The Divorce Revolution

Have you ever started your coaching business with a clear vision only to realize it doesn't look anything like what you imagined?
 
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I talk about a reality that most successful coaches don't share enough: at some point, you will likely have to let go of the version of the business you originally pictured. Not because you're failing—but because you're learning, evolving, and discovering what actually works. 
 
If you've been questioning whether you're doing something wrong because your business doesn't look the way you thought it would by now, then this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I talk about the shift that has to happen if you want clients this spring. Because at some point, building a coaching business stops being about organizing your content, fixing your bio, or cleaning things up behind the scenes…and starts being about actually creating momentum.
 
If you've been showing up but still wondering why clients aren't happening yet, then this episode is for you.

Are you actually stuck or are you just doing the wrong things really consistently?
 
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I zoom out from content strategy and talk about the deeper habits that might be quietly slowing down your growth. Because sometimes the issue isn't your niche, your hooks, or the algorithm—it's how you're operating as a business owner.
 
I'm breaking down four actions I see all the time that feel productive but are actually keeping you scattered, emotional, and stuck. We're talking about commitment level, CEO mindset, consuming too many opinions, avoiding revenue-producing actions, and why discipline (not mood) builds businesses.
 
If you've been busy but not profitable, this episode is for you.

Is your content actually building clients or just building noise?
 
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm walking you through what it really means to "spring clean" your messaging—and why more posting, better hooks, or blaming the algorithm isn't the answer. If you're getting views but not conversions, followers but not clients, this is the reset you didn't know you needed.

Ever get stuck in the DMs with someone who says they want help but nothing actually moves forward?
 
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down something that trips up so many new coaches—how to tell if someone is actually ready to work with you or if they're just venting, looking for validation, or not quite there yet.
 
I talk about why so many discovery calls go nowhere, why people ghost after saying "yes," and how over-coaching in the DMs is usually a sign that you're missing one key skill: discernment. When you don't know how to spot readiness, you overextend yourself. You over-give and start to feel resentful. And then burnout creeps in.
 
But when you know what to look for? Everything changes.
