You're a coach. Now let's get you clients on repeat. Welcome to The Divorce Revolution, the podcast for coaches who want to sign clients on repeat without ads, constant posting, or cringe sales tactics. Hosted by Amber Shaw, the Queen of Pre-Selling. The title comes from where my business actually started. After my own divorce, I was lost, broke, and had no idea how I was going to support my kids on my own. I wasn't just grieving my marriage, I was grieving my identity, my security, and the version of me who thought someone else would always have my back. So I did what most women are never taught to do. I rebuilt my life, my confidence, and my income from the ground up by starting an online coaching business. And it changed everything. What I learned along the way is the thing most coaches in this space don't teach: the work that actually signs clients isn't the pitch. It's everything before the pitch. Your messaging. Your content. Your DMs. Your story. The whole ecosystem that makes the sale feel obvious by the time someone is on a call with you. That's the pre-sell. And it's the entire reason I exist. This podcast is for the coach who's tired of posting and getting crickets. The coach who's invested in courses, certifications, and trainings and still can't figure out why none of it is turning into consistent clients. The coach who doesn't want to run ads, do giant launches, or feel slimy in the DMs. The coach who wants a system that actually works without selling her soul. Each episode digs into the real stuff. Messaging that signs clients. Content that doesn't get ignored. DM conversations that don't feel awkward. Sales calls that don't feel like sales calls. Mindset, money, confidence, identity, visibility, and what it actually takes to build a coaching business that pays you back. Because the sale isn't where the magic happens. Everything before it is. If you're ready to stop guessing and start signing clients on repeat, you're in the right place. Welcome to the Revolution. Let's do this.

    477. Why Your Freebie Isn't Converting (And What to Fix First)

    If your freebie isn't turning into clients, the problem is probably not what you think.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down why so many coaches assume they need to create a brand new freebie…when the real issue is usually somewhere else in the process.   Because I see this happen all the time.   A coach creates a freebie, promotes it for a little while, doesn't immediately get traction  and then decides the answer is to create another one. And then another one. Until suddenly they have 10 freebies and still no consistent leads or clients.   But the truth is, your freebie doesn't exist in isolation.   There's an entire process that has to work around it—from people seeing it, understanding it, wanting it, downloading it, consuming it, and then actually taking the next step with you.   And if one part of that process breaks down, the whole thing feels like it's "not converting."   In this episode, I walk you through the full freebie funnel, the five biggest areas where things usually go wrong, and how to actually diagnose the problem before you throw your current freebie away and start over.   Resources Mentioned: Episode 475.

    476. How to Create a Freebie That Actually Attracts Buyers (Not Freebie Hunters)

    Your freebie might be getting downloads but is it attracting actual buyers?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm continuing the freebie series and breaking down how to create a freebie that brings in the right people—not just people who love collecting free stuff.   Because a lot of coaches create freebies backwards.   They start by asking things like: "What should I give?" "What would be valuable?" "What should I include?"   But that's not the right starting point.   The real question is: "What hyper-specific problem is my ideal client desperately trying to solve right now?"   In this episode, I walk you through the difference between freebies that attract serious buyers versus freebies that attract people who just want more information. We talk about why specificity matters so much, how to create a compelling promise, and why the goal of a freebie is not to teach everything—it's to solve one urgent problem and create a quick win.   If you've been thinking about creating a freebie, or you already have one that's attracting the wrong people (or not converting at all), this episode is going to help you completely rethink how you approach it.   Resources Mentioned: Episode 475.

    475. What a Freebie Actually Does (And Why Most Don't Work)

    You created a freebie…so why isn't it leading to clients?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm kicking off a brand new series all about freebies—what they're actually supposed to do in your business, why so many of them fall flat, and how to use them the right way so they actually generate leads and clients.   Because I see this all the time—coaches spending hours creating guides, PDFs, or templates…only to end up with something that gets a few downloads (maybe), but doesn't actually move anyone forward.   If you've created a freebie that isn't leading to clients or you're thinking about creating one but want to do it right the first time, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Join the waitlist for ReNewU, my signature group program for divorced moms ready to launch a coaching business that actually pays: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist Higher Infrared Sauna Blanket use code AMBER 15: https://higherdose.com/products/infrared-sauna-blanket   What I Discuss: 02:02 Why freebies actually matter in your business 03:10 The prerequisites you need before creating one 05:05 What a freebie is really supposed to do 05:58 The three core jobs every freebie needs to have 09:07 The biggest reasons most freebies don't work 11:44 Why your freebie needs to align with your offer 13:48 What you should actually measure (instead of downloads) 14:46 Your action step to audit your current freebie 15:18 What's coming next in this freebie series   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

    474. The 3 Non-Negotiables of a Coaching Business That Actually Gets Clients

    You're doing all the things…so why aren't clients happening consistently?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down what I call the three non-negotiables—the foundational pieces that actually determine whether your coaching business gets clients or stays stuck in what I call the "messy middle."   Because I know how frustrating it is to feel like you're showing up, posting, and doing what you think you're supposed to be doing but nothing is really moving. No traction, no consistent clients, and definitely no momentum.   And the truth is, it's usually not because you need another strategy or some new "shiny" tactic. It almost always comes down to a breakdown in one (or more) of these three core areas.   So in this episode, I walk you through what those non-negotiables are, how to identify which one might be off in your business, and why focusing here is what actually creates progress—not jumping from one strategy to the next.   If you've been stuck in the messy middle and wondering what's actually broken in your business, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Book your FREE Diagnostic Call: https://calendly.com/amber-shaw/client-traction-diagnostic   What I Discuss: 01:05 What the "messy middle" really looks like (and why it's so frustrating) 02:12 The unsexy truths about building a coaching business 04:01 The 3 non-negotiables every coaching business needs 08:16 Why your niche and messaging are ground zero 12:05 Creating an offer people actually say "yes" to 15:21 Building a system that turns visibility into clients 18:13 How to identify what's actually broken in your business 20:15 Next steps if you're ready to fix it   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

    473. How to Create Messaging That Makes People Think "This Is Me"… And Want to Work With You

    Have you ever read a post and thought…"Wait, is this talking about me?"   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down what it actually takes to create messaging that makes your ideal client feel seen, understood, and ready to work with you—because they genuinely feel like you get them.   If you've been posting consistently but not getting traction—or you feel like your content just isn't landing the way it should—this episode is going to show you exactly where to start.   Resources Mentioned: Save your seat on the FREE DM Dollars live business training: https://products.ambershaw.com/dm-dollars   What I Discuss: 02:14 What messaging actually means (and why it feels so hard) 03:56 Why most coaches miss the mark with their messaging 05:30 A real example of messaging that sounds good but doesn't convert 07:19 Why you need to lead with the real, front-facing problem 09:40 Why hyper-specific messaging always wins over generic content 10:18 A weight loss coaching example that will shift how you think about messaging 13:02 The truth about "saturation" and why you're not actually blending in 15:53 How niching down makes your messaging more powerful (not limiting) 17:27 The difference between relatable vs relevant content   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

    472. The 3 Biggest Mistakes Coaches Make in the DMs (That Cost You Clients)

    You're getting people in your DMs…so why aren't they turning into clients?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down one of the most frustrating parts of building a coaching business—when you're finally getting engagement, conversations are happening but nothing is converting.   Because the truth is, a lot of coaches think the problem is their content. But what I see over and over again is that the breakdown actually happens inside the DMs—in how those conversations are being handled.   And I get it. Nobody really teaches you how to do this. You're trying to be helpful, you don't want to be pushy, and you're just kind of figuring it out as you go. But there are a few very specific mistakes that are quietly costing you clients.   In this episode, I walk you through the three biggest ones I see all the time—why they happen, and what to do instead so you can start leading these conversations in a way that actually moves people forward.   Resources Mentioned: Save your seat on the FREE DM Dollars live business training: https://products.ambershaw.com/dm-dollars   What I Discuss: 02:37 Why the sales process actually starts before the call 04:51 The first mistake I see coaches make in the DMs 07:11 The second mistake that keeps conversations stuck 08:59 The third mistake that turns people off too soon 13:35 How to guide a DM conversation with intention   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

    471. What Louis Vuitton Has to Do With Starting My Business

    This episode is a little different. It's not just strategy—it's the real, behind-the-scenes of what it looked like for me navigating divorce, financial fear, and the decision to invest in myself when I felt anything but ready.   Today, I'm sharing a very personal story from one of the hardest seasons of my life and how a moment involving a Louis Vuitton bag completely changed the way I think about money, fear, and betting on myself.   If you've been holding back, overthinking, or waiting until you feel "ready" to take the next step in your business, this is your reminder that you don't need more time—you need a decision.   Resources Mentioned: Save your seat on the FREE DM Dollars live business training: https://products.ambershaw.com/dm-dollars   What I Discuss: 02:16 The reality of divorce and financial fear 05:57 The Louis Vuitton moment that changed everything 08:19 Rebuilding self-trust and shifting your money mindset 09:29 Why investing in mentorship changed my business 10:09 How fear is actually the thing holding you back 12:36 Why you need to lean into fear and do it anyway   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

    470. The $1,000 Decision Every New Coach Has to Make

    At some point, you have to stop "trying" to build a coaching business…and decide you're actually doing it.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about what I call the $1,000 decision—the moment where you stop treating your business like something you're testing out and start committing to it like it's happening, no matter what.   Because I see this all the time with new coaches. On the surface, it looks like you're doing the work—you're posting, learning, tweaking, trying. But underneath it, there's still hesitation. Still second guessing. Still a part of you that's in "practice mode."   And that's exactly what keeps you stuck.   In this episode, I break down what that shift actually looks like, how to start thinking like a CEO instead of someone just "trying," and why confidence doesn't come before momentum—it comes because of it.   If you've been stuck in "practice mode" and wondering why your business isn't moving forward, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Join the waitlist for ReNewU, my signature group program for divorced moms ready to launch a coaching business that actually pays: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist   What I Discuss: 01:57 What the "$1,000 decision" actually is 02:49 What it looks like to be stuck in practice mode 04:36 The mindset shift from trying → CEO 06:53 The actions that actually create traction 08:48 The one question you need to ask yourself 09:46 Why you need to stop self-diagnosing everything   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com
