Hey hey Encourager!

🎙️ In this soul-fueled episode, Mitch takes a fresh approach—unscripted and straight from the heart. He shares what it looks like to Follow the Flow in your coaching, content creation, and business… especially when life gets busy and burnout looms.

🔥 You'll hear:

• Why one of Mitch’s BEST coaching calls had nothing to do with what the client originally hired him for (and why that’s a GOOD thing).

• What it means to follow the flow—with intention—and how it can lead to unexpected breakthroughs.

• The big shift happening with Encouraging the Encouragers (yep, we’re going a bit more “random”—and here’s why).

Plus… Mitch drops a few Follow the Flow Questions—simple, powerful prompts to help you get back to your best work and avoid burnout. 🎯

Here are a couple to get you started:

👉 Where am I currently doing my best work?
👉 Who are the people I feel most energized working with?

Want the rest of the questions? 💡 Tune in to the full episode and let the "FLOW" take you there.
