[Podcast 7] Organizing in Overwhelming Times with Caroline Clark

Hi Friends,

In this episode of the podcast, I interview my client Caroline Clark of OverwhelmedOrganizing.com 

Why in the world would I want to talk with you about organizing at a time like this? 

After all, we are in the middle of a pandemic, recession, civil unrest and oh let's not forget figuring out what your kids will be doing in the fall.

Well, come find out! 

In this informal interview we discuss the following:

How home organizing can impact your business and ability to contribute to what matters most 

Why home organizing can be an act of self-care and not about the right containers 

What blocks most creative women who lead from organizing their homes (it's not what you think)

Why it doesn't have to be a big pile to feel weighed down and create unnecessary mental clutter

Why I worked with a series of professional organizers at different stages of my business

The 3 steps to home organization that gets you unstuck and moving forward, yet still feels artful and authentic 

And lots more!

Come have a listen here.

[Podcast 6] Appreciation

I hope your travels or homebound adventures are going well for you this Thanksgiving holiday.

Drew and I recorded a short and sweet podcast episode yesterday all about Appreciation.

We discussed...

• A small, but mighty coachy-coach distinction on gratitude vs appreciation (and why you might go for appreciation instead!)

• A breakdown of what we most appreciate about having a coaching business for over 20 years (24 for Drew!) and funding our lives this way (May this inspire you to take a moment to bask in your own creations!)

• A personal share of how coaching landed me a husband (hehe)

Grab your phone and take us out for a stroll when you need a break from your T-day.

(Some of my Instagram friends shared they listen while folding laundry and while they do some Thanksgiving cooking. I also love turning the mundane into something special with a good podcast in my ears.)

[Podcast 5] Decide

In this episode I interview Drew about his new book: Decide! Activate Your Inner Superpower to Make Very Cool Sh*t Happen.

Deciding and mastering this ONE SKILL can elevate your coaching business in a variety of essential ways.

Things like...

Your niche...

Your marketing...

Your income...

Your satisfaction and experiencing what winning FEELS like for YOU...

And of course your relationships, health and more.

Listen in as we cover topics like:

The 3 practical, Law of Attraction based-strategies for making cool stuff happen in your coaching business (and life!)

Why deciding is so hard...

How deciding is all about a point of focus vs right or wrong...

A behind-the-scenes story of our relationship and "deciding"...

How deciding is about aligning with your decision, again and again and again...

How the Law of Attraction (or Quantum Mechanics) isn't about feeling good at all times or controlling your thoughts...

How the Thought-Feelings-Action cycle impacts deciding, aligning and allowing the cool stuff you want to manifest...

Why actions alone won't cut it in a coaching business...

And simple, unconventional ways for you to leverage the power of deciding in your coaching business and life.

Did I mention this makes a great holiday gift?

[Podcast 3] Dealing with Uncertainty

Drew and I recorded the next episode of our Happy Little Practice podcast and it's ready for you.

Here's the link to listen. 

This one's all about dealing with uncertainty for those coach for a living.

Things like: 

- How uncertainty shows up for coaches (new and experienced coaches like me and my husband - we're 20+ years in!)

- Why we need to stop fighting or running from uncertainty and what happens when you resist this

- How uncertainty never goes away but what you're uncertain about changes and evolves

- How uncertainty comes with evolving and growing your business, and a few ways to prepare for this

- The ways Drew and I allow uncertainty to exist in business (and life!) AND still show up for our business 

- Simple practices, routines and perspective shifts that can help steady and encourage you in your professional coaching journey, in the Happy Little Practice way.

Listen here.

At the end of the episode, you'll also hear what Drew and I are up to these days.

Hope this is useful! 

[Podcast 2] Vision

Do you have a vision for your coaching practice?

What is it really?

And how is it different from a goal?

Do you have the kind of vision that is pushing you from behind or pulling you forward?

How do you ground your vision so it feels real and doable?

Could what you don't want in life and work, be a lead in to what you really want?

And could having a clear vision be the fuel to help you see things through in your business (and life!)?

How do you get out of the rat race of chasing fame and fortune (chasing BIG) with your unique vision?

In this episode of the Happy Little Practice podcast, we talk vision, how to connect to what's at stake for you and creating your future.

Whether you're a new coach, experienced coach or just someone who wants a coach, this short episode.

[Podcast 1] What it Takes

The profession of coaching has given my life just about everything.

I met my husband at a coaching conference, some 17 years ago. The founder of personal coaching was teaching, live and in-person, the great Thomas J. Leonard.

I had my first experience of real community and purpose through coaching.

I have met some of my very best friends from coaching.

I have supported myself and my family, earning nearly 2 million dollars through coaching alone, over 20 years.

Together, Drew and I have been at the coaching game for 40+ years, and we like to think we have some insights to share about the profession.

We just recorded the first episode of our new podcast, Happy Little Practice, where our goal is to show you "the stuff behind the stuff" when it comes to building a sustainable, happy, and profitable coaching practice.

On this first episode, we discuss some of the fundamental mindsets required to make it in private practice.

It's informal, there are no fancy intros and outros, and it's pretty darn solid and enjoyable to listen to, if I do say so myself.

You may even hear Buddy the Cat make an appearance. (Because I'm a pro and the kittehs rule.) ;)

Happy Little Practice: Where moms in coaching create a small, simple, business that makes a difference, makes great money and makes their family happy too.

PS - If you're new to podcasts, this is a great way to get started. I listen to them on my evening walks, while folding laundry, when I'm cooking or while driving. I have found them to be a wonderful source of inspiration, insight and mindset game changer. Drew listens during his daily morning workout and while working on house projects and making our home beautiful.
