    483. Why You Struggle to Have Predictable Revenue In Your Coaching Business

    30/06/2026 | 14 mins.
    Have you ever thought, "I know I can coach…so why aren't clients coming in consistently?"
     
    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking to the coach who's already proven she can get clients—but still can't seem to create predictable income.
     
    Maybe you've signed a beta client. Maybe you've landed a client through a referral, networking, or even Instagram. You know you're capable. You know your coaching works. But your business still feels unstable. 
     
    In this episode, I'm breaking down why this stage of business is so frustrating, why getting a few clients isn't the same as having a predictable business, and the simple diagnostic I use to figure out where a coaching business is actually breaking down.

    482. When Helping People Is Actually Bad for Business

    23/06/2026 | 17 mins.
    Ever walk away from a DM conversation thinking, "I just gave away an entire coaching session and they still didn't become a client?"
     
    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm giving you a little tough love because the way most coaches are handling their DMs is quietly costing them clients—and they don't even realize it.
     
    I see this all the time. A coach gets a message from someone who's struggling, and because she's genuinely caring and wants to help, she immediately jumps into coaching mode. She gives advice, offers strategies, sends voice notes, and pours her heart into helping. But then nothing happens. No sales call, no client, and the coach is left wondering why being more helpful isn't leading to more business.
     
    If you've been giving tons of value in the DMs, feeling drained, or hearing a lot of "thank you" but not getting clients, then this episode is for you.

    What I Discuss:

    481. Why Other Coaches Sign Clients in the DMs (And You Don't)

    16/06/2026 | 16 mins.
    Ever wonder why it seems like other coaches are signing clients from Instagram so easily…while you're posting consistently and getting nowhere?
     
    The truth is, signing clients from Instagram is actually a very simple funnel—but simple doesn't mean easy. There are specific things that need to happen before someone goes from seeing your content to getting in your DMs, hopping on a call, and becoming a paying client.
     
    In this episode, I'm breaking down the hidden pieces most coaches are missing, the common bottlenecks I see over and over again, and why the problem usually isn't your work ethic—it's the system you're using.
     
    If you've been posting consistently, wondering why Instagram isn't turning into clients, or feeling like everyone else has figured it out except you, then this episode is for you.

    07:22 The most common bottlenecks keeping coaches stuck

    480. To The Coach Who Thought She'd Be Further Along By Now

    09/06/2026 | 17 mins.
    It's June. Are you where you thought you'd be in your coaching business by now?
     
    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm having the conversation that not enough coaches are willing to have publicly.
     
    Because if we're being honest, there are a lot of coaches who started this year full of excitement and big goals…and now, halfway through the year, they're feeling frustrated, discouraged, and wondering why things haven't clicked yet.
     
    Maybe you've been posting consistently.
    Maybe you've invested in courses.
    Maybe you've even signed a client or two.
     
    But the traction you hoped for still isn't there.
     
    And when that happens, it's easy to start questioning everything—your niche, your offer, your abilities, and even whether you're cut out for this in the first place.
     
    In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the parts of entrepreneurship that people rarely talk about: the emotional rollercoaster, the financial pressure, the imposter syndrome, and the reality that becoming a successful coach requires far more than just learning how to coach.
     
    Most importantly, I want you to know that struggling right now does not mean you're failing.
     
    If anything, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone, you're not broken, and you don't have to figure this all out by yourself.

    479. Do You Know Where Your Next Client Is Coming From?

    02/06/2026 | 26 mins.
    If I asked you right now where your next client is coming from…could you answer confidently?
     
    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about one of the biggest differences between coaches who occasionally get clients and coaches who create consistent, predictable income. Because there's a huge difference between getting a client here and there…and actually knowing where your next client is coming from.
     
    If you've been getting clients inconsistently, relying on referrals, or wondering why your business still feels so unpredictable despite all the effort you're putting in, then this episode is for you.

About The Divorce Revolution
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.
