Have you ever noticed how the energy you bring to a consult completely changes the conversation and the results? In this episode, I revisit one of the most foundational mindset shifts that transformed my coaching and sales: seeing every client as whole, capable, and perfect right now, regardless of their circumstances. When you speak to clients from their highest self, objections shrink, connection deepens, and you create consults unlike any conversation they've ever had before.   You'll hear how to practice this mindset before every consult, why it's more impactful than any script or process, and how connecting with clients from this place of belief transforms your sales, your coaching, and the experience you offer. I also share examples from my own journey, from my first coaching calls with Brooke Castillo to working with clients today, illustrating how this simple shift can create extraordinary results and deeper fulfillment for both you and your clients.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

You know that feeling when you hit a milestone in your business and suddenly everything feels different? In this episode, I'm exploring what I call the "vulnerability tax" - the hidden cost of success that makes established coaches close off just when they need openness most. The more success we create, the more we feel we have to lose by admitting we don't have all the answers.   Through my own experiences – like that first $100k year when everything suddenly stopped working – I've learned that the most successful business owners are actually the most open to being wrong. Discover why the vulnerability tax exists and how to break out of the performance cage that's keeping you from the strategic support and authentic connections you need to keep growing.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/252

Have you ever felt like something is missing on your consult calls, even when your process is solid? I'm revisiting this conversation because connection on consults is one of the most overlooked yet powerful skills in coaching. When you show up fully present, engaged, and genuinely caring about the person on the other end of the call, everything changes—for them, and for your ability to guide, serve, and inspire.   Connection isn't about a perfect script or following a step-by-step process. It's about fully seeing the human in front of you, believing in their potential, and holding a vision for them that's bigger than their doubts. In this episode, I dive into how to engage with clients so they feel heard, understood, and capable of transformation. You'll hear examples from real coaching situations that show how presence and energy on a consult make all the difference, and how tuning into shared humanity creates trust, engagement, and meaningful breakthroughs.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

There's a common pattern I see with many coaches, especially when they hit a roadblock in their business. They dive into introspection and mindset work instead of asking, “How do I solve this?” But relying solely on self-concept work can sometimes keep you stuck.   In this episode, I'm going to share why self-concept work isn't a one-size-fits-all solution and when it might actually be holding you back. You'll also learn how to balance mindset work with practical, actionable steps that lead to tangible results in your business.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/251

After the longest break I've taken from social media in years, I'm back—clearer, lighter, and more grounded than ever. In this episode, I'm sharing where I've been, the powerful opportunities that have come my way, and the deep deconditioning I've been moving through when it comes to the online coaching space and my social media presence. I talk about: The “niggle” I felt at the start of the year that changed everything. How I knew I needed to unplug and reset my online presence. Why I'm no longer willing to follow outdated “rules” of marketing and business. The standards I hold in my work—and how I'm making sure my online presence reflects them. Questions you can ask yourself to see where you might need to decondition, too. If you've been feeling pressure to show up a certain way online, or you're ready to bring more consciousness, leadership, and depth into your presence—this one's going to hit, babe.

Do you show up for every consultation with the same energy and level of service, no matter who's on the other side of the call? Most coaches treat consultations as a necessary step to getting paid, but they miss the opportunity to deliver one of the most valuable services they offer: the full experience of coaching. In this episode, I'm revisiting this important concept and breaking down why consultations should be viewed as a service, not just a sales call.   When you approach consultations as a chance to truly serve your potential clients, regardless of their financial situation, you'll shift both your mindset and your business results. I'll share a conversation with a 2K for 2K student who almost wrote off a prospect based on financial assumptions, and how shifting into service energy completely changes the outcome. In this episode, I'll share why you should always give your best during consultations and how this mindset shift will serve you and your clients in the long run.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

My entire business is built on helping coaches find their own way of doing things. But the more coaches ask me for permission to do things their way, the more I realize just how many “rules” we've picked up along the way about the “right” way to do things.   In this milestone 250th episode, I'm giving you full permission to trust yourself and your evolution as a business owner. You'll discover why outgrowing your current model isn't failure but evolution and why sitting in the unknown without forcing the next step might be exactly what you need. This episode is your permission slip to come back to whenever you need to hear that your way of doing business is valid, even if you've never seen it modeled before.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/250

This episode isn't a takedown. It's a reckoning and a redirection. If you've ever looked at the coaching industry and thought, "Am I crazy, or is this whole thing starting to feel… off?"—you are not crazy, you are not broken, and you are definitely not alone. In this powerful solo episode, Samantha pulls back the curtain on the manipulative tactics, the performative spirituality, and the underbelly of a world that often hurts more than it helps. Having navigated the industry for eight years, she shares her own complicated relationship with it—the good, the bad, and the lessons learned from feeling scammed, foolish, and manipulated.This is a masterclass in developing the one skill that matters most in this new era: Discernment. Samantha breaks down the "manipulation blueprint"—from love bombing and high-pressure sales to the narcissist/codependent dynamics at play. But this isn't just about what's broken; it's about what we are building. This episode is an initiation into High Frequency Leadership: a new paradigm rooted in truth, embodied service, and transparency over performance. It's time to take your power back, trust your gut, and become the kind of leader the world actually needs.

Ever had an experience where someone made assumptions about your ability to buy before you even had the chance to speak? I recently walked into a high-end car dealership, dressed in designer clothes and driving a luxury vehicle, only to be met with repeated passive-aggressive questions about my budget. Despite showing clear signs of being a serious buyer, the salesperson's assumptions shut down the potential for any real connection.   This situation highlights a critical mistake many coaches make in their businesses. The key to success in sales is simple: treat every potential client with the same level of respect and always deliver your best process, no matter your assumptions. In this episode, I'll share why showing up with integrity in every sales conversation, regardless of the prospect's situation, will transform both your income and your impact.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

How do you navigate running your business during times of tragedy? Every year brings moments that stop us in our tracks—world events that flood our feeds, shaking us to the core.

Is business debt holding you back, or is it an opportunity for growth? Many businesses operate with some form of debt, and how you view and manage that debt can make all the difference in your success. Understanding the distinctions between investment debt, business debt, and consumer debt isn't just about financial literacy, but also knowing what fuels your business growth and what drains it.   When you see your business as an asset worth creating and maintaining, debt becomes a tool rather than a burden. In this episode, you'll learn how to manage debt without it influencing your money-making behavior, why starving your business to pay off debt often backfires, and practical strategies for creating a payoff plan that actually works. Most importantly, you'll discover how to serve powerfully and sell confidently, no matter your current financial situation.   If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2k for 2k.

In this episode of The Nancy Levin Show, I'm pulling back the curtain on the side of the coaching industry most people avoid talking about—the part that feels inauthentic, performative, and even disheartening. If you've been hesitant to call yourself a coach because of what you're seeing out there—coaches overcharging without experience, giving generic advice, or chasing likes instead of client breakthroughs—you are not alone. And you are needed. Together, we explore how to rise above industry noise and root yourself in integrity, compassion, and real skill. Because becoming a successful life coach doesn't mean playing the game—it means redefining it with purpose, presence, and heart.   What we explore: Why the coaching industry's lack of regulation can create confusion—and how to be part of the solution. The truth about high-ticket pricing and why alignment matters more than numbers. How to spot surface-level coaching—and what deep, client-centered transformation actually looks like. Why real impact begins with listening, not telling. How to build a business that reflects your integrity and attracts abundance. Ready to lead with integrity?

If you're not controlling your inputs, you're being controlled by someone else's. Your phone, your news feed, your social circle. All of it shapes your thinking. If you're always tired, reactive, distracted, and unsure, it's not just a motivation problem. It's an environment problem. And it's your responsibility to fix it. Audit your inputs. Eliminate what drains you. Double down on what sharpens you. This is what disciplined people do. They take ownership of their mental bandwidth. Stop letting the world program your operating system.

Do you ever find yourself thinking, “No one can know I'm struggling with this”? I've been there. But this thought might be one of the most dangerous beliefs you can carry as a coach. It's normal to think you can't show vulnerability, but what I've learned over time is that transparency doesn't make us less of a coach. It makes us more human and more relatable to our clients.   In this episode, I dive into why trying to hide our fails from our clients only isolates us, increases pressure, and ultimately weakens our ability to serve them. I'll also share how my own struggles with transparency have shaped my approach to coaching, and how embracing vulnerability has created deeper connections with my clients. Perfection is a myth, and it's time we start normalizing the messy parts of coaching and business.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/245

I'll break down why getting off the fence quickly is so important for creating momentum.

What if the “therapist” you're pouring your heart out to… isn't a therapist at all? In this jaw-dropping episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, I'm joined by investigative journalists Rebecca Ruiz and Lauren Krause to expose the shocking truth behind Seven Cups Therapy and the dark world of therapy fraud—including unlicensed “helpers,” fake reviews, and predatory chatrooms masquerading as support.

Many coaches hesitate to ask for testimonials, feeling they're self-promotional or uncomfortable to request. This hesitation often comes from misunderstandings about what testimonials are really for.
