The Divorce Revolution

In this episode, I talk about a question I hear all the time from women who want to coach but feel stuck: Do I need to be fully healed before I'm allowed to help someone else? Especially around the holidays—when emotions, reflection, grief, and hope can all collide—this doubt gets even louder.   If you've been feeling pulled to coach but keep stopping yourself because you're still healing, growing, or rebuilding, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: The Confident Coach Certification Waitlist is the ONLY certification specifically for divorced moms who want overcome imposter syndrome and finally feel legit: https://products.ambershaw.com/certification Listen to The Confident Coach Secret Podcast Series: https://products.ambershaw.com/confident-coach   What I Discuss: 00:54 Why the holidays can bring up doubt, reflection, and big questions about what's next 02:15 Feeling the desire to coach while still navigating your own growth 04:12 The self-doubt that stops so many women from getting started 09:03 Why structure, practice, and boundaries matter more than being "fully healed" 15:42 A free gift to help you take the next step without waiting for perfection   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com 

Have you ever been asked what you do as a coach… and suddenly found yourself fumbling, overexplaining, or defaulting to vague phrases that don't actually land? Or maybe you know what you do in your head, but saying it out loud feels clunky or overly formal.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about why "coach speak" actually gets in the way of connection—and how learning to explain what you do in simple, real-life language can completely change how potential clients respond to you.   If you've been struggling to clearly explain what you do, worried about sounding salesy, or hiding behind vague language because you don't feel confident yet, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: The Confident Coach Certification Waitlist is the ONLY certification specifically for divorced moms who want overcome imposter syndrome and finally feel legit: https://products.ambershaw.com/certification   What I Discuss: 01:36 Why clear communication matters more than sounding "professional" 03:06 Why coaching jargon muddies your message instead of helping it 08:37 The Fourth Grader Test—and why it's such a powerful filter 10:58 How to simplify what you say without dumbing it down 13:46 The real fears that keep coaches vague (and how to move past them) 16:12 How clarity builds trust faster than anything else   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com 

Are you walking into the new year feeling excited… but also a little scattered about what you're actually focusing on in your business?    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm walking you through how I plan Q1 as a coach—and how you can do the same in a way that feels intentional, realistic, and sustainable (especially as a divorced mom).    If you've been feeling reactive in your business, overwhelmed by what to focus on next, or unsure how to turn your goals into a real plan you can follow, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Listen to Episode 439.

Have you ever worried that you'll freeze in a coaching session because you don't know what to ask next? Or felt like you're not "experienced enough" to lead someone through a real breakthrough? This fear comes up all the time—especially for new coaches—and it's exactly why I wanted to record this episode.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down how to ask powerful coaching questions even when you don't feel ready, confident, or qualified yet. I talk openly about imposter syndrome, why coaching isn't about having perfect wording or giving advice, and how a few simple, intentional questions can create massive clarity and action for your clients. I also walk you through the three core types of coaching questions I use in my own sessions—and share several go-to questions you can literally steal and use right away.   If you've been feeling stuck in imposter syndrome, second-guessing yourself in sessions, or worried you don't know enough to be a "real" coach yet, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: The Confident Coach Certification Waitlist is the ONLY certification specifically for divorced moms who want overcome imposter syndrome and finally feel legit: https://products.ambershaw.com/certification Check out ReNewU: https://products.ambershaw.com/renewu   What I Discuss: 03:34 Why I'm shifting the podcast to focus more on solo episodes and real coaching skills 06:00 The imposter syndrome almost every new coach struggles with 07:46 What actually makes a coaching question "powerful" 11:04 The three types of questions every coach should be using 14:32 My favorite go-to questions when you don't know what to ask next    Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com 

Have you ever felt the pressure to "have all the answers" as a coach? Or wondered what you're actually supposed to do in a coaching session to create real transformation? You're not alone—and the truth is, most new coaches misunderstand what coaching even is.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down the biggest myths around coaching, including why giving advice is not the core of what powerful coaches do. I share how real coaching helps clients build confidence, uncover their own solutions, and create sustainable results—without you jumping in to fix everything. I'm also giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what separates mentoring, counseling, and coaching so you can stay in your lane and show up with clarity and confidence.   If you've been feeling the pressure to "figure out what to say" or worrying you're not equipped to coach at a professional level, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Listen to Episode 435: How to Handle Breakdowns in a Coaching Session (And Turn Them Into Breakthroughs): https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/435-how-to-handle-breakdowns-in-a-coaching-session/id1577282350?i=1000739098630 The Confident Coach Certification Waitlist is the ONLY certification specifically for divorced moms who want overcome imposter syndrome and finally feel legit: https://products.ambershaw.com/certification Join the waitlist for ReNewU: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist   What I Discuss: 01:40 The biggest myth about coaching—and why it creates dependency 03:05 How real coaching helps clients uncover their own answers 06:17 Why powerful coaches don't jump to solutions 07:42 The difference between giving advice and facilitating transformation 09:28 Getting to the root of a client's struggle 10:09 Coaching vs. counseling—what's the real difference? 12:05 Your role as a coach (hint: it's not to fix people) 13:15 How clarity leads to action → leads to results 14:26 Why proven frameworks make you a more effective coach   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com
