    474. The 3 Non-Negotiables of a Coaching Business That Actually Gets Clients

    28/04/2026 | 20 mins.
    You're doing all the things…so why aren't clients happening consistently?
     
    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down what I call the three non-negotiables—the foundational pieces that actually determine whether your coaching business gets clients or stays stuck in what I call the "messy middle."
     
    Because I know how frustrating it is to feel like you're showing up, posting, and doing what you think you're supposed to be doing but nothing is really moving. No traction, no consistent clients, and definitely no momentum.
     
    And the truth is, it's usually not because you need another strategy or some new "shiny" tactic. It almost always comes down to a breakdown in one (or more) of these three core areas.
     
    So in this episode, I walk you through what those non-negotiables are, how to identify which one might be off in your business, and why focusing here is what actually creates progress—not jumping from one strategy to the next.
     
    If you've been stuck in the messy middle and wondering what's actually broken in your business, then this episode is for you.

    472. The 3 Biggest Mistakes Coaches Make in the DMs (That Cost You Clients)

    14/04/2026 | 14 mins.
    You're getting people in your DMs…so why aren't they turning into clients?
     
    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down one of the most frustrating parts of building a coaching business—when you're finally getting engagement, conversations are happening but nothing is converting.
     
    Because the truth is, a lot of coaches think the problem is their content. But what I see over and over again is that the breakdown actually happens inside the DMs—in how those conversations are being handled.
     
    And I get it. Nobody really teaches you how to do this. You're trying to be helpful, you don't want to be pushy, and you're just kind of figuring it out as you go. But there are a few very specific mistakes that are quietly costing you clients.
     
    In this episode, I walk you through the three biggest ones I see all the time—why they happen, and what to do instead so you can start leading these conversations in a way that actually moves people forward.

    02:37 Why the sales process actually starts before the call
    04:51 The first mistake I see coaches make in the DMs
    07:11 The second mistake that keeps conversations stuck
    08:59 The third mistake that turns people off too soon
    13:35 How to guide a DM conversation with intention

    471. What Louis Vuitton Has to Do With Starting My Business

    09/04/2026 | 16 mins.
    This episode is a little different. It's not just strategy—it's the real, behind-the-scenes of what it looked like for me navigating divorce, financial fear, and the decision to invest in myself when I felt anything but ready.
     
    Today, I'm sharing a very personal story from one of the hardest seasons of my life and how a moment involving a Louis Vuitton bag completely changed the way I think about money, fear, and betting on myself.
     
    If you've been holding back, overthinking, or waiting until you feel "ready" to take the next step in your business, this is your reminder that you don't need more time—you need a decision.

    470. The $1,000 Decision Every New Coach Has to Make

    02/04/2026 | 13 mins.
    At some point, you have to stop "trying" to build a coaching business…and decide you're actually doing it.
     
    In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about what I call the $1,000 decision—the moment where you stop treating your business like something you're testing out and start committing to it like it's happening, no matter what.
     
    Because I see this all the time with new coaches. On the surface, it looks like you're doing the work—you're posting, learning, tweaking, trying. But underneath it, there's still hesitation. Still second guessing. Still a part of you that's in "practice mode."
     
    And that's exactly what keeps you stuck.
     
    In this episode, I break down what that shift actually looks like, how to start thinking like a CEO instead of someone just "trying," and why confidence doesn't come before momentum—it comes because of it.
     
    If you've been stuck in "practice mode" and wondering why your business isn't moving forward, then this episode is for you.

    06:53 The actions that actually create traction
    08:48 The one question you need to ask yourself
    09:46 Why you need to stop self-diagnosing everything

About The Divorce Revolution

You're divorced. Now let's make your next chapter your best one. Welcome to The Divorce Revolution, a podcast for divorced moms who want to start and grow an online coaching business, hosted by Amber Shaw, business coach for divorced women who are ready to stop starting over and start building something of their own. After my own divorce, I was lost, broke, and had no idea what came next or how I'd support myself as a divorced mom. 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. This podcast is for divorced moms who know they want more. More autonomy. More income they control. More purpose. More proof that they can take care of themselves and their kids, on their terms. Each solo episode dives into the real stuff no one talks about when you're starting over and starting a business at the same time. Mindset. Money. Identity shifts. Confidence. Visibility. Imposter syndrome. Content that actually attracts clients. And what it really takes to turn your lived experience into a coaching business that pays you back, even if you don't think you're qualified yet. Because divorce isn't the end. It's your launchpad. If you're ready to stop circling, stop guessing, and finally build something that's fully yours, you're in the right place. Welcome to the revolution. Let's do this.
