How to Find & Refine Your Coaching Niche
Aug 22 2022
How to Find & Refine Your Coaching Niche
The word that most new (and existing!) coaches and business owners fear... 'niche'!  I remember when I started my business, I hated the thought of having to find a niche. I was qualified and experienced in helping a wide variety of people, no matter their goals. I couldn't see how excluding certain groups could possibly help me get more clients as a coach. What about all of that earning potential I was missing out on!? Well, the real truth is this: When you speak to everyone, you speak to no one. I have worked with so many clients over the years who share this fear. They feel afraid to niche down and commit to a group in case they're 'wrong' or cap their earning potential. The truth is that a niche allows you to dig deep, dive into quality over quantity, and let your community feel truly seen and heard - both implicitly and explicitly. In this episode, I share with you the reasons why you DO need a niche, some prompts to discover yours, and my greatest tip that I can offer at the end of the episode. Grab a notebook because I'm taking you through some actionable questions today so you can leave with something tangible to work with.

How to Cultivate Feminine Energy
*NOTE: There were some issues editing this podcast, so there seem to be parts which sound as though the sentences end too soon. Not sure what went wrong, but wanted to let you know that we are aware of it!* Ah, the divine feminine. A beautiful, nurturing, flowy elements to our being. BUT, one of the biggest problems I come across is that my clients struggle to embrace their feminine due to either not knowing WHAT it is and HOW to do it, alongside societal norms which push the validation of feminine energy out of the window.  In this episode, I share with you what the feminine is, why you may be feeling resistant, and simple strategies to slowly but surely start to embrace that gorgeous feminine side that sits within you.
