You're divorced. Now let's make your next chapter your best one. Welcome to The Divorce Revolution, a podcast for divorced moms who want to start and grow an online coaching business, hosted by Amber Shaw, business coach for divorced women who are ready to stop starting over and start building something of their own. After my own divorce, I was lost, broke, and had no idea what came next or how I'd support myself as a divorced mom. I wasn't just grieving my marriage, I was grieving my identity, my security, and the version of me who thought someone else would always have my back. So I did what most women are never taught to do. I rebuilt my life, my confidence, and my income from the ground up by starting an online coaching business. And it changed everything. This podcast is for divorced moms who know they want more. More autonomy. More income they control. More purpose. More proof that they can take care of themselves and their kids, on their terms. Each solo episode dives into the real stuff no one talks about when you're starting over and starting a business at the same time. Mindset. Money. Identity shifts. Confidence. Visibility. Imposter syndrome. Content that actually attracts clients. And what it really takes to turn your lived experience into a coaching business that pays you back, even if you don't think you're qualified yet. Because divorce isn't the end. It's your launchpad. If you're ready to stop circling, stop guessing, and finally build something that's fully yours, you're in the right place. Welcome to the revolution. Let's do this.

    464. Let Go Of The Business You Thought You'd Build

    Have you ever started your coaching business with a clear vision only to realize it doesn't look anything like what you imagined?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I talk about a reality that most successful coaches don't share enough: at some point, you will likely have to let go of the version of the business you originally pictured. Not because you're failing—but because you're learning, evolving, and discovering what actually works.    If you've been questioning whether you're doing something wrong because your business doesn't look the way you thought it would by now, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Join the waitlist for ReNewU, my signature group program for divorced moms ready to launch a coaching business that actually pays: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist   What I Discuss: 02:34 The naïve way I started my coaching business 05:02 Why your first version of your business is supposed to be messy 06:18 The tweaking trap that keeps coaches stuck 09:05 Why being uncomfortable is actually part of the job 10:39 The highlight reel of online business 12:23 Why building a business is like rebuilding after divorce 14:01 The simple foundations most coaches skip 14:39 The trap of chasing shiny platforms   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

    463. What to Start Doing If You Want Clients This Spring 2026

    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I talk about the shift that has to happen if you want clients this spring. Because at some point, building a coaching business stops being about organizing your content, fixing your bio, or cleaning things up behind the scenes…and starts being about actually creating momentum.   If you've been showing up but still wondering why clients aren't happening yet, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Episode 461.

    462. 4 Actions That Are Quietly Slowing Down Your Business

    Are you actually stuck or are you just doing the wrong things really consistently?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I zoom out from content strategy and talk about the deeper habits that might be quietly slowing down your growth. Because sometimes the issue isn't your niche, your hooks, or the algorithm—it's how you're operating as a business owner.   I'm breaking down four actions I see all the time that feel productive but are actually keeping you scattered, emotional, and stuck. We're talking about commitment level, CEO mindset, consuming too many opinions, avoiding revenue-producing actions, and why discipline (not mood) builds businesses.   If you've been busy but not profitable, this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Episode 461.

    461. Declutter Your Content If You Want Clients

    Is your content actually building clients or just building noise?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm walking you through what it really means to "spring clean" your messaging—and why more posting, better hooks, or blaming the algorithm isn't the answer. If you're getting views but not conversions, followers but not clients, this is the reset you didn't know you needed.   Resources Mentioned: Episode 457.

    460. How to Tell If They're Ready to Work With You (Or Just Venting in Your DMs)

    Ever get stuck in the DMs with someone who says they want help but nothing actually moves forward?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down something that trips up so many new coaches—how to tell if someone is actually ready to work with you or if they're just venting, looking for validation, or not quite there yet.   I talk about why so many discovery calls go nowhere, why people ghost after saying "yes," and how over-coaching in the DMs is usually a sign that you're missing one key skill: discernment. When you don't know how to spot readiness, you overextend yourself. You over-give and start to feel resentful. And then burnout creeps in.   But when you know what to look for? Everything changes.   Resources Mentioned: Join the waitlist for ReNewU, my signature group program for divorced moms ready to launch a coaching business that actually pays: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist   What I Discuss: 02:43 Why someone can genuinely want a better life, business, or relationship and still not be ready to do the work. 04:42 The subtle difference between someone venting about their circumstances and someone who's actually ready to move forward 05:51 Signs of client readiness  07:22 What it looks like when someone is really just looking for reassurance 09:26 How having a rinse-and-repeat framework helps you qualify clients without pressure, chasing, or second-guessing yourself   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

    459. The 5 Questions Your Content Must Answer Before Anyone Books a Call

    If your discovery calls feel like you're educating, building trust, proving credibility, handling objections, and trying to close all in 30–45 minutes…that's way too much weight for one conversation to carry. Your content should be pre-selling for you. It should be nurturing, building trust, and shortening your sales cycle long before someone hops on Zoom.   Today, I walk you through the five questions your content must answer so sales feel less like convincing and more like alignment.   Resources Mentioned: Episode 457.

    458. When to Say "No" to Business Opportunities (Even the "Good" Ones)

    If you've been saying yes to everything because you don't want to miss out—or you're afraid the opportunities will stop coming—then this episode is for you.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down something almost every coach struggles with at some point—especially in the beginning: knowing when to say no…even to opportunities that look amazing on paper.   We're not just talking about boundaries in life. We're talking about business opportunities—collabs, summits, podcasts, affiliate launches, speaking gigs—that feel flattering and exciting but might actually be draining your time, energy, and focus.   Resources Mentioned: Join the waitlist for ReNewU, my signature group program for divorced moms ready to launch a coaching business that actually pays: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist   What I Discuss: 02:40 The real cost of saying "yes" to everything 05:09 The 3-question filter I use to decide fast 05:13 What even counts as a collaboration anyway? 07:35 Is this right for this season of your business?= 08:37 Is there actual ROI here? 10:53 Will this light you up or low-key drain you? 11:27 The DIY spiral and decision fatigue 12:52 Protect what matters and choose intentionally   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

    457. The Difference Between Helpful Content and Client-Attracting Content

    What if being "helpful" is actually the reason no one is hiring you?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down the real difference between content that's just nice and educational and content that actually leads to paid coaching clients.   If you've been posting consistently, sharing tips, getting a few likes and saves—but still not getting inquiries—this conversation is going to hit home. I walk you through why "helpful" content alone can quietly stall your growth, especially if you're leaning on generic advice that sounds good but doesn't actually move someone into decision mode.   Resources Mentioned: Episode 455. 2026 Content Ideas for Coaches Who Want to Sign More Clients: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/455-2026-content-ideas-for-coaches-who-want-to-sign/id1577282350?i=1000748883672 Episode 456.
