STUCKNESS ISN’T FAILURE— When clients loop, defend, or go quiet, they’re not resisting you—they’re protecting themselves. Your job isn’t to push; it’s to stay calm and create safety until their system can settle and see again.

Key Takeaways

• Stuckness often signals pain, not rebellion.
• Silence and curiosity regulate the moment better than pressure.
• Presence builds trust that allows insight to emerge naturally.

Action Guide When a client gets stuck, wait five full breaths before speaking. Let the stillness do its work.

FIND THE BELIEF, NOT JUST THE STORY-Clients come in describing details, emotions, and people—but the real coaching moment happens when you hear the belief underneath it all. Transformation begins when you can separate circumstance from interpretation and help the client uncover what they’re making it mean.

Key Takeaways

• The root issue is rarely the situation—it’s the paradigm behind it.
• Ask questions that get to meaning instead of adding more detail.
• Awareness of interpretation brings breakthrough faster than advice.

Action Guide Listen for repeated words or emotional spikes in your next session. Ask, “What are you making this mean about you?”

‘BUSINESS’ CAN FEEL INTIMIDATING- You feel called to offer your services, but the business aspect freaks you out. You wish you didn’t have to create everything from scratch. In this episode, I’m talking about why that feeling is normal, how to move from fear to focus, and what simple actions can help you build a business that supports your calling instead of stifling it. You can do this!

Key Takeaways

1. Business isn’t separate from calling- it’s the structure that sustains it.
2. You don’t really need to start from scratch. You need a system you can make your own.
3. Easy is allowed and it’s possible. Structure multiplies impact and creates the freedom you want.

Listener Challenge

Choose one of the ten steps I mention and do it this week. Don’t overthink it, just pick the one that gives you the most peace or creates the most curiosity. Maybe it’s naming your calling, writing your first offer, or reaching out to serve one person. The goal isn’t to build it all: it’s to just take action.

Then, journal what you learn as you take that step. What did you feel? What did you discover about your gifts, your courage, or your resistance? Ask God to meet you in that space and show you how He’s already preparing the way. Small obedience will open doors that striving never could.
