BLEND WISDOM WITH SKILL- You don’t have to choose between coaching and consulting—you can do both. In this episode, we’re breaking down the hybrid model of Consultant Coaching: what it is, how it works, and how to know if it fits your strengths. If you’ve lived through hard things, built something meaningful, or have wisdom to offer and you love helping others process and grow—this is your lane.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
WHAT YOU DO NATURALLY IS VALUABLE - Let’s be honest: if you’ve been mentoring, encouraging, guiding, and holding space for the people around you, you’re already doing the work of a coach. The only difference? You haven’t been paid for it… yet. This episode will help you recognize the value of what you’re already doing and begin to shift from “helpful friend” to “paid guide” with clarity and confidence.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
CALLED TO COACH? LET’S FIND OUT- Have you ever felt a tug in your spirit—like coaching might be your next right step, but you’re not sure if you’re “qualified” or “ready”? In this episode, we’ll explore the signs that point to a coaching call and help you tune into what God might already be stirring in your heart. Because if you’ve been showing up, listening deeply, and guiding others naturally… this might be confirmation of what’s...
USE WHAT YOU’VE LIVED- You don’t need a fancy funnel or a big brand to start coaching. What you need is your story. In this episode, I’ll show you why your lived experience is your greatest asset as a guide—and how to steward it with integrity, clarity, and boldness. You already have everything you need to begin showing up for the people who need your wisdom.
Key Takeaways:
COACHING IS AND COACHING IS NOT- Let’s clear up any confusion. Coaching isn’t just a set of questions or a shiny certificate. And it’s not therapy or cheerleading either. This episode will help you understand what coaching really is—at its core—and why it matters. Whether you’re brand new or seasoned but unsure how to explain what you do, this is the anchor you need.
Key Takeaways:
CLARITY FOR COACHING & MARKETING- Ever wonder what the difference is between a coaching niche and a coaching method? This episode breaks down the difference between who you serve and how you help them get results. I’ll walk you through how your niche functions as a marketing invitation, and how your method delivers the transformation. If you’re a coach trying to find clarity in your business, this is your blueprint.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY IN COACHING- This episode challenges the myth that a full calendar equals a successful business. I’m inviting you to rethink the way you measure growth — and giving you permission to serve fewer clients with deeper impact and sustainable energy. Let’s stop chasing numbers and start building meaningful relationships that bear fruit.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
YOU’RE NOT THEIR SAVIOR- What if your client’s lack of progress doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong? In this episode, we’re untangling the false belief that a client’s outcome is your responsibility. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “fix” someone or guilt when results don’t show up, this is your permission slip to breathe. You are not the hero of their story—you’re the guide. And that role is more than enough. If you’ve felt t...
SMALL FOLLOWING : BIG IMPACT- If you've ever believed that your success as a coach or content creator hinges on building a massive social media following, this episode will free you. The truth? Numbers don't equal trust—and it's trust that turns followers into clients. I’m sharing a better strategy for impact that starts with meaningful connection.
Key takeaways:
START SMALL, SERVE WELL- The belief that you need a big launch or perfectly packaged offer before you can begin coaching or be legit in the industry will HOLD YOU BACK. If you've ever felt stuck because your website isn’t done or your program isn’t built out, this is your permission slip to begin anyway. Your story, your voice, and your willingness are more than enough to serve one person well- and that’s how a meaningful coaching ...
CLARITY COMES FROM ACTION- Not from waiting and thinking and perfecting. So if you’ve ever hesitated to call yourself a coach until your message was crystal clear and your process was perfectly mapped out, this episode is for you. We’re breaking the myth that you have to have it all figured out before you can begin.
Your clarity grows as you go : not before you start.
Key Takeaways:
HEALTHY BOUNDARIES HELP EVERYONE- What if the very thing you’re avoiding - boundaries - is actually the thing that would make you a better coach? In this episode, we’re talking about why boundaries matter, how to set them, and what happens when you don’t. If you’ve ever felt like being accessible all the time is part of your “value,” let’s untangle that myth right now. Your sanity, your sleep, and your clients will thank you.

VALUE HAS A COST- While free stuff can open some doors, it can also quietly devalue your work and train people to expect transformation without commitment. I'll explain in this episode how you can offer free value and when, teach you how to create a big-hearted entrepreneur benevolence plan, and inspire you to grow your business with integrity and clarity in a way that supports your calling and blesses others.
Key Takeaways:
BOUNDARIES BUILT ON FEAR FAIL- In this episode of the Christian Life Coach Collective, we tackle the common belief that setting up strict boundaries before you even begin coaching will protect you from burnout, harm, or difficult clients. While boundaries are essential, many new coaches set limits based on fear—not experience or calling.
You’ll learn how to discern between protective wisdom and projected fear, and how to build boun...
SELLING IS SERVING, NOT SELFISH- Many Christian coaches struggle with the idea of charging for their services, believing that helping others should be offered freely. In this episode, we bust the myth that selling your coaching is selfish and reframe it as an act of service. We talk about overcoming the guilt around sales, how to confidently offer your services, and why charging is essential for sustainable, life-changing impact.

DOING IT ALL ALONE ISN'T FRUITFUL- It's easy to believe that doing everything yourself is the best way to save money when starting or growing your coaching business. It might feel like a smart move to DIY your website, social media, and bookkeeping, but the truth is, trying to handle it all can cost you more in the long run: more time, more stress, and even lost income. You’ll hear how doing too much affected my own coaching journe...
MARKETING IS A MUST- Busting a major myth in the coaching industry: "If I'm a great coach, clients will automatically find me." Many new coaches believe that being skilled is enough, but running a coaching business means understanding marketing, visibility, and outreach. In this episode, we’ll break down why coaching is different from a coaching business, why marketing is not a dirty word, and practical steps to attract the right c...
SELF DOUBT- Do you ever feel like you’re not qualified enough to coach others? That any moment, someone will “find out” you’re not as capable as they think? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re tackling the myth that self-doubt means you lack credibility, capability, or calling. We’ll unpack the truth about imposter syndrome, why it’s actually a sign of growth, and how you can build confidence through action.
Key Takeaways:
PRICES REFLECT VALUE, NOT TIME- Many coaches struggle with pricing their services because they believe they’re simply “talking” to people. In this episode, we bust the myth that coaching isn’t worth premium pricing and explore why your fees should reflect the transformation you provide, not just the time you spend. Learn how to confidently communicate your value, set prices that match your impact, and shift your mindset from tradin...
YOU'RE NOBODY'S ALL IN ALL- Defining your ideal client changes everything in your coaching business.
