Are you a coach who's afraid to use the "T" word (Trauma) on your calls? Or you that trauma is a thing, that it happens, but not much more (because you’re not sure if you want to know more)? If any of this resonates (or you just want to know more about how, as coaches, we can support clients carrying trauma), this podcast is for you. Bringing our lack of understanding into the light is necessary to support ourselves—and clients—during calls. Now coach, I am NOT HERE to induce fear or paralysis in your coaching—bleh. I am here to help you 1) see what you’re potentially not seeing, 2) reaffirm 10000% that you absolutely can do something about it, and 3) reinforce the notion that we all start somewhere (it’s ok to be where you’re at right now)! There is SO MUCH you can do to support clients carrying trauma—as well as understanding the limitations we have as coaches—so that they can receive the care they are in search of. I believe that being Trauma-Informed is an Essential Standard of Care for every coach in the coaching industry. I have a vision of every coach being Trauma-Informed.

    Primary vs Secondary Trauma: What's more unseen?

    Primary vs Secondary Trauma: What's more unseen?

    Humans experience circumstances vastly differently. One person can internalize an event as traumatic while someone else who experiences the same doesn't. What is this all about? What is the difference between primary and secondary trauma? Does it matter? Which type of trauma tends to remain unseen (people don't recognize a need to get support after the traumatic event(s))? 
    As a coach (or any human), it's important to be aware of--especially with respect to current events. 
    In this episode you’ll learn:
    What primary and secondary trauma is.Why we sometimes fail to recognize or acknowledge trauma,Signs to help you recognize secondary trauma,More about secondary trauma I've been healing from, andSocietal expectations that condition us to minimize or ignore our trauma.

    Spending Money and the Sneaky Perfectionism that keeps us Stuck

    Spending Money and the Sneaky Perfectionism that keeps us Stuck

    I used to think I had to be thinner to go to the gym. That sneaky, perfectionistic belief can pop up in surprising ways with self-investment. I’ve had many clients come to me ashamed that they weren’t making “enough” money as a coach or didn’t have “enough” clients. In today’s episode I talk about this perfectionism and what it can look like, and ask questions to help you consider if money is one of the things holding you back from investing in yourself. We then talk about what beliefs you might need to release to open yourself up to receiving everything you’re deserving of. You don’t have to have everything figured out perfectly before investing, or going to the gym, or starting or doing the new thing you want to do.

    In this episode you'll learn about:
    How that perfectionism can show up,Questions to consider if money is holding you back, andBeliefs you may need to release to open yourself up to receiving.

    Healing from Religious Ruptures (when Perfectionism didn't cut it); with with Beth Schild

    Today’s episode is all about healing, and parts of the healing journey that aren’t always talked about. I’m joined by Beth Schild, an empowerment and self love coach. Beth is actually an alumnus from my very first Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification as well. Beth bravely shares her experiences with childhood and religious trauma, and how being trauma informed has shifted the trajectory of her career.

    Before and After Trauma-Informed Coaching with Hailee Mae

    Before and After Trauma-Informed Coaching with Hailee Mae

    Today’s episode is a really powerful conversation with my dear friend, Hailee. Some organizations, religions, or systems like to promise certainty. “Do things this way, and then you’ll get that result”. But what if it doesn’t work that way for all people? We are multidimensional beings, so it makes sense that different things will work for different people. Hailee and I discuss the before and after deconstructing that idea that there’s one tool or one way to heal and get the results you want. As humans, we crave certainty. But at what cost? Hailee bravely shares how scary it can be to lean into your intuition but when you do, it can bring so much goodness, knowledge, beauty, and healing into the world.

    How trauma affects the WHOLE BODY + a Special Announcement!

    How trauma affects the WHOLE BODY + a Special Announcement!

    When not processed or acknowledged, trauma can impact our whole body. Body, mind, brain, nervous system, all of it. Today’s episode will explain and illustrate examples of how this can happen and affect us mentally, physically, and spiritually.

    This is why simply being a Certified Coach in 2024 isn't cutting it. Clients are smarter consumers and demanding/expecting more. This is one reason why being trauma-informed matters, so we can meet clients where they're at.

    Are you one of these coaches opting into more than mindset work? If so, make sure you tune in for my special announcement and how you can take this work to the next level [pssstt! It has to do with my next round of certification starting soon . . . ;) ].

    How to live with Grief or Loss right now [Holiday Special]

    So many of us are carrying a lot right now, am I right? During the holidays, many of us become acutely aware of varied grief & loss that we're carrying or experiencing. This episode is meant to validate you wherever you are with respect to your grief, and to normalize how common it is.

    And . . . you don't have to go through it alone! I have created a FREE GRIEF & GRATITUDE pop-up Facebook Group because, no one needs to carry loss or grief on their own--no one.  It is my hope you’ll feel validated and grant yourself  the permission available to open yourself to process any grief--as it feels safe for you. 
    In this episode I discuss:
    Examples of how grief can show up around the holidays,The importance of processing grief,Truths (and myths) about grief, andA SURPRISE gift to have more support right NOW!  Want more support processing and living with your grief this holiday season? Join my pop-up holiday grief group. Don't go it alone, friend.

Jahave ,

Such an important podcast for coaches!

Thank you Lindsay for putting this work out into the world! The episodes are so helpful. Not only are your perspectives great but I love that you offer ideas and different ways we can work with our clients to become the most loving, understanding, and effective coach!
I love how you bring such warm energy to what could be a “heavy” topic like trauma. It’s so wonderful learning from you!
