WHAT YOU DO NATURALLY IS VALUABLE - Let’s be honest: if you’ve been mentoring, encouraging, guiding, and holding space for the people around you, you’re already doing the work of a coach. The only difference? You haven’t been paid for it… yet. This episode will help you recognize the value of what you’re already doing and begin to shift from “helpful friend” to “paid guide” with clarity and confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Coaching isn’t something you start from scratch—it’s something you name and shape.
2. You’ve probably been building your skills in everyday conversations for years.
3. Shifting into a paid role is more about ownership than worthiness.

Listener Challenge: Write down five situations where you showed up like a coach in your everyday life. What did you do? How did you help? What would it look like to treat that with the same value as paid work?

CALLED TO COACH? LET’S FIND OUT- Have you ever felt a tug in your spirit—like coaching might be your next right step, but you’re not sure if you’re “qualified” or “ready”? In this episode, we’ll explore the signs that point to a coaching call and help you tune into what God might already be stirring in your heart. Because if you’ve been showing up, listening deeply, and guiding others naturally… this might be confirmation of what’s already true.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. A coaching call often shows up as a question more than a declaration.
2. You don’t need a stage—you need a heart for people and a desire to grow.
3. Pay attention to what others thank you for—it often reveals your role.

Listener Challenge: Write down the last 3 times someone thanked you for something meaningful. What did you do? How did you show up? What pattern do you see?

USE WHAT YOU’VE LIVED- You don’t need a fancy funnel or a big brand to start coaching. What you need is your story. In this episode, I’ll show you why your lived experience is your greatest asset as a guide—and how to steward it with integrity, clarity, and boldness. You already have everything you need to begin showing up for the people who need your wisdom.

Key Takeaways:

1. Your story is not a detour- it’s actually the doorway.
2. People connect with who you are more than what you’ve studied.
3. Stewarding your story means mining it for meaning, but not staying stuck in it.

Listener Challenge: Write out 3 major turning points in your life.

Ask: What did I learn? Who could this help? How can I bravely share this?
