Life, Mastered with Molly Claire

While the holidays are often a season of joy and celebration, they can also bring a certain heaviness. Grief around the holidays can show up unexpectedly and in many different ways—sadness for the people who are no longer with us, or a sense of loss around relationships that have changed or things we wish were different. That’s why I’m bringing you this special rebroadcast episode about grief: to offer understanding for what you may be feeling and tools to help you navigate grief during the holiday season.In this episode, I’m joined by Krista St-Germain, Mikki Gardner, and Sharon Wirant—three incredible women who each guide their clients through grief in different contexts. Grief is not limited to death alone, but also includes the loss of marriages, health, identity, expectations, and imagined futures. We explore how grief often shows up indirectly in coaching conversations, and why the ability to recognize and work with it is such a vital skill for any coach.You’ll hear why grief may be present beneath the surface of your clients’ goals, resistance, or stuck patterns, and how the holistic approach of a master coach allows you to meet those moments with skill and care. This conversation is also an invitation to those of you here for your own personal growth to honor the grief you carry, to make space for it without fear, and to remember that grief does not need to hold you back or define what’s possible.When we know how to support ourselves and others through every emotion and every season—including grief around the holidays—we create real transformation. I can’t wait for you to hear this incredible episode.What you’ll learn:Why grief around the holidays often includes losses that haven’t happened yetHow divorce grief shows up as mourning the death of a future you expected to haveWhy mindset work alone can unintentionally work against clients experiencing griefHow grief and suppressed emotion can directly impact the body and energy levelsWhat a holistic master coach does differently when grief shows up as resistanceYou can read the full show notes here.About Krista St-GermainKrista St-Germain is a Master Certified Life Coach, grief expert, widow, mom and host of The Widowed Mom podcast.

Today, I’m bringing you a special rebroadcast of one of the most powerful conversations ever shared on the podcast. I’m joined by three extraordinary women—Leah Davidson, Lindsay Poelman, and Melanie Fay—for a rich, grounded discussion about what it truly means to take a holistic approach to transformation, both in our own lives and as coaches.Part of becoming a master coach is understanding that mindset work alone is not always enough—and that without the container of holistic coaching, it can even be detrimental to growth. In this conversation, we explore how the nervous system, emotions, and cognitive work intersect, and why a whole-person approach to coaching changes everything. We talk about what happens when insight alone isn’t enough, why clients get “stuck” despite knowing what to do, and how safety, regulation, and compassion create access to deeper, more sustainable change.While this episode is very much geared toward coaches, the topics we cover are important for anyone on a personal development journey. If you’re focused on your own growth, you’ll gain insight into where a more holistic approach may be missing in how you’re supporting yourself—and what might open up when that gap is addressed.This conversation offers a real glimpse into the holistic, ethical, and deeply human approach behind Master Coach Training. Each of these women has been instrumental in my own growth and healing, and it’s an honor to share their wisdom with you.What you’ll learn:How nervous system activation impacts your cognitive function and decision-making abilitiesWhy feeling safe in the body is what allows intuition to be heard and trustedHow learning to stay present with big emotions creates a new default response instead of shutting downWhy self-criticism is often a sign of nervous system overwhelm–not a mindset failureThe ethical line between coaching and therapy, and how the two can coexistYou can read the full show notes here.About Melanie FayMelanie Fay is a certified EFT practitioner and professional artist based in New York.

Every coach wants to be the one who creates life-changing results—the coach clients rave about and refer to again and again. But so many coaches find themselves stuck in the same loops, wondering why insight isn’t turning into real transformation.In today’s episode, I’m sharing a recent training where I break down why this actually happens and what you can do to help your clients move forward through resistance. When you understand the deeper skillset behind lasting change, you show up with the confidence and clarity of a Master Coach—and that is what elevates your work beyond surface-level shifts.Even when your client has awareness, they may not be making changes. You can have the same conversations week after week, yet nothing is moving, and they’re overwhelmed, confused, or shut down. We’ve all had moments like this as coaches, and they can leave us feeling frustrated or doubting our abilities. So often, we assume a lack of progress means our clients need more motivation, a mindset reframe, or a stronger push. But most coaching programs don’t teach the full picture of what clients need to get results. The real issue is almost always something different: a disconnection from their emotional world. When you learn how to support emotional safety and integrate nervous system awareness, your holistic coaching becomes more effective. This is how you create real, lasting coaching results. If you’re ready to strengthen your skills and create dependable, repeatable results with your clients, this episode will show you exactly where to begin.What you'll learn:Why clients get stuck and how to recognize the signs of what's really going on beneath the surfaceHow mindset work in isolation can be detrimental and what to integrate for a more holistic coaching approachThe three foundational steps Master Coaches use to support deeper transformationHow to use emotions as essential information for growth instead of obstacles to overcomeWhat it takes to strengthen your coaching skills so you can create reliable results with every clientYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireGet the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach CollectiveMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

Navigating health can feel complicated and overwhelming, especially for women in midlife. Between new workout routines, supplement trends, and the constant advice we see online, it’s difficult to discern what we actually need to be healthy.Deep health is not a matter of following the leader, but understanding what you–your body, your mind, and your nervous system–need to feel good. In this episode, I talk with Courtney Townley of the Grace & Grit podcast about what holistic women's health really means and how to approach it with more ease, consistency, and self-trust.We’ve been sold the idea that health has to do with how we look, but disease and dysfunction can come in all shapes and sizes. Health is multidimensional. Of course, it’s physical, but it's also relational, environmental, and spiritual. Healing means a return to wholeness, and that only happens when you honor every part of your humanity.Health can’t be attained by following a list of rules and regulations written for you; you have to learn and develop the skills to become the leader of your life and take charge of your decisions. Nobody knows your life better than you do. You know when to rest instead of pushing harder, or when to choose a morning walk and fresh air over another 5 a.m. exercise bootcamp. This self-connection is what women’s health is truly about.You are in relationship with everything—people, food, movement, and your environment. Holistic women’s health and healing begin with mending the most important relationship of all: the one you have with yourself. When you nurture that connection and reduce the stress that keeps you disconnected, you create space for the life you want.What you’ll learn:Why health is not the absence of disease, but knowing how to care for yourself within itThe difference between superficial health and deep health—and tools to move from one to the otherHow to create consistency by honoring your needs and understanding what self-care looks like for youWhy reducing unnecessary stress is the first step toward holistic women’s healthHow self-leadership and support from others are both important for your well-beingYou can read the full show notes here.About Courtney TownleyCourtney Townley is a wellness advocate, leadership coach, and passionate community-builder with over 30 years of experience helping her clients lead themselves through the health arena with more ease and grace. She is the founder of Grace & Grit and the Rumble & Rise community, where she helps midlife women strengthen their self-leadership skills, align with what truly nourishes them, and build lives rooted in purpose and connection.

So many of us move through life feeling overwhelmed by our challenges, wondering what they mean about us and whether we’ll ever find the calm we’re looking for. If you’ve ever felt stuck in stress, spiraling thoughts, or emotional chaos, today’s episode offers a powerful reframe that can help you see your life—and yourself—through a completely different lens.I’m thrilled to be joined by Abundance Alchemist Phillip Andrew, someone whose work I’ve admired for a long time and who has had a profound impact on me personally. Phillip blends science and spirituality in a way that feels accessible and grounded, and he helps people understand how powerful they truly are. In our conversation, we talk about his journey and why nervous system regulation is the foundation for creating clarity, confidence, and possibility in your life.Phillip shares how the stories we hold onto can keep us stuck, and why you don’t need to revisit every detail of your past or carefully plan your future in order to feel better today. When you create safety within yourself and regulate your nervous system moment by moment, you open the door to creativity, intuition, and a sense of inner steadiness. This is where real transformation begins.You don’t have to fix everything at once. You don’t have to have it all figured out. One moment of regulation and awareness can ripple out in ways you may not even realize.What you’ll learn:Why many of us subconsciously use victimhood as a way to feel safeWhat true emotional ownership without blaming yourself looks likeHow self-criticism becomes a subtle but powerful form of self-abuseHow science and spirituality come together through nervous system regulationSimple, moment-to-moment practices to help you build inner safety and coherenceYou can read the full show notes here.About Phillip AndrewPhillip is the founder of Abundance Alchemist™, helping people raise their consciousness, regulate their nervous system, and create abundance from identity alignment—not force.

It’s easy to think of emotions as obstacles, but they are actually one of your greatest tools. Today, we explore how shifting the way you relate to your own emotional world will have a profound impact on every area of your life.I have witnessed and experienced the emotional gap that exists for so many people walking around on the planet. Even highly trained coaches who are well-versed in mindset, action, accountability, and behavioral patterns–and how to move past emotional blocks when they come up–still lack a deeper understanding of what our emotional world actually is. Building a more intimate relationship with your emotional world is the key to creating transformation. Because when you understand your emotions and how to be with them, they lead you to a deeper sense of who you are and the life you truly want.An awareness of your emotional world doesn’t just bring you more practical success–the tangible shifts you can wrap your head around and see on a checklist–but also in the incredible internal shift you can experience as a human being. It makes the difference between achieving something and feeling proud, versus truly shifting your relationship with yourself and your worth. It’s what moves you from seeking validation, wins, or accomplishments to fill perceived holes, into a place of feeling peaceful, whole, and aligned with your authenticity.What if getting to know your emotions could help you understand yourself more deeply? What if this inner relationship could anchor your sense of self and help you feel more fulfilled? These are the questions I invite you to consider in this episode so you can begin shifting into a new relationship with your emotional world. Let’s get started!What you’ll learn:How childhood messages may have shaped a negative relationship with your emotional worldWhy reframing common beliefs about your emotions can guide you towards healing and changeQuestions to help you open up your awareness of your emotions and how they impact your relationship with yourselfHow your emotions can reveal where things need to change in order for your potential to be realizedWhy curiosity is the foundation for a better relationship with your emotional worldYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireRegister for Molly’s interactive workshop on Thursday, November 20th HERE!Get the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach CollectiveMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

No matter how much personal transformation work we’ve done, there will always be layers we haven’t yet uncovered and places within us that still need healing. In this episode, I’m joined by Master Coach Robyn Graham to discuss what it means to heal from a place of connection and safety, and how everything begins to shift–for you and your coaching clients–when you open yourself to a more holistic way of thinking about growth and change.Robyn Graham is the host of a globally acclaimed podcast, The Robyn Graham Show, and the best-selling author of You, Me, and Anxiety: Take Action Over Anxiety to Enjoy Being You. She recently completed Master Coach Training with me, and today she shares the powerful shifts she has made in her life and business since then. After years of success as a business coach, Robyn has transitioned to focus more on personal coaching, specifically helping women navigate motherhood in relation to parenting and anxiety. Her approach is a testament to the deep healing and transformation that unfold when we create true safety within ourselves and in community.At the heart of Master Coach Training is the idea that to help others transform, we must first do our own healing work. Even after years of self-development, there can still be unprocessed trauma or nervous system dysregulation that keeps us disconnected from our deepest self. When we experience feeling safe–within ourselves and within a community–that’s when healing can finally emerge. You’ll hear from Robyn about how being surrounded by like-minded women in an encouraging environment is an invaluable experience. The deep healing and transformation that happens in a community of women is truly the magic of Master Coach Training.As coaches, we have a powerful opportunity to model what it looks like to know ourselves and lead from a place of peace. We don’t just change our lives when we do that inner work; we ripple that peace and presence out to everyone around us. I can’t wait for you to hear more about what’s possible when we heal from a place of safety in this episode.What you’ll learn:What self-connection and attuning to our emotions really means and why it has such a profound impactThe importance of connectedness in coaching and how to build greater awareness of itHow Master Coach Training offers permission to be vulnerable and a space to ask questions so you can move forward in your journeyWhy true strength means being grounded in yourself and open to connection with othersHow Master Coach Training provides you with the tools and guidance needed to work on your coaching businessYou can read the full show notes here.About Robyn GrahamDr. Robyn Graham is the founder of Robyn Graham, LLC.

Every human has core emotional needs. They are as essential as air and water. Yet so often, we convince ourselves they don’t matter—that we’ll be fine if they’re not met, or that they don’t even exist. The more we deny our emotional needs, the more disconnected and dissatisfied we feel. Ignoring them leaves us out of alignment with ourselves and unable to feel whole.In this episode, I explore what’s lacking in the world of self-help, personal development, and even coaching: a genuine understanding of our emotional needs. This missing piece explains why so many people seeking growth and making real change in their lives still find themselves feeling a little bit empty inside. Today, you’ll hear why identifying and tending to your emotional needs can make a profound difference in your journey, and the reason why we’re so quick to ignore them in the first place.Learning to recognize and honor your emotional needs is essential for lasting transformation. At this level of self-knowing, my clients feel more confident, more trusting of themselves, and more grounded in their decisions. They lead their lives and businesses with clarity, and for coaches, it allows them to guide others through the same powerful process.Your emotional needs are not a weakness, but a gateway to self-knowing and true wholeness. When you pay attention and treat them as essential, you begin to fill the cracks in your foundation and build a life that feels full, grounded, and aligned with your purpose.What you’ll learn:Why unmet emotional needs create feelings of emptiness and disconnectionHow mindset work can unintentionally cause us to minimize our emotional needsThe difference between self-responsibility and isolation when it comes to meeting your emotional needsWhy taking ownership of your emotional needs also means allowing connection and support from othersThe core emotional needs we have as humans and practical ways to begin understanding and tending to themYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireGet the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach CollectiveMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

In a coaching landscape where there’s no shortage of ways to become certified, what makes one program stand out from the rest? It’s no secret–you can easily go online, attend any workshop, and walk away with a seal of approval. But a comprehensive, holistic program goes far beyond earning the title of a coach. It invites you into true life mastery—first for yourself, and then for the clients and communities you serve.In this episode, we take a deeper look into the heart of Master Coach Training. I’ll talk about what it means to be a Master Coach, how the program will be structured, and what it means for you as an individual. Even if you aren’t a coach–or you’re not yet sure if coaching is the right path for you–this episode, and maybe even a Master Coach certification, will benefit you and the life you want to create.So many of us move through life checking boxes, believing that if we follow a precise plan we’ll arrive at happiness and fulfillment. Then, at some point along the way, we face situations and challenges that wake us up to the truth: our plan can’t prepare us for everything life brings. These moments can wake us up in powerful ways, calling us to expand beyond the roadmap we’ve constructed and into a deeper alignment with our values and purpose. This is why my Master Coach certification program is first and foremost about mastering self, and why I believe this work can serve anyone on their journey to life mastery.A Master Coach certification is an opportunity to lean in and understand yourself on a deeper level. Through this holistic coaching approach, you’ll cultivate the self-connection that transforms every part of your life. It’s truly the difference between surviving and leading your life, and I can’t wait to share what’s possible when you say yes to your own mastery.What you'll learn:Why nervous system awareness is foundational to both holistic coaching and life masteryHow shifting your patterns and habits becomes easier when you develop a deeper understanding of themThe importance of personalized alignment when creating a plan of action that works for youWhy a holistic coaching approach is so powerful professionally and personallyHow the two-track design of Master Coach Training meets you exactly where you are in your journeyYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireJoin me on October 30th, 2025 for a live workshop on the productivity trap.

Do you ever feel like you’re just checking things off a list instead of truly living? That might be a sign you’re caught in the productivity trap–the constant cycle of achievement without connection that only leads to burnout.When you think about checking boxes and meeting goals, do you feel the exhaustion mixed with that spark of excitement? As achievers and ambitious souls, we can bring meaning and creativity to our goals, but that same drive can easily turn into an addiction to achievement. In this episode, I share a nuanced view of productivity and how to understand that achievement isn’t strictly good or bad. You can continue to achieve and be productive from a place of healthiness and wholeness, rather than exhaustion and that emptiness.Escaping the productivity trap isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing from a different state. Maybe a shorter task list is part of the solution, but true life alignment happens when your actions come from creativity and growth. Healthy productivity means shifting from a hustle-driven, adrenaline-fed way of producing to a more aligned, grounded, and truly fulfilling way of creating results.So ask yourself: What will be different when you can be more connected with who you are and your values? When your actions are guided by meaning, creativity, and the expansion of self, you become a stronger, brighter presence in the world.What you’ll learnHow to celebrate your achievement instead of constantly chasing moreA personal story about how my addiction to achievement began alongside my desire for moreHow to recognize when your success starts to define your worthThe biological reason behind why we get stuck in the productivity trapHow self-connection and life alignment help you guide your actions with meaning rather than pressureJoin me on October 30th, 2025 for a live workshop on the productivity trap.
