Creating a Values-Based Business, with Sarah Rees

Monday, July 22, 2024 • Duration 53:57

I first met Sarah D Rees through my class, The Insta Retreat, quite a few years ago, and we’ve worked together ever since. Sarah is a mental health nurse and CBT therapist with over 10 years of experience in private practice. Through her mentoring and coaching services, she supports other therapists in setting up and growing their private practices. Sarah struggled with the lack of a business plan and structure in her private practice, leading to dissatisfaction and confusion, and wanted to help others so they don’t have to feel the same way.

Her book, A Therapist’s Guide to Private Practice: Building a Values-based Business, is out this week (Happy publication week, Sarah 🥳), so it seemed the perfect time to ask her on the podcast to hear about it and how she supports therapists.

Things we talk about in this episode:

* Challenges of setting up a private practice for therapists and coaches

* Identifying values in business and personal life

* Marketing strategies for private practice therapists

A Beginner's Mindset to Instagram, with Katie Pulsifer

Tuesday, February 13, 2024 • Duration 52:18

I first met deep-dive master coach Katie Pulsifer when she was my instructor for certification at The Life Coach School. I recall being pretty intimidated. I’ve never been sky-diving or tried a bungee jump, but I’m pretty sure the adrenaline rush is comparable to coaching in front of Katie for immediate feedback in front of a group. 🪂

Katie’s recently gone solo, after many years working for a large coaching school, and as we caught up over Zoom I was struck by how her open, beginner’s mindset to social media is bringing so much ease and fun to her work. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all recapture a little bit of that early magic when we’re showing up on the internet?I asked Katie to come on the podcast to tell us more.

Things we talk about in this episode:

* How Katie found her niche and why it resonates with her deeply

* Building a values-led business, and being ok with not doing things like everybody else

* The mindset shift and learning curve in switching from employee to entrepreneur

* Using Instagram, Facebook, newsletters and Substack to grow an audience in 2024

* The evolution of coaching techniques, including the self-coaching model, and how Katie adapts them to best serve her clients

* The importance of trusting the process, being present, and allowing growth to unfold naturally

Introducing: The Substack Soirée Podcast

Friday, November 24, 2023 • Duration 01:08:53

I’m sharing something a little different today… the results of my ‘podcast affair’ with my Aussie bestie, the gorgeous Ms Keeley Rees . Bonded over our love of storytelling and creativity, Keeley and I and came together to create The Substack Soirée - a gathering of resources, classes and a shiny new podcast, in the hope of passing some of that passion along.I chose this very first episode to share here with you on Hashtag Authentic because I really think the fundamentals we talk through - which we’re jokingly calling our ‘commandments’ - are applicable to every and any platform out there online.

So, whether you’re Substack-curious, have no intention of ever joining Substack or are a self-confessed Substa-holic, I hope this episode can offer you support, strength and encouragement for showing your creative side online.If you want to hear more from me and Keeley, be sure to Subscribe to The Substack Soirée and to the SSS podcast in your favourite podcast app.

PS - Our special Winter Substack class is now enrolling, until Monday November 27th! Check out all the details on how you can join us here.
