Complexity is a dimension of business that is extremely under-discussed, and yet, it’s a powerful determining factor that leads to businesses sinking every single day.
Join me in this episode to learn why we’re inclined to underestimate the cost of complexity, and examples of how adding complexity sneaks up on us. I’m sharing what happens when you don’t account for complexity in advance, and how I’ve gone against the grain when it comes to adding complexity to my business.

Painful shit happens to us all the time, whether in life, love, or business. I don’t know any coach at any level of success who is exempt from it.
But there’s a huge difference between embracing clean pain versus dirty pain, and this week, I’m selling you on why it’s worth spending time naming and separating clean pain from dirty pain in your business.
With so many coaches offering group programs and memberships, is 1:1 coaching even worth offering anymore?
Heck yes, my friends. And there are so many people out there seeking it out.
Tune in this week as I share my philosophy on how to design your 1:1 offer. I’m offering tips for doing this at every stage of your business, whether you’ve just started out or have a consistent client roster on the go.

09 May 2022
00:19:56
In my own business history, I’ve put out what I thought were incredibly valuable free offers that didn’t get the kind of interest that I expected. This led to a whirlwind of negative thoughts about my ability as a coach, so it’s no surprise if the notion of providing free offers is freaking you out.
Listen in this week to find out why your potential clients may be feeling suspicious or wary of your free offers, and the key to getting the right people to snap them up.

Join me on this episode to hear what contributed to the pain I experienced during the launch of Slumber Party, and how I committed to my vision, even though the execution of it felt like garbage.
Is originality required for you to become a great coach?
In this episode, I'm answering this extremely important question and sharing how any brand new idea is created, regardless of the field or industry you’re in.
Discover the three stages of any creation process, why going through every stage is non-negotiable as you work towards creating original ideas, and how cultivating your own body of work will be inevitable in due time.
It probably won’t come as a surprise to know that I preach extraordinary generosity in marketing, but I know a lot of y’all have some gripes with the concept.
I’m always encouraging my people to give way more value than anyone expects, at such a high volume, to the point where they’re full up on everything you have to offer.
And guess what? Not only is this fine by me, but I want that to happen. And on this episode, I’m showing you why.

11 Apr 2022
01:02:42
Creating a group program is something pretty much the entire coaching world wants to know how to do, so today we're getting into it.
My guest, Meg Kierstead, is the Neurodivergence Brain Love coach who focuses mostly on ADHD, and she’s the perfect person to speak to about this topic.
This week, Meg shares how she created a group program that aligned with her vibrant uniqueness, and why waiting to feel ready is the worst thing you can do.

These are some of the most hotly contested questions in the coaching industry, and today, I'm going there.
You ultimately have complete agency in how you market and sell your coaching, and I’m showing you how to come at it from a place of mutuality and love for your client.
There’s one question I receive more than any other, and it’s, “What are the beliefs that got you to where you are?”
This question comes from a place of believing there must be some special, secretive, glamorous beliefs that have propelled me to success.
But the truth is that the backbone of my multi-million dollar business is lined with unglamorous power thoughts. And in this episode, I'm sharing what they are and showing you how to identify your own.

We've all experienced various forms of unethical urgency in marketing that drum up a psychological fear of missing out and leave us feeling anxious.
There’s no shortage of this type of energy in the world, but taking this tactic on in your coaching business is not effective.

04 Dec 2023

This goes for all you coaches in niches with other types of measurable results too because the truth is these specific numbers are not what sells.
Listen in to discover the reality of what people actually want from the coaching experience, and how to market without promising financial results.

I’ve got a method that almost feels - dare I say it - lazy, and I’m giving it to you. With my guidance, you’ll be able to stop treating belief work with haste and force, and instead, approach it with light-hearted, playful energy that will have you embodying the new belief before you know it.

My colleague Lindsay Dotzlaf and I are bringing you a joint podcast this week all about a concept we’ve coined called method constraint.
If you’re anything like us, you started your practice super passionate about teaching one paradigm or one tool that completely changed your life. But over time, you start feeling antsy for more tools, more methods, more philosophies.
This episode is your invitation to fall back in love with the tools you already know. Lindsay and I are discussing the detriments of feeling like you need more, why this happens, and the truth about what your clients actually want from your coaching.
I'm letting you in on a super-secret tool that I teach exclusively inside my Joyful Marketing community this week! It’s called the Garbage Post Challenge.

Are your thoughts about your audience costing you in your marketing?

I’m offering the most common thought errors I see playing out in my clients, the ways your assumptions about your audience are working against you, and how to begin creating intentional thoughts that have you showing up invested in your work as a coach.
BONUS: How to elevate your coaching by understanding your clients’ context
20 Oct 2021
00:06:40
As coaches, we know that our thoughts create our results, right? But in order to coach our clients effectively on their thoughts, we have to understand the CONTEXT from which these thoughts emerged. Someone whose cultural history involves persecution and multigenerational trauma may not resonate with the coaching that “everything will happen as it’s meant to,” just as someone who has learned explicitly and implicitly that their sexuality is wrong or bad won’t respond to coaching that does not take this history into account.
In this episode, you will learn how approaching your clients with radical curiosity and learning to spot how their thoughts have been shaped by their cultural context will enable you to coach clients with lived experiences that differ from your own. In this special episode, guest coaches Rachel Hart and Dr. Sonia Wright join Kara and I for a conversation about why understanding your clients’ context is so important, and how committing to curiosity and nonjudgment will help you navigate your own blind spots as a coach.

BONUS: Coaching tools aren’t one-size-fits-all (and that’s a great thing)
13 Oct 2021
00:05:17
Many coaches believe that once they become certified, they will be equipped with the tools to coach anyone on anything. It’s a lovely thought, but maybe not so helpful when you’re in your tenth session with a client who just stares at you blankly as you try to explain, for the 50th time, how their thoughts are creating their results and why that’s a great thing. While there are certainly powerful frameworks out there, the coaching principles we learn aren’t one-size-fits-all.
One single tool or framework isn’t going to work for everybody, and that’s ok. In this episode, Kara and I discuss how to bring more openness, nuance, and discernment into your coaching, so you can coach clients of different backgrounds and lived experiences effectively.

BONUS: How realizing ‘it’s all made up’ will make you a better coach
06 Oct 2021
00:09:38
Coaching tools didn’t descend from the heavens. They were developed by humans whose social context impacted the way they saw the world and their clients, including what they even viewed as a “problem” to be solved in the first place. In other words, those coaching modalities that you know and love? Yeah, those were made up.
Before you abandon all meaning and run off into the woods, tune into this episode to learn why understanding this is exactly what will elevate your coaching. Kara and I will discuss how learning the intellectual history of modern coaching concepts and embracing the subjectivity of coaching modalities will help you deliver powerful coaching to clients with radically different backgrounds and beliefs than you.
