Are you piecing together your coaching business with free resources, hoping something will click? The transition from therapist to coach doesn’t have to feel like pushing a boulder uphill.

In this episode, I’m handing the mic to my clients. You’ll hear raw, unfiltered stories about the true cost of DIY-ing a coaching business—emotionally, financially, and mentally. These therapists spent months (sometimes years) trying to do it all alone before finally getting the support they needed. Their biggest regret? Not getting help sooner. If you’re stuck in decision fatigue, second-guessing your niche, pricing, or whether your content actually converts - this episode is your wake-up call.

I'll share why getting the right support isn't just nice to have, it's the difference between dreaming about your coaching business and actually building it. Now let's hear what my clients have to say!

Topics covered on DIY-ing A Coaching Business:

• The downsides of trying to DIY-ing your coaching business.
• Specific challenges therapists face when transitioning from therapist to coach without guidance.
• What my clients say about working with me and the Therapist to Coach Accelerator.
• How quickly therapists can see results with proper guidance versus trying to DIY-ing their coaching business.
• More about the Therapist to Coach Accelerator and what you can expect.

Ever felt totally confused when people talk about marketing funnels for coaches as if they're speaking another language? Trust me, I've been there! As a therapist transitioning to coaching, I had no clue what a marketing funnel was either. But funnels aren't complicated tech monsters. They're simply guided paths that take people from first meeting you to becoming paying clients.

Join me in today's episode, where I break down the difference between websites and funnels, explain why funnels convert better, and walk through the most common types you can use right away. 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!

Topics covered on Marketing Funnels for Coaches:

• Why marketing funnels convert better than regular websites.
• The funnel metrics you should track at each stage of your marketing process.
• The most effective types of marketing funnels for coaches.
• How you can build your first funnel without tech skills or hiring expensive developers.
• The easiest funnel to implement when you're just getting started as a coach.

Have you ever felt like your business is taking too long to take off? Divine timing in business is something I've come to deeply understand through my recent journey into motherhood.

After going 42 weeks pregnant and experiencing a birth that looked nothing like my plans, I discovered profound parallels between birthing a baby and birthing a business. Both journeys asked me to surrender control, trust my intuition, and allow something bigger to move through me. I'm currently on maternity leave, yet I'm on track to make half a million dollars - without taking a single coaching call! This wasn't by chance. It's because I learned to create space for what matters, build systems that work without me, and trust in perfect timing.

If you’re in the in-between - no longer where you started but not yet where you want to be - this episode will remind you: you’re not behind. You’re right on time.

Topics covered in this episode:

• What my 42-week pregnancy taught me about divine timing in business.
• What it means to actively surrender and why it’s essential.
• Why nothing seems to be happening right before your biggest breakthroughs.
• What it actually looks like to create a business that runs while you’re on maternity leave.
• How to build a business that honors your natural rhythms and energy.
