A Quiet But Mighty Launch (The Sold Out Group You Never Heard About)

So much of what I do is behind the scenes and private - and sometimes I forget to share about it. But, if I don't share what I do, you don't see it, which may mean you don't know what's possible for YOU. I recently sold out a small group a month before it started... without doing any marketing at all. It was exciting and it's definitely not where I started.  So, in this episode, I pull out all the wisdom I can and share it - in case it's helpful.  There are 5 main reasons I think this happened and I get into all of them here. Listen. Enjoy. Take what's useful. And, let me know what comes up. I'd love to hear it! ----- When you're ready, there are 3 ways you can work with me: THE COURSE: A self-guided, online training program for coaches that will help you love your business, create profit, get clarity on next steps, and add fun to your business.

Part 3: Space Holding and Powerful Questions

I recently asked my coaching clients for feedback, and one of the #1 things I heard was that they love my energy! At first, I thought, "Dang. I can't teach you that." But then, I realized I actually could. My energy is based on the beliefs I walk around with - and they determine how I show up in the world. 2 of the things that are integral to my coaching process are holding space really well and asking powerful questions. In this episode, I dive into what that actually means and what that looks like for me. I hope you'll listen in. "Holding space is the canvas. And, powerful questions are the tools we have to make art." ----- If you want to learn more about my favorite coaching styles, beliefs, and modalities, join me for a Coaching Workshop for Coaches on Thursday, September 22nd at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET. We'll take 90 minutes and get into ALL the things, including a time for Q+A and workshopping together.

Part 2: Trust and Transparency

I recently asked my coaching clients for feedback, and one of the #1 things I heard was that they love my energy! At first, I thought, "Dang. I can't teach you that." But then, I realized I actually could. My energy is based on the beliefs I walk around with - and they determine how I show up in the world. 2 of my greatest beliefs are trust and transparency. In this episode, I dive into what that actually means and what that looks like for me. I hope you'll listen in. "Self-trust is really important for growth. This is an invitation to more of it. Where can you lean in? Where can you welcome more trust?" "The more transparent my business has gotten, the more fulfilled I am. And, it's fun. It's fun to be wide open!" "And, these two things are connected. Transparency leads to more trustworthiness." ----- If you want to learn more about my favorite coaching styles, beliefs, and modalities, join me for a Coaching Workshop for Coaches on Thursday, September 22nd at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET.

Part 1: Be Agile, Do Things Your Way, and Have Fun

I recently asked my coaching clients for feedback, and one of the #1 things I heard was that they love my energy!  At first, I thought, "Dang. I can't teach you that." But then, I realized I actually could. My energy is based on the beliefs I walk around with - and they determine how I show up in the world. 3 of my greatest beliefs are to be agile, to do life and business your way, and to have fun. Those three things are present in everything that I do.  In this episode, I dive into what that actually means and what that looks like for me. I hope you'll listen in. But, regardless, here's a quick tip... Any time you want to pick up on someone's energy, pay attention to what they say, how they show up, and what they're doing - that will tell you a lot about their beliefs and maybe even some of your own. And, if you want to learn more about my favorite coaching styles, beliefs, and modalities, join me for a Coaching Workshop for Coaches on Thursday, September 22nd at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET. We'll take 90 minutes and get into ALL the things, including a time for Q+A and workshopping together.

Do It YOUR Way

Today, the tables are turned and I'm sharing a recent conversation from Jill Wright's podcast, where she interviews me - about doing business YOUR way (one of my favorite topics)! We get into: - "Releasing the Drag" (in life and business) - How there is no such thing as a "problem" human - The influence of identity and values on business building - Discernment, guardrails, achieving goals... and so much more. Let's unhook society's idea of who we are, how it "should" be done, etc., and do it our way. You in?!

Compassion & Embodiment

In this episode, Embodied Eating Coach, Chanci Dawn talks to us about sticking with ourselves and embracing curiosity instead of judgment. "We are so loved. We are so, so precious.

Beautiful Death

Today's episode of the podcast is an important one. I sat down with my friend, Yoga Teacher and Death Doula, Brie Huling to talk about death and how it can actually be quite beautiful. I tell her, as we're chatting, "when I think of you, I fondly think of death" - and I meant it! There's a lot about death in mainstream culture that gets in our way. First and foremost, the taboo around even talking about it. So, I'd encourage you to suspend whatever thoughts and feelings you might be having right now and join the conversation with an open mind. Then, ask yourself: What would it be like to plan for a beautiful death (whether that's for you or in supporting someone else)? As an added bonus, Brie says, "in centering around death, we get to really anchor into the beauty of living." And, who doesn't want that? Let's normalize the not-knowing and discomfort, let's change how we think about and view death. This conversation is step one. I hope you'll join us! ----- Learn more about Brie and her work by connecting on Instagram (@bumblebriezer) or visiting www.yogawithbriezer.com.
