Have you ever walked away from a coaching session wondering if you actually helped…or if you just had a "nice conversation"?

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down one of the most common fears I hear from new (and even experienced) coaches: How do I know if my coaching is actually working? We're moving out of fear and into evidence, and I'm sharing practical, real-life ways to recognize client progress without overcomplicating it or turning coaching into a data-tracking nightmare.

Have you ever felt called to coach but noticed a quiet fear creeping in the moment you imagine actually doing it? Not just fear of being seen—but fear of messing it up, getting it wrong, or being exposed?

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm unpacking what's really underneath that fear so many new coaches feel. We talk about why confidence issues usually aren't about confidence at all, how coaching isn't about fixing people but guiding them, and why caring deeply can actually make the fear feel louder—not smaller. I also share how learning real coaching skills and structure changes everything, and why you don't have to eliminate fear before you start—you just need to understand it.

If you've been wanting to coach but keep hesitating because you're scared you'll do it wrong or won't be good enough, then this episode is for you.
