    From Weight Loss Coach to Emotional Mastery: Diana Murphy on Doing Things Her Way After 11 Years

    Diana Murphy was working 50 hours a week in her business, trying to do it the "right" way, and wondering why it didn't feel like her. She started as a weight loss coach (she even had a podcast called "Weight Loss for CEOs"), evolved into helping corporate executives open fractional businesses, and now works with high-capacity leaders navigating disruptive shifts in their careers and lives. In this episode, Diana shares her 11-year journey and what happened when she finally stopped trying to scale the way everyone said she should and started doing things her way. She reveals: → How her background with the Gallup organization and StrengthsFinder planted the seed for coaching → Why she struggled when scaling was taught as the only path to success → The year she hit $97K and told her coach she "didn't make $100K" (and her coach's response) → The year she made $60K during her divorce and what happened when she doubled down on loving her clients (every single one renewed) → Why she no longer makes money goals and focuses on impact energy instead → Her tagline: "I'm the coach when shift hits the fan" (whether it's the shift you choose or the one that happens to you) → Why waiting is a false concept and might just be your nervous system trying to feel okay → How to embody your next level self by picturing your ideal day when everything is working Diana's approach is refreshingly honest: trust your own evolution, do what lights you up, and stop looking for permission to do things your way. After 11 years, the last 5 have been the most fun because she finally embraced who she actually is. About Diana Murphy: Diana Murphy is an emotional mastery and mindset coach who works with leaders and executives navigating disruptive shifts in their careers and lives. She's been serving as an executive and life coach for over 11 years. What sets Diana apart is her authentic approach: she only uses coaching tools she's mastered in her own life first.

    From Corporate to Multi-Six-Figure Coach: Jennifer Flynn on Alignment Over "Shoulds"

    Jennifer Flynn didn't start her coaching business under perfect conditions—and she'll be the first to tell you that perfect conditions don't exist. In this episode, Jennifer shares the real, raw story of building a multi-six-figure coaching business while navigating a 20-year marriage ending, COVID hitting, single parenting, and homeschooling a child with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. At one point, she was couch surfing for 15 months with a kid in tow—and still keeping her business running. Jennifer is known as The Balance Maven, and she helps high-performing founders evolve their 7-figure businesses into aligned, soul-led enterprises that give more than they take. Her approach? Grounded strategy, soul-sourced clarity, and the occasional velvet hammer. What I love about Jennifer's story is her fierce commitment to building a business that serves her life—not the other way around. She's proof that you can create incredible success even when life isn't handing you perfect conditions. In this episode, we talk about: How Jennifer accidentally got into coaching after being tapped on the shoulder for her resultsLeaving a salaried job with 6 weeks vacation to double her income in year oneWhy she shifted from 3-month to 12-month programs and the impact that hadThe biggest decision that moved the needle: putting herself firstNavigating divorce, COVID, homeschooling, and business all at onceWhat "The Balance Maven" really means and how she lives itWhy the velvet hammer works with high-performing foundersHer advice: "Do it scared. Do it imperfectly. Just effing do it."Connect with Jennifer:» Website

    From Clinician to 6-Figure Coach: Melissa Schulz on Shedding the "Sales Is Icky" Belief and Hitting Six Figures

    Melissa Schulz built a behavioral health company from scratch, grew it to 75 employees, and then walked away from it all to start over as a parenting coach. Why? Because she kept handing parents beautiful behavior plans that worked perfectly—and then watching them struggle to implement them in real life. She knew there had to be a better way. In this episode, Melissa shares the real journey of building her second six-figure business from the ground up—starting as a side hustle in 2020, selling her first business in 2023, and hitting back-to-back six-figure years in 2024 and 2025. She gets honest about what surprised her most: this was harder and took longer than she expected. But she also shares why it's been worth every moment of growth. In this episode, we talk about: Why Melissa left a thriving 75-employee business to start completely overThe gap she saw between giving parents the "perfect plan" and actual lasting transformationHow she navigated feeling inauthentic selling parenting coaching while her own kid was strugglingThe identity shift from "I'm a clinician, not a salesperson" to embracing sales as serviceWhy her income is directly tied to where she is emotionally—and how that changed everythingLetting go of timelines while still holding goalsWhat she'd tell her 2020 self: "It's all worth it"Connect with Melissa: Website: melissaschulz.comInstagram: @confidentlymomminFacebook: @confidentlymomminFree Gift: How to Get Kids to Listen E-Guide

    From Stay-at-Home Mom to $400k Divorce Mentor: Meagan McNally Norris on Ripping Up the Survival Plan and Becoming Relentlessly Yourself

    Meagan Norris had just finished a therapy session where her therapist spent the entire hour planning her "survival of the next year of hell." She took dutiful notes—type A to the core—ready to be the best student of suffering. Then she got done with that therapy session and heard a voice: "Wait a minute. What if it doesn't have to be this way?" She ripped up the list. In this episode, Meagan shares how she went from 12 years as a stay-at-home mom with a dormant law degree and zero income to building a $400k divorce coaching business as a single mom of three—all while refusing to let her divorce become the tragedy everyone expected. Meagan reveals: → The moment of "divine intervention" that made her question everything her therapist said—and how deciding it wouldn't be a year of hell changed the entire trajectory of her life → Why she chose to build a coaching business instead of going back to law (even though going back would have put her family at poverty level as an associate attorney) → The 6 months she spent processing her divorce in real time—sitting on the couch crying, journaling, feeling everything—and why that "slowing down" actually accelerated her results → How her coach's one question ("Tell me about your divorce") instantly revealed the niche she'd been sitting on the whole time → The belief that changed everything: "Any limitation in your current circumstances—kids, money, where you live—is actually your greatest asset" → Why she calls herself a "time witch" and how she gets more done in less time than should make sense to people → The identity shift she knew she had to make: "I had to be relentless, almost feral, in my pursuit of this identity"—creating over 1,000 pieces of content, doing hundreds of consultations, teaching masterclasses sick and with moving boxes behind her → Her journey from $6k packages to $25k packages—and why raising her prices "accidentally" built massive demand for her lower-ticket offers → The counterintuitive move of shutting down a profitable offer to create space—and why she's never been more grateful for that decision Meagan's core philosophy: "I don't let my emotions make decisions for me." She's felt the scarcity, the fear, the uncertainty of being a single mom building something from nothing. She just doesn't let those feelings run the show. About Meagan Norris:Meagan is a former lawyer and leading divorce mentor for high-achieving women who refuse to let divorce diminish their power. After finalizing her own divorce in six months and building her business as a single mom of three, she now guides women to create a post-divorce life that is richer, freer, and more aligned with who they really are. Her work blends emotional mastery, strategic legal insight, wealth energetics, and quantum timeline shifts to help women collapse years of healing and reinvention—and accelerate into lives so good it doesn't make sense. Meagan teaches one core truth: when a woman divorces her old identity—not just the man—she unlocks a level of wealth, leadership, and personal liberation that defies logic.

    From Pharmaceutical Sales to Half a Million: Laura Conley "The Fun Weight Loss Coach" on Ditching the Rule Book and Trusting Your Inner Knowing

    Laura Conley was stepping out of her first shower in a month—she'd been living in a hospital room with her newborn daughter who had major health complications. Six weeks postpartum, she caught herself beating herself up for not "bouncing back" into her pre-baby jeans fast enough. That moment changed everything. She realized: "I'm going to pass this down to her if I don't heal this." In this episode, Laura shares how she went from burnt-out pharmaceutical sales rep to building a half-million dollar coaching business helping moms lose weight for the last time—while picking her kids up from the bus every day, stuffing folders at their school, and refusing to send them to aftercare just to "hustle more." Laura reveals: → The rule book she accidentally subscribed to for years—"one simple scalable offer"—and the wake-up call that made her realize she was outsourcing her own inner knowing → How she went from $90k to $420k in one year by doing one bold, scary thing: texting Kelly LeVeque to ask to be on her podcast (and what her husband said that made her finally hit send) → The "midlife crisis" launch that flopped and exposed she'd been tying her money-making ability to her self-worth—and what shifted when she realized her dad never actually cared about her revenue → Why she now asks herself every week: "What's the biggest needle mover?"—and caps her calendar at 3 meetings per day max → Her philosophy on building business around your life: "I created this business knowing I was going to have kids. Why am I sending them to aftercare so I can hustle more to prove I'm valuable?" → The question she's playing with now: "How good does it get to get?" Laura's approach is refreshingly anti-rule-book. She looks at her phone when she wakes up (because she loves it), journals every morning, picks her kids up from the bus every day, and trusts that her intuition IS the strategy. About Laura Conley:Laura Conley is the founder of the Yummy Mummy Weight Loss Method, which has successfully helped hundreds of women lose weight for the last time. Lovingly labeled "The Fun Weight Loss Coach" by her clients, Laura helps mamas struggling with diet drama to free themselves from food chatter forever—all from a place of love. Her mission: help moms pass down a beautiful legacy to their children instead of passing down the struggle with food and body image. Laura is the host of the top 1.5% podcast "Lose Weight for the Last Time" and has been featured on the Be Well By Kelly Podcast with Kelly LeVeque and The Earn Your Happy Podcast with Lori Harder. She's worked with brands like Uber, Nike, and Twitter.

    From Waitress to Million Dollar Coach: Sarah Plowman on Being Unapologetically Yourself

    Sarah Plowman was a stay-at-home mom going through a divorce, waiting tables part-time, and had never made more than $42,000 a year in her life. She didn't see herself as a six-figure earner - not even close. Then her mom said five words that changed everything: "You'd make a great life coach." In this episode - the very first Embodied Success Call ever recorded inside The Embodied Society - Sarah shares how she went from waitress and single mom to crossing $1 million cash collected in her coaching business in just 4.5 years. She reveals: → The thought that broke her brain when she saw other coaches making $100k MONTHS - and how she refused to let her "reasons why not" stop her → Why her first $100k took 15 months but her second $100k only took 4 months → How she went from $3k packages to signing $100k clients - without adding more time or bells and whistles → The moment her throat closed up making her first $15k offer (and why she did it anyway) → Why she stopped judging her desires for money and attention - and how that unlocked everything → Her philosophy on "how" being a question you answer in retrospect, not in advance → What it actually looks like to live like a "kept woman" while doing the keeping herself Sarah's approach is refreshingly simple: know your desire, be honest about it, take action before you feel ready, and refuse to make your story wrong. Now she works 6 hours a week on Zoom, homeschools her two boys, dances ballet twice a week, and starts her Mondays at the spa. About Sarah Plowman:Sarah Plowman is a single mom/waitress turned million dollar mentor. She built a 7-figure online coaching brand by focusing on doing things her way rather than the right way. She helps coaches attract and sign high ticket clients, doubling the white space on their calendar (and in their brain), and helps them stop worrying what people think so they can enjoy TF out of being unapologetically them.
