What if joy isn’t a mood you wait for but a stance you cultivate—especially when the world feels chaotic? Executive and team coach Terrie Lupberger joins us to unpack why joy can be a radical act that disrupts scarcity, separation, and fear in the coaching room and the boardroom. We explore a clear distinction between joy and happiness, how to avoid toxic positivity, and why holding paradox—grief alongside gratitude, urgency with steadiness—makes leaders more effective and coaches more trustworthy.

We go deep on the hidden narratives that shape work: the myth that there’s never enough, that we’re alone, and that worth depends on outcomes. Terrie offers accessible practices to reset your inner operating system, including micro moments of appreciation you can do in 15 seconds and “radical receiving” so praise and connection actually land in your body. We talk about curating inputs—news, feeds, and relationships—to protect attention, reduce reactivity, and widen choice. The result is a coaching presence that doesn’t collude with fear and a leadership style that strengthens trust, creativity, and meaningful action.

You’ll leave with practical ways to cultivate joy daily, support clients without bypassing pain, and anchor your heart while you move into the “din of battle.” If you’ve been chasing happiness or feeling drained by constant crisis, this conversation offers language, tools, and a path back to what matters. Listen, try a micro practice today, and tell us where joy is most accessible in your life.

Buyers rarely say no because your headline is off by a word or your price is a tick too high. They hesitate because something in your offer, your proof, or your process doesn’t feel safe yet. We sit down with business strategist and five-time certified coach Marci Rossi to unpack the trust risk connection and why a clear safety net can turn curiosity into coaching clients.

Marci explains how to separate a visibility problem from a trust problem, so you know what to fix first. We dig into practical trust builders you can implement this week: risk reversal through guarantees or prorated cancellations, honest social proof that feels human (and how to collect it ethically), and messaging that states exactly who you help, what changes, and what the first steps look like. We also talk about what to do when interest stalls—how to read on-site behavior, invite candid feedback from prospects, and nurture relationships with simple follow-ups that respect the personal nature of coaching.

You’ll hear why screenshots can be stronger than polished quotes, how to avoid placeholder testimonials that harm credibility, and why clarity beats clever copy every time. Marci also shares her Shortcut program, a 12‑week done-for-you backend setup that handles tech, automations, and onboarding so you can spend more time coaching and less time tinkering. If you’re tired of being the world’s best kept secret, this conversation gives you a clear path to build trust, reduce risk, and earn more yeses from the right clients.

What if the strongest lever in your coaching isn’t a better framework, but deeper self-trust? We sit down with social leadership coach Gloria Custodio, PCC, to unpack why grounded presence beats perfect structure, how to navigate “wonky” moments, and what to do when confidence takes a hit. Gloria shares a pivotal training story that reframed her approach: trust your gut, measure impact by client outcomes, and let presence lead. From note-heavy sessions that dull connection to micro-practices that reset your nervous system, this conversation turns abstract ideals into usable tools.

We get candid about the difference between passing ICF recordings and coaching “in the wild.” Assessment rubrics have their place, yet real clients care less about who says the summary and more about whether they feel seen, challenged, and safe. Gloria offers practical ways to honor both worlds without losing your authentic style. We also talk repair after tough sessions, community as the backbone of resilience, and why bartering coaching with peers broadens range and restores trust faster than going it alone.

The heart of our talk is simple and bold: you don’t need certainty to be trustworthy. You need honesty, attention, and the courage to stay present while the unknown unfolds. When coaches model that steadiness, clients learn to trust themselves—and that ripple shifts teams and systems. Expect clear language, real stories, and micro-actions you can use before your very next session.

If you found value here, follow the show, share this episode with a coach who needs a boost, and leave a quick review so others can discover it. Your support helps us keep building brave spaces, one conversation at a time.
