    Kat Knecht – The 7 Steps to Soul-Driven Action

    In this episode of the Coaching Business Spotlight Show, Kat introduces her powerful Soul Search framework — a 7-step process for taking action that feels aligned, energized, and deeply true to who you are. If you’re a coach who knows how to take action but sometimes feels overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure which action is actually right… this episode is for you. Kat breaks down how to move from reactive, fear-based doing into creative, soul-driven action that leads to sustainable success. This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about aligning your actions with your intuition, imagination, and higher wisdom so your business grows in a way that feels good. Key Takeaways Soul-driven action starts with clarity. Set the narrative first — what’s the real topic or focus?Shift into the positive before solving the problem. Your brain and energy respond differently when you start from what’s working.Name the negative — but don’t create from it. Acknowledge doubts and fears without letting them drive your decisions.Imagination is the bridge to aligned action. Generating 10–20 possible pathways opens creative, inspired momentum.Linear strategy + inner alignment = sustainable success. You need both structure and soul to build a thriving coaching business.Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Soul Search by Kat Knecht - Available in paperback or for Kindle Soul Search worksheets (available upon request - katandcurtis@souldrivensuccess.com) Join the free Soul Driven Success Community for Coaches here: https://community.souldrivensuccess.com/ Learn more about Soul Driven Success courses and programs -- email katandcurtis@souldrivensuccess.com Website: https://souldrivensuccess.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-knecht/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SoulDrivenSuccess Kat's book: Evolve Your Coaching Business - Available in paperback or for Kindle Get the full show notes and more information here: https://souldrivensuccess.com/podcast/ Please click the button to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes and leave a review if your favorite podcast app has that ability.

    Kat Knecht – Relationship-Driven Marketing for Coaches

    In this episode, Kat explores one of the most powerful — and often overlooked — elements of growing a sustainable coaching business: the personal touch. Marketing isn’t just about visibility or tactics; it’s about relationships. Kat shares why meaningful, authentic connection is the foundation of both short-term results and long-term success. Through real stories from her own business, Kat illustrates how small, sincere outreach efforts can lead to referrals, collaborations, and opportunities years later. She walks listeners through practical, doable ways to build the personal touch into their marketing — without being salesy — and explains why consistency, intuition, and genuine care matter more than volume. Key Takeaways Marketing your coaching business is a relational effort, not a transactional oneThe long game — nurturing real relationships — creates sustainable growthPersonal touch means authentic outreach, not automated follow-upsReferrals and collaborations grow naturally from sincere connectionConsistent, intuitive outreach builds momentum without burnoutResources Mentioned in This Episode: Join the free Soul Driven Success Community for Coaches here: https://community.souldrivensuccess.com/ Learn more about Soul Driven Success courses and programs -- email katandcurtis@souldrivensuccess.com Website: https://souldrivensuccess.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-knecht/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SoulDrivenSuccess Kat's book: Evolve Your Coaching Business - Available in paperback or for Kindle Get the full show notes and more information here: https://souldrivensuccess.com/podcast/ Please click the button to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes and leave a review if your favorite podcast app has that ability.

    Kat Knecht – Why Relational Marketing Works for Coaches

    In this episode of the Coaching Business Spotlight Show, Kat kicks off a two-part focus on relational marketing — the kind of marketing that feels human, authentic, and aligned with who coaches are at their core. Speaking directly to coaches who feel resistance, fear, or dread around marketing, Kat reframes marketing not as selling, but as connection. Through personal stories from the early days of her business (and moments of recent challenge), Kat illustrates how relationship-based marketing has consistently sustained and grown her coaching practice. From personal outreach and one-on-one conversations to playing the long game of trust and connection, she reminds listeners that the most effective marketing skill coaches have is already in their wheelhouse: the ability to build meaningful relationships. This episode is both reassuring and practical — a permission slip to stop pushing and start connecting. Key Takeaways: Relationship-based marketing is the most effective marketing for coaches.Marketing doesn’t have to feel pushy or transactional to work.Personal touch matters — one conversation at a time builds momentum.The long game counts. Some relationships turn into clients years later.Connection fuels energy. Relational marketing re-energizes you and your business.Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Join the free Soul Driven Success Community for Coaches here: https://community.souldrivensuccess.com/ Learn more about Soul Driven Success courses and programs -- email katandcurtis@souldrivensuccess.com Website: https://souldrivensuccess.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-knecht/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SoulDrivenSuccess Kat's book: Evolve Your Coaching Business - Available in paperback or for Kindle Get the full show notes and more information here: https://souldrivensuccess.com/podcast/ Please click the button to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes and leave a review if your favorite podcast app has that ability.

    Kat Knecht – Visioning Your Coaching Business from the Inside Out

    In this New Year episode, Kat invites listeners to shift the spotlight inward. Before goals, strategies, or growth plans, she asks one essential question: who do you want to be this year? Through deeply personal stories, Kat explores visioning as a lived, embodied practice—one that includes intuition, patience, and trust through challenges. Kat shares three powerful real-life stories that illustrate how visions unfold over time, often with obstacles, detours, and inner clearing along the way. Whether it’s money goals, relationships, or career transitions, this episode reminds coaches that visioning isn’t about forcing outcomes—it’s about aligning with the experiences, feelings, and way of being that truly matter. Key Takeaways Visioning works best when you focus on experience and being, not just outcomesFeeling into a vision can be more powerful than attaching timelinesChallenges don’t mean your vision is wrong—they’re often part of the unfoldingClearing inner blocks is essential once you start taking aligned actionPersonal fulfillment fuels sustainable business growthResources Mentioned in This Episode: Join the free Soul Driven Success Community for Coaches here: https://community.souldrivensuccess.com/ Learn more about Soul Driven Success courses and programs -- email katandcurtis@souldrivensuccess.com Website: https://souldrivensuccess.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-knecht/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SoulDrivenSuccess Kat's book: Evolve Your Coaching Business - Available in paperback or for Kindle Get the full show notes and more information here: https://souldrivensuccess.com/podcast/ Please click the button to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes and leave a review if your favorite podcast app has that ability.

    Kat Knecht - The Soul Driven Success Visioning Process

    In this episode, Kat walks coaches through the 10-step Soul Driven Success Visioning Process — a powerful yearly ritual she has refined over two decades. Building on last episode's “Year in Review,” this conversation dives deep into how to intentionally craft a 2026 vision rooted in alignment, positive momentum, and soul-level truth. Kat breaks down each of the 10 steps with stories, examples, and practical prompts to help coaches release the past, elevate the positive, access their future selves, and design a vision that’s grounded, meaningful, and doable. She also shares details about upcoming workshops and how to access her guided visualization and visioning course inside the Soul Driven Success Community. Key Takeaways Start by clearing your energetic field. Reviewing the past is powerful, but Kat emphasizes the importance of a letting-go ritual so old failures and negative self-talk don’t leak into your new vision.Seed your vision with what’s already working. Instead of inventing goals from scratch, build on strengths, wins, and positive momentum you already have.Visualization unlocks deeper wisdom. Kat shares how future-self visualizations revealed truths she couldn’t have logically known — and how this practice pulls your vision forward.Experiences matter more than outcomes. Instead of obsessing over numbers, define the experience you want: how your business and life will feel.Action becomes easier with structure. Vision boards, written vision stories, and the Soul Search Process create ongoing alignment and help you stay in consistent, soul-led action all year.Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Upcoming Free Workshop: Monday, January 12, 2026 — Evolve Your Coaching Business with a Vision Join the free community + register here: https://community.souldrivensuccess.com/events/evolve-your-coaching-business-with-a-vision-93083571 Join the free Soul Driven Success Community for Coaches here: https://community.souldrivensuccess.com/ Learn more about Soul Driven Success courses and programs -- email katandcurtis@souldrivensuccess.com Website: https://souldrivensuccess.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-knecht/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SoulDrivenSuccess Kat's book: Evolve Your Coaching Business - Available in paperback or for Kindle Get the full show notes and more information here: https://souldrivensuccess.com/podcast/ Please click the button to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes and leave a review if your favorite podcast app has that ability.

    [Encore] Kat Knecht – The Money Side of Coaching: How to Price, Profit & Thrive

    In this encore episode, Kat Knecht shares a powerful story from her book "Evolve Your Coaching Business" that reveals how to make smart money decisions as a coach. Using an unexpected analogy from her early life helping run a fruit-growing business, Kat shows how creativity, curiosity, and a clear niche can turn challenges into thriving success. She breaks down real numbers on what new and experienced coaches can expect to earn, how long it typically takes to build a profitable business, and the mindset shifts that make all the difference. Key Takeaways: Your coaching income evolves as your business does — expect growth in stages, not overnight.Finding your niche is the “high-quality fruit” of coaching — it determines your success.Market research and curiosity open doors to opportunity you can’t see from the inside.Treat your coaching practice like a business, not just a service; track income, expenses, and projections.Mindset matters as much as strategy — stress about money blocks creativity and client connection.Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Join the free Soul Driven Success Community for Coaches here: https://community.souldrivensuccess.com/ Learn more about Soul Driven Success courses and programs -- email katandcurtis@souldrivensuccess.com Website: https://souldrivensuccess.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kat-knecht/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SoulDrivenSuccess Kat's book: Evolve Your Coaching Business - Available in paperback or for Kindle Get the full show notes and more information here: https://souldrivensuccess.com/podcast/ Please click the button to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes and leave a review if your favorite podcast app has that ability.
