The number one key rule to being a successful coach is: winners don’t quit. But how do you continue to show up during the times that you’re not motivated or you’re feeling some self doubt?In this episode, I take you inside my own self-coaching session, where I uncovered a sneaky mindset block that was holding me back from fully showing up in my business. After spending nearly a year restructuring my business, I found myself hesitating to sell again, not because I didn’t know how, but because unintentional thoughts were creating self-doubt. Realizing this, I created the SHIFT Method, a simple framework designed to help you overcome fear, take consistent action, and build the habits that lead to long-term success.Self-doubt is something we all experience as coaches, especially when we step into new territory. So if you ever find yourself feeling that antsy uncertainty again, the SHIFT Method can help you move through it.

 Is it possible to sell your coaching WITHOUT social media?The answer is a resounding YES! In this episode, I dive into the often-overlooked strategies for marketing your coaching business beyond Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok. While social media can be a powerful tool, the reality is that these platforms are borrowed spaces—we don’t own them, and if they disappeared tomorrow, so would our audience. That’s why it’s essential to build a marketing strategy that stands the test of time.  I’ll share practical ways to attract clients offline, from leveraging speaking opportunities to growing through referrals and word-of-mouth. These are the same strategies that helped me bring in clients long before social media or even Google existed, and they’re just as effective today.  So whether you’re an introvert, new to coaching, or simply looking for alternative ways to market your business, this episode will give you fresh inspiration and actionable steps. Tune in now and start building a coaching business that thrives—social media or not!👉Ready to get supported in your Coaching Business?
