EP 303 - Mindset for Coaches in 2026 with Shannon Beardsmore
Mindset for coaches in 2026 matters because it directly affects how strategy is carried out day to day. You can have a solid plan, clear steps, and the right support, but if mindset isn’t aligned, follow-through breaks down in subtle ways. In this New Year’s episode, I’m joined by Shannon Beardsmore from House of Manifestation to talk about how mindset and strategy work together, not separately, and why that combination changes how you show up in your business.This conversation focuses on the real places mindset shows up: the language you use with yourself, the decisions you hesitate to make, and the environments and people that influence what feels possible for your coaching business. We talk about why mindset issues often don’t look dramatic, they show up as self-talk, second-guessing, or quietly playing small, even when the strategy itself is sound.Shannon is a facilitator inside House of Manifestation, a global virtual community centered on personal growth, identity work, and aligned action. Her work helps people become more aware of how mindset, language, and environment shape behavior over time. I’m a member myself, and I wanted to bring her into this conversation to explore how mindset supports practical strategy in a grounded, sustainable way.This episode isn’t about positive thinking or manifesting without action. It’s about understanding how mindset influences execution, why who you surround yourself with matters, and how becoming more intentional about identity and language can support consistency and momentum as you build your coaching business.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Why mindset for coaches in 2026 affects how consistently strategy is applied- How language, identity, and environment influence follow-through- Why mindset issues often show up quietly in decision-making- How strategy becomes easier to execute when mindset and support are alignedIf you’re curious to learn more about HOM, click here to join using my link.Connect with Shannon: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonb.ca/ Connect with Debbie:Website: https://www.debbieshadid.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/debbieshadid/YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCz6RS8kQGMLJqJrK9uKdjtg/ Disclaimer: Some of the links shared in this description are affiliate links.

Selling coaching feels hard for many coaches, and in this episode I explain the real reason why selling your coaching feels so uncomfortable or hard.
