Life, Mastered with Molly Claire

As coaches, our central goal is to help our clients—this is the work we love, and to go even further, it's who we are as people. There are a few key things you can do as a highly skilled coach to truly prioritize your clients, and they are all connected to the holistic approach to coaching.In this episode, Brain Berneman offers great insight into understanding the integration of the work we do and the holistic nature of coaching. We talked in-depth about what that means—for you and your clients--and how to figure out what skills you need to be able to really help the people you work with so you don't miss the bigger picture of them as a whole person. The holistic approach to coaching accounts for the whole personMany clients seek coaching to improve one specific area of their life–whether it’s business, relationships, or personal development. However, often what they seek improvement with externally is connected to deeper internal aspects. Mental, emotional, and physical factors all play a role in shaping our experiences, and true progress comes when these elements are integrated. Skilled coaches can use one of these areas as an entry point, and then go deeper into a client's past experiences or nervous system responses to account for what is going on with the whole person. We need to offer this holistic perspective in order to guide those that we are supporting.A holistic view creates the best environment for your clientCreating a safe and inviting environment for our clients is something that highly skilled coaches know is essential to growth. This holistic approach is what truly leads our clients to feel cared for and know that we have their best interests at heart. Embrace and practice holistic and integrative coachingCoaching is not just about surface-level strategies—it’s about integrating all aspects of life to bring lasting change. By embracing a holistic approach, expanding knowledge, collaborating with other professionals, and continuously working on personal growth, coaches can provide the highest level of support for our clients. Our clients need a skilled coach who looks beyond the obvious and is willing to explore the full picture of what’s holding them back. So keep learning, stay open to collaboration, and walk the path yourself so you can guide others more effectively. Holistic coaching is truly a journey of integration, connection, and transformation.You can read the full show notes here.About Brian Berneman Brian Berneman is a beacon in the realm of conscious living, merging his foundational expertise in neuroscience with over 15 years of holistic wellness practice.

Every coach knows how important mindset is for cultivating change–but great coaches have the ability to expand beyond thought work. So what truly sets highly skilled coaches apart? An integrative approach that combines mindset, emotions, and the nervous system into an integrative approach that meets clients where they are. Many coaches start with thought work because it’s powerful and effective. But on its own, it has limits. When clients struggle to change their thoughts, it’s often because deeper emotional or nervous system patterns need attention first. In this conversation with Crystal Hansen, you’ll hear how developing the skills to have this holistic approach not only improves client results—it strengthens your business by making you a more adaptable coach.After you listen to the episode, don’t forget to sign up for my FREE live webinar on March 10th at noon CT! We’ll go even deeper into mindset and developing a holistic perspective.The power and limits of mindset workMindset work has so many benefits–it’s often the quickest path for your clients to gain awareness, take ownership, and recognize areas where a shift is needed. When your client has the understanding that they can change their mindset, they realize the control they have over their life and circumstances. This power can feel so good! But thought work is not the answer to everything–it’s important to be aware of the issues this can bring up as well. If clients believe every problem can be solved by changing their thoughts, they may start blaming themselves when it doesn’t work. The truth is that not every thought is controllable. The nervous system plays a major role in how we respond to situations, often outside of conscious awareness. And when a deeper emotion is influencing our thoughts, that’s something we need to process–not “fix” or change. It’s essential to learn how to recognize when emotional processing should take priority. Highly skilled coaches who understand both can guide clients toward meaningful, lasting change.A holistic approach sets great coaches–and their businesses–apart from the restSkilled coaches need this broader understanding of the tools they can use to truly do their service justice. None of these strategies–mindset, emotional processing, or nervous system work–are better than another. What works for one client may not work for another. Lasting change comes from knowing how to combine them to serve each individual client. A holistic approach will allow you to personalize the work you do to help them move forward in their lives–this is what will set you apart as a great coach, and help your business continue to grow. If you want to explore the topic of going beyond thought work further, sign up for my live interactive webinar on March 10th. I’m going to teach specifically about advanced mindset work and this holistic perspective that will help your clients. I’ll see you there!You can read the full show notes here.About Crystal HansenCrystal is The Couples Conflict Coach™ She is a Certified Life and Marriage Master Coach with Advanced Certification in Relationship and Marriage Coaching.

“Money” is a loaded word (and a loaded topic) for most people in one way or another. For highly skilled coaches, it can feel tricky to balance doing the work you love with achieving financial goals. This is why you often leap to action–making new offers, changing your messaging, or increasing your marketing. In reality, the path to making money is much more holistic–and it starts understanding what’s in your subconscious when it comes to money.Emily June Wilcox wrote Wounds to Wealth to share her money-healing methodology and help women understand how their limiting beliefs about money are caused by deep wounds. Making more money has to start from within–if you focus your energy outward before doing the internal work, you’ll get stuck in a cycle that will not foster the growth you want. Emily shares stories and strategies to help you understand the concept and impact of money wounds and set you on a journey of healing that will make your money dreams a reality.What are the different types of money wounds? Emily defines six money wounds in her book:The money shame wound. You don't feel worthy of wealth.The evil money wound. You feel that being rich is bad or wrong.The hard money wound. Money just feels hard for you!The money trust wound. You don’t trust yourself when it comes to managing money.The safe money wound. You need a financial cushion to feel secure.The disappearing money wound. You feel like money is going to abandon you–here one day, gone the next.You can take the quiz to find your most prominent wound, though most people have three or four that are varying degrees of strength.How limiting beliefs about money impact coaches As a coach, your specific struggle with money will be unique, depending on what your “wound” is. This is why changing “money mindset” is not as straightforward as you might think. Two coaches could be at the exact same skill level, but one is comfortable charging much more, much sooner. Why does this come easily for some but not others? It has to do with your story and expectations around money.In the Master Coach Training program, we dive deep into certain questions to provide insight into why you aren't making the money you want: How comfortable are you making an offer? How comfortable are you charging? How comfortable are you accepting money?When you’re not comfortable with those things, it’s easier to focus on trying to fix all the details of your business and making adjustments. But your relationship with money is the most foundational piece. You can read the full show notes here.About Emily June WilcoxEmily June Wilcox is a wealth and business coach, #1 bestselling author, and speaker on a mission to help women entrepreneurs heal their money wounds, make more profit in business, and build passive income so they can experience true financial freedom and time freedom.She’s built two 7-figure businesses (an e-commerce clothing company and an amazon marketing agency) and now focuses on using energetics & strategy to help women build their fempires and walk the joyous path to millions.Emily hosts a Top 2% Global podcast – The Joyous Path to Millions and her work has been featured in more than 400 major media outlets including ABC, NBC, Fox, Associated Press, and Wall Street Times.Website: https://www.emilywilcox.com Money Quiz: https://www.moneywoundsquiz.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/em.makes.moneyFB: https://www.facebook.com/emilyjwilcox1 Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-joyous-path-to-millions-wealth-entrepreneurship/id1570469677LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilyjwilcox/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@emmakesmoneyGet the book: https://www.woundstowealth.comConnect with Molly ClaireMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2025 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

Navigating change is the only constant in life! Yet, as human beings with a human brain… we often resist. It doesn't have to be this way.  In fact, with the right coach (who understands about how the brain and body work), we can move toward change in a powerful way. Often when women hit midlife, their world can slow down a bit. The biggest change we’re faced with is the question of “Who am I?” and “What is my purpose?”In this episode, Master midlife coach, Jackie Sawinson, offers her insights here on what midlife means for women and how to prepare to navigate the changes and unknowns we face during that time. Whether you're in midlife, you feel you're past it, or you feel you're not yet there, you’ll love Jackie tips and ideas for enriching your life and your coaching practice. Why is it so hard to face change?Change is inevitable and essential for growth, but it can still be so difficult to go through. Our brains love patterns. The way we think, feel, and react are patterns that are ingrained in us. Because of this, when we start to think that we might need to change, there's resistance. It’s normal to resist change mentally, physically, and emotionally because the disruption of routines and habits comes with the fear of who we are without them. The support of a coach makes a difference in midlifeWhen you are navigating both mental and physical changes in midlife, the support of a skilled coach when figuring out what is next for you is a big deal.As coaches, we know clients sometimes have to justify hiring someone to help us. But the support coaches offer is so beneficial, especially during a transitional time. With the right approach (holistic in nature), coaches create safe and accepting environments to have deep conversations and work through the challenges of change. It is so liberating to have someone to talk to someone whose job is to provide guidance and encouragement. This is why the Master Coach Training program is so focused on creating the right environment for each of your clients. Change is an amazing opportunity for growthChange doesn't negate our lives, it takes us to where we want to be. We need to change for ourselves, which then changes a lot of other things. Change is all around us every day. It's the one constant. When you remove the “weeds” of fear and anxiety that are preventing change, you make room for flowers and plants to grow in the garden that is your life. About Jackie SwainsonWhen I turned 50, everything that could happen did! And life suddenly was not what I had expected or planned. My youngest twin boys left on their missions, my husband started an addiction treatment program away from home and my son and his wife lost a new baby. I felt so alone. My family needed me, so I soldiered on, like I was “supposed” to do. But I didn’t have anyone present to minister to what I needed. I turned to my faith and my mom and dad and trusted friends. I journaled everything, and did come back to the surface. But along the way I experienced all the hard emotions, had to let go of some long held beliefs about myself, and step into change. It was a long, hard, but very rewarding process. And it is not over! I took this experience and used what I learned and became a Master Certified Life Coach so that I could help smooth the transition into this phase of life.I believe every midlife woman deserves a great life filled with joy, regardless of her circumstances. My experiences have fueled my mission to help you create the changes you desire. Let’s quiet the voices telling you you’re too old or forgotten. Instead, we’ll focus on creating a bright future – finding beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3). You’re not just surviving midlife. You’re about to thrive in it.Website: https://jackieswainsoncoach.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jackieswainsoncoach/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Jackieswainsoncoach/ Find more meaning and joy in midlife journal prompts: https://jackieswainsoncoach.com/5-questions/ Connect with Molly ClaireMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2025 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

It takes a lot of effort to run a business, especially when it comes to converting clients. On top of that, sales and marketing make many coaches uncomfortable–you just want to focus on doing the work that you love because you know you’re good with your clients. However, to work with people you truly connect with, you need a strategy to attract those clients without chasing them down.Today on the podcast, Kris Jones explains how easy it can be to convert clients so you can focus on doing what you love. She shares her “Less is more” approach to connecting with clients through storytelling in her new book, From Click to Client, and explains how to make your website the center of your marketing—so you become the obvious choice.4 steps to take you from click to clientKris outlines the 4 pillars of her book: mine, refine, design, and sign. Once you uncover your story through the mining for gold process, you can move on to refining that story and designing your website in the most effective way to convert clients. This all leads to signing the clients who will be a great fit, and who know you are the obvious choice for them.Step 1: Mine the gold of your storyYou know you have a compelling story, how do you bring out the most valuable elements to appeal to the clients you will connect with most? Step 2: Refine your messageTo fully craft your story, you have to polish the gold that you have excavated–this is the refining process. You edit out the noise and begin formulating the structure. This is where the “less is more” philosophy comes in. Step 3: Design your websiteThe way your story is presented on your website is extremely important to this process. Kris offers several tips to take your compelling, streamlined story and add elements to bring it to life without overwhelming a potential client.Step 4: Sign!This is where you get to reap all the rewards of steps one, two, and three. You sign clients and continue doing the work that matters to you–without the stress of sales!About Kris JonesMost coaches don’t have a marketing problem—they have a messaging problem. Your dream clients are likely visiting your website and quietly clicking away, not because your offer isn’t valuable, but because your story isn’t clear.After 23 years crafting stories for brands like Nike and Adidas, Kris Jones discovered a game-changing truth: a single, well-told story can replace all your marketing and double your revenue. As a hand-selected mentee of StoryBrand’s Donald Miller and founder of Red Door Stories, she’s helped hundreds of coaches transform their websites into 24/7 client-attracting machines.Her Signature Story-Selling System™ delivers real, measurable results:Scaling from $30K to $300K months300% revenue increases in under 90 daysPremium pricing with higher close ratesWaitlists filled—without ads or endless contentMarketing overwhelm ends when you tell the right story.

Mastering Sales Through Human ConnectionFor so many entrepreneurs who are starting out, it can seemdaunting to figure out how to make a sale without being salesy. It is essentialto understand that selling is serving and how to do it in a way that does notpush people into anything. Your job in sales is to build a human connection andhelp people to make a decision.Embracing Human Connection in SalesThe first thing to learn about sales is that sales are nottransactional. We are learning how to engage people to do something that theymay not want to do, but that gets them the result they are looking for. Peopleare not buying the thing we sell; they are buying the outcome and the result.Building a human connection and listening to what people are looking for allowsyou to help people decide whether to engage or not.The Power of ListeningAs salespeople, the goal is to step back from being overlyinterested in showcasing what we have to offer and instead focus on beinginterested in what the client needs. We want to be interested in them, not showoff how interesting we are. The conversations are not about you and what youhave to offer; they are about the client. By asking the right questions andbuilding a genuine human connection, you discover what truly matters to themand position your offer as a solution to their specific needs.Coaching Through ConversationsSales conversations mirror coaching sessions in many ways. Bothrequire the ability to guide individuals through uncertainties and help themreach clarity. You are not pushing someone towards a yes or a no. You aresupporting them in exploring what feels most aligned with their goals. You wantto help them make a decision that they feel good about.About Nic CramerNicole Cramer is a distinguished Sales Conversation Coach,Keynote Speaker, and Corporate Sales Trainer, celebrated for transforming salesthrough human connection and strategic language.

Through mindful business designs and embracing balance, entrepreneurs can thrive in their ventures and build their ideal life.As entrepreneurs and as women, we often find ourselves taking on multiple tasks between work, family, and personal lives. This delicate balance can be especially challenging during economic shifts that affect business dynamics. Taking a resilient approach to creating your business and ideal life can help manage these uncertainties while continuing to carve out time for yourself.Embrace a Holistic Business ApproachResilience is built through embracing a holistic approach to your life and business. You want to create a business that supports your ideal life. Looking at your financial goals and how you want to be present for your family, and yourself are all important factors in avoiding burnout. This involves focusing on economic success, personal health, and family obligations. Ensuring that work habits are sustainable in the long term is vital.Prioritize the Vision and Values of Your Ideal LifeWhen you are creating the blueprint of what you want your business to look like, be sure that you are building your business around your life and not the other way around. If it is important to you to have a business that allows you the freedom and flexibility to be with your family, set that out in your plans and build your business around that goal. Be clear about what you want your business to look like and how it can integrate with your ideal life.Rest and Recharge for Optimal PerformanceRest is a vital component of entrepreneurial success. Many women operate well under high stress, but it doesn't allow you to be the best CEO you can be. You need to be calm and grounded to plan, delegate, and have brain space for bigger-picture ideas. Having regular downtime where you get to be creative and have thoughts outside of your business is essential for avoiding burnout and building your ideal life.Cultural Conditioning and Societal ExpectationsSociety's expectations of women have been to perform, meet deadlines, and make other people happy, all while supporting their families. This pressure to succeed is not sustainable or healthy. Take a step back from these expectations and realize what your priorities are. Ask yourself how you can align your actions with what you want your ideal life to be.About MelanieMelanie Childers is the Master Business Coach for values-led coaches, course creators, and CEOs. She helps you grow and scale your business while unf*cking internalized patriarchy and hustle culture ("make sure no one's mad at you, stay small and polite, work harder to prove yourself!") so you can have a sustainable, successful multi 6 or 7-figure business that supports you and your community without burning out.Melanie's WebsiteListen to the Original Episode

Business Hacks to improve your client experience and enhance your coaching business.These three hacks will help improve your coaching client experience and increase your professionalism.Think Like A Shop-Streamline Your Payment ProcessesThis may sound like a small change, but thinking like a shop can be a foundational change that elevates your client experience. Many coaches provide their services and then send an invoice later. This can lead to needing to follow up again and again and even needing to talk about an unpaid invoice during your coaching call, which is not what you want to spend your coaching calls discussing. Switching to a payment software or link that has clients pay and then schedule a call helps to take the uncomfortable process of following up about invoices out of the equation. It keeps things clear about what has been paid and what sessions were used.Let's raise the bar in the coaching industry by providing this improved client experience. Be clear about what you offer, give your clients an easy checkout, and have a clear process that tracks your client sessions without you needing to manage to add updates.Embrace Professional Scheduling ToolsUsing an automated scheduling tool or sending a calendar invite helps improve communication with your clients and enhances the client experience.If you spend time on these little things like manually sending email reminders, it is good to ask yourself what kind of business you are creating. If you are going to create a business, make it worth your time and make it worth your client's time. When your clients hire you, you are going to scoop them up. Let them know you've got them and will take care of whatever they need.Enhance the Onboarding ProcessYour onboarding process sets the tone for your client's journey with you. When you have a well-organized and clear onboarding process, you immediately bring your client experience up to a 10. You can establish trust and build a relationship right from the beginning. When you have your first session, your client can fully open up because you have already created a safe and trusting space.About LauraLaura Roeder is a lifelong entrepreneur and founder of several multi-million dollar bootstrapped companies.

As women, we often make parenting seem effortless, but it's not, not at all. There are things in our lives that we want to change and improve, maybe your co-parenting or how you show up as a mom. Perhaps you want to hit certain goals in your income, in your life, or in your health. I help people just like you implement change and growth in your life.Where do I begin? How do I start creating change?We hear more and more about the way we believe, how we think, and our mindset. It already often feels challenging to begin implementing change, and there becomes the question of what's the best way to approach it. There are many ways to approach implementing change, and you have to find the best option for you.Four Important Aspects of Implementing ChangeMindsetThe way we think about our lives creates our experiences. If we believe that we are not capable of doing a great job of raising our kids on our own, we will struggle more because we have that belief. The way we think about our life matters.  We all have experiences. Our brain turns these experiences into thoughts that seem to be absolute beliefs that become mindsets. It just happens. Mindset is just one of the ways you can implement change. Making shifts in how we think, not in a rose-colored glasses way, but in ways that truly serve you and help you experience more ease in your life.Awareness and attending to emotional needsBeing aware of your emotion set or the go-to emotions that you often experience. Understanding our go-to emotions sometimes allows a starting point for implementing change and cultivating a new emotion set that will feel and serve you better.Being Aware of Your Nervous System ResponsesOur nervous system can have some pretty big responses at times. It's important to be aware of what your nervous system activation looks like. You may have some triggering experiences, and you immediately feel heightened when something happens. There is emotion there, but it is more of a triggered response where things in your body feel somewhat out of your control or very automatic. Being aware of these moments will give us a better opportunity to work towards processing these emotions.Mikki GardnerMikki is a certified life coach who helps women become loving, strong, effective co-parents and create a life full of resilience, abundance and joy after divorce.Mikki's WebsiteListen to the Original Episode HereAccess full show notes and all links
