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.

SAYING YES WITH GOD- Saying yes isn’t just about self-permission—it’s about alignment. In this episode, we’ll talk about how saying yes to yourself becomes a way of partnering with God’s will, reducing decision fatigue, and taking the next right step in faith. You’ll learn how to hear what He’s saying, how to recognize when you’re in alignment with Him, and why this matters for you personally and for the clients you coach. And if you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to step into your calling as a coach, this may be your invitation to finally say yes.

Key Takeaways:

• Saying yes to yourself creates clarity, reduces mental fatigue, and honors God’s design for your life.
• You can discern God’s leading by checking it against His Word, listening for peace, and looking for the fruit of the Spirit.
• As a coach, your lived yes models courage and alignment, and it invites clients into their own partnership with God’s will.

Listener Challenge: This week, pause before a decision—big or small—and ask: “Lord, what’s Your heart in this?” Pay attention to the peace or clarity that rises, and take the next right step by saying yes in faith.

VALUE ISN’T A CURRICULUM- When it comes to coaching, a lot of us feel pressure to prove our worth by stacking on more — more hours, more worksheets, more bonuses. But the truth is, people don’t come to you asking for a 20-step plan or an entire curriculum. Coaching is nuanced and client-led. In this episode, I’ll show you how to think about value in a way that’s both simple and powerful, how to communicate it through real-life examples, and why clients are willing to invest when they see transformation in action.

Key Takeaways

1. Value isn’t about extras — it’s about the shift from confusion to clarity, fear to peace, stuck to action.
2. Clients don’t need your whole toolbox upfront — they need cultivated value, offered in real-time.
3. Sharing short, real examples of transformation communicates value better than laying out a whole curriculum.

Listener Challenge Write down one example from your own coaching (or your personal story if you’re just starting) where someone moved from stuck to clear. Share it out loud this week — with a friend, a peer, or even on social media — and notice how confidently you can communicate value without explaining your whole process.

YOUR CORE BELIEFS MATTER- If I asked you right now, “What are your core beliefs?”—could you answer? Most of us can’t, not because we don’t have them, but because we’ve never slowed down to write them out and name them out loud. In this episode, I’ll walk you through ten questions to help uncover your own core beliefs about your audience, transformation, faith, values, and legacy. I’ll share mine as examples, and then you’ll have space to discover yours. Once you clarify your core beliefs, you’ll have a filter for every decision you make and a foundation for the business God is calling you to build.

Key Takeaways

1. Core beliefs are already shaping how you serve, decide, and lead—even if you haven’t named them yet.

2. Clarifying your core beliefs gives you a filter for every opportunity, choice, and commitment in your business.

3. Your beliefs about God, people, and transformation determine the kind of coaching or leadership legacy you’ll leave behind.

Listener Challenge Work through the ten questions shared in this episode. Write your answers without overthinking. Then pray over them and ask God which beliefs He wants you to stand firm in as you lead, serve, and build your business.

THE PAYOFF AND PITFALLS OF BEING SOMEONE’S SOLUTION-There’s a real emotional payoff when you realize you’ve been part of someone’s solution. It feels good because God designed us for connection and contribution. But what happens when we start chasing that feeling instead of staying rooted in truth? In this episode, we’ll talk about the joy of being a solution, the hidden pitfalls like over-responsibility and the dopamine trap, and how to find the healthy middle ground as a coach and as a woman of faith.

Key Takeaways

1. Being someone’s solution affirms your value, strengthens connection, and builds legacy.
2. Pitfalls include tying your worth to helping, overextending, resentment, missed boundaries, and chasing the dopamine “high.”
3. The healthy middle ground is remembering you’re a vessel, not the source—you’re responsible to people, not for them.

Listener Challenge Reflect on a recent time you were someone’s solution. Did it bring joy, or did it leave you drained? Pay attention this week to whether you’re offering from overflow or chasing the emotional high.

IMPACT THAT MULTIPLIES BEYOND YOU- Coaching doesn’t just change one life—it creates ripple effects that influence families, communities, and future generations. In this episode, I share a story of a client whose transformation impacted everyone around her, and I explain how the PEARL Practice helps you guide people toward a legacy that lasts.

Key Takeaways:

• Coaching creates change that extends far beyond one person.
• The Legacy step of PEARL focuses on the bigger picture of a client’s life.
• When clients live differently, they influence everyone they touch.

Listener Challenge: Think about someone who has impacted your life for the better. Write down how their influence has spread into different areas of your life, and imagine the ripple effect you could create for someone else through coaching.
