Raving Coaches

Voice, Visibility, and the Coaching Work You’re Meant to Do

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a transmission.
I sat down with Monique McDonald to talk about the deeper layers of visibility—how your body holds your story, how your voice reflects your beliefs, and what happens when you finally stop performing and start owning who you are. We got into duality, sacred space, business identity, and what voice work has to do with marketing clarity.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, muted, or afraid to take up space—this episode is for you. Download Monique’s free 10-day Magnetic Speaker Kit → moniquesgift.com

Do You Really Need a Funnel to Launch?

This launch didn’t start with a spreadsheet. It started with a nudge. In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I went from “I should probably do a workshop” to booking new clients, selling strategy sessions, and creating a profitable, intuitive launch.
You don’t need to build the whole funnel. You don’t need to plan for three months. You just need a clear next step, a marketing plan that puts butts in seats, and a path that feels good to YOU. I’m giving you permission to launch messy, imperfect, and aligned.
Want help with your own launch or marketing? Let’s talk in a Connection and Direction Call. And if your message still feels fuzzy, go take the Stop Calling Yourself a Coach course—it’ll clean that up real fast.

Why Empaths Lose Themselves—and How to Reclaim Your Power

What if your most powerful business tool isn’t your website or your strategy—but your body? In this episode, intuitive coach Brenda Winkle and I explore how breath, embodiment, and energy practices create massive clarity for coaches—especially those who don’t fit the “standard” mold.
We talk about real-world intuition in business (not the fluffy kind), what it means to move from trauma responses into sovereignty, and how even pricing decisions can be led by your gut. Brenda shares her personal journey from teacher to coach, and we get honest about failed launches, spiritual gifts, and what happens when you stop hiding half of who you are.

Avoid the Drama Triangle with Your Coaching Clients

 Coaches, are you helping your clients... or are you accidentally creating drama that stalls your business? In this solo episode, Laura Hulleman breaks down the Drama Triangle—victim, persecutor, rescuer—and how it sneaks into our coaching relationships, our marketing, and even our self-worth. If you’ve ever wondered why your business feels exhausting or your messaging sounds off, this episode is your mirror. Tune into the Raving Coaches podcast to find clarity, drop the hero complex, and start building client relationships that are healthy, strategic, and sustainable.

Intuition, Your Body, and Your Business

If you’ve ever frozen up mid-launch, doubted your pricing, or wondered whether you’re even cut out for this business—stop scrolling and hit play. In this episode, I talk with Cera Byer about the internal war coaches' fight between intuition and fear, embodiment and logic, survival and expansion.
Cera shares what it looks like to run a launch rooted in trust—not tactics. We discuss why so many coaches live in the fantasy of failure, how our nervous systems sabotage creativity, and what happens when you unfollow everyone and listen only to yourself.
If you're a coach building a business on big dreams and bigger feelings, this conversation will hit home.

How to Hire the Right Marketing Person

Let’s be real: most coaches don’t actually know how to hire a marketing person. I’ve had too many conversations with brilliant coaches who ended up $30K in the hole with a beautiful website that doesn’t get them a single client.
In this episode of Raving Coaches, I’m breaking down exactly what to ask before you hire anyone for your marketing—whether it’s a designer, a copywriter, or a strategist. I’ll show you how to tell if they actually understand you and your business, and what kind of return you should be expecting. Most importantly, I’ll help you avoid the trap of hiring someone who gives you “visibility” but no clients. Because the truth is, marketing that doesn’t bring you clients is just expensive decoration.

How to Serve through Communities and Events

Let’s be honest—most conferences are a dumpster fire of awkward energy and sales pitches. This episode is about how to do it differently.
Pat Miller, the Idea Coach and creator of the Small Business Owners Community, has created a conference that’s built on actual community—not just cliques and cold coffee. In this episode, we break down how he intentionally curates the experience—from the minute someone buys a ticket, all the way through the steak dinner on day three. If you’re a coach running workshops, retreats, or your own event, this episode is your behind-the-scenes look at what makes people actually show up—and rave about it afterward.
Plus, we talk about:
Why most events fail to make people feel seen
What coaches must stop doing if they want to be taken seriously
Intentionality when it comes to communities and events.
How to build a room where people want to help each other win

How to Choose the Right Business Coach

I’ve had some incredible business coaches—and I’ve had some I couldn’t run from fast enough. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and telling the truth about how to pick a coach who works with you, not over you. I talk about why we’re drawn to bossy coaches (hint: it's got something to do with our employee conditioning), why you need to ask better questions before hiring, and how to make sure you’re not just buying someone’s plug-and-play method that burns you out. If you’re about to hire support, listen to this first.

How Coaches Should Really Network (Based on Personality Type)

If you’ve ever shown up at a networking event and thought, “What the heck am I supposed to say?”—you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why networking can feel awkward and exhausting—and how your coaching superpowers can make it easier. I walk you through why you can’t network like your extroverted friend and how your Endotype shows you the rooms you belong in and how to add value once you're there. Oh, and yes—I go on a mini rant about the whole “ambivert” thing. You’ve been warned.
