Hello friends! I'm thrilled to bring you this spontaneous episode - we planned it this morning and hit record this afternoon because when inspiration strikes, you go with it!

I'm joined by the wonderful Nici to discuss my upcoming life coach certification program and what led her to join the inaugural group. If you've been considering life coaching, questioning whether certification is necessary, or want to understand what becoming a transformational coach actually involves - you're in the right place.

Episode Highlights

Why Now? The Vision Behind This Program

• My motivation for creating this certification (hint: it's the program I needed when I started)
• Three pathways for life coaches: full-time practice, side income, or ministry enhancement
• Building a legacy by equipping coaches who'll reach people I never could

What Sets This Program Apart

• Personal one-on-one coaching sessions with me across 6 months
• Bi-monthly small group calls (90-120 minutes each)
• Buddy coaching with recorded sessions that I review and provide feedback on
• Ready-to-use laminated frameworks and worksheets for client sessions
• A comprehensive experience combining certification, mentorship, transformation, and business development

Nici opens up about her path from emotional exhaustion to self-care through the Feel Better Journey, including:

• Why individual attention and mentorship mattered in her choice
• Working through concerns about investment and timing
• The concept of serving from fullness rather than depletion
• How this represents legacy-building for her as well

Program Overview

Timeline: 6 months

Includes:

• 6 individual coaching sessions with me
• Twice-monthly group sessions (90-120 minutes)
• Buddy coaching with personalized feedback
• Laminated coaching frameworks and materials
• Proven client programs available (optional to use)

Ideal For:

Hi! If you've been feeling that pull toward something more, like maybe God's been whispering about using your story to help others… Oh friend, this one's for you.

I'm officially launching something I've been dreaming about for YEARS: a Life Coach Certification and Training Program—and I want to tell you all about it.

Why I'm finally doing this (and how this dream went from "too big for me" to "okay God, I trust You")

What makes a phenomenal life coach (spoiler: it's all about asking really good questions that help people find their own answers)

How life coaching changed MY life first before I ever helped anyone else—these tools transformed my own healing journey

Why your story matters and how it's meant for His glory, not your shame

The "why not you?" question that shifted everything for me (your past doesn't define or limit your purpose)

What makes this certification program different and what we'll cover over 6 months together

Details about the training—one-on-one coaching with me, group sessions, practice coaching with real feedback, my signature tools and frameworks, plus an optional in-person retreat celebration

Why I'm only taking 12 people in this first cohort (I want to pour into your well)

Who this might be for—if you feel made for more, called to help people heal, or curious about stepping into your purpose

Not despising small beginnings (God works with your mustard seed of faith)

Stepping into what scares you because He equips you

Using the very things that broke you to help others break free

Trusting that your journey—all of it—has prepared you for this

If you're feeling called to help others heal, transform, and step into their purpose—and you're ready to explore if life coach training is your next step—let's connect.

Let's explore together if this is your next step. You don't need it all figured out—just bring your open heart and your curiosity.

Schedule Here!

Holiday Reminder: The holidays can be beautiful AND difficult. Make time for yourself and your soul. Remember what this season is about: Jesus being birthed into our lives and all He wants to birth through YOU.

Prayer Request: Pray that God brings the right people to this training and that I steward this opportunity well!

Peace, Dani

Hi!

If you’ve been feeling pulled in a thousand directions, overwhelmed by expectations, or stuck in the old habit of people-pleasing… oh friend, this one’s for you.

This week, I had to make a really big decision: Do I fly to a business retreat in sunny Florida that I’ve been looking forward to for six months… or do I stay home for my son’s state semifinal football game?

Both were good. Both mattered. And honestly? It sent my nervous system into a spiral.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing:

• What it’s like to make decisions when you’re overwhelmed

• How I calmed my nervous system enough to hear God clearly

• Why we cannot make wise choices from anxiety, guilt, or pressure

• How people-pleasing used to run my life (and almost broke me)

• A simple, biblical way to connect with your intuition and the Holy Spirit

• The exact phrase that finally brought me clarity and peace

• Why choosing alignment over approval is spiritual maturity

• And how to stop doing “all the things” so you can stay human, whole, and grounded

This is a gentle, practical episode about letting go, honoring your limits, and trusting that God guides you when you get quiet enough to listen.

Peace,
