    Using AI in Your Coaching Business — Without Losing Integrity, Authenticity, or Your Human Touch Using AI in your business can feel like a huge opportunity… and also a bit uncomfortable. Many coaches are wondering: How do I use AI effectively without losing my voice?How do I stay ethical and value-aligned?And how do I use it in a way that actually saves time — instead of creating more work?In this episode, I’m sharing how I personally use AI tools like ChatGPT in my business — not as a replacement for my thinking, creativity, or intuition, but as a supportive assistant that helps me work more efficiently and protect my energy. If you’re a solopreneur wearing all the hats and craving a more spacious, life-first way of working, this episode will help you find your own balanced approach to AI. In this episode, we cover: Why AI works best as an assistant — not a decision-maker or creative replacementThe 20–60–20 approach to using AI without losing your human touchHow to use AI to organise and refine your ideas — without outsourcing your thinkingWhy good prompts (and good context) matter more than the tool itselfHow to reduce back-and-forth with AI so you’re using it more efficiently and ethicallyThe importance of feeding AI your brand voice, values, and ideal client contextWhy AI can’t replace your lived experience, intuition, or client relationshipsHow to avoid using AI as a way to “do more” — and instead use it to do less, betterA life-first perspective on AI, energy use, and intentional business systemsA life-first way to think about AI AI can’t replace: Your point of viewYour lived experienceYour intuitionYour relationship with your audienceOr the way you support your clientsUsed intentionally, AI can help you: Simplify your marketingSave hours of timeReduce decision fatigueAnd build a business that actually supports your lifeJoin the FREE Training If you’d like support creating a calm, repeatable client attraction system — and learning how to use tools like AI in a way that feels ethical, aligned, and life-first — I’d love to invite you to my free live training: The Life-First Client Attraction Framework Inside the training, I’ll walk you through a simple 4-step process to: Clarify your message and offerCreate a repeatable way to attract clientsBuild momentum without burnoutLay strong foundations for sustainable growth👉 REGISTER HERE Free Live Training Join me on February 24th for  The Life-First Client Attraction Framework - disocver  a calm, practical 4-step approach to marketing and selling your 1:1 coaching, so you can attract consistent clients - without the hustle and bunrout.  👉 Save your free seat here This is The Life-first Coaching Business Podcast, brought to you by fellow solopreneur and business coach Leonie.

    3 Things Blocking You From Clients (Even Though You’re Getting Visible) Ep.76

    If you’re a coach who’s already showing up online - posting on social media, talking about your coaching, and putting real effort into getting visible - but it’s still not translating into enough clients, this episode is for you. In this episode of the Life-First Coaching Business Podcast, we’re not talking about doing more, hustling harder, or completely changing your strategy. Instead, I’m breaking down three very specific (and common) things that quietly block coaching clients, even when you’re doing everything “right” and the simple shifts you can make to start seeing results from the effort you’re already putting in. This episode is all about clarity, structure, and converting visibility into clients, without burnout or overwhelm. In this epsiode I cover: Why being visible alone doesn’t create coaching clientsThe mistake many coaches make when they post content without a clear next stepHow to invite people to book discovery calls without feeling salesyWhy connection and empathy aren’t enough to convert (and what’s missing)The positioning gap that stops ideal clients from taking actionWhy playing it safe in your messaging slows down client attractionHow bold, clear leadership in your content builds trust and momentumWhat actually needs to happen to move someone from stranger to clientTimestamps: 00:00 Introduction: Turning Visibility into Clients 00:30 Welcome to Life First Coaching Business Podcast 00:58 Three Key Blocks to Converting Visibility into Clients 01:30 Block 1: Lack of Clear Next Steps 03:49 Block 2: Weak Positioning in Content 06:05 Block 3: Playing It Too Safe 07:45 Bringing It All Together: Clarity and Structure 09:08 Upcoming Free Training: Life First Client Attraction Formula 09:54 Conclusion and Call to Action This isn’t about working harder or posting more. It’s about structure. When your messaging, positioning, and next steps are clear, your effort compounds — and visibility starts turning into discovery calls, conversations, and clients. If you’re already showing up, you’re not behind.  You’re closer than you think.

    How to Build your Personal Brand as a Coach in 2026 (Without Burning Out) Ep.74

    You’ve heard it over and over again: “Personal branding is more important than ever.” And if you’re a purpose-led coach, you probably already know it’s true. But… if you’ve ever felt the pressure to overshare, show up everywhere, or perform a version of confidence that doesn’t feel real — this episode is for you. Because building a strong personal brand doesn’t have to fry your nervous system or take over your life. In this episode, we’re unpacking what personal branding actually means (especially in the wellness, health, and personal development space) — and how to do it in a way that feels grounded, sustainable, and aligned. This episode is for the coach who wants to be visible and build trust — without becoming an influencer or burning out. In this episode, we cover: Why personal branding matters more than ever in 2026What personal branding actually is (and what it’s not)How to show up with clarity and consistency — without being online 24/7What to share (and what you don’t have to)Why trust is your most powerful marketing asset in the AI content eraHow to be memorable without being loudA calm, clear approach to sharing your lived experience, values, and POVIf you’ve been holding back from visibility because the typical content strategies feel too much, too fake, or just not you — this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Because your personal brand doesn’t require more of you — it requires more clarity from you. A simple reflection to try after listening: Ask yourself:  💭 What do I want people to feel when they experience my brand?  Safe? Clear? Inspired? Grounded?  And is my content and presence online reflecting that? When your brand is consistent with the actual experience of working with you, that’s when real trust and traction starts to build.

    👉 You've Got the Biz Plan - How to Follow Through (Without Spinning) Ep.73

    You’ve done the planning.  You’ve set the goals.  You’ve mapped out your strategy… So how do you actually follow through? In this episode, we’re talking about the missing piece between having a business plan and seeing real momentum — and why execution often stalls, even when your strategy looks solid on paper. This episode is for the ambitious, purpose-led coach who wants to make real progress this year — without stalling, overthinking, or spinning her wheels. In this episode, we cover: Why your strategy should calm your nervous system, not activate it The difference between having a plan and being able to execute itThe 3 elements you need working together to follow through How to design systems that actually support your energy and real life Why mindset — not motivation — is usually the real blocker How to stop spinning in overthinking, self-doubt, and constant re-planning A simple belief-check exercise to increase certainty and ease Following through isn’t about pushing harder or being more disciplined. It’s about: a strategy that feels clear and doablesystems that reduce frictionand a mindset that supports action — even when things feel uncomfortableWhen those three are aligned, execution feels calmer, simpler, and more consistent. A simple reflection to try after listening Ask yourself: On a scale of 1–10, how strongly do I believe I can achieve my goals this year?If it’s not a 9 or 10 — what would help raise it?Better systems?Clearer strategy?More support?Mindset work?The stronger your belief, the easier follow-through becomes.
