The Divorce Revolution

Ever get stuck in the DMs with someone who says they want help but nothing actually moves forward?
 
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down something that trips up so many new coaches—how to tell if someone is actually ready to work with you or if they're just venting, looking for validation, or not quite there yet.
 
I talk about why so many discovery calls go nowhere, why people ghost after saying "yes," and how over-coaching in the DMs is usually a sign that you're missing one key skill: discernment. When you don't know how to spot readiness, you overextend yourself. You over-give and start to feel resentful. And then burnout creeps in.
 
But when you know what to look for? Everything changes.

If your discovery calls feel like you're educating, building trust, proving credibility, handling objections, and trying to close all in 30–45 minutes…that's way too much weight for one conversation to carry. Your content should be pre-selling for you. It should be nurturing, building trust, and shortening your sales cycle long before someone hops on Zoom.
 
Today, I walk you through the five questions your content must answer so sales feel less like convincing and more like alignment.

If you've been saying yes to everything because you don't want to miss out—or you're afraid the opportunities will stop coming—then this episode is for you.
 
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down something almost every coach struggles with at some point—especially in the beginning: knowing when to say no…even to opportunities that look amazing on paper.
 
We're not just talking about boundaries in life. We're talking about business opportunities—collabs, summits, podcasts, affiliate launches, speaking gigs—that feel flattering and exciting but might actually be draining your time, energy, and focus.

What if being "helpful" is actually the reason no one is hiring you?
 
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down the real difference between content that's just nice and educational and content that actually leads to paid coaching clients.
 
If you've been posting consistently, sharing tips, getting a few likes and saves—but still not getting inquiries—this conversation is going to hit home. I walk you through why "helpful" content alone can quietly stall your growth, especially if you're leaning on generic advice that sounds good but doesn't actually move someone into decision mode.
