    Predictions for the Next Era of the Online Coaching World

    Between the rise of AI and its ability to "clone" a coach, the whiplash of being on Threads and finding out your fave coach is kinda a Mean Girl, and the fall of celebrity coaches, there seems to be a crack in the coaching space. What's ACTUALLY going on? And perhaps most importantly, what's next? I share some off-the-cuff thoughts on how I see the online coaching landscape evolving in the coming months (and years tbh!) My predictions include pivoting to totally unexpected offers, the continued surge of IRL experiences, longer programs, "underground visibility", redefining what enough is, going back to school, and how building institutions ourselves could be the key to staying power. What do you think? Slide in my DMs and let me know or tag me on socials with your thoughts, I have a feeling this is a bigger conversation to be had amongst all of us...

    Unwell Drama, Summer House Scandal, Substack Controversy: State of the Internet with Xanthe Appleyard

    Ummm, WTF IS HAPPENING ON IN THE INTERNET? Particularly, social platforms, podcasting, and pop culture?!  That's exactly what Xanthe Appleyard and I GET INTO in a very special crossover series you can expect monthly: STATE OF THE INTERNET. We dive into all the headlines flooding our feeds, like: Substack controversy (again) — are ANY social platforms backed by Big Tech actually ethical? Do we have to choose the "lesser of evils"? Plus, why we both left this year.Summer House's never-ending scandal — surveillance culture, the illusion of justice and what it costs us as a society to keep fueling the drama with social commentaryAlix vs. Alex AND ALSO Unwell vs. The Media — the cost of skyrocketing to fame in a short window of time, the spectacle of two internet superstars fighting online (and why we can't look away)...plus, are media networks all they're cracked up to be?We discuss everything through the lens of online leadership, digital behavior, and modern philosophy.  You’ll leave with clear takeaways to move forward with, as well as a deeper understanding of how these topics are already impacting the conversations you’re leading, online and off.  The internet is chaos — we'll help you make sense of it from our corner of it all.

    The World Is Not Ending: How to Snap Out of Zombie Mode Through Creativity, Imagination and Art

    Every time we open the news or social media, it feels like we're just 1 more headline away from Earth combusting into flames. It's hard not to feel that way when we're fire-hosed with atrocity at the top of every hour. I can't help but wonder: is the world actually ending, or are we just chronically overexposed to doom with no alternative vision to reach for? In this solo episode, I explore my own doom-and-gloom mode that sent me into AI psychosis, how I climbed out of the dark hole, and started to realize the power of imagination, relationships, art, creativity, and prioritizing seeking joy. If you've felt hopeless, numb, or paralyzed by fear, I hope this episode stirs something within you to ignite a new future. We need your creative thinking now more than ever. Questions to sit with: What inputs are you going reduce this week or intentionally change? What's something super imaginative and forward thinking and non-apocalyptic that you could start putting out in the world? What brings you joy and how can you top up on it this week?DM me @chelseariffe with your reflections ❤️‍🔥 I can't wait to hear what world you're building.

    Design Your Business Around Your Human Design's Cognitive Architecture with Keolani Young

    If you've ever felt like you're running on fumes despite having a top-tier morning routine fueled by an iced matcha and perfect sleep score, creatively stifled to the point where you're Googling $8,000 retreats on the coast of Italy, or like your marketing is hitting a dead-end despite "doing all the right things", you might just be living out of alignment with your Human Design, especially its cognitive architecture. Keolani Young is here to teach us a Human Design 2.0 lesson today: Variable. This is an advanced aspect of HD as it reveals the way our brain physically digests information, the environments that support our creativity, and the places that truly nourish us.

If you're seeking a more intuitive, design-led approach to building your business, this episode is for you.

    The One Question That Changed How I Build My World

    Someone asked me a question last summer that stopped me cold in my tracks: instead of showing how anti everything you are, what are you FOR? What world are YOU actually building? I sat with this question for three months during my sabbatical in Europe. In today's episode, I share three different arcs I'm exploring: Circular economies, capping your income and redistributing wealth, and The Art of EnoughMedia as activism: what would it look like to change the world and flood our feeds with joy, imagination and silliness?Humanity as your brandIn order to build a new world and bring people in, you have to be the first citizen of your own first. Make it magnetizing, captivating, and SO articulate, it's a no-brainer for people to jump in. Tune in as I share the steps I'm taking to lay down the bricks, and the point of these pursuits.
