Coaching is an incredible way to impart your wisdom and impact people's lives, but how do we consistently get clients without making our lives more stressful?

If we want to build a coaching business that reaches the six-figure mark, we have to create a refined toolkit that gets specific results. On top of that, we don't want to be the best kept secret, we want to be known, and bring in people excited to work with us.

How do you become a good coach, find clients you get the best results for, and nurture your leads to a sale?

In this episode, I share 8 things that will help us build and grow a life-changing coaching business.

Things You'll Learn in This Episode

How to multiply your impact by building a system How do you build your coaching toolkit so your big beautiful brain is free to create deeper connections and results?

Why you need to share your opinions like crazy People hire coaches they believe in. Why does sharing our opinions set us apart and get people excited about working with us?

How do we age gracefully while accomplishing everything we want? May 20, 2021

Show notes

Turning 40 is a huge milestone and a birthday that feels different from other ones. A pivotal birthday brings up so many feelings - fear, excitement, anticipation, joy, apprehension, and tons of questions about what getting older means to us.

The older we get, the more we see how much we've lived, and how much more we still have to experience if we choose to stay young at heart and young in mind.

How do we age gracefully, on our terms, and continue to strive towards being the best version of ourselves?

In this very special episode of the Boss Mom podcast, I share my thoughts and feelings about getting older, as I count down to my 40th birthday.

Three Things You'll Learn in This Episode

How to age on your terms We can be anything we want to be, at any age, Look at what you want to accomplish, without wondering whether you should, whether you should have already done it, or if you're too old to do it.

Why our age shouldn't limit what we can accomplish Aging doesn't mean doing or trying less. We have the opportunity to become the best version of ourselves by staying in constant curiosity, and continually striving for new thoughts, ideas, and skills.

How to shift your mindset about getting older Our age doesn't have to be something that happens to us, or something bad. It's something we should wear proudly because we've earned every wrinkle, line, experience, and every ounce of our wisdom.

Positive Parenting Benefits the Whole Family w/Shari Medini May 13, 2021

Show notes

As moms, we know how unpredictable life can be, so it's normal to have some bad days. However, they should always be in the minority, and if they aren't, it may be time to take a look at our parenting strategies.

Could our present approach be making us more susceptible to an endless cycle of 'off' days? Where are we going wrong?

Can we switch it up so the good days outnumber the bad?

In this episode, co-author of Parenting While Working from Home and co-owner of AdoreThemParenting.com, Shari Medini shares how to implement positive parenting.

3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode

Why we need to be mindful of what we're taking in Parenting isn't always glamorous, and that's what makes cynically funny blogs so relatable. However, while it's important to validate our experiences, getting too caught up in the negatives will only add to our frustrations, so we have to remind ourselves of the good, too.

How to create a more positive dynamic with our kids 'Because I said so' is often a go-to response when our kids question us, but it's not the most conducive to their learning. By explaining to our children why they need to do something, we can open up a conversation, rather than issue commands.

Why positive parenting isn't lax parenting Positive parenting isn't about giving our kids free rein to do whatever they want: in fact, it's a way to give them more responsibility, while setting boundaries. This gives them the space to make their own decisions with our guidance, instead of our micromanagement.

Heal from Your Past and Break the Cycle of Trauma w/Amelia Mora Mars May 06, 2021

Show notes

We often hear that time heals all wounds, but unfortunately, that isn't always the case. Trauma is tricky, and if we aren't dealing with it head on, we run the risk of reliving our darkest days, or worse: passing them on to our kids.

How can we get started with the process of healing our scars, so we can prevent them from festering in other areas of our lives? Is there a way to cure our trauma for good, so it stops controlling us?

In this episode, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of MomConnections, Amelia Mora Mars shares the steps we can take to stop letting our past control our present and define our future.

Three Things You'll Learn in This Episode

How to recognize the lies we tell ourselvesMany of us tell ourselves we're too busy to sit with our thoughts and really feel them, but that's just not true. Slowing down to listen to our inner voices is uncomfortable, but it's also completely necessary.

Why forgiveness is about us, first and foremostHating a person for their actions towards us may feel like it's hurting them, but it hurts us more.

When to shift our focus withinBad experiences throughout our lives can put us into constant survival mode, and that's exhausting. How do we start focusing on what's best for ourselves and our mental health?

How to Run Flash Sales to Grow Your Business Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

Running flash sales is a great way to bring in a ton of revenue, so it's something all Boss Moms should consider adding to their business models. Where do we start, and is there a right way to do it?

In times like these, when so many people are uncertain about their financial futures, our best bet is to limit our flash sales to lower-priced items. The only question is, how big can our results be from small sales?

Can sales on low-priced items translate to something bigger?

In this episode, I share why flash sales are the method used by millionaires.

Three Things You'll Learn in This Episode

Why we should never discount the power of a low-priced productFlash sales on smaller products don't always sound exciting, but the results can be incredible. Charging between $27 and $47 for something small but useful creates an 'easy yes' for customers, and can quickly translate into $10,000 in just one day.

How to add an upsell to 'easy yes' products Our customers may be on our websites for a sale, but that doesn't mean they won't be interested in other, similar products. Link relevant items on the checkout page and suggest them as add-ons.

How to ensure an 'easy yes' really is easyA lower price point makes it easy for customers to agree to, but a complicated product will keep them thinking twice. Make sure 'easy yes' products offer simple solutions to very specific problems, like gaining 15 more Instagram followers or making 5 additional sales.

How to Rekindle Intimacy and Connect With Your Partner w/Leona Carter Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

Intimacy is an incredibly important part of any relationship because it helps us relate to our loved ones. However, getting that intimacy right isn't always easy.

For many women, intimacy comes with challenges, and many of those stem from not understanding what our loved ones need from us, or what we need from them. Real intimacy takes work, but it's worth it. The only question is, where do we start?

How can we get better at connecting with our significant others when it feels like we're just not in sync? Is it possible to completely connect when we have so much going on in our lives already?

In this episode, best-selling author, speaker, and intimacy coach, Leona Carter shares how to foster deeper connections with our partners.

Three Things You'll Learn in This Episode

Why intimacy is something we have to work towards By the time both we and our partners have come home from work, we've spent hours apart, so we shouldn't expect to be in the mood as soon as we walk through the door. Especially as women, we have to feel connected to our partners, so start by having a conversation and connecting.
How to get into the right headspace for intimacy It's tough to be present when just a minute ago we were getting the kids to bed or hopping off a business call. Instead of heading right into the bedroom with our partner, it's a good idea to take a moment to re-center and feel like ourselves, outside of being business owners and moms.
The importance of communication Most of us are guilty of thinking our partner should know what we want or need, but that just isn't the case. We have to get better at expressing ourselves, and if we're still finding that challenging, seek the help of a coach!

Understanding Codependency: How to Love without Losing Yourself w/Michelle Farris Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

Setting boundaries is a huge part of taking control of our lives, but doing that can be ridiculously difficult if we're codependent. The only problem is, many of us don't know if we fall into that category or not.

Despite codependence being a buzzword we're hearing a lot at the moment, many of us are still unsure about what exactly codependency is. So, what is it?

Could we be codependent without realizing it? Is there anything we can do to break the cycle of people-pleasing for good if we know we're in the habit?

In this episode, psychotherapist Michelle Farris shares the tell-tale signs of codependency and what to do about it!

Three Things You'll Learn in This Episode

What codependency means At its core, codependency is a relationship pattern where we focus on other people's best interests at our own expense. While it's perfectly normal to make sacrifices for loved ones from time to time, with codependency it becomes the rule, rather than the exception.
How to tell the difference between being helpful and being codependent There will always be times we don't feel like doing something, but when we really don't want to, we'll feel it in our gut. If we're ignoring our intuition because we're worried about someone else's reaction (and if we're doing it repeatedly) we're not just being helpful, we're breaking our boundaries.
Why codependency breeds resentment When we set unrealistic expectations of people-pleasing for ourselves, we start believing the people around us should be acting the same way without ever communicating that to them. This only leads to bitterness in the long term, and it could all be avoided in the first place.

Guest Bio-

Michelle Farris is a licensed psychotherapist in San Jose California. In her private practice Michelle found her sweet spot in teaching relationship skills that are easy to implement fast. She believes that being a good therapist means doing your own work. Her guilty pleasure is a Venti latte from Starbucks!
