In Episode 158 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we’re kicking off Day 1 of the Six-Figure Summer Business School with some tough love and straight-up truth: if you’re getting clients but still not hitting consistent $10K months… something’s off. You’re working your butt off, the clients are coming in—but that next-level income? Still out of reach. Let’s talk about it.

Because it’s not just about what you sell—it’s about how you sell it, how you show up, and the energy you bring.

If you’re tired of inconsistent months, tired of hearing “I can’t afford it,” and ready to step into main-character energy in your business, this episode is your glow-up plan. We’re not playing small this summer—let’s build that six-figure brand, one fire vibe at a time.

3) Personal Brand: The Energy of Your Business [10:37 - 16:45]

-How brand personality, visuals, and vibe impact buyer trust

4) Positioning: Where You Sit in the Market [16:46 - 23:30]

-What separates a $300 coach from a $3,000 coach (hint: not the results)

-Why competing on price is keeping you small—and broke

5) Breaking the “People Won’t Pay That” Lie [23:31 - End]

-How your beliefs around pricing are influencing your sales strategy

-A reminder that you get to choose your value—and the right people will match it

4) Podcasting: The Easiest Way to Convert [25:22 - 34:13]
-Why podcasting is the queen of nurturing and why it works so dang well.
-How to use episodes as evergreen sales tools and binge-worthy content.

5) Facebook: The High-Converting Hot Mess [34:14 - 40:04]

6) Where You Should Focus in 2025 [40:05 - End]
-Why Instagram + Podcast is the ultimate duo for most online coaches.
-When to layer in TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook based on your bandwidth and business goals.

Feeling Like a Fraud? Let’s Talk About Imposter Syndrome as a New Coach Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we’re diving deep into one of the most common (and paralyzing) struggles coaches face: imposter syndrome. Whether you’re just getting started in your coaching business or scaling to your next level, that nagging feeling of “Who am I to do this?” can sneak in and hold you back big time. And in this episode, we’re calling it out—and showing you how to move through it.

We’re unpacking why imposter syndrome shows up (especially when you’re new or leveling up), what it’s actually trying to tell you, and the biggest lies it convinces you to believe. From comparing yourself to other coaches, to the fear of not knowing enough, to feeling like you have to be perfect to be qualified—we’re tackling it all. Spoiler alert: the fact that you’re worried about being a good coach is actually proof that you already care more than most.

If imposter syndrome has been stopping you from pitching, posting, launching, or fully owning your role as a coach, this episode is here to give you the kick in the leggings you need to take action—scared or not.

In this episode, we cover:

1) The Perfectionism Trap & Why This Episode Almost Didn’t Happen [0:00 - 2:41]

- How starting over multiple times reinforced the need to ditch perfectionism.

- Why messy action beats overthinking every time.

2) What Imposter Syndrome Really Is (and Who Gets It Most) [2:42 - 7:26]

- How even seasoned coaches question themselves sometimes.

3) The Real Roots of Imposter Syndrome [7:27 - 13:02]

- Lack of proof, comparison to others, and fear of being judged or letting someone down.

- Why “being a few steps ahead” is more than enough to be a great coach.

4) Busting the Myth of Being Perfect to Be Qualified [13:03 - 17:49]

- Why your clients don’t need you to be flawless—they need you to be real and caring.

- The “coffee shop coach test” that proves you *do* know enough to help someone.

5) The Confidence Loop (And Why Thinking More Doesn’t Help) [17:50 - 22:43]

- Confidence doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from doing.

- Why taking messy action is the only way to become the coach you want to be.

6) Trusting Yourself to Handle It (Even If You’re Not Ready) [22:44 - End]

- The truth about readiness and why it’s a myth.

- How to move through fear, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome by taking action anyway.
