Life, Mastered with Molly Claire

Have you ever felt like you’re the only one facing challenges while everyone else has it all together? Maybe you’ve also experienced the opposite–people overlook your struggles due to your success.

Here’s the reality: everyone struggles–even the most capable, successful people. When we’re in the thick of it, it’s easy to feel isolated, judged, and wonder if we’re the only one who has to overcome challenges. This podcast is about und...

When we think about better time management and how to increase productivity, it’s tempting to believe that if we could perfectly color-code our calendars or find the best scheduling hack, all the overwhelm and stress would disappear. Those of us who have tried those methods time and again, yet still feel overworked and frustrated, know they’re not the quick fix we want them to be. Here’s the good news: increasing productivity gets ...

It’s so natural for us to invest our time and energy into giving back to others–we’ve been taught that it’s more noble to prioritize other people over ourselves. But what are the benefits of investing in yourself? When you prioritize personal transformation, you open the door to better serving others as well.

In this episode, we explore how being an achiever, a do-gooder, and someone who truly wants to help and serve can create a be...

When you hear the word "achievement," what comes up for you? Do you feel energized and inspired? Or do you instantly feel the pressure to “do more” or “be better”? 

In this episode, we’re diving into the complex relationship many of us have with achievement. We’ll explore the ways achievement can be expansive and lead you toward creating the life you want, and the ways overachieving can trap you in a cycle of overworking that d...

Welcome to the very first episode of Life, Mastered with Molly Claire! This shift in the podcast reflects my values and the deeper, more expansive work I feel called to share. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m thrilled to finally bring it to you.

In this episode, you’ll hear about what you can expect from the new direction of this podcast and why, first and foremost, it really is for you. If you're someone who knows you're meant...

I can hardly believe this is episode 199 of The Masterful Coach podcast! For the final episode under this title, we dive into why I've decided to make this change, and how it aligns with the work I do and the transformation I believe is possible for you. This new version of the podcast is truly in service of you and the life you want to create–I can’t wait to get started!

Over the course of this podcast, you’ve heard me discuss my f...

For something that touches every one of us, many people still feel grief-illiterate. Whether it's impacting someone close to you or your entire community, it can be difficult to figure out what to say or how to offer support. In light of the recent flooding in Texas, I wanted to have a heartfelt conversation about collective grief, the grieving process, and what it truly means to show up for others in both the short and long term.

I...

In the current state of the world, we have all the information we could need at our fingertips—AI, ChatGPT, and automation are providing answers faster than we can come up with questions. But what's missing is context, meaning, and human connection. 

In this episode, I explore what the world is truly missing—and how transformational coaching and emotional intelligence in leadership can help fill the void. Because while we’re fl...

Have you ever told yourself the reason you feel overwhelmed is because you're just not an organized person? This is a common belief, but the truth is that you can organize your business in a way that is both simple and sustainable. You just have to find a place to start. 

It's easy to get overwhelmed when you're building a coaching business. You start with passion and purpose, but quickly get lost in courses and resources that ...

How can a strategic “no” be just as valuable to your business as a “yes”? When you’re growing, it’s easy to feel pressure to say yes to every opportunity, client, and commitment that seems beneficial. But the truth is, saying no to things that are misaligned with your values, short-term temptations, or simply clutter in your life is one of the most powerful tools you have for building your ideal life—and supporting your clients in ...

Many coaches begin in this field because we're driven by the craving for more from life! Can you relate? It's easy to get stuck going through the motions — merely existing rather than feeling truly alive. So, you follow your passion for helping others and begin to build a coaching business. Now, you're a catalyst for transformation, guiding your clients down their own path of rediscovering their authentic selves.

I am thrilled to we...

Here's the truth no one talks about: You don't get what you want in life—you get what your nervous system feels safe receiving.

Think about it—every client who comes to work with you has something they deeply desire. They've likely tried multiple strategies, taken all the "right" steps, and still aren't seeing results. Whether it's more money, a thriving relationship, or a successful business, the reason their goal remains out of re...

What’s a big goal that you're working towards right now? Growing your coaching business? Signing more clients or increasing your revenue? Or perhaps it's a personal goal, like improving your quality of life, working less, or focusing more on your relationships. Whatever it is, that big change is possible for you. But even with that vision in mind, you may still struggle to stick with the path of getting there. In this epi...

As coaches, we've all experienced the moment when everything feels aligned–your offer is solid, your webinar is ready to sell, a client is about to sign–and then… it doesn't happen. No sign-ups, no clients, nothing. We've all been here, right? It's a big letdown, and it's often difficult not to take the defeat personally. However, this moment does not have to define you or your coaching business. Overcoming business challenges isn’...

Do you struggle with accepting money and embracing financial abundance in your business? For heart-centered coaches especially, navigating wealth can be a challenging task. Even though you are highly skilled and passionate about cultivating lasting change in your clients, you may feel limited by a lack of confidence around money or the negative connotations often associated with it. Maybe you know you deserve more financial freedom...

Emotions are foundational in our overall well-being. They shape our relationships, affect our careers, and influence countless other areas where our clients seek support. Yet, for many of us and our clients, sometimes emotions can feel vague or ambiguous. Why? We were never taught to clearly identify our emotions and still may not have the language to articulate them. 

Understanding and accurately labeling the feeling...

Some of the most impactful moments in coaching occur when a client bumps up against resistance. Have you noticed this too?!... It can often seem like more of a barrier when our clients experience emotional resistance. However, highly skilled coaches (like my Master Coach client Sondra who you’ll hear from in this week’s podcast) know that resistance is actually a sign that transformation is near.  As Master-level coaches, we c...

When I first began my own motherhood journey, surviving each day seemed to be the goal.  Can you relate? As women, the degree to which we can feel spread thin and overwhelmed by the emotional overload of becoming a mom can seem unbearable. And yet, I’ve come to learn that while “survival” mode can serve us from time to time, ultimately leaning into thriving is not only possible, but an incredible opportunity to expand our abil...

Today, we're diving deep into something I have discussed many times from a slightly different perspective. Almost every coach faces challenges when we realize that in addition to doing the work we love, we also have to run a business. The idea and practice of having a coaching business can be overwhelming, but it certainly doesn't have to be. 

If you want to build a coaching business that reflects your values—where deep relatio...
