    Ep. 180 - Finding Inner Trust As You Guide Others | Behind The Scenes

    What can you do when you find yourself in a position where a client presents something they’re struggling with that you haven’t come close to resolving within yourself?

    At some point we all arrive in this uncomfortable place with a client. At first, we may straight up avoid poking that bear because we feel too unqualified to support our clients through something we clearly haven’t found the answers to. But do you need to resolve everything in your life before helping a client with that same thing?

    On the other side of the same coin, what can you do when your client feels so opposite to who you see yourself to be? Can you still powerfully coach someone into a deep transformation when you don’t have the ability to relate to where they are + where they’re trying to go?

    Ep. 179 - Are You Longing for Space + Presence?

    Ep. 179 - Are You Longing for Space + Presence?

    Something that feels really alive within me right now and I've witnessed being mirrored back to me from many of you is this longing for space....

    ...this craving for presence within that space, and the permission to take up space without feeling guilty for what we're not doing with that time.

    There are many layers to this that I have personally been moving through recently that I want to share with you from personal experience in hopes that it will allow you to explore this for yourself.

    I think for many of us, the idea of having space in our schedule feels like this far off fantasy. It feels like this dream scape, this poetic reality that 'one day if I work hard enough' space will be my reward. But, I know from personal experience, that is just simply not the case.  From my heart to yours, let this episode land as you need it to.

    Ep. 178 - The Truth About Burnout | Behind The Scenes

    Ep. 178 - The Truth About Burnout | Behind The Scenes

    We’ve all experienced those periods of painful disinterest, lack of desire to work towards what we say we want and overall discomfort with our present situation without the “energy” we think is required to escape it.

    Especially as business owners, it’s easy to fall victim to the pressure to push forward and do something (literally anything) to numb the discomfort of staying where we are… which sometimes just means “doing” unhelpful things like scrolling, unnecessarily working and keeping our minds busy in any way we can.

    In this session, we discuss what we call “burnout” and what it really is (and isn’t), why our typical approach to moving through it is temporary at best, ineffective or even harmful at worst and offer some ways you can be with yourself and explore these periods differently.

    Ep. 177 - Why Curiosity Is The Skill You Need

    Ep. 177 - Why Curiosity Is The Skill You Need

    The moment you decide as a coach that you are no longer okay skirting along the surface, offering your clients the expected external result that they've come to crave, and you actually want to take them beneath the surface to better understand the inner workings of their mind, the inner workings of their emotions and how they're orienting to the world...curiosity needs to come into play. 

    In this episode, we're going to explore curiosity and awareness through the lens of coaching. 

    Take this approach on your next coaching interaction and see how it lands...and if you need further support, grab the links below.

    Ep. 176 - Community Creation Visualization | Behind The Scenes

    Ep. 176 - Community Creation Visualization | Behind The Scenes

    This is a clip from our new workshop inside The Secret Garden. This month we explored strengthening our business through building community. 

    In this episode, Laura takes us on a journey through a visualization practice that she guided us through in the workshop. 

    This visualization is designed to tap into your value system, what you envision yourself holding experientially for your people, and creating an opportunity to experience what it might look like and feel like from the position of your client.

    We recommend setting yourself up in a cozy space for this experience and allowing yourself time to process what comes up for you.

    In today's episode, Laura takes us through a journey of common, relatable experiences we have when we're seeking alignment in our coaching business, both internally & externally.

    You will go through many phases on your journey, and as Laura gently reminds us in this episode, it's all about how we are with ourselves in these moments of awareness.

Beyond good

Laura makes me really think. About myself, my insecurities, my doubts, my potential, my ability to impact others - she encourages it all and it’s beautiful to experience. I am so happy to have found her and her work!!

Laura is a gem!

If you want to be a coach that goes beyond what you learned in nutrition school and want to help your clients at a deeper level, understanding where their behaviors come from and how to help them realize and release those patterns that keep them stuck in old habits, Laura’s podcast Expand is a great start and her program Trigger Mapping your graduation. Laura has such a beautiful way to teach you how to allow yourself to be a different coach and an ease to explain those deeper concepts that make all the difference. She is one of my favorite and most important mentors. Get to know her, you’ll love her and her resources as much as I do.
