I'm in the middle of moving houses, and it's forced me to do something I'd been avoiding for way too long — clean out my office. Two years of accumulated papers, old workshop materials, client files from programs I'd half-forgotten about. And as I sorted through fifteen years of coaching work, I realized something kind of wonderful: I've worked with thousands of people. That felt amazing to see. But you know what felt even better? Getting it all cleaned out and ending up with a clear desk, organized files, and a brain that finally had some breathing room.

If your coaching business has been accumulating clutter — physical, digital, or strategic — this episode is your invitation to do the same. We're going beyond tidying your desk (though we'll cover that too) and into the deeper work of auditing your offers, revisiting your pricing, cleaning up your systems, and making sure everything in your business is still aligned with where you're headed.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why simplify

If marketing feels heavy, awkward, manipulative, or exhausting… it’s probably not because you’re bad at marketing.

It’s probably because you’re trying to follow a strategy that doesn’t match your values.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing what values-based marketing actually looks like inside my own coaching business. I’m walking you through 10 things I don’t do — and why.

• Why I don’t coach in niches I haven’t personally lived
• Why I waited a full year post-separation before supporting women through divorce
• Why I don’t manufacture urgency or use pressure-based launch tactics
• Why I don’t overprice just because I can
• Why I ditched ManyChat (even though it worked)
• Why I don’t automate inti

There’s a moment every coach knows.

You’re mid-session.
Your client says something unexpected.
The conversation shifts — emotionally, directionally, energetically.
And suddenly, you feel it:

I don’t know what to do next.

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...
