If you’ve ever thought, "Everyone and their mom is a coach - how am I supposed to stand out?" you're in the right place! Standing out as a coach isn't about shouting louder or competing with others—it's about creating your own blue ocean. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how to position yourself as the go-to expert in your niche, even if you're just starting from scratch.

The coaching industry has grown 62% since 2019 for a reason. People are craving support outside traditional systems. But if you're speaking to everyone, you're selling to no one. I'll show you my 10-step formula to cut through the noise, from hyper-niching down to creating your signature framework (your secret sauce!). You'll learn why your copy matters more than pretty branding, how to step into your CEO identity, and why focusing on conversations beats obsessing over algorithms.

Whether you're a therapist wanting to scale beyond the office, or just craving more freedom and impact, this episode is a must-listen for you. The world doesn't need more noise—it needs the fully expressed version of YOU.

You'll learn exactly how to build your first funnel even if you're not tech-savvy, which metrics actually matter, and how to start simple. I've spent five years perfecting these systems, and today I'm sharing what really works. Let's demystify this whole funnel thing together!
