Feeling overwhelmed by your coaching business goals? You’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong. In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we’re breaking down how to create a business roadmap that actually works for you—not against you.

Many coaches fall into the trap of overestimating what they can accomplish in a year—setting massive content creation or revenue goals that quickly lead to burnout and discouragement.

We explore why most 12-month plans are destined to collapse, and how to design a sustainable, seasonally-aware roadmap that reflects your real life, your real energy, and your unique stage of business.

You’ll learn:

• The 3 key areas your roadmap should focus on
  
  
  
• How to set supportive, non-overwhelming business goals
  
  
  
• What to prioritize in each season of growth
  
  
  
• How to align your business plans with your values and capacity
  
  
  

Whether you’re relaunching your business, scaling up, or trying to stay consistent without burning out—this episode will help you build a business that feels like you.

Let’s talk about what it really means to help clients with nervous system regulation.

Kim Kimball—a CLCC grad, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and somatic leadership coach—joins us to unpack the difference between true regulation and what’s often just emotional bypassing. We explore how to help clients recognize what’s actually happening in their bodies, work with their capacity instead of against it, and build businesses that feel sustainable rather than depleting.

This conversation digs into how highly sensitive and neurodivergent entrepreneurs can honor their wiring, stretch within capacity, and stop forcing themselves into systems that were never built for them.

If you’ve ever wondered how to support clients in regulating without repressing, or how to bring a somatic lens into your coaching in an ethical, trauma-informed way—this episode is a must-listen.

What does it really take to go from coach to founder?

In this episode, we talk with Megan Hale, MA, founder and CEO of DreamMoney.co, about what it means to evolve from running a coaching practice to building a tech startup. After a decade in the coaching world, Megan made the leap into software development—raising $150K in grants and funding her first platform as a non-technical founder.

We unpack the mindset shift that happens when you stop thinking like a solopreneur and start thinking like a founder: how to lead a vision that’s bigger than yourself, fundraise without burnout, and hold your nervous system steady through the unknown.

If you’ve ever felt the call to build something larger than your current business—or wondered how to make that leap—this episode offers an inside look at what it takes to grow from coach to founder with courage, clarity, and strategy.

Still undercharging? Avoiding money conversations? Feeling stuck when clients bring up pricing, investing, or fear of earning?

In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we tackle one of the biggest mindset challenges in coaching: money—and how to shift both your own money beliefs and support your clients in doing the same.

Whether you’ve been underpricing your offers, struggling to state your rates with confidence, or tiptoeing around client resistance to financial growth—this episode offers grounded, honest guidance.

We explore:

• The most common money mindset traps coaches fall into
  
  
  
• How to shift your pricing narrative without guilt or apology
  
  
  
• Scripts and questions for coaching clients through money blocks
  
  
  
• How to model healthy money behavior in a values-based way
  
  
  

You'll walk away with new language, powerful reflection questions, and a grounded approach to money work that aligns with the ICF Core Competencies.

Because coaching about money isn’t about spreadsheets—it’s about self-worth, possibility, and emotional safety.

Building a coaching business isn’t a straight line—it’s a living, breathing experiment. In this conversation with CLCC graduates Kim Romain and Louise Neil, we talk about pivoting your coaching business with courage, collaboration, and self-trust.

Kim and Louise share how they went from co-hosting their first group podcast to creating Empowered and Embodied, a show born from brave conversations about what wasn’t working anymore. Together, we unpack how to know when it’s time to shift direction, why joy is a legitimate metric for success, and what it takes to release sunk-cost bias and start again.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing it wrong” because you want to pivot your coaching business in a new direction, this is your invitation to see your coaching business as an evolution. This episode will help you see change as part of mastery—not a mistake.

Wondering how to come back to your coaching business after time away? Whether you took a few months off or a few years, this episode of The Craft of Coaching will help you return with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Many coaches step away from their businesses—but when it’s time to return, the shame spiral can hit hard. You might wonder if people noticed you disappeared, if you're still “legit,” or where to even begin.

We’re here to dismantle all of that. This episode walks you through how to re-enter your coaching practice without apology or hustle, offering real-world steps and mindset shifts to support your return. You’ll get a 3-part framework for reconnecting with your “why,” taking consistent action, and honoring who you’ve become during your break.

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to release the guilt and reclaim your role—not despite your time away, but because of what it gave you.

Coaching is not a straight path. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to come back.

And you’re allowed to make this comeback honest, human, and powerful.

We’re talking about how to change your marketing strategy when what you’ve been doing isn’t working—and how to know when it’s time to pivot. Our guest, Jen Vertanen (We The Unruly), has rebranded more than once, invested in beautiful websites and copy that didn’t convert, and sat in the stew of “make it fit” before landing on the approach that finally clicked.

Across this candid conversation, we explore why clarity about who you serve and how matters more than perfect labels, why you don’t need a niche to be magnetic (a strong point of view can do the heavy lifting), and why you shouldn’t wait for a flawless strategic plan before you start selling. Jen shares the permission question that unlocked her direction (“Where am I not giving myself permission?”), how she built a values-driven community without a sales page, and what changed when she started showing up as both coach and strategic CEO.

If you’re ready to evolve your message, stop forcing a brand that doesn’t fit, and build a strategy that actually attracts the right people, this episode is your practical, heart-centered roadmap to changing your marketing strategy with integrity.

If you're a coach who has built out an entire brand--all the content and messaging, programs and protocols--and then you realize that you want to change things up, what do you do?

That's a question we tackle in this episode of the Craft of Coaching podcast on how to rebrand, and we're using our own rebrand as the example. The Courageous Living Coach Certification is still "CLCC" but we're changing our name to the Certified Life Coach Collective training program. Follow along to hear the story of what's changing, the ups and downs of a rebrand, and what we're leaning into more than ever.
