• 438. Why Coaches Should Not Just Give Advice

  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

  Have you ever worried about what you'd do if a client cried, shut down, resisted, or even got irritated during a coaching session?

• 434. The Subtle Red Flags Divorced Women Miss When Dating Again with Daniel Ratner

  Have you ever dated someone who felt amazing in the beginning only to realize later you ignored red flags that were right in front of you? It happens to so many women—especially after divorce—because we're craving connection, safety, and a fresh start. But some of the biggest red flags aren't loud or obvious. They're subtle. Quiet. And they sneak up on you when your guard is down.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by relationship coach and author Daniel Ratner for one of the realest conversations we've had on dating after divorce. We dig into why chemistry can mislead you, how unhealthy patterns repeat themselves, and the sneaky signs of "emotional vampires" who drain your energy long before you realize what's happening. Daniel also breaks down the difference between emotional safety and infatuation, how to raise your standards without losing hope, and why self-esteem is the invisible filter determining who you attract.   If you've been dating after divorce and keep finding yourself giving more than you get—or getting stuck in the same patterns—this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Check out Daniel's books: https://coachratner.com/ The Coach Daniel Ratner Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-coach-daniel-ratner-podcast/id1595629326 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 Higher Infrared Sauna Blanket use code AMBER 15: https://higherdose.com/products/infrared-sauna-blanket   What We Discuss: 01:40 The emotional boundaries most women overlook 04:12 How to redefine love and what you actually want in a relationship 07:04 The real challenges of dating again in your 40s and 50s 12:26 How self-esteem shapes the partners you attract 14:26 Spotting emotional vampires before they drain your energy 19:15 The messy truth about parenting and partnership dynamics 20:28 Raising teens while trying to date (and stay sane) 23:46 Red flags that signal someone is toxic (and how to steer clear) 25:37 How to rebuild yourself after divorce without losing hope 34:51 Why self-value is the foundation of every healthy relationship 36:32 Where to find more support, resources, and guidance   Find more from Daniel Ratner: Website: http://www.CoachRatner.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecoachratnerpodcast/ X: https://x.com/dan613ratner?s=21 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChDspvEbSIWDSo9X5WoSghw TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecoachratnerpodcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coach-ratner-45b4678a/     Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com
