    Your Permission to be Spiritual and Prosperous

    Krista dives into one of the biggest challenges she sees aspiring coaches and business owners face: charging for their work. After ten years of running her own coaching business and working with hundreds of coaches, she's learned that money fears aren't a sign that something is wrong. They're often a sign that you're growing. From guilt around charging and fears of being seen as greedy to the deeper beliefs many women carry about money, service, and self-worth, Krista shares the mindset shifts that helped her build a profitable coaching business while staying aligned with her values. She also explores why receiving is just as important as giving and why the real issue for many coaches isn't pricing—it's permission. In this episode: • Why so many spiritual women struggle to charge for their services and where those beliefs often come from • The difference between selling a session and creating transformation for your clients • How undercharging can lead to burnout, resentment, and a business that struggles to grow • Why receiving money for your work can be one of the most powerful forms of energetic exchangeThe deepest issue is rarely pricing. It's permission. Permission to be visible. Permission to receive. Permission to take up space. And permission to be both spiritual and prosperous at the same time. 🔗 Apply for the mastermind here →⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.borntocoach.org/mastermind⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔗 Learn more about the Born to Coach® Training Academy →⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.borntocoach.org/certification⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔗 DM Krista on Instagram with your favorite takeaway →⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/borntocoachacademy⁠

    From Hustle to Higher Guidance: How I bring Spiritual Practices into my Business

    Krista pulls back the curtain on something that has quietly shaped every major decision in her business for the last decade: spirituality. After a conversation with a prospective student who asked how spirituality fits into the Born to Coach Training Academy, Krista realized that what feels normal to her now is actually a completely different way of approaching business than most entrepreneurs have ever been taught. From intuition and meditation to psychics, journaling, gratitude, and trusting the nudges that don't always make logical sense, she shares how spiritual practices have helped her navigate uncertainty, make big decisions, find clients, and build a thriving coaching business. This isn't about following a specific religion or belief system. It's about learning how to tune out the noise, trust yourself, and create a business that's aligned with who you truly are. In this episode: Why spirituality has become one of Krista's most powerful business tools and how it helps her make decisions with more confidence and clarity The surprising psychic reading that predicted a major life transition and changed the course of her business forever Simple spiritual practices that can help you access guidance, trust your intuition, and stop overthinking every move The concept of client "soul contracts" and why the right clients often find you without forcing, chasing, or convincing How to build a business that feels more aligned, abundant, and sustainable by listening inward instead of constantly looking outside yourself for answers Wondered if there's another way to grow your business without constantly pushing harder? This episode offers a different perspective. One rooted in trust, alignment, and learning to listen to the wisdom that's already within you. 🔗 Apply for the mastermind here → ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.borntocoach.org/mastermind⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔗 Learn more about the Born to Coach® Training Academy → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.borntocoach.org/certification⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔗 DM Krista on Instagram with your favorite takeaway → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/borntocoachacademy⁠

    What the Costa Rican jungle taught me about authenticity and business

    A week in the Costa Rican jungle cracked something open in Krista and she’s not putting herself back together the same way! What began as a retreat experience turned into a deep unraveling of old identities, people-pleasing patterns, the need for male validation, and the lifelong habit of abandoning herself to be loved. Through sacred conversations, plant medicine, ecstatic dance, emotional breakthroughs, and witnessing the raw stories of others, Krista found herself confronting what authenticity actually looks like when you stop performing and start telling the truth. This episode is vulnerable, emotional, deeply reflective, and very much unfolding in real time. In this episode: The moments that became more healing than the retreat itselfLearning how to fully be yourself without needing everyone’s approvalReclaiming feminine power through movement, expression, and embodimentPregnancy, slowing down, and softening into a new season of lifeWhy authentic stories create deeper connection than polished perfection If you’ve been craving deeper connection, real honesty, and a place where you can finally stop holding it all together and just be yourself, this episode is for you. 🔗 Apply for the mastermind here →⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.borntocoach.org/mastermind⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔗 Learn more about the Born to Coach® Training Academy →⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.borntocoach.org/certification⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔗 DM Krista on Instagram with your favorite takeaway →⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/borntocoachacademy⁠

    From Victim to Creator: how to help your clients escape their drama triangle

    Krista opens up about a breakthrough that hit her at exactly the right time: the Drama Triangle. And once she saw it, she couldn’t unsee it. From relationships and family dynamics to coaching clients and codependency, this episode is a raw, honest look at how easily we fall into the roles of victim, rescuer, and persecutor and why those patterns keep us exhausted, stuck, and emotionally drained. Krista shares personal reflections about ending her romantic relationship while pregnant, navigating unsupportive reactions from family, and realizing that constantly rescuing, fixing, and over-explaining was costing her peace. The big shift? Moving from victim to creator. This episode is about radical self-awareness, boundaries, emotional responsibility, and learning how to stop participating in dynamics that keep everyone stuck. In this episode: Why the Drama Triangle keeps you stuck in exhausting relationship patterns and how to finally break free The sneaky ways people cycle through victim, rescuer, and persecutor roles without even realizing it How rescuing, fixing, and codependency actually disempower the people you’re trying to help The mindset shift coaches must make to stop over-helping and start creating real transformation How boundaries, self-awareness, and protecting your inner peace change everything in relationships, business, and life If you’ve been feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy dynamics, over-explaining yourself, or trying to save everyone around you, this episode will hit deep. And it might just help you finally choose yourself. Key Reminder From This Episode: You do not need to justify your healing to people who are uncomfortable with your growth. Sometimes the hardest, healthiest decision is the one that finally brings your nervous system peace.
