At 39 weeks pregnant, I’m learning one of the biggest lessons of this season: how to surrender in life and business. In what may be my final podcast episode before giving birth, I’m sharing some raw reflections on what pregnancy and preparing for birth are teaching me about self-trust, boundaries, business, coaching, and letting go of the invisible rules about how we’re “supposed” to do things. I talk about slowing down without feeling guilty, stepping away from social media and hustle culture, trusting my intuition, allowing business to feel more creative and free, and why becoming a coach is often an identity-level transformation. I also share a personal birth update, including baby moving from transverse to head-down, preparing for my home birth, and what these final days are teaching me about being present rather than rushing toward what’s next. I don’t know exactly who I’ll be on the other side of this birth but I have a feeling a lot is going to change. ❤️ In this episode, I talk about: The parallels I see between birth, coaching, and transformationWhy coaches need to be incredibly mindful about giving advice, predictions, or intuitive guidance to vulnerable clientsStepping away from social media and protecting what I allow into my energetic spaceWhy slowing down does not mean my business has stopped growingQuestioning whether the things we desire are actually ours or desires we’ve absorbed from other peopleLetting business become more creative, artistic, playful, and personalWhat I hope to bring back into my coaching, teaching, and business after this birth Ready to Take Your Next Step as a Coach?
