Raving Coaches

Ever wonder why you can’t seem to “just do the thing” in your business—even when you know what to do?

This episode with trauma healing coach Sara Miley will blow your mind. We unpack why common coaching struggles like imposter syndrome, burnout, black-and-white thinking, and people-pleasing are often unprocessed trauma responses—not mindset issues.

Sara breaks down Internal Family Systems (IFS) in a way that makes sense for your c...

Enroll now in the Say This, NOT That workshop https://www.ravingcoaches.com/thisnotthat Have you ever sat hearing someone talk about a program or product and thought, “I should want to want that… but I don’t”?

That disconnect is something we are talking about this week. Do your clients want what you are offering? If you don’t have a steady stream of clients, the answer is probably not. That disconnect between “I know I should wa...

Most coaches think being a podcast guest is about exposure. It’s not. It’s about intention, preparation, and knowing exactly how a podcast fits into your client-attraction strategy. In this episode, I break down what actually makes podcast guesting work for coaches — and why so many people are wasting time saying yes to interviews that go nowhere.

We talk through the unsexy but critical logistics that immediately impact whether peo...

You know what I hear from a lot of midlife women? “I did what I was supposed to do… and now I don’t know who I am.” Debbie Harrell calls that the autopilot problem—and in this conversation she names the rules underneath it: people-pleasing, martyr-mode, and decades of prioritizing everyone else’s needs until your own wants feel… inaccessible.

Debbie shares why she chose the phrase “rebel life coach,” how rebellion can be deeply pra...

If your marketing feels technically “fine” but people aren’t responding, this episode is for you. Because most coaches aren’t struggling with what to say — they’re struggling with where they’re saying it from.

In this conversation, I explain how fear shows up subtly in coaching messaging, even when it sounds confident or well-written. I walk through how your protective “parent” energy can hijack your marketing, why it feels importa...

I am a person who has a thousand words when I get upset—and I have had a difficult time interacting with people who go quiet, freeze, or default to “I don’t know” when they are. So when I sat down with Victoria Duarte, somatic and mindfulness coach and co-founder of Healing Arts Center in Virginia Beach, I learn so much about what’s actually happening in the body during shutdown, why “simple questions” can trigger threat response, ...

Today I interviewed decluttering coach and psychologist Kate Evans about something most of us would rather ignore: the piles in the corner, the “I’ll deal with it later” rooms, and the way clutter quietly eats away at our energy and worth. In this episode Kate makes a sharp distinction between cleaning up a space and actually healing the patterns that created it. Clutter, she says, is a symptom—of stress, life transitions, perfecti...

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I can help them… so why aren’t they saying yes?” — this episode is for you. Today I’m breaking down one of the most overlooked messaging mistakes coaches make: skipping the bridge of trust and asking clients to jump straight into your world.

I explain why your clients aren’t wrong about the problems they think they have — they’re just standing earlier on the path than you are. We talk about why coach...

I recently interviewed Alissa Bickar, a business consultant and real estate investor who believes entrepreneurs really can save the world—but not if they’re exhausted, over-functioning, and building from obligation instead of curiosity. If you’ve ever felt like your business was running you instead of the other way around, this conversation will hit home. Alissa breaks down why so many founders become the bottleneck in their own gr...

I recently interviewed Linda Eskay, a Defender Endotype, and someone who brings a refreshing level of clarity to a problem most parents are secretly wrestling with: anxious kids who feel overwhelmed, pressured, or disconnected. Linda doesn’t treat anxiety as a disorder; she treats it as information. A signal that something in the environment is misaligned. And she shows parents how to shift the patterns inside their home so that th...

There’s a specific kind of bad advice floating around the coaching industry—and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

In this episode of The Raving Coaches Podcast, I rant about bad advice in a coaching group that sent me over the edge: a brand-new coach being told to ask AI to critique her niche and messaging. Today we dig into why AI becomes an echo chamber, why niche-based branding works for products but not for people, and why m...

I talk to a lot of coaches who are drowning in tasks and secretly terrified to hand anything off. You want a VA. You want better systems. But in the back of your mind you’re thinking, “What would I even give them that isn’t a giant mess?” In this episode with Lauren Glynn, we get brutally honest about why you can’t scale crap and what it really takes for a coach or service provider to stop being the bottleneck in their own business...

Before you start setting goals for 2026, it’s time to take a hard—but kind—look at 2025.

In this week’s episode of The Raving Coaches Podcast, I get to share a story about a desert mountain hike that changed the way I see my business—and why I now spend every December reflecting instead of racing ahead. You’ll learn how to identify what worked, what didn’t, and what you’re still carrying that doesn’t belong in your next season.

If ...

Burnout looks different up close. In this solo episode of The Raving Coaches Podcast, I (Laura Hulleman) unpack a question sparked by my former client Sandra Lee: Can we reach clients before burnout? I share the “house on fire” analogy—911 moments, kitchen-flame moments, and simple smoke-alarm moments—to help you decide exactly which phase your marketing is designed to meet.

We explore how urgency, perceived importance, and clear p...

What if your chronic pain isn’t just physical?

In this episode I chat with Michelle Scott—licensed psychotherapist, Reiki master teacher, “the weird therapist” and my friend—to explore the surprising link between stuck emotions, chronic pain, and speaking your truth.

Michelle shares her own journey through fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and years of silence that left her literally without a voice. Together, she and Laura unp...

When a course works, it changes everything. When it doesn’t, it’s just a waste of time. In this episode, Sara Vezensek breaks down what separates high-impact courses from the digital junk pile. She and I dive into clarity, frameworks, client readiness, and why “messy action” always beats perfection.

Guest Bio: Sara Vezensek is a Captain Endotype coach and course creation strategist for ambitious women entrepreneurs. She specialize...

 Coaches tell me all the time, “I know my why.” That’s great. But do your values actually show up in the way you market and sell? In today’s episode of The Raving Coaches podcast, I walk you through how values become your north star — not just for motivation, but for pricing, offers, branding, visuals, and your entire sales experience. I talk about Brené Brown’s example of courage and vulnerability, and then connect it back to us a...

When a coach starts dismantling the rules they were handed—about marriage, ambition, safety, identity—everything changes. Jen Vertanen is in that place. And she’s turning it into a community.

In this conversation, Jen shares the origin of her new project, We the Unruly, and the deep emotional audit she had to do to get there. We talked about what it means to be seen in your grief, how legacy beliefs shape our coaching voice, and wh...

Grief changes everything. It rearranges the body, the brain, and the spirit.

In this conversation, Marcia Earhart (Visionary Endotype) opens up about walking through unimaginable loss—the deaths of two sons—and how that experience led to the creation of The Sterling Rose Sanctuary, a nonprofit healing ministry offering “boots-on-the-ground” support for people experiencing trauma and grief.

We talk about what it really means to brea...
