How do our surroundings affect our ability to think? And can we connect with our sense of place and purpose by immersing ourselves in nature?In this episode of the Coach's Journey Podcast, walking coach Rebecca Norton brings her combined expertise in coaching and mountain leadership to bear on these questions and many more, in conversation with host Alex Swallow.Rebecca and Alex explore the lasting impact that access to the natural world has on our lives, from infancy through to adulthood, and how the coaching walks that Rebecca offers her clients help them to navigate new pathways – both in the physical environment and their internal worlds.Rebecca, who delivers workshop facilitation and social prescribing alongside her coaching and “wonder walks”, describes how she carefully built up her coaching business while continually developing her skills and experience as an outdoor activities instructor.She links the idea of being a tourist in your own city and developing curiosity about new perspectives with the importance of getting alongside coaching clients and seeing the world through their eyes.The many twists, turns, ups and downs of Rebecca's adventures in the hills act as a powerful metaphor for journeys through the challenges of careers, relationships, families and life decisions. Just as her clients gain new perspective on their lives as they ascend into the hills with Rebecca, so do we as she reflects on her unique, brilliant approach to coaching conversations and many other aspects of her work.In this episode, Rebecca and Alex also talk about:The power of experiencing coaching techniques from both sidesHow to integrate experiences as we train and gain qualificationsThe barriers we place between ourselves and our own fulfillmentSeeing who we need to become in order to achieve our goalsHow to lower the importance of gaining a client when building your coaching businessRebecca also reminds us that personal development can be a grueling expedition, and that if we fail to interrogate our deeper purpose and connect the ‘why' that guides us, we can be at risk of losing our way. She generously ends this episode with an array of tips to help coaches stay at their best.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:The Coaching Academy https://www.the-coaching-academy.com/Skill Force https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkillForceWonder Walks https://senseofdirection.life/wonder-walk/Peter Sage https://petersage.com/The Life Coach Directory https://www.lifecoach-directory.org.uk/ The Self-Love Journal: https://senseofdirection.life/product/self-love-journal/

In the weight loss and fitness space, it is easy to focus only on physical changes, but what happens when your mindset and emotional well-being are neglected? The answer is burnout, frustration, and a lack of long-term sustainability.Daryl explores the connection between physical and mental health and how failing to address emotional well-being can lead to exhaustion, stress, and even physical symptoms like fatigue and headaches. He discusses:Why an inside-out approach matters for sustainable health and fitnessHow burnout happens when mental health is ignoredThe importance of emotional awareness in achieving long-term goalsHow to adjust your approach when life throws unexpected changes your wayThe value of self-compassion in maintaining balanceTaking care of your body should not come at the cost of your mental well-being.

If you're not hitting your fundraising goals, it's easy to think the problem is your CRM, website, or donation platform. But switching tools won't fix a broken strategy. I see so many nonprofits stuck in a cycle of blaming their tech instead of addressing the real issue—how they're engaging donors and running campaigns. In this episode, I'm breaking down three major reasons organizations miss their fundraising targets and what to do instead.

If you're setting goals or resolutions for 2025, this episode is for you!This year, I was asked a question that stopped me in my tracks and shifted my entire approach to goal setting. The end result was goals that made me feel joyful instead of shitty.Now, I'm sharing that question with you.You'll Learn:My theme for the yearWhy thinking you need to “fix yourself” will sabotage your goalsHow to use the 7 “life areas” to set meaningful goals The reflection question that stopped me in my tracksListen to learn the process I used to create a vision, goals and some actions steps for 2025. ------------------------------This year, I was asked a question that stopped me in my tracks and shifted my entire approach to goal setting.What about your life doesn't need to improve or change?When I read the question, I immediately felt myself push against it. I was like, “Oh, I don't want to think about what's going well.” To be honest, it took me a couple of days to get back to this question. Maybe you're like me when it comes to goal setting: I usually approach them from a kind of a “manager type” - let's find out all the problems in this system, and let's address those problems. I usually start with questions like: Where are the gaps? Where are the problems? What are the things that are going wrong? What needs a Re-Solution? The “fix it, change it, stop it, solve it” thing. But this year, when I opened up Ameila Knott's “Reimagining Resolutions” workbook and she asked me to look at “What about my life doesn't need to improve or change?" I saw very clearly how much I was using goal-setting as a “whip” to compare, measure, and criticize myself.(This workbook is SOOO good, and Amelia is sharing it with the Calm Mama community for free! Get your copy of Reimagining Resolutions by clicking here.) Reimagining Resolutions in 2025Creating goals and dreams from a negative headspace of scarcity and “not good enough-ness” is like letting our inner critic give us a pep-talk. Not fun. (My inner critic can be pretty mean, although she's much nicer than she used to be.) When we let our most negative self define us, we're left feeling “less than” and hopeless. No wonder most of us give up on our goals by mid-January…But this year, very cool things happened when I spent time reflecting on my life from a place of gratitude, hope, satisfaction and contentment. Mostly I didn't feel like shit. Instead I felt so joyful!The best thing you can do for yourself right now is...Imagining that your life is GREAT exactly as it is today. Acknowledging what you've already achieved and created. Giving yourself credit for the things you've overcome. This is the mindset you want to be in BEFORE you think about what you want to create or do in 2025.From that headspace, you can take a look at the 7 major life areas (Spirit, Mind & Emotions, Body, Relationships, Livelihood, Play, and Space & Things) and decide if you WANT to work on anything new or different. I talk all about these in the episode. You don't have to do any of this, btw. You can let everything be good exactly as it is. Contentment is a super power.
