In this episode, Mardi Winder chats with Myra Salzer, the founder of The Wealth Conservancy, about what really happens when you suddenly come into a bit—or a lot—of money, whether it's from a divorce or an inheritance. Myra Salzer shares her own story of switching careers to financial planning, and how she ended up specializing in helping people who find themselves with unexpected wealth and all the questions that brings.The conversation opens up about how easy it is to make quick decisions when money first arrives—like splurging on things you never thought you'd buy—and how that can sometimes lead to regrets later on. Myra Salzer breaks down the different stages people often go through, starting from not quite believing what's happened, to slowly learning how to manage their money, and eventually feeling confident and in control.They discuss common worries, like wondering how much is safe to spend, sorting out taxes, and most importantly, figuring out who you can trust to guide you. Both Mardi Winder and Myra Salzer highlight how building a good financial team is about more than just numbers; it's about supporting your values and making sure your money helps you live the life you want.If the topic hits home for you, you'll be glad to hear Myra Salzer offers a free consultation and a short coaching program to help you get started.

Toddler tantrums, big feelings, and power struggles — oh my! But what if the “terrible twos” didn't have to be terrible at all? This week on Motherish, we're joined by Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood, to talk about rewriting the story of life with little ones. As an ICF-certified coach and parenting expert, Devon has helped over a million parents move from chaos to confidence — and she's here to share practical tools, mindset shifts, and a whole lot of compassion. We talk about what toddlers are really trying to tell us, how to stay calm in the storm, and how to build the kind of parent-child connection that lasts a lifetime. It's not about perfection — it's about transformation.

I det här avsnittet nördar vi ner oss i hur en medveten start sätter tonen för hela dagen. Vi pratar om “inte-listan” som språngbräda till rätt fokus, att bryta ner mål till hanterliga delmoment, att planera efter kalenderns verklighet och varför multitasking är en myt. Du får konkreta sätt att skapa arbetsro, hålla gräns mot brus (mejl, sms, pling) och en enkel ritual för att avrunda jobbet—så att resten av dagen får plats. Du får med dig En enkel morgonrutin: “När jag stänger ner idag vill jag ha åstadkommit …” → välj 1–3 viktigaste resultaten. “Inte-listan” → vänd varje “inte” till vad du faktiskt ska göra och se mönstren över tid. Prioritera inom prioriteringen: tidsätta, börja med de stora bollarna, bryt varje uppgift i tre delmål. Arbetsro i praktiken: bestäm när (och bara då) du öppnar mejl och kanaler—single-taska däremellan. En tydlig övergång efter jobbet (din “bro”): markera att arbetsdagen är slut och vad som börjar sen. Ett citat från avsnittet “Hur vet jag att jag är klar för idag? Svara på den frågan redan på morgonen—då styr du dagen, inte tvärtom.” Koppling till ICF:s kärnkompetenser 3. Upprättar och följer avtal och överenskommelser: Formulera dagens önskat resultat och ramar—vad är klart när det är klart? 5. Bibehåller närvaro: En sak i taget, medveten närvaro och aktivt val av fokus. 6. Lyssnar aktivt & 7. Väcker medvetenhet: “Inte-listan” och mönsterigenkänning ökar självinsikt och riktar energin rätt. 8. Faciliterar klientens utveckling: Bryta ner mål i delmoment och välja första steget skapar rörelse och ägarskap. Blir du nyfiken? Vill du prova professionell coaching eller hitta en ICF-coach?

As you will be aware the ICF Core Competencies have been revised and during the Coaching Cafe Podcasts we have been diving deeper into some of the more thought-provoking changes. Some are simple to understand, while others invite us—as coaches—to pause and reflect. This week, we turn our attention to one of the more controversial updates: the introduction of the word ‘knowledge' in the revised ICF Core Competencies. The updated competency now states that the coach “shares observations, knowledge, and feelings, without attachment, that have the potential to create new insights for the client.” But what does this really mean? How do we interpret “knowledge” within the coaching partnership? Does this blur the line between coaching, mentoring, and consulting—or does it expand our understanding of what's possible in coaching? Join us for this Coaching Café Podcast as we explore: ✔️ The context and intent behind this update to the ICF Core Competencies ✔️ How “knowledge” aligns with the ICF definition of coaching ✔️ What this means for your coaching practice and ethical boundaries ✔️ How to share knowledge without attachment—and still evoke awareness Whether you're an experienced practitioner or a new coach, this session will challenge your thinking and help you navigate what “knowledge” means in professional coaching today. Transcripts can be found here: Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Mardi Winder has a really interesting chat with Amanda Steadman, who's spent more than two decades helping women find confidence and independence after divorce. Amanda brings both her personal story and her professional expertise, talking about how early experiences with family loss shaped her outlook and set her on a path to unravel the connection between our minds and bodies.She shares honest reflections about navigating a tough breakup herself, after realizing her relationship wasn't truly making her happy, even if it looked good from the outside. Through a mix of hypnotherapy, NLP, and energy work, Amanda Steadman helps women work through old patterns, like feeling unworthy or stuck, so they can move forward and start fresh. A major takeaway from the conversation is how common it is for women to worry about being “enough” after their relationships end, and the importance of letting go of childhood beliefs that might be holding them back.Amanda and Mardi touch on how important it is to take a breather after a breakup, figure out what you really want, and stop repeating the same patterns. Amanda encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and reminds everyone that you're only one thought away from stepping into a new, more confident version of yourself. For those looking for a little extra inspiration, she's also offering her “Awaken the Goddess Within” meditation for free, which is just a bit of added support to help you on your journey, no matter where you are in the process!About the Guest:Uncertain, and stuck. Amanda Steadman helps divorced women reclaim their confidence, rebuild their lives, and create financial independence.

En Capital Intereconomía hemos puesto hoy el foco en la innovación tecnológica y sanitaria, con una edición muy especial de Empresas con Identidad y Digital Business. En Empresas con Identidad, conversamos con Julio Ferrón, CEO de Neitec, la startup que acaba de ganar el Startup Contest 2025 de MERGE Madrid con su plataforma Debita, una infraestructura de crédito privado tokenizado que conecta al mid-market con inversores globales bajo el marco regulatorio MiCA. Ferrón explicó cómo Neitec busca democratizar el acceso a la financiación mediante tecnología blockchain, aportando transparencia, trazabilidad y eficiencia a los mercados emergentes de deuda. Durante el evento, el debate giró en torno al futuro de los pagos y la tokenización del dinero. Mastercard presentó su avance con stablecoins en tres frentes —cripto-tarjetas, liquidaciones en stablecoin y su red Multitoken Network—, mientras que BBVA y Santander coincidieron en que el gran reto del sistema financiero digital no es técnico, sino cultural, y que el marco europeo MiCA aporta seguridad y confianza. El panel “Las Stablecoins y su Influencia Global: Europa vs. EE. UU.” concluyó que ambos bloques avanzan por caminos distintos pero complementarios: Europa con foco en la regulación y EE. UU. en la innovación. En Digital Business, Stella Luna de María, CEO de Pentaquark Consulting, advirtió sobre la posible burbuja de la inteligencia artificial, en especial en el auge de las IA de vídeo, que están “aprendiendo a imitar el mundo” mediante un uso masivo de contenido de plataformas como YouTube. La jornada continuó con una entrevista conjunta a Jesús Jerónimo, director de Salud Digital en SANITAS & BUPA Europa y Latam, y Alejo Costa, General Partner de CRB Digital Health III, el fondo español de capital riesgo especializado en salud digital que acaba de recibir una inversión de 9,9 millones de euros del Gobierno de España a través de la Sociedad Española para la Transformación Tecnológica (SETT). Ambos coincidieron en que la digitalización del sistema sanitario es clave para mejorar la eficiencia, la prevención y la atención personalizada, y que la colaboración público-privada será esencial para impulsar la sostenibilidad del sistema de salud. El fondo ya supera los 30 millones de euros y cuenta con el respaldo de Sanitas, Occident, CBNK, Cantabria Labs, Roca Group Ventures y el ICF, entre otros inversores.

Série „Co se stalo v Efezu?“ nás zavede do biblického dopisu apoštola Pavla Efezským. Společně budeme objevovat, jaké poselství měl Pavel pro tehdejší církev — a co toto poselství znamená pro nás dnes. Dopis Efezským mluví o identitě, jednotě, milosti i o tom, jak žít vírou uprostřed každodenního života. Každé kázání nám pomůže lépe porozumět tomu, co se tehdy stalo v Efezu — a co se díky Božímu působení může dít i dnes mezi námi. ICF Praha (Mezinárodní křesťanské společenství) je moderní křesťanská církev postavená na biblických základech, která je dynamická, současná a je blízko lidem.

As our world becomes increasingly connected, we work with teams spanning continents, cultures, and contexts. What works brilliantly in one culture can completely miss the mark in another. For example, silence in a meeting might mean respect, not disengagement.

In this episode, host Mardi Winder welcomes Dr. Robin Buckley, Ph.D., an expert in clinical psychology with a specialty in cognitive behavioral methodology and executive coaching. Together, they explore the power of applying clear, practical strategies and goal-setting to both marriage and divorce. Dr. Robin shares insights from her years of experience, reflecting on the transition from traditional therapy, focused on intervention and healing from past wounds, to her current emphasis on proactive coaching that builds toward a meaningful and intentional future.The discussion unpacks the differences between coaching and therapy, noting that coaching helps clients focus on what they can control in the present to create the future they want. Dr. Robin explains how our brains often become stuck in reactive patterns during the stress of divorce, making logical decision-making difficult. She suggests that by engaging the prefrontal cortex, people can step away from the "fight, flight, or freeze" response and approach divorce with clarity and strategic thinking.A central theme of the conversation is the concept of a "mission statement for divorce." Dr. Robin helps clients articulate what they want life to look like after divorce, whether it involves successful co-parenting, remaining friends, or setting firm boundaries for a clean break. Rather than simply aiming to finalize the legal process, couples are encouraged to envision their goals for their lives beyond the separation. This mission statement serves as a guiding compass throughout the process, helping couples navigate conflict and remain focused on respectful outcomes even in tense moments.The episode also touches on changing trends, with more people, especially in younger generations, seeking collaborative and multidisciplinary approaches to divorce. Dr. Robin shares her excitement about these supportive models, which often include financial advisors, therapists, and legal professionals working as a team. In closing, Dr. Robin introduces her new book, Marriage Incorporated, which brings strategic planning and business principles into the realm of relationships, offering readers practical tools to create stronger foundations and improve communication in both marriage and divorce.About the Guest:Dr. Robin Buckley holds a PhD in clinical psychology with specialized training in cognitive behavioral methodology and executive coaching. Through her data-driven, strategic coaching model, she helps individuals, couples, and organizations achieve personal and professional goals. Her expertise has been featured by Entrepreneur, Chief, Nike, and TED.

Today, Mardi Winder welcomes Jenni Rock, an author, speaker, and coach specializing in helping parents recover from toxic co-parenting breakdowns. The discussion focuses on the often-overlooked impact of divorce on children when one parent displays toxic or manipulative behaviors. Drawing from her personal experience, Jenni speaks candidly about the emotional challenges and long-term effects these situations can have on children, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing harmful patterns before they become deeply rooted.Jenni outlines some of the common behaviors parents face in these circumstances, ranging from false allegations to parental alienation and gaslighting, and highlights how children can inadvertently become tools in ongoing conflicts. Throughout the episode, she offers insightful strategies for communication and boundary-setting, advocating for practical approaches such as limited, essential messaging, neutral handovers, and using technology to minimize emotional confrontation.Mardi and Jenni also touch on the delicate balance of honesty and emotional safety when speaking with children affected by conflict and negative influences. Jenni stresses the importance of fostering open dialogue without placing blame, and encouraging children to feel secure sharing their feelings. For parents who have lost access to their children due to toxicity or manipulation, Jenni suggests ways to heal from trauma and stay connected, including keeping a log or email account for messages to be shared later in life.About the Guest:Jenni Rock is a Co-Parenting without Conflict expert with four years of experience. Jenni has been instrumental in helping divorced parents exit toxic relationships and redefine their communication patterns to prioritize the needs of their children. Having gone through a marriage littered with Domestic Abuse, manipulation, gaslighting and coercive behaviour became the norm. Her separation from her ex was very traumatic not only for her but for her son who was age 3 at the time. When Jenni finally instated strong boundaries to protect herself and her son, there was an explosion of abuse which then had to be addressed using Police support and support not only for Jenni but for her son too. Her son became very poorly as a result of the complex PTSD, and Jenni had to contend with trying to work, support her son, and heal herself all at the same time. It's been a journey!For Jenni's gift: https://1drv.ms/w/c/ca499b89cefc9e76/EZ9CMPRD17lBtOK8AxpIX7ABMNaVWCpnSLViwuf01kxdow?e=1NprJnTo connect with Jenni:Check out my webinar: https://pages.coparentingwithoutconflict.com/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenni-rock-uk-s-leading-parental-alienation-and-coparenting-breakdown-specialist-293768b2/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090676011227About the HostMardi Winder is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Send us a textWhen language gets policed, coaching gets harder—and trust is the first casualty. We sit down with leadership coaches and authors Amber Mays and Sukari Pinnock Fitts to unpack what happens when executive orders and corporate policies restrict DEI conversations, and why that “muting effect” changes how clients show up, how coaches contract, and how integrity is tested in the room. Their ongoing survey reveals the lived reality: sponsors banning words like woman, Black, or transgender; coaches torn between revenue and values; clients covering core parts of identity to stay safe.We trace the deeper patterns driving these shifts—fear, zero-sum thinking, and the belief that inclusion takes something away from those in power. Amber and Sukari bring decades of global DEI and leadership experience to show how cultural intelligence, identity transparency, and brave conversations actually fuel performance and belonging. They challenge us to reframe “confidentiality as loophole” and instead elevate ethical contracting: clarify roles with sponsors and clients, interrogate who set the restrictions and why, and co-create agreements that keep the space safe and brave without breaking your word.You'll leave with practical steps you can use today: prepare values-based red lines, negotiate language with clarity, document expectations up front, and revisit your ICF or EMCC code of ethics to ensure your practice aligns with your promises. Coaching with DEIAB in mind isn't a niche—it's simply good coaching. If the policy narrows the conversation, let your courage, clarity, and craft widen it so trust can do the work it's meant to do.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a coach who needs it, and leave a review so more practitioners can find these tools.Watch the full interview by clicking here. Find the full article here.Learn more about Sukari Pinnock here.Learn more about Amber Mayes here.Sukari and Amber have gracious provided our audience a 15% discount on the earlybird fee for November workshop. Go to www.fifthdomaincoaching.com and use code: choice to receive the discount. Grab your free issue of choice Magazine here - https://choice-online.com/

In this episode, Mardi Winder welcomes Karen McNenny for a conversation about how divorce doesn't have to be a destructive ordeal. Karen, who works as a mediator, divorce coach, and host of the Good Divorce Show Podcast, brings her own experience and her work with families to the table. She talks openly about how her own divorce shaped her career path and her belief that divorce can be handled thoughtfully and kindly, especially when kids are involved.Karen explains how the usual approach to separation, immediately involving lawyers and preparing for conflict, rarely serves families well. Instead, she advocates for reaching out to coaches and mediators first, and focusing on clear, honest communication before making big decisions, especially those involving children. Her Good Divorce Experience program helps families figure out critical next steps, from breaking the news to kids, working out living arrangements, co-parenting plans, and even involving trusted professionals when needed. Karen highlights the importance of setting the tone right from the start and ensuring everyone involved, children, teachers, friends, and family, is on the same page.Mardi and Karen also talk candidly about the intense emotions that come with divorce, such as anger, grief, and disappointment. They reflect on why even couples who want an amicable split find themselves struggling with frustration, and how self-reflection and support can make a big difference. Karen reminds listeners that the goal isn't just to end a marriage, but to create a healthy new family structure that supports the kids and lets everyone move forward.About the Guest:A dynamic speaker with over two decades of experience commanding stages across the country, Karen brings both authenticity and authority to conversations about workplace culture, effective leadership and employee engagement.

Transparency in Tech & Conflicts of Interest: Proactively disclose technology use and clearly manage multiple professional roles to avoid conflicts. "Do Good" Beyond Compliance: Ethics isn't just about following rules; it's about actively working for the client's benefit and preventing harm. Partner, Don't Prescribe in Complexity: When faced with difficult client disclosures (e.g., mental health, trauma), inquire and partner with the client rather than immediately diagnosing or referring.

There are some souls whose presence feels like a deep exhale, like the banks of the river where you can just be yourself. Jeremy Lipkowitz is one of those rare beings. A former Buddhist monk turned executive coach, he blends ancient wisdom with neuroscience to guide men out of shame and back into integrity, presence, self-love and healthy sexuality.  I first had the honor of being on his podcast, and now I am thrilled to welcome him to Intimate Conversations. In this tender and illuminating conversation, we went places many are too afraid to explore: addiction, shame, intimacy, porn, and the path back home to yourself and your sovereignty. In this powerful episode we explored: -Jeremy's courageous journey from genetics researcher to Buddhist monk to becoming a leading voice in destigmatizing porn addiction and helping men reclaim their lives. -How seemingly innocent curiosities in childhood can quietly escalate into compulsive porn use, and why shame and secrecy make it worse. -The neuroscience behind addiction, novelty, and escalation, and how porn literally rewires the brain to need “more.” -The subtle but devastating ways porn impacts intimacy, from a lack of presence with partners to needing increasingly intense mental images from porn to stay aroused. -Jeremy's gentle, science-backed approach to recovery: mindfulness, meditation, habit change, and creating safe, non-judgmental community spaces for men to heal. -Why recovery is not just about quitting porn, but about training your mind and nervous system to desire gratitude, contentment, peace and true connection. -Our shared passion for unshaming sexuality, rebuilding healthy desire, and guiding both men and women back to wholeness, presence, and conscious intimacy. -The parallel patterns in women with vibrators, romance novels, and fantasy, and how these too can desensitize and disconnect us from real-life intimacy and presence. -How Jeremy helps clients dissolve shame, rewire their brains, and rebuild their sex lives from a place of acceptance and joy. After the Show on Patreon, Jeremy and I go deeper into his soul's truths and let loose dancing to his favorite Afro Beat. It warmed my heart to hear my episode on his Podcast, Unhooked: Breaking Porn Addition has received great feedback, especially with the communication tool, the Dyad. If you or someone you love has been affected by porn addiction or sexual shame, this episode will offer science, hope, and a path back to freedom and self-respect.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Ally Iseman, (ICF certified relationship coach and erotic event producer) we dive deeper into the real work behind healthy, ethical nonmonogamy. Alley shares personal stories that reveal the emotional intelligence, honesty, and respect it takes to navigate multiple relationships — from processing breakups to setting boundaries and supporting each other through vulnerability.We also bust common myths about open relationships, explaining how communication and consent are key whether you're monogamous, polyamorous, or somewhere in between. Then, we take you inside the world of kink and play parties, exploring what really happens, how to approach these spaces safely, and why curiosity (not pressure) is the foundation of all exploration.This episode is as much about self-awareness and personal growth as it is about relationships — proving that being “open” starts with how we communicate, not who we sleep with.If you haven't listened to Part 1, go back and start there, because you will want the full story!Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: Beyond the Myths of Open Relationships02:10 – Communication, Boundaries & Mutual Respect05:20 – Processing Emotions and Breakups in Open Relationships08:00 – Monogamy vs. Ownership: Redefining Partnership10:40 – Kink, Curiosity & What Really Happens at Play Parties13:50 – Finding Community and Safer Spaces16:30 – How to Start Exploring (Responsibly)18:50 – Final Thoughts: Openness Starts With Conversation19:51 – Final wordsWant a deeper look?

How can we best navigate the AI revolution to leverage it for a greater good?It's here. What will we do about it as heart-centered leaders?We hear: "The machine is outperforming humans."What we need is to be more human.In this episode of 'Being Brave', I am joined by Justin Hall, CEO of AI UK ( who also spent many years in Christian ministry, coaching, and non-profit leadership) to explore the profound impact of AI on communication, work, and creativity.

The power of NLP in enhancing conversational coaching and understanding clients' inner experiences beyond their spoken words.

The significance of "meta-modeling" and how to guide clients from what they don't want to what they truly desire. A demonstration of "submodalities" and "association/dissociation" techniques to shift client perspectives and emotional states. Why trusting your intuition as a coach is paramount and how to effectively verbalize subtle observations to clients without judgment.

In this episode, relationship coach Michelle Chung sits down with host Mardi Winder to share her perspective on finding happiness and love after divorce, especially for women who are feeling pressured to jump back into the dating scene. Michelle brings both professional experience as a love strategist and a very real, personal story. She talks about how her own divorce in her 30s, after an injury that forced her to slow down, became a turning point. Instead of immediately looking for a new partner, Michelle looked inward, studying kinesiology and mind-body medicine, and slowly discovered that her marriage didn't align with her true values anymore.Michelle walks listeners through what happened when she re-entered the dating world and realized that swiping through dating apps wasn't bringing her any closer to real happiness or fulfillment. She shares stories from her adventurous travels, her artistic pursuits, and all the ways she learned to trust her intuition rather than just doing what everyone expected. Michelle and Mardi talk about how easy it is to get caught up in society's message that you need to couple up quickly, and how empowering it can be to focus on your own purpose, your passions, and your personal growth instead.One of Michelle's key messages is that women, especially those who are successful and independent, don't need someone else to complete them. She encourages listeners, whether they're single by choice or by circumstance, not to settle for less or follow the old model of relationships. Instead, she recommends letting love come naturally as a result of living authentically and in alignment with yourself. For those interested in learning more, Michelle offers a free masterclass designed to help women reconnect with their inner guidance and attract the right people into their lives without the stress of dating apps.About the Guest:Michelle Chung is a Love Strategist for high achieving women entrepreneurs and professionals, the podcast host of 'Love,Life & Energy', bestselling author of 'How to Stop Dating & Be In A Committed, Effortless Relationship' serial entrepreneur, property investor and has hacked the process to finding the right man and relationship that supports your vision, career and lifestyle without dating or using online apps.For Michelle's gift: Free Masterclass 3 Steps to Meet Your Ideal partner without dating!: https://www.michellechungcoach.com/masterclassTo connect with Michelle:Podcast: https://lovelifeenergypodcastwithmichellechung.buzzsprout.com DM and follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/michellechungcoach/ DM and follow me on Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-chung-05550616/ Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@michellechungcoach Website link https://www.michellechungcoach.com Get the Book 'How to Stop Dating & Be In an Effortless, Committed Relationship' https://www.michellechungcoach.com/ebook-stopdating Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=how+to+stop+dating+%26+be+in+an+effortless&crid=1YSK06ASJDX05&sprefix=how+to+stop+dating+%26+be+in+an+effortless%2Caps%2C364&ref=nb_sb_nossAbout the Host: Mardi Winder is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

In this episode, I answer the most common questions about The Doctor Coach School™ certification—especially the new Entrepreneur Track. I walk through who it's for, how it's structured, why sales is a core competency (on purpose), and exactly what it takes to graduate. If you've been coaching informally or you feel called to do more than your current clinical role allows, this will help you see the full picture so you can make a confident decision.What we cover: What DCS is: A 9-month professional certification (with up to 18 months to complete) that trains transformational, belief-led coaches.Two tracks:Entrepreneur Track (now enrolling): for clinicians who want a coaching business or to integrate coaching into an existing practice.Leadership & Organizational Change Track (“Intrapreneur”—coming 2026): for those who want to drive change inside institutions.Who it's for: Clinical doctors (MD/DO, DDS/DMD, DPT, PharmD, PsyD/PhD—clinical, etc.) who are:Already the “go-to” person for coaching/advice and want mastery,Restless to help people directly (without bureaucracy), and/orReady to be paid for their purpose with rigor and ethics.What makes DCS different:Belief first — you become your first client (self-regulation, nervous system safety, embodied belief).Sales is a core competency — you'll learn ethical, high-converting sales and must sign at least one real client during certification.End-to-end transformation — you'll coach a real human from decision to result (not just peer practice).Structure & timeline:Phase 1: Coaching Self (8 weeks) — pre-recorded lessons, weekly live skills labs, peer + mentor coaching, reflection.Phase 2: Client Acquisition — story-selling, The Bridge framework, ethical sales calls, sales-call surgery, feedback. Goal: sign a client.Phase 3: Client Transformation — coach your client through your program using DCS methodology with ongoing support.Pace: Most complete in ~9 months; you have up to 18 months to finish depending on your program length and start point.Time commitment (typical week): ~4–6 hours (1–2h modules, live skills lab + mindset coaching, 1–2h peer coaching/reflection; in Phase 3, that time often becomes coaching your client).Support you get: Weekly skills labs, dedicated mindset coaching, mentor coaching, sales call feedback/surgery, marketing feedback, and ongoing check-ins so you don't disappear when life gets lifey.Evaluation & graduation: Ongoing observations, reflections, mentor feedback, and a final recorded session with your real client scored against ICF-aligned competencies and our internal rubric.

What if the stories you've been telling yourself for decades aren't even true? In this profound conversation, Noelle Cordeaux sits down with Deanna Moffitt, PCC—Lumia instructor, author of The Rewrite, and master of the art of questioning—to explore how the narratives we create in childhood shape every result we're getting in our lives today. From "I'm a burden" to "I'm not enough," these core wound stories live in our bodies and drive our behaviors—often without us even realizing it. But here's the good news: we can rewrite them. Listen in as Noelle and Deanna discuss Deanna's book The Rewrite – and dive into some of our deepest human insecurities, and what we can do about them. Deanna Moffitt, PCC, has worked as an independent consultant and entrepreneur for the past 19 years. Before that, she was a Senior IT Project Manager for a Fortune 1000 company and worked with the company's strategic acquisitions team. She is a senior instructor at Lumia and is ICF certified at the PCC level. She's delivered over 3,000 workshops both virtually and in person and has worked with companies and organizations throughout the US, Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Deanna has always been passionate about why humans act the way they act. Growing up in a chaotic household, she knew she didn't want the same experience for her adult self. Learning how to recognize and break the chain of generational trauma, limiting thoughts and beliefs, and exploring the power of questions instead of focusing on the “right” answer shifted everything for her. The Rewrite is an extension of her desire to help people reconnect with their ability to create their internal world and in doing so the external world rises up to meet that new self.  For more information, you can connect with Deanna on Instagram,  Linkedin, or on her website at www.deannamoffitt.com Everything Life Coaching is brought to you by Lumia-- at Lumia, we train and certify impact-driven coaches, making sure they've got all they need to build a business they love and transform lives, on their terms.

Listen in as Mardi Winder sits down with Dr. Tamara White, a counselor and coach based in Texas, for an insightful chat about stress, burnout, and how these issues can sneak up on anyone, especially during tough times like divorce. Dr. White, who's worked with a wide variety of people over the past 25 years, talks honestly about how burnout doesn't just happen overnight. It builds up slowly, often showing up first as sleepless nights, constant frustration, or just a general sense that everything feels harder than it should.During their conversation, Mardi and Dr. Tamara reflect on how today's always-on world, especially with social media, piles on the pressure and adds to that feeling of overwhelm. They share some real-life signs that you might be heading toward burnout and why it's important to notice these signals before things get too heavy. Dr. White also points out that asking for help isn't a weakness, whether it's from a coach, a therapist, or another trained professional, sometimes just talking to someone who “gets it” can make all the difference.To help listeners figure out where they stand, Dr. White offers a free Clarity Compass guide, which is designed to help people sort through their thoughts and stress levels.

This week, I'm so excited to be joined by Katie Hollingsworth, ICF-certified professional coach, mental performance expert, and founder of Krave Coaching. Katie has worked with athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders from rodeo, wrestling, and football to collegiate and pro athletes. She brings a one-of-a-kind blend of grit, neuroscience, and real-life western world experience to her coaching. With two decades in marketing, communications, and PR, plus years spent in the arena as a coach for the Oklahoma State Rodeo Team and Western Sports Foundation, Katie knows what it takes to perform under pressure and lead with clarity. She's helped hundreds of people sharpen their focus, overcome self-doubt, and unlock a competitive edge, and in this episode, she brings that insight to you. We talk about redefining success through different life stages, navigating burnout, and the moment Katie realized her own workaholic tendencies weren't serving her or her family. We also explore how mindset shapes performance, how to build internal self-trust, and what it looks like to parent kids in a way that nurtures healthy self-talk. Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or working on your own goals, this conversation is packed with clarity, encouragement, and actionable tools.
