Life, Mastered with Molly Claire

The impact a coach can have on Moms as they navigate motherhood cannot be overstated. And the Mom niche in coaching has some unique challenges. Moms are often the ones to minimize themselves and the load they carry. They don’t tend to ask for help or seek support. On the flip side, those moms that don’t minimize themselves, and do ask for help, tend to feel as though they should have guilt for not fitting the norm. We absolutely need to flip this dynamic! That's why I'm excited to have with me for this episode Conscious Parenting Coach, Mikki Gardner. We are both on a mission to empower women. It is our goal for Moms to feel validated regarding getting support, honored as an example of a powerful woman and leader, and embraced for the exceeding value of parenting well. Imagine with us a world where moms are not judged as they currently are but rather are proud and filled with confidence. This is our vision. And to all those who join us in this important Mom space work, I thank you. “If this is what is in your heart to do, it’s there because this is what you’re supposed to do… And it is needed more now than, honestly, I believe it ever has been… We have got to change that paradigm and giving it [motherhood] the importance that we all know that it has.” – Mikki Gardner What You’ll Learn Big, fancy, shiny Stop the message Personal changes Struggle to charge and viability of niche Multiple options Step into yourself Tangible quick wins Validate women Connect with Mikki Gardner Mikki Gardner is a certified Life + Conscious Parenting Coach.

Building your business and leveraging sales and marketing can be daunting when you feel like you don’t know where to begin or what to do. How do you position your messaging to create a business that builds to 7-figures? How often do you need to change it up? How can you compensate if you don’t feel very skilled in getting your message to the right people? Being ready to adapt is key. Things are constantly changing and we can reach more people who need us as we change with it. In this episode, Jody Moore and I talk about all this. Jody is both an encourager and very skilled at helping others focus their sales and marketing. She and I discuss the key elements to business building, including adaptation, waitlists, identifying your niche, and more. We hope this episode emboldens you, especially the portions about how effort can build skills and failure is a thought we can reframe to move forward. “There’s effort and there's skill… If you just take a lot of effort, you don’t have to have the skill. The effort alone will compensate for your lack of skill… The effort builds the skill.” – Jody Moore What You’ll Learn Adaptation Waitlists Niche focus Effort builds skill Failure thoughts Stagnation and adjustments Time, money or both Connect with Jody Moore After having her first two kids, Jody Moore struggled with work/life balance, embracing motherhood, and liking herself. As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints she felt guilty for not loving the role of mother and wife, and turned to life coaching for help. The transformation she experienced not only helped her at work and at home, it strengthened her testimony of Christ, leading her to dive into learning the tools of coaching and to leave her position as a corporate leadership coach to launch her own coaching practice. Jody is certified through The Life Coach School and completed Master Coach Certification in 2018. Today Jody has helped tens of thousands of people through her top-rated podcast, Better Than Happy, as well as her coaching membership program Be Bold. She has 4 children ages 6 – 16 and resides in Spokane, Washington with them, her husband, their French bulldog, Finn, and cat, Oscar. jodymoore.com Instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching | @jodymoorecoaching Facebook.com/jodymoorecoaching jody@jodymoore.com  Better Than Happy Podcast Get Jody’s FREE Online Marketing Time and Money Savers!

Can a coach really ever make back the money invested in training and in building her business? We all have goals in the amount of money we want to make (as we should) but is simply recouping the money invested truly possible? Or might there be a better way? In this episode, I want to talk about this because we all start out in the same place. We invest first and then open our coaching business and begin making money. As we do so, it's important to know from the beginning that we won’t ever really “make that money back”. And, it’s even more important to know… that’s actually a good thing. Now you may be thinking, “What?? How can not making my money back possibly be a good thing?” Stick with me. It will make so much sense very soon. “[As] you invest in those things that aren't really tangible, that don’t seem to have that immediate monetary reward… Guess what gets better? Your focus, your mindset, the energy you have to bring to your business… all of it is affected in huge ways.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn  Expansion on investment What will I create? What are my rules? What are the returns? What do I need to gain?

Is your underwear affecting your business growth? Yes, I asked that question. And believe it or not, it might be! How you feel about yourself is reflected in your style, and that affects your confidence. Confidence then affects your business success because people want to work with someone who operates in confidence. So if you’re looking to increase your biz success, it might be time to check your style. This is why I’m so excited to have on the show style coach and author, Judith Gaton. The definition of style that Judith works from is this: “Your thoughts and feelings about yourself, outwardly reflected”. She says it’s all about becoming clear on what you like and don’t like, not allowing other “rules” you hear to pressure you into changing that, and remembering it’s about how your clothes make you feel.  “Style is such an amazing conduit to a woman’s heart and mind… Remember, this is about your relationship with yourself first.” – Judith Gaton What You’ll Learn  That Magic Moment Style as a conduit Transformation through style Edit Design Curate Style Statement The story your underwear drawer tells Freedom of authenticity Your relationship with yourself first Style brain signals Connect with Judith Gaton Judith Gaton is a stylist, life coach, author and former lawyer. Through her 8-week style and coaching program, Judith helps women who have figured out their careers but not their closets. She helps women see that when style and confidence are dialed in, they can do the work they were created to do in the world. Judith’s ultimate philosophy: Confident women build legacies.

Do you have to have everything together and be completely ready in order to make 7-figures and have an enormous impact? Spoiler alert (and the great news): No. When you offer something to a specific group of people who are hungry for help, when you meet a need no one else is meeting, when you make a commitment to show up – no matter what – you can have an amazing business. To talk about what this looks like and how it can come together, I’m excited to have Katrina Ubell, MD on this episode. We discuss several topics around building a thriving business, including identifying people’s needs, ROIs, working through perceived certainty (and uncertainty), and staying connected to our purpose. One point Katrina really is energetic about is finding your passion and staying committed to it.  “When I’m having intrusive thoughts about… ‘you should just get rid of this thing… go run away… you don’t have to do this’... But I really want to make an impact on this group of people. This group of people needs the information I have to share. And I just then start thinking how disappointing it would be to them. Someone had that answer and they just stopped or gave up… and what a shame, there’s all these people that aren’t going to be helped.” – Katrina Ubell, MD What You’ll Learn Making 7-figures starting at nothing Designing your niche by identifying external needs Choosing wise investments for your business Perceived certainty (and uncertainty) Staying connected to purpose A peek into How to Lose Weight for the Last Time Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Katrina Ubel, MD Katrina in her own words… As a pediatrician, I always struggled with my weight. For decades, I lost and gained the same 40 pounds. I tried every diet and program under the sun. Some worked for a while, but I’d always regain the weight. In 2016, I finally figured out how to make weight loss permanent. I developed a program to help other busy physicians like me who often de-prioritize their own wellness. As a weight loss coach, I’ve now helped over 1,300 busy physicians and professionals find and stay at a healthy weight and achieve the same peace and freedom around food.

Fear can be pretty sneaky. It can appear like problems – especially ones you’re not sure how to tackle or overcome. But those problems might just be uncertainty, not difficulties you can’t navigate. And fear and uncertainty magnify problems by making you feel alone. But let me assure you, what’s stopping you from moving forward in your business is not only common, it’s very normal.  It’s normal to feel stuck, to wonder if we need to change things… a lot of things. If you’ve ever pondered: “Should I change my niche?”, “Should I change what I charge?”, “I don’t know if my program is (fill in the blank)”... you are experiencing normal business frustrations. And it’s important to find practical, workable solutions to them. But because fear feeds sabotage, it is even more important to really open yourself up. Doing so moves you through any places of fear and doubt… and on to helping those you are gifted to help. “When you notice you’re stuck or you’re self-sabotaging, or you’re lost or you’re overwhelmed, and you have your coach work with you to find out what’s there – you will have that fear come up.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn  Fear of Success Capability overwhelm Fear of Caretaking Unhealthy responsibility Fear of Failure Avoidance Fear of Disappointment and Disappointing Stifling progress Ways fear disguises itself Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Molly Claire You can give Molly a special gift!

We’ve all had that experience at least once, right? That time a sales call or presentation left us with a really bad taste in our mouth. It felt sleazy, slimy and you knew you'd never say yes. Afterward, you vowed to never be that person. Whether you like sales, hate them, or land somewhere in between, we all want our potential clients to have a comfortable, positive sales experience with us. Even if they decide it’s not for them. Before we begin, I want to encourage you. Even if you find sales uncomfortable or intimidating, you likely already have a great foundation, you simply don’t know it. Why? How? Because we all naturally tell people about things we like and we’re passionate about, without thinking anything of it. And really, that’s sales at its core. You can build on that by mixing in a few key sales elements and a little authenticity to make sure your potential clients always have a fantastic experience.   “The truth is, we’re all selling all the time… Something I do with my clients is really help them to notice what it feels like when they are sharing something amazing that they love and there’s no money involved. And that feeling and that experience is what I call your unique sales energy… You’re better at selling than you think.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Why you have a great sales foundation Reflect on a great experience Sold without realizing it Draw from positive experiences 6 key sales elements #1: Have your client’s best interest at heart #2: Listen to fears and help overcome #3: Help your client visualize #4: Assume they want to work with you #5: Don’t be afraid to compassionately ask hard questions #6: Give your client the gift of closure Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Molly Claire You can give Molly a special gift!

As coaches, it is our desire to reach and help as many people as possible. Having your own podcast is absolutely one of the best and most economical ways to accomplish that. But getting started and maintaining a podcast can be daunting. How exactly does one edit and produce their own show? What kind of equipment should you use? What about editing software? Should you have written show notes?... Frankly, some of us might relish the technical stuff but others of us have absolutely no desire to deal with it. Regardless, we all want to share our expertise and release more hope and love into the world. That’s where people like my podcast guy, Daniel Abendroth, come in. He and his wife, Michelle, own Roth Media, LLC, a podcast production company. I wanted to have him on for this episode to help guide anyone who is considering starting their own podcast or possibly looking to do less work to produce their current podcast. Among other points, Daniel and I discuss the benefits of starting a podcast, when it might be the right time to start, how you can lean into your gifts, and how consistency is key. “For coaches, [podcasting is] an amazing tool to grow your business and connect with your audience in a whole different way… From a listener standpoint, there’s this weird intimacy. You feel like you’re sitting with a friend, chit-chatting or, like, just listening to them talk about something that they’re passionate about… It also gets them to know you… whether or not you’re the right coach for them.” – Daniel Abendroth What You’ll Learn For the love of podcasting What podcasting does for your business When you should consider starting a podcast Lean into your gifts Identify your ideal client Consistency and batching The complexity and time commitment of a successful podcast A few equipment and media source recommendations Contact Info and Recommended Resources Royalty free music sources: MelodyLoops.com and Uppbeat.io Podcast editing software: REAPER Learn how to use REAPER: reaperforpodcasting.com Schedule a FREE consultation with Daniel and his wife, Michelle: rothmedia.audio/schedule/consultation.

Roth Media offers podcast editing, production and consultation to make their clients’ shows sound smooth and professional, while saving them time and money. When Daniel began his podcasting journey, he wanted his ideas to reach more people. Then while creating his own show, he fell in love with podcast production and wanted to use the skills he’d developed to help others share their ideas. Before long, Daniel discovered how very needed his expertise is. An unfortunate truth became apparent: Most new podcasters simply don’t make it. The low barrier to entry allows anybody to start a podcast but very few have the drive to keep going, and even fewer have the ability to handle everything on their own. Thus, Daniel’s passion to help coaches and solopreneurs positively impact the world through podcasts was born. As Daniel’s journey to improve his own podcast editing skills continued, he also launched Reaper For Podcasting. The editing software, REAPER, is what Daniel uses but he discovered that the learning curve to use it for podcasting, as opposed to music editing, was pretty steep. So he created a channel to share what he’s learned so other podcasters can use REAPER more efficiently and effectively. rothmedia.audio Instagram Twitter Facebook Linkedin | Daniel Linkedin | Roth Media Reaperforpodcasting.com Youtube Facebook Reddit Connect with Molly Claire Give Molly a gift!

Certainty in your business and finances is the goal of every coach. You have a mission to bring life change to others, impact the world, and make a positive difference. Of course, to do that you have to be able to last through ups and downs in the economy. As you build your business during unstable times, there are ways to increase your resiliency. In this episode, I’m excited to share some of them. I believe in order to recession proof your business, you first must recession proof yourself. How? By focusing on your message, choosing your influence group very wisely, and adapting to meet current needs.  “Adaptability is the key to succeeding in any environment… We need to find the balance of having systems in place, having order, having a plan, following it… And also being able to easily adapt, and shift, and shimmy, and meet the needs of our clients and meet the needs of the world now.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn How we interact with money It’s about the message Engage with growth-minded people Choose your people wisely Exercise adaptability Contact Info and Recommended Resources The Masterful Coach Collective starts in September!
