What happens when a strategy coach combines AI and astrology to help clients build better systems? Amazing things. In this episode, I sit down with Robin Langford (also known as WickedVeracity) for a fascinating conversation that weaves through multiple disciplines and approaches to coaching.   In this episode, Robin shares insights about her coaching approach, her experience in my Reimagine Mastermind, and how she's expanding her business with new offers including an AI membership. You'll hear about the intersection of astrology, AI, and coaching, and how Robin uses these tools to help clients discover their unique design and create systems that work for them rather than trying to fit into someone else's mold.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/238

I've been surprised by how many people have questioned my decision to offer quarterly one-on-one coaching spots through 2025, suggesting I might be "going backwards" in my business. This couldn't be further from the truth.   In this episode, I share the strategic and personal reasons behind my decision to add customized one-on-one coaching back into my business model. Whether you're considering adding one-on-one coaching to supplement group programs, or you need to pivot temporarily for financial reasons, there's nothing about this that constitutes "going backwards. This episode is all about making responsive, strategic decisions that align with your values and business needs.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/236

I'm pulling back the curtain on the thoughts that plague even experienced coaches like me. From wondering why I have to work so hard, to fantasizing about quitting my business and getting a “regular” job, I've been there. But here's the truth: These thoughts aren't signs of failure or incompetence- they're completely normal. Every coach and entrepreneur faces them at some point.   By normalizing these thoughts, we can begin to strip away the shame and guilt that often hold us back. My hope is that by the end, you'll realize you're not alone- and that understanding these common struggles is the first step toward overcoming them and moving forward.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/235

Are you holding yourself to an impossible standard as a coach? I've noticed a troubling pattern among coaches—this underlying belief that because they're coaches, they should somehow transcend the human experience. They think they should have all the answers, never struggle, and be immune to the very challenges they help clients navigate.   In today's episode, I'm diving into why coaches often feel they should "know better" or "be better" than they currently are. I share specific examples of how this shows up in my coaching containers and explain why embracing your humanity actually makes you a more effective coach.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/233

Have you ever noticed how when you're trying to change something about yourself, you often swing from one extreme to the other before finding balance? This fascinating pattern is what I call "the pendulum effect" in coaching. Just like a physical pendulum that swings back and forth before settling in the middle, our behaviors and beliefs often follow this same trajectory when we're working on personal growth.   The beauty of understanding this pendulum effect is that it helps normalize what can otherwise feel like an uncomfortable or even alarming process. Today, I'm sharing how to recognize this pattern in yourself and your clients, why it happens naturally, and how you can intentionally use this concept to create powerful transformations.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/232

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I can't believe I'm back here again" or "I should be further along by now"? This belief that we're somehow starting over or regressing in our progress is one of the most common and damaging thoughts I hear from coaches. It's a sneaky mindset trap that not only makes you feel terrible but actively prevents you from solving the very problems you're facing.   Today I'm breaking down why this belief is so harmful, what's actually happening instead, and how to shift your perspective when these thoughts arise. I'll share real examples from my clients, hypothetical scenarios you might encounter with your own clients, and even my personal experiences with this mindset trap. By the end of this episode, you'll have practical tools to recognize when you or your clients are caught in this thinking pattern and know exactly how to move forward without the weight of shame or frustration.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/231

Male victimization, trauma, and grief are some of the issues that men have experienced on their journey that have influenced the way they see themselves. Practicing self-compassion and seeking support to manage psychological turmoil is a hard thing to do because, as men, we were taught to ignore it, forget it, and it will pass.

As coaches, we often learn specific techniques and tools that we believe will help our clients achieve their goals. However, not every client resonates with the same methods. Some may struggle with journaling, while others prefer talking through their thoughts instead of writing them down.   By taking a step back and considering the underlying purpose of each tool or technique, we can find alternative ways to help our clients create the same powerful results. This adaptability not only improves the coaching experience but also empowers clients to trust themselves and develop problem-solving skills they can use long after the coaching relationship ends.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/226
