If you want to be a super mom coach you're going to have to be a little less supermom. How's that for a contradiction? Building a life coaching business is not for the faint of heart.

When you hear the word life coach you can't help but immediately think - well someone's got their life together so much so they can coach others to do as they do. First of all, life coaches don't strive for perfection. And second of all, their coaching business is far from perfect too. So don't let the assumption that things need to be just so to start on the path of becoming a coach stop you from taking that very exciting first step.

Birthing a coaching business is just like birthing a kid. Don't believe me? Check out these quotes from the Godmother of Midwives herself - Ina May Gaskin.

The venue was in the basement of a church just a short walk from our house. Which was wild because nothing ever happened in our neighbourhood. And...

When I was first considering becoming a coach it felt like playing dress up. Which makes sense, because the first step to any great dream is the day bit: daydream. It's all...

One of the perks of working as a mom coach is you get to work wherever you mom. This means you find yourself working from home most of the time. Close to your creature comforts. But sometimes, this perk of getting to work wherever our loved ones are can be a double-edged sword. All a little too close for comfort. Creature or otherwise. So like Lenny Kravitz says, sometimes you got to get away. Today I'm going to share with you my practice of taking a mom-only work retreat once a quarter and how ...
