What's holding you back from thriving—your age, or your beliefs about your age? In this episode, transformation coach and author, Deekron Krikorian, MBA, shares his journey from CPA to health strategist, helping high performers master mindset, metabolism, and momentum. Author of “The Nine Shifts: The Mind First Method to Transform Your Body and Your Life”, he describes nine challenges and mind shifts to create real solutions for reclaiming control and extending your healthspan. Episode Timeline: 0:00 – Introduction to the Podcast and 2025 Theme Dr. Gillian Lockitch sets the stage for the episode, explaining the importance of mindset in aging youthfully. The theme for 2025: “Age is Just a Number.” 1:25 – Meet Deekron Krikorian MBA: From CPA to Transformation Coach A transformation coach with certifications in functional nutrition and metabolism, Deekron empowers high achievers to reclaim energy, purpose, and consistency. 3:48 – Deekron's Story: Romanian Roots and Early Health Disciplines He shares how his father's athletic discipline and values laid the foundation for lifelong wellness and ultimately inspired his career transition. 5:49 – Redefining Success for Healthy High Performance Deekron explains that success means setting high standards and rising to meet them—and why mindset must evolve to fuel lasting fulfillment. 7:12 – From Fitness App to Transformational Coaching Learn how a tech startup focused on gym motivation evolved into a deeper coaching practice rooted in emotional and mindset transformation. 9:04 – The Power of Mindset in Midlife Reinvention Gillian and Deekron connect over their shared experiences of life transformation, discussing how mindset can shift the aging trajectory. 11:18 – Biggest Mistakes High Achievers Make About Health Deekron outlines two common traps: using achievement to prove self worth and believing there's no time for self-care. He offers simple solutions for building health into any schedule. 13:49 – The Challenge of Saying No Gillian and Deekron reflect on boundary-setting and how learning to say “no” is critical for prioritizing well-being. 15:00 – The 3x3 Assessment: Mind, Body, and Life Deekron explains his diagnostic framework of 9 challenges across mindset, metabolism, and momentum—and how clients use it to identify blocks. 17:44 – How Coaching Works: From Assessment to Shifts He walks through how he tailors coaching around specific shifts needed to overcome challenges like emotional eating or limiting beliefs. 19:18 – Deekron's Nutrition Philosophy Eat whole foods, time meals strategically, and find the right amount—not too little or too much. Personalized nutrition is key. 21:59 – Snacking, Cravings, and Intermittent Fasting Gillian shares her approach to managing nighttime snacking with fasting timers and low-carb meals. Deekron emphasizes addressing underlying nutritional or emotional gaps. 25:10 – Personalizing Nutrition for Unique Metabolisms The discussion turns to genetic variation, food sensitivities, and the need for individualized plans rather than dogmatic diets. 26:26 – Tackling Overwhelm and Time Management Overwhelm often comes from perfectionism or people-pleasing. Deekron dives into emotional root causes and building self-worth beyond constant achievement. 28:46 – Coaching Clients in Later Life Deekron affirms that mindset and transformation aren't age-bound—he's coached clients into their 70s and 80s who embraced new purpose and vitality. 29:58 – Start Here: The Most Powerful Shift Beliefs drive behavior. Whether it's health, wealth, or relationships—limiting beliefs block progress. Awareness and reframing are the first steps to change. 32:11 – Final Takeaway: Don't Make Good Habits Optional Deekron encourages listeners to commit to simple habits and small wins—starting is more important than being perfect. 33:47 – Where to Learn More Listeners are invited to find The Nine Shifts on Amazon or connect with Deekron on LinkedIn.

Ever tried to talk a client out of a risky decision? Found yourself pushing harder when they won't listen to your advice? If you've ever felt your stomach drop when a client chose the path you knew was wrong, this episode is for you.Here's the uncomfortable truth: when we try to control our clients' choices, it's usually not about them. It's about us. Our insecurity that their mistakes will reflect badly on our coaching. Our arrogance in thinking we can predict the future and know what's best for everyone.But here's what I learned after years of doing this: trying to shelter clients from consequences actually slows down their growth. The very skills they came to us for - making intentional, informed decisions and learning to pivot when things go sideways - only develop when they experience real world outcomes, both good and bad.In this episode, I share the mindset shift that changed everything for me. My job isn't to be right or protect clients from ever feeling regret. It's to help them become more resourceful and confident in their ability to respond when life throws them a curve ball.You'll hear the exact approach I use when clients insist on strategies I think are risky. How to create extreme clarity by mapping out best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios. The questions that illuminate financial, emotional, and logistical impacts without fear mongering. And how to help clients build contingency plans that make risky moves safer.This isn't about becoming a yes-person who just smiles and nods. It's about the difference between coaching and controlling. Between building resilient clients and making their success about your ego.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Your need to control client decisions isn't about protecting them - it's about protecting your ego from their potential mistakes.Real progress happens when clients learn to make intentional decisions and pivot when needed, not when they follow your blueprint perfectly.Stop robbing clients of consequences because that's exactly what they need to build the skills they came to you for.When a client wants to take a risky path: Map out best case, worst case, and most likely scenarios - then let them choose with eyes wide open.Ask yourself: Am I making their success about my comfort or their growth?The goal isn't for clients to make the same decision you would - it's for them to make clear, confident decisions they can handle.Ethical coaching means walking beside clients with your eyes open and theirs, not telling them which direction to go.

I help coaches speak to the hearts of their audiences.A coach who had been out there a few years but just barely getting by asked me to review all her recent content — from podcast episodes, social posts and even her live presentations — to see if she was on the right track.When you don't have enough clients, it's wise to look dispassionately at everything you're doing.First, I was super impressed by her discipline.

If you're a new coach, that's totally normal. With mindfulness and experience that feeling diminishes. In my early days, I was so anxious about delivering value that I over-delivered. I felt drained instead of energized by sessions.That's a red flag indicating something is off and needs attention.It took me a while to realize that being in a performative state — trying so hard to coach well — my clients weren't relaxing into coaching and getting enough value.It's a circular problem. To be themselves and access their truth in sessions, coaching clients need to feel safe in your presence.Cultivating an atmosphere of safety begins well BEFORE they hire you.

No. She only needed to decide that from now on her services are worth more and stand behind her pricing. It does take courage. But it's a decision, that once you make it, you'll never look back. And, you can increase your prices again.She used to have to invest twice as much energy to earn that new price.Before, she would have needed to find, enroll and work with 50 clients each year to meet her financial goals. Now she only needs to find, enroll and work with 25 clients for the same income.Imagine what that means to her life.This happens all the time.

Not every coaching client is a dream to work with—and that's okay. In this episode of Raving Coaches, I break down how to handle difficult clients, from those who want therapy instead of coaching to the ones who just won't take action. I also talk about how your Endotype Formula influences who you coach best and why misaligned clients might be a marketing issue, not just a personality clash. If you're tired of wondering why some clients drain you, tune in. You'll walk away with strategies you can use today to create better-fit client relationships.
In this episode, Sarah challenges the popular "high -ticket client" concept that has infiltrated the coaching industry. She explores why this vague marketing buzzword creates false expectations and offers practical alternatives to build a sustainable coaching business based on genuine value rather than chasing mythical wealthy clients.Episode Highlights:The "High Ticket" Problem: There's no universal definition of what constitutes a "high ticket" client—it's an ambiguous term that varies wildly among coaches.The Cash-Rich, Time-Poor Fantasy: Sarah debunks the myth of wealthy clients who will pay premium rates without question, explaining that all clients—regardless of wealth—need to perceive significant value.Value Over Price: The successful coaching equation is simple: if the perceived value exceeds the price, clients will invest. The challenge is articulating this value effectively.The Foundation Before Pricing: Before setting prices, coaches must understand: Who their target audience is (beyond demographics), what specific problem these clients need solved, what solving that problem is worth to the client.How to Escape the Hype:Question vague "high ticket" narrativesFocus on identifying real client problemsClearly articulate value before discussing priceBase pricing on transformation, not aspirationStop chasing "high ticket" and start focusing on "high value." When you consistently demonstrate how your coaching solves real problems, you won't need to chase clients—they'll come to you.-- Have you enjoyed this episode?

Most coaches don't fail because they don't care. They fail because they don't know who they're coaching.If you're mentoring, forming, or coaching someone without first understanding their temperament, especially if they're sanguine, you're unintentionally creating friction, not transformation. In this episode, Matt and Erin break down the five biggest mistakes coaches make with sanguine clients, and what to do instead.You'll learn:Why rigid structure shuts sanguines downHow to guide without overwhelming or talking over themSimple techniques to build trust, deepen reflection, and drive follow-throughThe real reason small wins matter more than deep insights for this temperamentThis isn't about tailoring to comfort.

He was writing to a generic audience even though he had targeted a narrow group.Neither of these coaches were relating enough to their audience.Both of these coaches were not enough in touch with their specific target audience.

You have an idea that seems valid. Then you conduct experiments several times with slight adjustments to one variable or another all while tracking your results.Over time, something becomes clear.Sometimes, what becomes clear is that this set of approaches or ideas aren't yet the right thing. So you try something else.But often, there's a clue that you're on the right track and you move forward from there.Your willingness to explore, guided by patience and strategy, is key.All businesses start this way.It's not an arbitrary process but it does require faith, courage and stick-to-itiveness. Let's hear what a coach who is 3 years into her business has to say about her attraction experiments that have led to reliable results and lots of great clients.I'd love to hear from you.

If you've ever looked at my client's wins & thought to yourself: “Ugh… I bet Camie's clients have all the time in the world to work on their business because they don't have kids at home…” You couldn't be more WRONG.

You know that sneaky trap called the “excellence zone”? It's those tasks you're pretty good at, maybe even enjoy a little? For me, it was organizing client financials into spreadsheets and setting up systems. The trap is that because you're good at it, it's easy to keep doing it yourself. Even when it's time to let it go.But every minute you spend there is a minute you're not spending in your true zone of genius. That's the sweet spot where you're making the impact you wanted to make when you first went into business.This week, I'm sharing what happens in these two zones after you hire your first team member. And it might not be what you think. I learned the hard way that trying to train my first hire while maintaining my full client load was like trying to build a house while also running a marathon. Something's got to give.I'll walk you through our practical seven-step training process that takes more time up front but means you're catching fewer errors on the back end and putting out a lot fewer fires later. You'll learn why blocking off 20% of your client hours during training is actually an investment in an amazing new team member, not a loss of time or revenue.Some of our biggest leaps forward at Fiscal Fitness, my own coaching practice, happened after I learned to let go and trust my team. Now imagine if all your time was spent just coaching clients. How would that feel? That is possible for you, and I'll show you how to get there step by step.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Hiring your first support person might actually be harder than launching your business because you're learning a completely new skill set while still running everything.Your “excellence zone” is a sneaky trap. Those tasks you're good at keep you from your true zone of genius where your business actually grows.Create a “rainy day project” for your new hire. They need productive work when waiting for your input, not just idle time.Before bringing someone on, set up a growth fund. Small savings now will cushion the temporary revenue dip later.Scheduled check-ins work better than constant availability. Try 9 a.m., noon, and 4 p.m. meetings instead of answering questions all day.Let them teach it back to you. When they demonstrate what they've learned, you'll see what they've truly absorbed.Trust unlocks growth. Some of your biggest business leaps will happen only after you learn to let go and truly trust your team.

Send us a textRegardless of how long I have been working with clients as a boundaries coach, I am still amazed by the mind-blowing revelations my clients have as a result of working with me. Today, I am sharing one of these profound experiences by sharing a story from “Sylvia,” one of my clients who confidently took back ownership of her life. This week's episode 308 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to go beyond ‘woe is me'- Sylvia's powerful shift to self-ownership. In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing a story from a client call where, with the help of boundaries coaching, “Sylvia” was able to overcome years of trauma, workplace challenges, and personal struggles to emerge stronger and more confident. Some key takeaways I go over in this episode include:You have the right to set boundaries because you get to live your life the way YOU want. You don't have to engage with people who have hurt you. You don't need to explain yourself to everyone. You own your narrative; other people don't get to tell you who you are or were. Give yourself grace, treating yourself as you would a beloved friend. Sylvia's story is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to change our narratives and reclaim our power– and that's something we can all learn from.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

And how do you make sure your marketing, messaging, and offers actually communicate and deliver that transformation?In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, we're diving deep into one of the biggest mistakes I see coaches, experts, and service providers make when trying to attract and convert clients: focusing too much on teaching and not enough on facilitating transformation.If you've ever struggled to:
