Have you ever looked at how much work you're doing in your coaching business and thought, "Why am I so busy but still not getting clients?" If so, this episode is going to hit home.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down something I see all the time with new (and even not-so-new) coaches: staying busy with tasks that feel productive, but don't actually move the needle. We talk about why talking to real humans can feel way more intimidating than creating content or Canva graphics, what I call "safe productivity," and why confidence as a coach doesn't come from posting more.   If you've been doing all the things but still feel stuck, avoiding real conversations, or wondering why your effort isn't translating into clients, 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: 01:39 Why talking to real humans can feel scarier than posting content 04:38 The difference between safe productivity and real coaching work 08:11 How confidence is built through reps, structure, and practice 12:43 Final encouragement if you've been hiding behind busy work   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com 

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.
