In this episode, I'm speaking with Kristen Esquivias, an executive coach, speaker, facilitator, yoga & mindfulness instructor, and the founder of Courageous Growth, LLC.

She did her undergrad and masters in statistics, with minors in psychology and math, and has 15 years of corporate retail experience in Analytics, Strategy and CRM.

She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2017 and you'll hear about how she incorporates the body-mind connection into coaching, AND how she's brought coaching into her yoga circles.

What I love about this conversation is that Kristen offers a fresh perspective as someone who has been coaching professionally for less than 2 years, and you can tell how much depth, wisdom, and sheer excitement she brings to this art and to her clients.

We talk about overcoming "newness", breaking free from the mold, the qualities she looks for in great clients, defining ourselves without labels, working IN as well as ON your business, making it up and befriending the messiness, the value of having your own coach, the nuances of 1:1 versus group coaching, and much more.

There's something really special about Kristen that I can't quite put my finger on, but I can feel it, and I left this conversation feeling really inspired and energized. I hope you do too.
