Use Safety to Move You Past Fear and Build Your Business

It’s both ironic and fascinating how we tend to avoid things we know we ought to do, and yet we don’t. But we’re complex beings. Just telling ourselves to move past the fear to move forward in our businesses often isn’t the answer. Whether it’s things you really need to do, or things you only think you need to do, the reluctance is real. But by broadening our perspectives on internal fear and seeking safety, we can help alleviate some of them. After all, it’s not always as straightforward as knowing specific steps. If it were, you would have already done it. It’s also about knowing ourselves. And knowing how to use safety to move you past fear and onto building your business. “The only way that we can truly grow into our full potential is by having that safety. By healing the fears within us to grow and expand.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn I know but… Reaching full potential Providing the safety you need yourself Healing the fears within you Filling the emptiness gap Getting your own support Contact Info and Recommended Resources Master Coach Training 2024 REGISTRATION is OPEN!

Ethics, Education, and Reality Checks: What's missing from the coaching industry

A hot topic right now in coaching is ethics and education. People have questions about practices and whether or not certain practices might be doing more harm than good. And I believe that, as coaches, we should be embracing these questions rather than shying away or being intimidated by them. How can all these questions be a good thing? First of all, it gives us the opportunity to discuss trauma, the nervous system, changes in the industry over time, and the positive outcomes countless people have experienced. Secondly, it gives us the opportunity to make strides in our own practices to help even more people. Let’s tackle this timely topic. “The freedom and the open space in the coaching field means more creativity in how we can be effective and serve our clients… to be able to truly create something unique and powerful.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Value in being unregulated Lack of education results Draw from other industry ethics and standards Prepare for trauma responses Work toward a higher level of service Not a unicorn business Contact Info and Recommended Resources Watch for a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from Molly on Friday, October 6, 2023 regarding an amazing offering coming in 2024!

A powerful cause for change: An Interview with Karla Hernandez and Gerald Ericksen

Creating space for speaking up and speaking out about sexual assault and proper justice is so needed. People of all backgrounds and experiences have been affected by sexual assault, whether personally as a victim or relationally as the friend or loved one of a victim. To talk about this sensitive topic, I interviewed Karla Hernandez and Gerald Ericksen, the driving forces behind VIVO Alliance. Karla is a recent sexual assault survivor, and her husband, Gerald, has walked with her through the lingering trauma both of the assault as well as the lack of justice for victims such as herself. I hope this episode inspires and empowers you to speak up and speak out for needed change in our world. “Not getting it [justice] kind of leaves you in a state of feeling like you’re frozen in time.” – Karla Hernandez What You’ll Learn Relearning how to navigate life Additional trauma of injustice Speaking up despite threats Advocating for proper victim rights Spreading understanding to empower change Courage to tell your story You are not alone Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Karla Hernandez Karla Hernandez, the driving force behind VIVO Alliance, is a recent survivor of sexual assault. Because of her experience not only with the trauma from the incident, but the further trauma from futile efforts to deal with the Puerto Rican justice system, she decided to make it her mission to shine a light on this problem and help lead a new approach to addressing it. Through VIVO Alliance, Karla is on a quest to press for government accountability, advocate for victim’s rights and recovery, and build a community of hope and healing for survivors who have gone through these kinds of ordeals. Karla was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and is fluent in English as well as her native language, Spanish. She has worked in high-end health and wellness services, event planning and management, and PR strategy. A common thread in her work experience is her strength as a communicator and team builder. In her free time, Karla loves going on outdoor adventures with her husband and their German Shepherd, training in mixed martial arts for self-defense, traveling and going on road trips, and hosting gatherings for family and friends.
