business as a solopreneur is exciting—but it can also be completely overwhelming. When I launched my own practice over a decade ago, I had zero roadmap. Just a lot of passion, a strong work ethic, and a serious case of imposter syndrome.

That’s why I created my Launch Checklist for Coaches—a simple, comprehensive guide that walks you through the essenti...
