Ep. 121 - Doing Everything “Right” And Still Not Getting Anywhere? | Behind The Scenes

In this conversation, you'll hear Kelly and I speak on how we can be doing everything to grow our businesses and get more clients on an external level… but if we unconsciously FEAR our business goals more than we want them, we’re going to find ourselves blocked from achieving the growth we desire. Be prepared to be led through an exercise that can help you uncover where you're pressing the breaks internally, which may be causing you to expend a lot of energy, but not get you to where you ulti...

Ep. 120 - Doubting If You'll Ever Really Feel Ready To Coach "This" Deep?

We spend a lot of time talking about the ways in which we're holding our clients on a deeper level. We talk about how to navigate really difficult conversations when we're pulling emotion to the surface and moments that they're feeling triggered or resistant...or there's friction in the room...or they're afraid of change...or afraid of success. We talk about a lot of strategies, tools and perspectives that we need to adopt in order to be able to hold them in the ways that we desire. But ...

Ep. 119 - Marketing As A Heart-Centered Coach | Behind The Scenes

In this episode, you'll hear me lead one of my students through a few 'untraditional' strategies in building trust and intimacy through her marketing. We are so conditioned to rush the journey of our prospects and clients - but what if alignment meant taking things slow, building closer relationships, and allowing people to decide what's best for them...without us trying to force it. I hope you gain a few of your own ideas from this conversation. The possibilities for heart-centered coaches i...

Ep. 118 - Using Creation As A Gateway To Your Growth

When we hold our message back from being heard just because it isn't fully formed or refined, we're missing a major opportunity to lean into our next edge. This 'messy' stage is one of the most beautiful parts of your journey as a coach...and it never fully leaves you. & when you begin to speak into your current experience and allow that experience to lead your conversations, your creation unfolds as a part of your evolution. The truth is, the fastest way to evolve as a coach is to s...

Ep. 117 - Finding The Courage To Evolve & Allow | Behind The Scenes

This month our monthly members-only workshop inside TSG was based around the bravery we've seen within our community...and in this clip in particular Laura leads us through what it feels like to truly evolve and allowing our most courageous selves to lead the way, while recognizing that every micro-moment is what lays the foundation of our success (in life and in business). ---A few beautiful ways to continue journeying with me: ☁️ Read Softer, my free weekly-ish newsletter💌 Email me if ...

Ep. 116 - Shifting Your Business From Strategic to Intuitive with Jerry-Ann

Today on the show, I'm thrilled to introduce you to one of my students, Jerry-Ann. She is a Secret Garden Founding Member & is here to speak into what she's learned around the power of using her intuition as a guiding force in the decisions that she makes in her business....We've moved through so much together over the last six months, and one of the most profound shifts that she has moved through is her ability to hold space for herself to allow inspiration to flow through her rather tha...

Ep. 115 - Are You Burned Out...Or Are You Unaligned In Your Business? | Behind The Scenes

This week our weekly TSG coaching call was based around the responsibility we often feel in leading our clients to their goals and how that feeling can often be confused with burn-out. As you listen to this episode, consider - how might your desire to support be energetically draining you? What tools may be available for you to trust that you can hold space for them, and for yourself? What would alignment in your business actually feel like (outside of what you feel you're supposed to do?)---...

Ep. 114 - How To Shift A Client Mid-Package To Focus On The "Deeper Stuff"

As you open yourself up to working with your clients in a deeper way, there's this messy middle zone where you'll have a handful of clients who linked arms with you when you were only working with people on weight loss...when you were only talking about the very external, very tangible pieces of a client's journey. Things like protein intake, or adherence strategies, or very surface level habit change protocols. I want to invite you into a different kind of conversation. A conversation that i...

Ep. 113 - When A Client Isn't Seeing Their Progress | Behind The Scenes

In this session, we discussed falling into “prove it” mode by listing all of the things a client has changed or shifted (even if it's not physical) as a reaction to the insecurity we feel around a client being disappointed in the work they're doing with us. How can we better meet our clients in these moments so they feel safe and seen by us, and where should we navigate the conversation from that place? ---A few beautiful ways to continue journeying with me: ☁️ Read Softer, my free ...

Ep. 112 - Stop Sacrificing Your Evolution For The Illusion Of Certainty

The moment you can stop gripping onto what you create as if it is a direct extension of who you are...is the moment you free yourself to evolve into the next version of you and allow in a new depth, potency and speed to a creative process that mirrors that evolution. In this episode I share my own multi-layered evolution and the lessons I learned every time I chose to release something I had poured my heart into...and eventually outgrew. I also share where coaches get stuck blocking thei...

Ep. 109 - The Magic Of The Secret Garden | Student Spotlight

I am so excited to be bringing you this special episode of EXPAND where I hold a free-flowing, real conversation with one of my students and close friends, Kristine. 1 year ago, she found herself in a place of wanting to grow her business rapidly, create financial freedom and feel the success that other coaches seemed to be having online. She was on the fast-track to building her business in someone else's image...and quickly found that she was burned out and struggling to keep up with the on...

Ep. 108 - What If You Were Meant To Lead Your Clients Through Something Other Than Weight-Loss?

What if you didn't have to be the one to help every client lose weight? What if there was an intangible journey you got to take them on that ended up being 'the thing' they needed all along? In this episode, I guide you through understanding that creating breakthroughs doesn't mean knowing the perfect questions, or the exact 'right' thing to say when someone is feeling emotional. I hope this episode opens your eyes to the other opportunities you hold as you guide your clients' on their j...

Ep. 106 - Taking Up Space & Asking For What You Need

Have you ever found yourself in a client session where it feels like every problem they're experiencing is being pushed onto you? These moments can feel heavy, they can feel triggering, and they can bring up emotions that you don't necessarily want to feel...In this episode, I'm going to lead you through why it's not up to your client to hold back, it's up to you to direct. It's up to you to know where you want to guide them. And the only way you learn how to guide them is by experimenting.&...

Ep. 105 - What To Do When A Client Isn't Satisfied With Their Journey | Behind The Scenes

What happens when you get a text from a client that says, "I'm not happy with the work we've been doing together..." OOF. Immediate panic. These moments can feel unbelievably triggering as a heart-centered coach...but in reality, receiving feedback like this is an incredible opportunity. The truth is, our clients don't always feel safe to share their concerns. Or, they're not aware they have concerns until the results they're receiving don't match their original expectations. In thi...

And in doing so, I'm making a new promise to you...a promise to be forthcoming and transparent about my current experiences of life...and business...and all of the emotional turbulence I so often feel but so rarely share.

Ep. 102 - The Power Of A Like, Love, Hate List | Ask & Ascend Masterclass

In today's episode, I'm bringing you one of my all-time favorite tools...I call it a Love, Like, Hate list. I've used this over, and over, and over again in my own business (and I know you'll find value in using it within yours). The best thing about this tool is that it's not about the tasks, it's about how the tasks make you feel. Are you uplifted, inspired, and energized when you think about creating a public Facebook Group? Or, are you doing it because everyone else is? This conversation ...

Ep. 101 - Do You Need a Strategy...or Do You Need Yourself?

It's become a right of passage to hire a mentor as early as possible in your career. And with the limitless number of them available, it's also become pretty easy to find one that feels somewhat aligned with a strategy that's "proven" by all the coaches who came before you. The trouble is...when we outsource our intuition...our desires...and our direction to someone else BEFORE we even have the chance to know for ourselves what feels good for us?We accidentally end up silencing the truest par...

Ep. 099 - Cultivating An Unwavering Self-Belief Practice

We make ourselves feel like self-belief is unreachable in the moments we're gripped by fear and doubt. But when we move into a practice of duality where we accept and allow fear to be balanced by belief...instead of requiring fear to absent for belief to feel possible...we unlock a new layer of trust available to us in every moment. The trust that we can feel safe to hold more than one emotion at the same time AND consciously choose for ourselves moment by moment which part of us gets to take...

Ep. 096 - Compassionately Calling Clients Out On Their BS | Behind The Scenes

Compassionately calling someone on their sh*t is an artform that requires two key ingredients: the first? >> You must be willing to hold them in a massively triggering moment without attaching to their reaction or making it mean anything about you...and the second? >> You must be able and willing to create a safe space for them to enter into with you and express through without the fear of being judged, shamed or fixed. In this episode we explore the art of calling someone out and...

I realized just how much more work I actually have to do to get on his level. He completely blew my mind when it came to his depth of wisdom and experience in his intentionality around building a business based entirely on his ability to make people feel deeply seen and supported by him...especially before any money exchanges hands.

In this "Best Of" episode, Dr. Krista Scott Dixon joins me in a discussion around working with complicated clients who......don't always do what we say...struggle with even the smallest of tasks...want faster progress...don't prioritize the mindset work you give them...and struggle to open up about their thoughts and feelings (even when you ask incredible questions)....and how very important it is for us to equip ourselves with the skills to be abl...
