In this episode of Coaching Magic, Jill Young sits down with Trevor Timbeck — coach, author, and self-described lover of language — for a conversation that lives at the intersection of presence, language, and inner work. Together they explore how the words we choose don't just describe our world, they coordinate our behavior and shape our nervous systems in real time.

Trevor introduces the idea of the "widest possible dance floor" — a way of coaching (and living) that lets go of truth, objectivity, and right-vs-wrong in favor of what actually works. He and Jill unpack why appeals to "the truth" so often become the first step toward demanding obedience — and how that same instinct shows up in coaching sessions, in leadership, and even at the family dinner table.

The conversation moves through some of Coaching Magic's core ideas — creating space, sending invitations, and objectives over agenda — and pairs them with Trevor's own language: domains instead of levels, participating instead of creating, and the "agenda-less agenda," where responsibility replaces rigidity. Along the way, Trevor reframes confidence as practice, and fear as something to accept rather than override, describing presence itself as "the most powerful system."

It's a conversation full of what Trevor calls "quake moments" — the phrases that land with enough force to reorganize how you think. Coaches, grab your notebook: this one rewards slow listening.

Meet Trevor!

Trevor Timbeck lives, coaches, and plays at the intersection of love, language, and leadership. He's the author of The Power of Systems, and he loves to walk slowly and listen to the universe.

Trevor's coaching philosophy centers on presence over performance and coordination over control. He prefers language like domains over levels (to avoid hierarchy, which he believes tends to devolve into violence) and talks about participating in rather than creating the people around him. He's known for distinguishing between truth and what's simply coherent or workable — and for treating fear not as something to push through, but something to accept.

Want to find him? He's easy to spot — by his own account, he's the only Trevor Timbeck in the world.

In this episode of Coaching Magic, Jill Young sits down with EOS Implementer Caroline Moluf for a conversation that weaves together drive, impact, gratitude, and the power of living what you coach.

At the center of it all is a reframe Caroline has discovered: life doesn’t get in the way—life is the way. Jill and Caroline explore how our lived experiences become the curriculum for both our growth and our coaching, and how surrounding ourselves with supportive, inspiring people fuels our ability to lead and serve.

Caroline shares how her drive has evolved into a deep commitment to impact, how gratitude and awareness shape her daily life, and how coaching principles showed up exactly when she needed them most during a pivotal season with her family. Together, they reflect on joy, presence, and the magic of applying what we learn in real time.

This episode offers a real-time look at what happens after “baby coach” beginnings—when experience, self-trust, and identity start to click into place. Jill Young sits down with EOS Implementer Tricia Drake to explore her two-year evolution as a coach, from early uncertainty to grounded confidence. Together, they unpack the powerful distinction between what is normal (shared human experience) and what is natural (your authentic way of being), and how returning to that natural state unlocks deeper presence, stronger client impact, and more ease. Along the way, they explore the art of “dancing” with clients, the challenge of releasing attachment to outcomes, and a memorable octopus encounter that brings that lesson to life in an unforgettable way.

Meet Tricia Drake!

Jill Young sits down with her friend Sophia Qadri, a registered herbalist and Reiki master, for a rich conversation about coaching, healing, and the power of energy exchange. Together they explore how plants can support us as human beings, how coaches can think about themselves as healers, and why replenishing energy matters just as much as giving it.

Three Takeaways:

1. Coaching is an energy exchange

Sophia shares how she learned the hard way that giving too much without receiving back can lead to burnout. The conversation reframes coaching as something energetic, not just transactional, where support flows best when there is a healthy exchange.

2. Plants can teach us how to support and restore

Jill and Sophia connect herbalism to coaching by exploring how plants communicate, nourish, ground, and guide us. The episode highlights schisandra as a “five flavor berry” with qualities that support stress, focus, digestion, and overall resilience.

3. Healers come in many forms

One of the most expansive ideas in the episode is that healing does not have to look one way. A healer might be a coach, a herbalist, a shop owner, or even someone helping others feel better in a bank. The episode invites listeners to see support, care, and presence as part of everyday human work.

Meet Sophia!

Sophia Qadri is a registered herbalist, Reiki master, and the owner of Spring to Healh Apothecary in Keller, Texas. She supports people through herbal medicine, energy work, and holistic practices that help mind, body, and soul.

In this conversation, Jill Young talks with Jennifer Deroin about how EOS becomes more than a work framework—it becomes a way of life. Together, they explore long-term thinking, manifestation, gratitude, and the tension between creating a future vision and staying present in the moment. Jennifer also shares how her personal and professional worlds have blended over time, and how that blend has shaped the way she leads, lives, and dreams.

Key Themes:

1. EOS as a way of life
Jennifer shares how EOS permeates not just her work as an implementer, but also her home life, conversations, and the way she thinks about the world. The principles show up everywhere because they are rooted in values that apply beyond business.

2. Visioning with intention
The conversation explores the power of writing down what you want, visualizing it, and recognizing it when it appears. Jennifer describes how imagining her future helped her notice opportunities and move toward them with confidence.

3. Unattached to the outcome
Jennifer’s story about creating a version of her dream home shows how visioning can still lead to something even better than the original picture. The process matters, but the final form may look different than expected.

Presence, gratitude, and people
Jennifer and Jill reflect on gratitude as a grounding practice that brings people back to the present. Jennifer also notes that the people in our lives are often the clearest expression of EOS values in action.

Jill Young sits down with longtime friend and coach Mari Tautimes for a candid conversation about deep listening, personal growth, and what it really means to trust yourself—both in coaching and in life.

Three Takeaways:

1. Great coaching is quieter than you think
As confidence grows, the need to “perform” or provide answers fades. Powerful coaching comes from listening deeply, asking thoughtful questions, and allowing space for insight to emerge.

2. You already have what you need
Like a seed contains everything needed to become a tree, the core traits for growth—curiosity, resilience, resourcefulness—are already within you. The work is learning to activate them.

3. Trust yourself to show up for yourself
A defining idea from this episode: self-trust is built by consistently showing up. Not perfectly—but honestly, intentionally, and in alignment with what matters most.
