Courage and Spice for Coaches: build your Self-belief and Business in under 30mins a week

What if the problem isn't that you're not doing enough, but that you're measuring success by entirely the wrong things?
There is this weird fetishisation of productivity (probs encouraged by the combo of AI, capitalism, and Steven Bartlett), where unless you're up at 4am squeezing everything out of every moment, what are you even doing? 
But what if we don't actually want to become more efficient, moist robots?
As a recovering overfunctioner, I've spent the last year experimenting with a different way of running my coaching business. One that's making me more consistent, more creative, and, amazingly, a whole lot happier.
In this episode, I'm sharing what's changing, what I'm learning, and five ideas for you to borrow if they feel good to you.

What if all that thinking, planning and preparing for your coaching practice, is actually what's keeping you from creating it?

In this episode, we're exploring one of the most fascinating aspects of the psychology of behavioural change: the preparation stage. It's where all our lovely planning, learning and researching can become a really sophisticated way of keeping us stuck.

We'll explore how we can create the conditions to do the things that really matter to us.

At the heart of this ep is what it means to back yourself when you don't have any evidence yet, whether it's your business or your body. 
Sometimes we need to borrow belief from someone else, which is why having a coach is often so bloody life-changing.
If you've ever said to yourself: “I’m just not that kind of person” listen in!
Becasue me! I HAVE! I have never been a gym person. Never understood how to properly take care of my body (without falling into some weird restriction/ permission cycle). Never understood that exercise could actually be fun, never mind something I would look forward to.
But here we are. And the woman I have to thank is my coach, Sarah Knight.
Sarah is a strength and transformation coach whose work has literally changed my life. She is an aces Macunian with the biggest brain and heart and I am so glad she was up for this chat. 

Meet Sarah: @sarahk_coaching
Sarah Knight: a Strength & Transformation coach for women over 30 💪 who are looking to create a transformation not just in their physique or weight, but to transform their relationship with exercise, nutrition, their inner voice and themselves!

What happens when you pour your heart, energy and hopes into something, and the results fall well short of what you wanted? I recently launched the Self-belief Coaching Academy hoping to fill 12 places and generate £80k. This did NOT happen. 
In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what actually happened: the marketing that didn't quite work, the unexpected life stuff, the disappointment, and the lessons I'm taking into my next chapter. And why, despite missing my target by a mile, I'm genuinely celebrating. Because running a coaching business is hard, things don't always go to plan, and I think it's time we stopped making disappointing results mean we've failed.

What happens when you take what you learn in a coach training + make it your own?
In this episode, I’m sharing snippets from conversations with SBCA graduates who are using this work in brilliantly different ways — from a money mentor, a couples therapist, and coaches working with teenagers, relationships and leaders.
We talk about what the training has made possible in their coaching, the difference between confidence + self-trust, and how understanding what sits underneath self-doubt has shaped the way they work with their clients.
If you’re curious about SBCA + want a peek at what this work could look like woven into YOUR coaching medicine, this one’s for you.
The next Self-Belief Coaching Academy begins 5th October. Get in touch if you’d like to know more!
Self-belief Coaching Academy is ENROLLING NOW!
