The Thriving Coaches Podcast

My friend Jonathan Armes at Capital Shift invited me to have a conversation exploring the topic of “Transforming Setbacks into Success” and he’s given me permission to share the full recording with you.  We took a deep dive into something that affects us all: how we deal with setbacks in life and work, and what changes when we really understand how our mind works.   So whether you're facing a challenge right now or want to support someone who is (friend, client, colleague or loved one), this was created with you in mind.  Here’s some of what we covered:   - Why obstacles are often just stepping stones—raw material for your transformation.   - Why insight beats positive thinking every time (real breakthroughs come from fresh perspectives, not just pushing harder).  - How to break free from victimhood, remember who you really are, and move through setbacks with more freedom and flow.    Tons of love,   Jamie  🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact?

On Monday, I hosted a masterclass called Speaking Behind the Mask, and it was incredible to see how much this resonated with people.

This week, I’m sharing a reflection on a topic that’s fascinated me for a long time: vision, purpose, and the question of goals. Once we come into contact with the principles understanding, many of us discover that happiness isn’t tied to achieving goals, and this realization can be incredibly freeing.  But sometimes, we risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater, thinking that if life doesn’t need to look a certain way for us to be okay, then goals don’t matter at all. It turns out that (as with most things) there are subtleties at play here. In this session, I explore: Why your dreams, heart’s desires, and creative impulses are a vital expression of life itself. How honoring your purpose and collaborating with life can lead to clarity and direction in surprising ways. A recent breakthrough my team and I had when we reconnected with the wisdom and intelligence within us—and how it’s shaping our work. It turns out that when it comes to the goals that are deeply aligned with who you most truly are and what you’re most inspired to create, there’s a perspective that can be profoundly helpful. That’s what we explore here: I hope it sparks fresh insights into how you approach your own vision, purpose, and goals. Tons of love, Jamie  

Dive into an exploration of innate health and well-being, challenging the skeptics with personal insights. Discover how profound realizations can shift our alignment with reality, offering solutions that lie within ourselves. A compelling coaching story illustrates the transformative power of changing perceptions, and the discussion emphasizes that principles of clarity and resilience stand strong against scrutiny. The journey encourages listeners to test these foundational truths and witness their own insights emerge.

You’ve probably heard me say this before:  the two most important things a person can realize are: How your experience is created Who you really are During a recent event, “Get Unstuck and On-Track,” I shared how these insights apply directly to breaking free from feeling stuck and moving forward with clarity. Why misunderstandings about where your experience comes from keep you stuck. How reconnecting to who you really are can bring the clarity, freedom, and ease to get back on track. A simple yet powerful formula for unsticking yourself (it’s easier than you might think). If you’ve ever felt like something is holding you back - whether it’s in your work, relationships, or life - this episode will give you a fresh perspective that can make all the difference. Tons of love, Jamie PS - Thanks to Roberto Talarico for organizing this online event!  

I hope the new year is off to a wonderful start for you. This week, I’m sharing a coaching demo where Roberto opens up about a challenge many of us face: feeling disconnected in relationships and life. In this session, we explored: Why the experience of connection comes and goes What you can rely on that’s deeper and *always* present How resisting the feeling of disconnection can actually give it power The surprising insight that shifted Roberto’s perspective—and might shift yours, too If you’ve ever felt “out of connection” and judged yourself for it, this clip is a powerful reminder that both connection and disconnection are valuable signals. ---  🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact?

This week, I’m sharing a powerful coaching demo from one of my group sessions that explores a challenge so many of us face: bringing our work into the world. In this clip, Tracey—a coach and author—shares her struggle with launching her book. Despite having written it, she feels stuck, held back by doubts like “Does the world need another book?” and fears about what might happen once it’s out there. What unfolded during our conversation reveals something essential for anyone wanting to share their gifts with the world: The connection between our fears and the very gifts we’re called to share. What to align with so you can unlock the energy to move forward. I also share one of my favorite poems that captures the essence of why your work matters. If you’ve ever hesitated to put yourself out there, I think you’ll find this episode relatable—and inspiring. I hope this demo reminds you that the world does need your gifts - and you have everything you need to share them. 🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact? Take Jamie Smart’s free 12-min assessment to gain clarity, enroll clients, and maximize your impact. https://www.jamiesmart.com/scorecard
