In this episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast, we're diving into a conversation that might make you rethink how you're approaching your business and marketing. I've noticed over the years with clients, that in the first year or two, everything feels fresh and exciting, and their business grows quite successfully. But often, things begin to slow down. The momentum fades. It's frustrating, confusing and scary. Here's what I've observed is the BIGGEST reason why this happens: you've turned to marketing experts and social media gurus for advice on how to "do things right" and you've stopped listening to your own authentic expression and intuition. Chasing the “right” way is exactly what's keeping you stuck in your business growth. When you start relying on the outside noise instead of your own inner wisdom, your creativity and authenticity take a backseat—and your business suffers. Instead, it's time to stop looking outward and start looking inward. No marketing trend, no shiny new strategy is going to be your secret to success. YOU are. When you connect with your intuition, your spirit, and your unique essence, that's when your business comes alive again. Building a business from a place of soul alignment—where your foundation is rooted in who you are—changes everything. You start attracting clients more effortlessly, you feel confident in your decisions, and the growth starts to flow naturally. If you're feeling stuck or like you're constantly trying to fit into someone else's version of "good" marketing or business, this episode is for you. We're going to talk about how to tune back into your own voice and create a business that reflects your values, personality, and desires—because that's where real growth happens. Tune In To Learn: Why following traditional marketing advice is stalling your business The dangers of chasing the “right” way and how it kills your creativity How to tap into your "internal" confident & abundant CEO and build a soul-aligned business Why your uniqueness and inner wisdom are your greatest business assets How to shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance and possibility in your business   SCREENSHOT & TAG US ON INSTAGRAM: Ali: http://Instagram.com/punchdrunksoul   OUR LINKS & RESOURCES: 1.

Today, we're diving deep into the heart of self-acceptance and self-love and exploring what it means to truly love yourself unconditionally. On this episode we'll guide you through what it looks like to integrate and accept ALL parts of yourself, especially the ones you feel are flawed or unworthy, so you can grow into the fullest expression of yourself. This is what it means to feel WHOLE. This is what it means to love yourself. It's no secret that the path to self-love and wholeness isn't always easy, but it's always a journey worth the risk...no matter how daunting! In this episode, we'll share insights and practices that can help you navigate this path with grace and compassion. We'll explore the importance of acknowledging and embracing all parts of ourselves, even those we wish to hide or fix, and how doing so can lead to deeper healing and a more authentic life..and how all of this impacts you, your mission and your goals - whether that's in business, love, money or elsewhere. Self-belonging is about creating a safe, loving space within yourself where every part of you is accepted and valued. It's about understanding that your perceived flaws and weaknesses are just as valid and worthy of belonging as your strengths and "impressive" sides of you. By embracing your whole self, you unlock the potential for profound transformation and growth in every area of your life and business. This is HOW you love yourself fully and completely.   In this episode, you'll learn:

Welcome back to another episode of the Punch-Drunk Soul podcast! On today's episode, Jess Tomlinson, our Mastermind Success Coach, and I will be talking all about marketing your coaching or consulting business without social media!   This is a hot topic right now. Marketing your business on social media has been all the rage for the last 10 years or so for good reason. You can reach millions of people for FREE without ever having to leave your house. It's pretty cool. We love it for that reason.   But we also know what a cesspool social media can be sometimes. And we know that for many of our clients and followers, you guys find that your mental health is WAY better when you're not on social media. There's a lot of inauthentic, fake, manipulative crap out there that can often make us feel like we're on a never ending comparison wheel.   We totally get it. I have definitely had to set good boundaries with my social media time along with taking breaks sometimes, it's necessary for me!   But the truth is, you don't NEED social media to market your business successfully and get clients. Most people think it's necessary, but it's not. It's HELPFUL (again, because it's free to reach millions of people), but not necessary.   So, on this episode we're going to talk about how you can market your business and get clients without social media! Yes, without using social media at all!   STAY TUNED TO LEARN: How to market your business and get clients without using social media Some of our favorite strategies for marketing your business without social media Online and offline marketing strategies that don't require social media Real life stories and examples of coaches and consultants that have successfully grown their businesses without social media   Let us know what you thought of today's episode!

Welcome back to another episode of the Punch-Drunk Soul podcast! On today's episode I'm going to be discussing a listener's question that was sent to us about learning how to make your business financially stable to support your family. She asks "what are the steps I'm missing to make my business financially stable enough to support my family?” Tune in to learn the nine steps I advise my clients take when they are trying to make their business financially stable to support themselves and their families. These are the steps that I took to create predictability, reliability and stability in my income over the last few years so that when I do have kids, my income will be able to support our needs. I'm going to list the steps out below and go more into detail on this episode. This episode will be a mix of high level steps along with actionable insights for you to take away as you listen. So get out a notepad and get excited for mapping out your plan to take control of your finances and grow your business! Prepare Financially: Keep your day job or establish a stable source of income to cover your basic expenses, even if it's part-time. Skills, Mindset and Confidence Building: Invest in building your skills, developing confidence in yourself and your business, and developing a resilient and growth-oriented mindset. Market Research: Understand your target audience, their problems and their needs so you can clearly communicate and market to them effectively. Offer Development and Niche Identification: Define your services and identify your niche if you are offering online coaching. Financial Planning and Budgeting: Assess your financial situation and determine your family's bare minimum budget. Discuss your financial goals and best AND worst case scenarios with your partner if you have one. Long-Term Business Plan: Develop a 2-3 year business plan with income goals and a clear business model. Short-Term Goal Setting: Break down the 2-3 year plan into 90-day actionable and realistic goals, taking into account your available time and resources. Marketing and Networking: Network, provide value, borrow audiences and implement your marketing plan to attract clients. Without this step, all you have is a dream. Systematize & Scale Rinse and repeat what's working with your marketing until it becomes like a well oiled Machine and you know what to expect with the effort you put in. Then it becomes a system you can scale with team members. So there you have it - these are the steps I would take if I were starting over and trying to make my business financially stable to support my family! REMEMBER: stability and predictability in your business income takes TIME. Plan for it and give it the patience it needs to grow. This is not a one year plan. This is a two to three year plan - so be prepared for that and get the support you need to stick with it and be accountable to your plan if you need it.

Tune in as Traci Ferguson, our lead success coach inside Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator, and I chat allll about branding your coaching business today!

Join me & our lead success coach, Traci Ferguson as we share why you shouldn't be building out complex systems, funnels, or purchasing fancy tech platforms for your coaching biz if you're making under about $5k per month consistently.⁣ ⁣ Once you hit that income level it means you've clearly identified a fit in the market, you understand WHO your ideal clients are & HOW to market to them effectively.⁣ ⁣ We allll understand the appeal of funnels & backend systems that work for you to bring in clients. Who doesn't want qualified leads dropping in every day?⁣ ⁣ There is a time & place for those systems.

Once you've built up enough clients & income, THEN you can set up more of the automation that bring them to you⁣ ⁣ Most of our clients inside PTF don't have a website & usually have no more than 200-500 IG followers & they still enroll high-ticket clients.⁣ ⁣ And if you want to jump into working together here's how: 1️⃣Our 4-Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge for New Coaches to define the type of coach they should be ✨Punchdrunksoul.com/challenge 2️⃣Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator for new coaches who want to nail their niche, ideal client, develop a high-ticket signature coaching offer & their own proprietary coaching method, & enroll paid clients in 8 weeks ✨Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom or DM me “GO” now on Instagram 3️⃣ Scale with Soul the mastermind!

Join me and Jess Tomlinson, our leadership success coach in our mastermind, Scale with Soul, as we chat all about how to make sales less stressful and more FUN. We all LOVE to coach, that's why we chose this career path, right?! But we don't all love sales. In fact, most of us HATE sales. But the reality is, if you want your coaching business to create financial freedom for yourself and make a huge impact in other peoples' lives...then you NEED to get good at sales. Period. Now, there's an aligned way to do sales...and an icky way to do sales. And the truth is, that way is different for each person. For us, and the crew at Punch Drunk Soul, sales is about support. It's about helping people break through their own limitations and finally take a stand for themselves and say YES to what they truly desire. It's not about convincing someone that they need what you offer, and it's not about pushing someone to make a decision that they're not comfortable with yet. It's not about false promises, bait-and-switch tactics, or creating fake urgency. We don't do sales like the old-school boys do sales

We talk about the power of self awareness and what it takes to finally live life on purpose and just be HAPPY. We get into how Erin has overcome a long history of substance abuse in her family and how she uses her learnings to transform the lives of others now. We share how everything in your life has meaning and what you need to do to combine it all into a coaching program if you want to make a big impact in the world.   We also dig into Erin's idea of self-care for moms and why it's not all bubble baths and massages but it's really the deep inner work that helps us become the best parents and examples for our kids. We jam on how setting this example for our kids and clients is the best way to create the change we want to see in the world - by starting with ourselves.  I absolutely LOVED this episode and had such a good time recording it with Erin.

Mixing things up a bit today again as we do every once in a while! Today you're going to get jazzed up by a Facebook Live I did recently inside my Facebook group for Coaches - The Punch Drunk Soul Squad.  In this LIVE I share my thoughts on how I've learned to earn more while working less AND not feel guilty about it. There is a BIG connection between earning money and working hard in our society and it's caused by this hypermasculine focus on action and effort. As women, most of us don't thrive in this energy, yet we've been taught that this is the only way to get ahead. I want to challenge that. I want YOU to challenge that. I want you to challenge the belief that making money has to be hard and that you can only earn a lot if you work really hard and make it a struggle. This was something that came up for me recently as my business continues to grow and I continue to hire team members.  I had this feeling of, well if I pass off more work to more team members, then I don't deserve to be earning more. I can't possibly earn MORE and work even LESS than I do now...can I? And then I realized WOW, I've got some major limiting beliefs and worthiness wounds coming up right now. So I share on this Facebook Live and episode here how I worked through those blocks so that I can move forward with the growth of my business and the lifestyle I desire. I don't have to pick one or the other. I don't have to pick a successful, wildly profitable business OR an ease-filed, fun life. I can have both. Here's how I do it.  Listen in to this episode if you want to conquer your worthiness blocks, FEEL the truth that business can be fun and making money can be easy, and learn the steps I've taken to grow my business while working never more than 40, or usually even 30 hours a week. If you want to learn how to start your coaching business without certification and cut out ALL the busy-work tasks so you can do this with ease and not overwhelm go to punchdrunksoul.com/coach101 to download our free guide to get started TODAY.  There's a myth in the coaching industry that you need a coaching certification or years of experience in your particular area BEFORE you can coach AND that's simply not true.

Punchdrunksoul.com/coach101   Aha Moments: How to release your worthiness wounds and feel whole How to find ease and joy with your work How to earn more while working less hours without the guilt The blocks I've been working through personally as I continue to grow my business and how I stay grounded How our hyper-masculine society has caused burnout and exhaustion for most women Why your vision is SO important and how to make it light YOU up What we can do as feminine beings to come home to ourselves, love ourselves, and do the work we love doing while getting paid generously for it

Join me and Dia Noble who is a coach helping women understand their values and purpose so that they can say NO to what doesn't serve them and create a life they'll love. She's the founder of the Journey To NO coaching program that helps women make themselves the priority by creating a self-care routine that focuses on their needs.  Dia is a recent graduate of our Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator program and a current student in our Scale with Soul Mastermind. She enrolled 3 clients at the end of PTF and has been growing her business and online presence ever since! In this episode we get into Dia's journey understanding and feeling her emotions, discovering her worthiness, breaking the habit of overthinking everything, self-sabotage, and a fear of marketing herself online.  We also dive into figuring out your special zone of genius and breaking through your upper limits in your career and relationship.  One important point we hit on that I want to make sure ALL of you hear is this - BUILD YOUR PROGRAM WHILE YOU WORK WITH SOMEONE.  We talk about the many benefits this business model has and why it helps you get started faster than any other method out there. Why it's actually detrimental to your business if you try to build your program before anyone enrolls in it. And how it serves your clients at a different level than you can normally provide. We also, of course, touch on how to stay in alignment, find your center and maintain that inner peace throughout your entrepreneurial and life journey.  If you want to learn how to start your coaching business without certification and cut out ALL the busy-work tasks so you can do this with ease and not overwhelm go to punchdrunksoul.com/coach101 to download our free guide to get started TODAY.  Seriously, go do that now. Right now...there's no point in waiting any longer to start the business of your dreams and serve people who need your help. Let's do it! Punchdrunksoul.com/coach101   Aha Moments: How to find your Zone of Genius What it means to be in alignment and how to find it How to stop overthinking and just take action! Learning to show up online and market yourself when you're afraid of judgment and just don't like it! Why you should always sell your program BEFORE you create it! Why hire a coach?

Today we're airing an episode with a friend and client of mine, Jenna Dawn Morton who I actually met in another mastermind back in 2019! Jenna Morton is an extremely lively, and passionate health coach, who helps women hit their energy and weight loss goals within 6 weeks, all without dieting.   Jenna shares really openly and vulnerably in this episode so I know many of you guys are going to relate to her story.  Listen in to find out how Jenna has been able to transition successfully out of her network marketing career that no longer aligned with her, and into her own coaching business, while managing her autoimmune illness and landing paid clients.   On this episode we talk about our health and how it's impacted both of us - including racking up debt due to medical expenses. How we understand what it's like to truly struggle with not having your life in your control.  We talk about how Jenna was able to transition out of a business that wasn't aligned with her after she continued to grow and what it took to leave that business; including how she handled a lot of judgement and hate from women who were once her friends.   We dive into Jenna's childhood trauma around being adopted, her fear of abandonment and how she's overcome them in order to have the success and freedom she has now. Love that we touch on how understanding our emotions was the key for both Jenna and I to change and heal.  So buckle in and get ready for a deep dive into Jenna's life and how she was able to start her coaching business using different tactics than the ones she used to use in network marketing and direct sales.  Be sure to let us know if you're listening by posting a screenshot of this episode and tagging us on instagram, Jenna is @jennadawn.m and I'm at @punchdrunksoul and let us know what you think of this interview!   Aha Moments:   How to transition out of network marketing without succumbing to the backlash from team members The different way Jenna has been building her coaching business without using the same tactics she used back in her network marketing days How Jenna has healed from her abandonment wound after her mother left her life for 7 years How Jenna keeps her energy and motivation high while taking good care of her body in order to have success with an autoimmune illness Overcoming the idea that you are “broken” and how to heal The importance of having people who are on the same journey with you   Linksinstagram.com/sol.inflow Website: solinflow.com Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom

Today we're chatting with Ola Walczyk, a graduate of our program Path to Freedom and current member of our Scale with Soul Mastermind. Ola is a brand new coach who's worked with 2 clients so far since she started her business in August and just this Sunday she enrolled her third client for $1800 or 1500 Euros.  I'm excited to bring you this episode today because we've witnessed first hand Ola's amazing transformation - from a woman who was so afraid to invest in herself and believe in herself that she almost said NO to this path.   She tells us on this podcast how she didnt believe she was worthy of investing in herself, didn't think she was good enough to be a coach, and kept letting other people's opinions of the coaching industry bother her to the point where she almost gave up on this dream.   This is a beautiful podcast interview for anyone out there who feels like the people in their lives just dont GET THEM. Ola felt the same and, especially being in Europe where coaching is often viewed as a joke, Ola struggled with other people's judgements, including her family.   The steps she took in Path to Freedom gave her the confidence she needed to finally believe in herself, know her true worth and value and start her coaching business with a bang. Now even her father proudly tells people that his daughter is a mentor and has her own company. What a SHIFT.   This is what happens when you finally CLAIM what you want. When you OWN your dreams, the people who used to doubt you will be inspired by you.    I've seen this in my own life with my best friend even. I remember she told me this was a crazy idea and that I should just get a regular job like everyone else! Well 2 years later, she actually joined my program and loved it!    How things change when we really show up for ourselves and claim what we want.   You can have anything you want, but you have to BELIEVE you are worthy and deserving of it. You have th BELIEVE that it's meant for you. You have to BELIEVE in yourself.   If you don't, it will never happen. Period.    So enjoy this episode as Ola tells us how she was able to overcome her fears of being judged and step out into the world as a proud coach and confidently land high ticket clients.   Before we jump into the interview, I want to remind those of you listening...right now we have a special opportunity for new and aspiring coaches: we are looking for just 5 motivated women who want to make $10K in the next 90 days as coaches. You must be willing to get out of your comfort zone and be coachable. You must also be ready and capable of working with 2-5 of your own clients within this time frame.    If that's you, please email me about this at Ali@Punchdrunksoul and just put $10K in the body so I know what opportunity you're inquiring about so I can follow up and send you the details.    If you enjoy this episode I'd love for you to let us know by sharing it on your Instagram stories and tagging us! I'm @punchdrunksoul and Ola is @HelloImOla.    OK let's get into this interview - you're going to love it!   Aha Moments:   How to be a confident coach even when you have NO one supporting your dreams Why you don't need to travel to find yourself and your purpose - how to do it at home now! The more action you take, the more clarity you get How to feel confident as a coach without a certification background The bad investment Ola made in a coach that taught her what to look for in the right coach Why your story is what sells, not your product or service How Ola's had success by not having a Plan B   Links:   Follow Ola On Instagram: Instagram.com/HelloImOla   To learn more about Path to Freedom Coach Academy click here Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom

Today I'm sharing an interview with Christine Dovidio who is a coach working with people to help them ease their mental health and autoimmune issues without medication so they can feel happier and more present in their lives.    Christine is a single mom who has always been working jobs that never felt aligned with her soul or her purpose. She was feeling mentally & emotionally drained at the end of each work day and as the years passed she noticed a theme. She always felt unsettled in what she was doing but she always felt aligned & happy when she was being of service to others.   So in 2018 she started a Reiki business and recently she decided she also wanted to become a coach, which is when she stumbled across me and Punch Drunk Soul and my 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge.   In just 6 weeks Christine was able to land her first $700 coaching client and she has continued working with clients since the program ended. For the first time in her life she feels truly aligned with the work she is doing and that she's on the right path, doing what she's meant to be doing.    Listen in on this episode if you've ever struggled with anxiety, depression, or panic attacks. Listen in if you want a reminder of why alone time is so important or why your kids are your greatest motivator. Listen in if you want to hear how to overcome shyness to promote your business, something Christine had to overcome early on in Path to Freedom.   If you enjoy this episode I'd love for you to let us know by sharing it on your Instagram stories and tagging us!

Her name is Nicole Miller and I'm excited to share her story with you guys today because she is just another example of how starting your own coaching business is POSSIBLE for anyone who feels a calling for it.    Nicole didn't have any special friends in high places or fancy skills you don't happen to know about that's made her business successful. In fact, Nicole has a pretty tough past. In what seems like a lifetime ago, Nicole was into drugs and landed in prison at one point, all while never feeling good in her body.   Now, Nicole is a happy, healthy mother and wife, prison counselor and coach for women, and the founder of The Life I Crave. She helps women transform their relationships with food and their body. As someone who overcame years of chronic dieting and negative self image, she has a deep passion for helping other women discover their own true worth so they can live from a place of joy and confidence. Between coaching and her 10+ years working as a counselor Nicole has helped hundreds of people transform their lives.    Listen in to this interview if you need a kick in the butt to get your business started because Nicole's story is as motivational as it is practical.    One thing to take away from this interview is this - if YOU don't believe you can do it, you will never be successful.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast - the best podcast for new and aspiring coaches who want to jumpstart and grow soul aligned businesses! Let's get into this interview today! You guys are going to LOVE it.   Today I'm sharing an interview with Morgan Meese.    Morgan is a business mentor, physical therapist, and wellness coach. After trying out a Physical Therapist job in a corporate position right after school, she quickly realized that she wanted more out of life than a 9-5 job that only left her with severe anxiety and depression. She reached out to me early on when she was first starting to realize this but she was scared to take the leap into her own business.    We kept in contact and about 6 months later...she was ready, she had had enough of the 9-5 atmosphere. During Path to Freedom she started her own business with a cash-based physical therapy practice where she was in charge of the way she helped her clients made her feel alive again. She started developing a deeper wellness coaching program but then realized her passion lied more in business. When the Corona Virus hit she was already well positioned, having had started seeing clients virtually, and soon enough other practitioners started reaching out to her asking her to help them start their telehealth practices.   That's where her program, 30 Day Telehealth Launch Intensive, was born! She now teaches other clinicians how to set up their own telehealth practices fast so they can start working with clients in a way that serves them too.   This interview is special because Morgan and I have known each other for a while now and this is essentially just a coffee chat with friends that you get to listen in on. We focus a lot on how focusing on one idea is really important instead of spreading yourself too thin, why everyone can and should start their own business these days, how to start your business with just ONE client at a time, and so much more.   Morgan also shares some important tips on how to find the right coach for you because she and I both believe that you should be investing in yourself and your business the same way people invest in college education.    If you're curious about the program Morgan graduated from, Path to Freedom, you can check it out at Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom. Enrollment just opened up today for the next few days until spots fill up! Be sure to book a call to see if it's a good fit before all the call times are taken! This is a great episode for new or aspiring coaches who need a jolt of inspiration to just get out there and start their business!   Again, if you're interested in learning more about the program Morgan just graduated from you can go to Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom because we are opening up the program for enrollment today for just a few days until Monday the 15th. You can book a call with my team and I to discuss if this program is the right fit for you. Please note that not everyone will be admitted into the program, it's an invitation only program and the women are hand-picked by our enrollment team to join.   Ok, let's get into this interview! Aha Moments:   Why you need to hone in on one idea and focus to have success How to pick the right business idea to pursue Why it's such a big deal to enroll your first client  Why everyone should start a business these days How to map out what success looks like for you Why working with a mentor or coach is the fast track to your goals How to find the right coach for you   Links:   Morgan's Telehealth FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cashbasedtelehealth/ Instagram: Instagram.com/drmorganmeese  Website: thewellphysio.com.

From teacher for 9 years to paid coach in 6 weeks...let's do this interview with Elana R Diaz!    Elana started on a journey in October 2019 to figure out what she would do outside of education because she knew it was no longer what she wanted to do. She shares with us on this episode that the worst thing you can do when you're unhappy with something is to stay in it. She even started to realize that her being unhappy in her job was impacting her relationships negatively.    But it was scary to think about leaving teaching because it was all she had ever known professionally and it was also what she thought she SHOULD do after making it her college degree and spending so many years teaching already.    But she realized a lot of the traits she loves about teaching are traits that make a great coach so she decided to check out my free 4 day Soul Aligned Biz challenge and she has just hit the ground running ever since.    Through some deep diving, facing her fears, overcoming judgement, she landed on her soul-aligned niche: helping women release shame and guilt after abortion so they can enjoy their lives and make a future for themselves.    In this episode we talk a lot about what it's like to invest in yourself and how it completely changed the way Elana shows up for herself, her life and her goals. Knowing that she's invested in herself makes her feel like she finally believes in herself - which I'll be the first one to tell you is the first ingredient in success - belief in yourself. Without it, how can you expect to succeed?   Elana also talks about the struggles she faced around not being qualified or “good enough” to coach and how she overcame that fear. What it was like to finally put herself first, and what it's like to start working with her first client.   Get ready for a fun, inspiring story from this new badass coach Elana Diaz who in 6 weeks started working with her first paid client and is now well on her way to creating a full time coaching business in our scale with soul mastermind!   I know you are going to love this podcast, especially if you are curious about coaching but you just don't think you're qualified or could really make it a reality. Literally just 2 months ago, Elana was just like you. She had never really considered coaching as a true career path, and yet here she is today, confident, coaching her first paid client and absolutely loving her new found fulfillment.    If you enjoy this episode I'd love for you to let us know by sharing it on your Instagram stories and tagging us!

So today we're about to get super woo! If you like super woo, stay on! If you don't this might not be the episode for you but I encourage you to listen because we get into some REALLY good stuff.   Today I'm bringing on Christy Whitman. Christy is a Transformational Leader, Celebrity Coach and the New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Having It All. She has appeared on "Today" and The Morning Show and her work has been featured in People Magazine, Seventeen, Woman's Day, Hollywood Life, and Teen Vogue, among others. Christy is the CEO and founder of the Quantum Success Learning Academy & Quantum Success Coaching Academy.   This interview is almost all about the corona virus, how to manage your emotions and deal with the fears coming up. We also towards the end get into how managing your thoughts and emotions impacts your business and success. We don't get into Christy's story quite as much as normal on this show because it seemed there was a different direction this episode was meant to take!   So here's the woo part - something that I discovered while interviewing Christy is that she's also able to channel light beings and deliver divine messages to us through her. So cool right!? I've never had the experience of speaking with channeled beings before so I'm super awkward as I welcome them onto the show!   But I used the opportunity to speak to The Council, as they call themselves, to ask about this Coronavirus crisis and how we should all handle it.    I think you guys will love hearing the wisdom they share and how you can use it to grow right now.   If you can open your mind to this idea of someone being able to channel other beings then you will really enjoy and get so much from this episode!   I love love love this episode because it hits home for me on so many levels. I live, eat and breathe mindset work, emotional processing work, and alignment work and we really get into the practicals of HOW to do each of these things. Which is so helpful because when you can do each of these things, you WILL 100% without a doubt have success in your life and create what you want.    And for Christy, it all started with a hairstylist. Let's dive into this episode.

I'm your host Ali Daniel of course.    Today I'm back with an interview with Jennifer Longmore - CEO of soul journeys, elite business coach, best selling author, podcaster and world-renowned as a leading authority on soul purpose. I'm excited to dive into this episode with you guys because we dive into all sorts of topics from Jennifer's journey, bending time & space, Akashic records - what they are and how to use them, when to pivot your business, and SO much more.    This is a juicy episode, filled to the brim with tips, insights and shifts for you to start making in your business now.    One of my favorite takeaways from this episode is when Jennifer talks about doing whatever it takes for your business - to rise above fears and laziness, period, to serve your clients.    This hit me hard because I am by nature, a creature of comfort and I'll just say it...laziness! I'm not the type of person who LOVES hard work. I'm just not. So I've built my business in a way that incorporates a lot of down time and time for fun. But in the beginning I definitely struggled with this. Sometimes laziness would kick in and I just wouldn't put in the work necessary.   Once I started investing heavily in myself, that kind of kicked my laziness to the curb, so that got handled. But if this resonates with any of you out there, I feel ya.    Not everyone is into the whole hustle hard mentality. And that can be hard if you're trying to start a business because you DO have to put in effort and face your fears and overcome laziness.    One of my other favorite parts of this episode is when we get into the Akashic records, what they are, how Jennifer uses them for guidance, and what the records have to say about this Covid19 crisis and how to handle it.    Jennifer shares what the records advise us to do during this time so be sure to listen in closely for that!   We also touch on the key activities you need to be working on right now in your business if you're trying to make some money. I like to call them revenue-generating activities, Jennifer calls them High Dividend Activities. Whatever YOU want to call them, you have to do these every single week!   Be sure to let us know if you're listening by posting a screenshot of this episode and tagging us on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Jennifer is @JenniferLongmore  and let us know what you think of this interview!   Aha Moments:   Jennifer's #1 piece of advice and why you MUST implement it if you want to see results fast in your business The only 2 issues in business and how to overcome them What you should be making your #1 priority when starting your coaching business What are high-dividend activities and why you need to be doing at least one every day Why investing in ourselves isn't as big of a gamble as we think it is What the Akashic records want us to know about this covid19 crisis and how to respond   Links   Website: http://www.souljourneys.ca Twitter:  jenlongmore Facebook: @soulpurposeexpert Facebook Group: The Purpose Posse Instagram: @JenniferLongmore Jennifer's freebie for healing money blocks: SoulJourney.ca/money   Join the Path to Freedom Waitlist 

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I'm your host Ali Daniel.    Today I'm bringing on a fellow business coach, Lina Escamilla who helps entrepreneurs in a variety of business types - from consultants, freelancers, product based businesses, position their offer and message in front of hundreds of people. By teaching them how to grow their email list, audience and influence — with authenticity.   I'm excited to share this interview with you guys today because we hit on a lot of really timely topics - from the Corona virus and how it's going to change working culture and the economy, what the difference is between followers and leaders and how you can learn to step into your authentic power right now to lead, to what to do when you're not getting any sales in your business.    I love that we discuss how sooo much of the online business world has still been taboo - up until this point in our society. How it used to be looked upon as volatile, risky but not we've seen a shift where typically “stable” career paths and jobs are now being taken away at a moments notice. Leaving us to think about how “stable” they really were?    There is this notion that entrepreneurship is risky but what's riskier? Relying on yourself and never being able to get fired or laid off? Or relying on someone else to pay you?    You're going to love this episode if you're an ambitious women with some spirituality and a touch of sass mixed in you! Lina brings the heat in this interview with some pro-tips on marketing, sales, and stepping into your authentic power online. Be sure to give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Lina is @LinaEscamilla  and let us know what you think of this interview!   Aha Moments:   How Covid19 is going to change working culture and the economy  What the difference is between being a follower and a leader  How to step into your authentic power right now to lead and inspire others What to do when you're not getting any sales Getting clarity on your niche and how when you speak to everyone you sell to no one The myth of the “stable” 9-5 and how online business is going to boom moving forward How you can't learn everything you need to know from just ONE program - your business is a living breathing entity that needs growth!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I'm your host Ali Daniel.    Before we dive into today's episode I want to remind you guys about the virtual retreat series I'm hosting this Saturday, April 4th and next Saturday, April 11th from 11:30 am EST to 2:30pm EST, called Learn to Lead in Life & Biz During Covid19.    This is for women who would like to take advantage of this time to grow, rise up as leaders and create a rock solid mindset to get through this time of hardship, change and uncertainty and thrive.    During times of change and uncertainty, there is always hardship, but there is also SO much opportunity.   Think of this as a virtual women's mini retreat for women around the world to come together in our time of need. If you want to join us on Saturday you can go to Punchdrunksoul.com/virtualretreat   We will have former podcast guests, Serena Ryan and Kendra Delahooke providing trainings and workshopping sessions around homeschooling your kids, working from home and staying calm and grounded at the same time. Serena will be diving deep into how she's been able to homeschool 2 young boys while building a business and Kendra will be teaching and leading a workshop around calming your nervous system during times of stress and also how to calm your children's nervous systems as well.    Next Saturday we will have Brooke Ritchie, who is actually today's podcast guest, and the mindset coach in my mastermind, Scale with Soul, come on and do a training around money mindset, overcoming money blocks and fears and tapping into abundance.    And it will all be FREE. We're combining forces to put together a nourishing, healing retreat worth at least $1,000 all free to you. I want to support you guys and not only help you get through this crisis but come out stronger and more successful on the other side.    If you'd like to join us, you can go to punchdrunksoul.com/virtualretreat   Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled programming!    Today on the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast I'm bringing on a good friend, Brooke Ritchie, as I mentioned a minute ago, who I've watched grow, not only in business but personally as well, over the last year.    Literally just one year ago, Brooke had a negative balance in her bank account and was borrowing money to make ends meet. Today, Brooke has a thriving coaching business, in fact she generated $100,000 in sales in just the first 2 months of this year. Brooke's story is incredible and we only just scratch the surface but the main takeaway from Brooke's story is - DO THE MINDSET WORK.   Brooke is a mindset coach who helps entrepreneurs overcome money mindset blocks. She has a Master's degree in Somatic Psychology and worked as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. She has professional training in massage therapy, bodywork, somatic experiencing, and energy work - among many other approaches.    She owned and operated her own business as a yoga and dance instructor for a decade, and brings both mindfulness as well as somatic approaches to her group coaching and 1:1 work.    She is also licensed as a Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner and is trained in Deep Transformational Coaching. She became interested in money mindset specifically to support entrepreneurs in earning their true potential. She has worked with hundreds of people over the years to help them live more successful and fulfilled lives and now, since she's had such massive success in her coaching business, I've recruited her on as my mindset and money coach in my Mastermind, Scale with Soul.    Brooke is a testament to just how important the mindset work is. To become conscious of your negative thought loops and rewire them to serve you should be your #1 priority, especially in times like this.   Brooke works on her mindset every single day and has been such an inspiration for me to watch her go from a shy, extremely unconfident coach to sharing her gifts with the world and creating abundance not only for herself but for her clients.    I mean Brooke went to one event and created $10,000 of income from it! Brooke is the QUEEN at manifesting because she's been practicing a few specific tools on repeat for the last year.   Think about what you want to create. If all it took was working on your mindset for one year, every single day to achieve it, would you be willing to do it? Now one of the important things Brooke and I mention on this episode is it's not JUST mindset work, but getting into the right mindset and THEN taking action. Not the other way around.   You must first do the mindset work and THEN take action. This is the key I think so many people are missing.    This episode brings us so many juicy tips, from how to do inner child work and why it will help you heal your triggers, to overcoming imposter syndrome and the need to keep piling on experience and certifications, to landing clients without any online presence. This episode has everything you need to get started and thrive in your business, seriously.   So if you're someone who's aching to get her coaching business started but feeling like you just don't have the experience yet, or you have already started but you're like “Where do I find clients?!” this episode is for you.   Be sure to give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Brooke is @brightbeautycoaching and let us what you think of this interview!   Pressing play now.   Aha Moments:   Why deeply listening and reflective listening are the best skills you can learn as a coach 3 steps to a rock solid mindset to help you achieve your goals How to give space to fear to enable you to overcome it The tools Brooke uses daily to take her from in debt to earning over $100K this year What is inner child work and how to use it on your own to overcome your fears Why you should actually thank your triggers and work with them instead of avoid or push them away   Links & Mentions:   Instagram.com/brightbeautycoaching.com   Brightbeautycoaching.com   Punchdrunksoul.com/virtualretreat

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I'm your host Ali Daniel.    Before we dive into today's episode I want to share the Love Note I wrote to my email list last week.    We are in unprecedented times - and I want you to hear this. STAY CALM. I have something FREE to offer you at the end of this email ❤️️   Now more than ever is the time we need to band together and support each other. Now more than ever, community, connection and support is essential.   The Universe is giving us a sign - to SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. All of us. Every single human being on the planet.   Never before in the history of the world has something like this happened. Something that caused the whole world to hit the "pause" button. But it's happening now.   Right now we have an opportunity to pause. To go within. To rest. To reconnect back to ourselves. To stay at home. To get to know ourselves. To connect with loved ones. To rediscover the joys of doing nothing. To play. To learn. To ponder the meaning of our lives.   These are hard times, yes. There's no denying it. Many people have lost jobs, lost family members, lost their sense of security and safety. But fear not - what's available to you now is discovering your inherent safety and security within yourself.   We cannot panic in times like this. We cannot succumb to fear and mania. We MUST stay strong, centered, grounded. We must question our fear-based thoughts and beliefs. We must reassure our friends and family members. We must stay calm for our children. This will not last, this too shall pass. And when it does, you will be recognized as someone who LED others through this crisis.   Right now we have billions of people learning new ways of being, new ways of living, new ways of working and society is ripe for massive changes. In the coming weeks and months we will see a HUGE boom in the coaching industry. Because now more than ever people are ready for change. People are ready for growth. People are ready for fulfilling their purpose, for finding their dream jobs, for creating true love.   Now more than ever is our time to rise as leaders and coaches of the world. People NEED guidance, they need someone to trust, they need someone to support them. They need someone to help show them the way through their problems.   I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times.   COACHES ARE THE FUTURE. COACHES WILL LEAD THE WORLD.   So right now is your time. You MUST rise to the occasion. You must not shrink back in fear and give up or refuse to start. Now more than ever before, people NEED your voice. They NEED your message. They NEED your guidance.   Will you rise up and share your gifts and help them in their biggest time of need? Or will you hide away in fear?   In fear that no one can afford to work with you?   In fear that no one will want to invest right now?   In fear that you won't be able to make it?   We need to QUESTION these thoughts and beliefs. Because there are people out there now more than ever before ready to make changes. Recognizing their own mortality and the preciousness of life. They WANT change and they want it now.   Now is the time to ask yourself - how can I serve? How can I provide value to my audience who needs me? What can I do to support?   I've been asking my clients and myself these questions the last few days and I have been trying to come up with something that would create the most impact.   Here's what I want to offer you all in support and to be in service to you in your time of need - a virtual women's mini retreat.   This is for women who would like to take advantage of this time to grow, lead and create their own income starting now so you never again have to rely on someone else or wonder how secure your income is. I, personally, along with a few other handpicked coaches I ask to support me in this, will mentor you through this time during this women's retreat and however many more I feel called to offer moving forward.   During times of change and uncertainty, there is always hardship, but there is also SO much opportunity.   Think of this as a virtual women's mini retreat for women around the world to come together in our time of need.    There will be more than one retreat, so you can look forward to trainings on: How to step up as a leader in times of crisis What you can do to prepare yourself and your business for the aftermath of this pandemic How to homeschool your kids, work on your business and stay sane How to build a bullet proof mindset to weather any storm How to calm your nervous system and ease anxiety for yourself AND your children How to keep an abundant mindset and clear money blocks and fears How to deepen your sense of inner peace and security at a time like this And it will all be FREE. I want to support you guys and not only help you get through this crisis but come out stronger and more successful on the other side.    If you'd like to join us, you can go to punchdrunksoul.com/virtualretreat   Please, can I ask that you share this with ONE friend (or more) who you can invite to attend with you and who you think may benefit from something like this. Send them the link punchdrunksoul.com/virtualretreat.    Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled programming!    In this episode I'm interviewing Maya Gaddie. Maya is a business coach and mentor for full-time coaches who are ready to create the ultimate client experience for their clients. She has helped over 300 coaches create purposeful and profitable signature programs online and now she works with her clients to easily and successfully fine-tune their onboarding and offboarding process so that they are no longer the bottleneck in their business.    I'm SO excited to share this interview with you guys today because we get to take a look into Maya's 9 year old business - from the moment she decided to step away from her 9-5 career, to launching her first course (that she sold for just $10 with a $1 upsell for 1:1 coaching), to how she's invested over $200,000 in her business over the course of her 9 years.    What a fun this episode this is. I've never had the opportunity to really peel back the layers of anyone's business so in depth on this podcast before. I know you guys are going to love hearing about the evolution of not only Maya's business, but mine as well as we swap stories of how our coaching businesses have grown and changed over time.    We also talk about the Corona Virus and how we might just be on the cusp of another personal growth revolution as people spend more time getting quiet, reflecting, spending time alone, being still, reading, and learning new ways of being in the absence of work life and the hustle bustle grind of the 9-5 rat race. How maybe this will be the time for people to really reconnect back to what life is TRULY about - having fun and that when this thing blows over - or even DURING it, we might see a surge in self-exploration and personal growth investments.    What I love about this episode is that we get to learn a few things from Maya - 1) How sustainable your own coaching business can be throughout a decade 2) How your business changes and adapts to you over time 3) How and why to focus in on ONE thing to be successful in your business 4) Starting where you're at and not trying to be perfect before you start, and so much more.    Be sure to give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Maya is @MayaGaddie and let us know what you think of this interview!   Aha Moments:   How Maya built up the courage to leave the corporate world and start her own business What Maya did to enroll 15 people in her first online program (the best and simplest marketing strategy you'll ever learn) Understanding the evolution of Maya's business from Day 1 to Year 9 and how it wasn't really fully aligned with her when she started (hint: neither was mine!) How new coaches can set themselves up early on for the best onboarding and offboarding processes and client experiences NOW Why you need to focus in on ONE thing to be successful in your business and how to PICK that one thing How Maya has invested $200,000 in her business over the last 9 years Why the Corona Virus might just be the best thing for coaches around the world Links: Instagram.com/mayagaddie Mayagaddie.com MayaGaddie.com/Checklist Punchdrunksoul.com/virtualretreat - Join us for our FREE virtual retreat series - Learn to Lead during Covid19 :)

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I'm your host Ali Daniel. Today I have a friend and fellow coach, Kendra Delahooke on the show!    Kendra is also a licensed marriage and family therapist who now specializes in parent coaching and helping children overcome anxiety and related challenges. She loves supporting families to make parenting easier and more enjoyable. She has completed training in DIR Floortime, somatic, and trauma therapies which we start to dive into on this episode and how Kendra uses her training and knowledge of these practices in her coaching business. As her coaching business has started to take off in the last year, Kendra has also had the opportunity to start speaking and presenting to parents at schools, conferences and even other major companies like Snapchat about her work.    I'm thrilled to share this episode with you guys because we get into some practical tools you can use to calm your anxiety, cast out fear, and break out of the small life you've been conditioned to pursue.    Kendra shares how she was able to overcome a lot of her fear and anxiety around teaching and being a coach by getting in touch with her WHY and how the enneagram has helped her understand her inherent tendencies and break through her perceived barriers.    We also dive into each person's individual wiring and how it affects how we perceive situations differently and why some people are afraid of crowds while others aren't and how we can start to use the way we're wired to manage stress, anxiety, fear and so on.    Kendra and I both relate to being 9's on the enneagram and how through our businesses we've been able to heal and fulfill our unmet childhood needs - which for the both of us happens to be not being “seen.”   What I love about this episode is it gives us a full well-rounded view of how our bodies are emotional, physical, mental systems and that understanding each part will help us function more fully as a whole and have more success. We can't simply strive to understand pieces of the whole system, we need to understand how they all work together to make us who we are and I think this episode gives us a good baseline for starting to understand ourselves in the full picture.    I know you'll enjoy this interview if you love science and a little bit of the woo-woo because we get into both to better help you understand yourself!   Be sure to give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Kendra is @kendra_mft) and let us what you think of this interview!   Let's dig in.   Aha Moments:   How to understand your body's wiring to help you calm your anxiety Using the enneagram as a tool for personal growth How to manage your anxiety with this 1 simple practice and question you can ask yourself Using your WHY to help you overcome your fears more effectively  How Kendra transitioned her traditional therapy practice into a coaching practice to increase her income and conserve more energy How emotional and mental blocks show up as physical symptoms in the body Why understanding your unmet childhood needs weren't met as a child can help you grow  Links:   Instagram.com/kendra_mft   www.kendradelahooke.com   Join the Path to Freedom Waitlist Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I'm your host Ali Daniel.    I'm joined by Amanda Silvas today! Amanda is a speaker, teacher and coach who helps women discover their greater purpose and cultivate deeper self-love and awareness through her in person events, workshops and online programs.    I wanted to bring Amanda on today because I think she has a really unique perspective on starting her coaching business. First, she helped her husband build his to 6-figures, operating behind the scenes. But she began to realize that by not creating her own meaningful work and impact, she wasn't fulfilling her OWN deeper purpose and calling.    So after months of hiding in fear, wondering what other people would think, que the “Who does she think she IS” thoughts, Amanda decided to start showing up and announce that she was starting her own coaching business. On this episode we talk about those insidious stories and critical self-talk that keep us from showing up. The ones that keep us playing small and hiding, preventing others from hearing our message.    We talk about how to find your purpose, how to understand your values and WHY they're so important to feeling fulfilled in your life. We talk about the best thing you can do for yourself if you're feeling stagnant or stuck and how we both got out of our ruts by using this same exact strategy that her and I BOTH now teach!   We also dive into the 3 stages of life and how to understand what stage you're in and how to use it to work through the obstacles you face. Amanda shares how so many of us can get caught up in one stage by learning TOO much and not taking action but what you can ask yourself to flip the switch and get out of that mode.   I loved hearing Amanda's unique journey of how she got to this point in her coaching business and how she's been able to use her many years of knowledge and experience in personal growth and relationships to help other women find success in their own lives.   Amanda just radiates warmth and love and I appreciate all the nuggets of wisdom she had to share on this episode. If you have the opportunity to learn from her or attend one of her events, you should jump on the chance! Her Las Vegas JoyRide event is coming up on the 21st and 22nd and you can either attend LIVE or get a virtual ticket which is really cool!    Be sure to give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Amanda is @Iam_AmandaSilvas) and let us what you think of this interview!   Let's dig in.   Aha Moments:   How Amanda and her husband overcame the fear and imposter syndrome belief “Who am I to be coaching anyone when I'm so young?” How to find your values and use them to feel aligned with your purpose and get out of feeling “stuck” or stagnant The event that reminded Amanda that life is NOT guaranteed, yet we all play it like it is and how this caused her to stop playing it safe Why your business will never be perfect and why you can't wait until it is to start When you want to create something, create it for yourself and what you could use now or could have used in your past Why you should unlearn EVERYTHING you've learned if you want to reach your goals Why most people live life backwards and how to start creating intentionally by following the Be-Do-Have model Why you need to take action and experience the extremes to help you find that balance and how avoiding the extremes is just avoiding your life and your journey What Amanda and her husband's investment journey has been like in their business Links:  www.amandasilvas.com Instagram.com/IAm_AmandaSilvas Join the Path to Freedom Waitlist Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I'm your host Ali Daniel.    Today I'm bringing on Kimberly Kennedy, a mom of two, hairstylist by trade, and as of the last two years, business coach and strategist for hairstylists. I love this episode because Kimberly is such a great example of how there's a coach for just about EVERYONE!    If you want to help transform someone's life - usually the best place to start is in your own backyard, with the skills you already know and have acquired!   I've been following Kim's journey as a coach and online entrepreneur for the last two years - we actually started at just about the same time when we enrolled in a program together so it's cool to look back at how far we've both come since then when we felt like fish out of water at an event we attended together with a sea of experienced coaches and online entrepreneurs.     In this episode, Kim shares how she started her coaching business so she could spend more time at home with her kids and so her time wouldn't be so dictated by her hairstylist chair - which often means weekends.   She wanted to create a life where work fit INTO her life and not the other way around.   So she started small - with local meetups, teaching women what she knew about growing a hairstylist business. It was messy, it was completely unknown to her and she felt way out of her element. But she did it and has since been able to grow a successful online business out of it.    She shares how one of the biggest things that stopped her from getting started for some time was Imposter Syndrome and the fear of not being experienced enough. She shares how there are SO many other more experienced hairstylists out there that she felt like “who am I to be teaching anyone and stepping into this educator role?”   We dive deep into how she overcame those fears in this episode, so I know you guys are going to love it because I hear SO many of you guys sharing with me that you don't feel qualified or experienced enough to coach.    Hopefully this episode inspires you to just start messy because action will breed clarity and confidence!    Definitely give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Morgan is @KimberlyMarieStylist) and let us what you think of this interview.    Let's dive into it.   Aha Moments: As coaches, we often teach what we, ourselves, wish we knew back then Your prospective clients currently don't have anyone helping them - you might be their FIRST glimmer of hope How Kimberly is getting more strategic with her time as she builds her business and raises 2 kids How to get over your imposter syndrome and the fear “Who am I to do this?” Your secret competitive advantage as a NEW and inexperienced coach The one simple question to ASK friends, family, and people you've helped to find extreme clarity on what it is you actually do How to launch if you're constantly procrastinating or stuck in “perfectionism” Why we need to hear towards fears in order to be successful Links: https://www.nextlevelhairstylist.com/ Instagram.com/KimberlyMarieStylist Get on the Waitlist for Path to Freedom Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! I'm your host Ali Daniel. Before we dive into today's episode, I want to explain my absence for the last few weeks! I didn't plan to pause the podcast episodes however...the last 2 weeks have just been absolutely nuts for me!! I had 40 women sign up for clarity sessions with me after my 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz challenge and I was booked back to back all day every day for pretty much 2 weeks to meet with these women. I ended up enrolling 22 of them into my accelerator program and another 6 in my self-study course!    The past two weeks have been an insane adventure in my business and now that things are finally settling down back to normal, I have a chance to reconnect here with you guys!    I am SO excited to lead these 22 women on the journey of their lives - this really is the beginning of their new lives and I can't wait to show them how to launch successful coaching businesses that align with their souls and transform the world, one person at a time. It's a beautiful process and I feel so incredibly honored and grateful to have this be my mission right now.    Ok, so let's dive into today's episode! This episode I am joined by a very special guest, one of my own coaches (yes, I do have multiple coaches!), and her name is Morgan Day Cecil.    Morgan is a feminine wholeness coach who helps women experience divine sexy energy in relationships, business and life so they can really find more pleasure, abundance and success in all aspects.    I'm a testament to this first hand! I started working with Morgan back in December of last year, 2019 as part of my deeper mission to feel more present in my life, experience more joy and pleasure, and deepen my relationship. It wasn't a typical business investment like I'm used to, it was one for my own personal growth.    At the same time, I knew that feeling more at home in my body, more present in the moment and experiencing more love and joy in my life could only lead to more business success too. A few short weeks after working with Morgan I actually signed my first $10K client which was a fun milestone for me!   As you guys may now know, my income for this year is already more than it was for ALL of last year and it's only February! So that's insane. It just really goes to show that when you increase your attunement with your feminine energy, it's a blessing for all aspects of your life, not just your relationship, which I'm happy to report, is also thriving for me.     I wanted to bring Morgan on because I just truly am in AWE with how comfortable she is being her fullest self. It's so incredibly refreshing and inspiring to see and I have learned so much from her about how to slow down and feel more pleasure. I am in love with how she shows up as her full authentic self as all her many various sides of herself.   I think ultimately, that's why we're all here, right? We want to have fun, we want to enjoy life, we want to experience freedom and fulfillment and love. We want to feel free to be ourselves! At the end of the day, that's what we think money, or relationships, or our own business will bring us.    The truth is, those things come from within, and on this episode, Morgan talks about how to tap into that. How to tap into ALL parts of you, welcome all of it, BE all of who you are. She gives us a few feminine archetypes to use as examples which really grounds it for me.  She also shares her 3 pillars for success in anything which I think are so key, especially her third one about Peak Experiences. Makes me want to launch a retreat for you guys this year!    I know you guys are going to love this episode because if you're anything like me it's going to raise your vibration simply by listening. Call me crazy, but you'll FEEL it if you listen, I promise.   Definitely give us a shoutout on instagram I'm @PunchDrunkSoul and Morgan is @MorganDayCecil (C E C I L) and let us what you think of this interview. Let us know if it raised your vibe as much as it did mine!   Let's dive into it.   Aha Moments: How to experience freedom and wholeness from the inside out, not from external experiences or things What the different feminine archetypes are and how you can use them to become free and fulfilled  How to use your inherent feminine power to attract what you want in life and business What it looks like to do the deep inner work it takes to break free of sexual and spiritual trauma so you can accomplish your mission here Morgan's 3 pillars to heal your traumas and find fulfillment and success  How coaches can only give from overflow, never from an empty cup How to experience more joy and pleasure in your life with a 15 second hack   Links: MorganDayCecil.com Instagram.com/MorganDayCecil Get on the Waitlist: Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom

Today I'm bringing on Wynter Comfort, the No BS Self-Care Coach for Moms who just weeks after launching her coaching business started working with 3 clients.    Wynter's story is for you if you've been feeling like you just want MORE meaning and freedom in your life but you've been feeling stuck and losing momentum after trying several things that just aren't working.    I love Wynter's story because when she came to me she felt like her life “wasn't enough.” And she felt super guilty because she was a mom. But she knew she wanted more and had more to give but she just didn't know how to make progress.    In this episode we talk about the biggest shift that Wynter made to help her go from stuck in her business to landing 3 clients and feeling amazing working with them.    We also get into some mindset talk, including why writing DOWN your thoughts is one of the most powerful things you can do to take back control of them.    Wynter also shares her 2-part secret formula for having success and gaining momentum in your business. They're not to be taken lightly and I second these 2 pieces of advice myself!   If you're curious about the program Wynter recently graduated from, Path to Freedom, you can check it out at Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom.

Today I'm bringing on Carly Van Laningham who is a new coach, just 10 months into her business. I wanted to share her journey with you guys because I know how scary it can feel to get started, to launch your business and to find the confidence to actually coach people.   These are issues Carly has near and dear to her heart because she's been working through them in the last few months - religiously! Like daily.    So if you're finding yourself thinking “I'm too young, not qualified, not good enough to coach,” THIS episode is for you. We're going to dive into how Carly overcame her own mind in order to not only launch her coaching business, but run her own online challenge, go LIVE on Facebook like a boss, show up authentically on social media, and let go of the fears she had around being a coach.   This is a transformational podcast because I know many of you will relate to exactly what Carly has gone through.    Carly is a clarity and confidence coach who helps women gain the clarity about what they value most in life in order to show up more confidently in everything they do. She guides them in finding true, unshakeable confidence by healing self doubt and fear.   We explore what her first year as a coach has been like, how she's let go of stories of self-doubt, how she's embraced her true nature and is happier, healthier, more in love and excited about life and business than ever before.   And she said this journey to her new identity and life all started with my 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge - WHICH - if you don't know yet, starts on Monday!

Today I have a special guest on the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast who's energy I just love, and you're going to love it to. She's a new coach who just graduated from my Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator program - Lindsey Badillo.   Lindsey is a love & relationship coach who helps women develop more intimacy and connection in their long term relationships and marriages. She recently started working with her first 2 clients this year and is absolutely loving it.    If you're curious about the program Lindsey recently graduated from, Path to Freedom, you can check it out at Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom.   I'm so excited to share her journey with you all because just like many of you - she actually started her coaching journey by listening to this VERY podcast! She found me through Instagram, then checked out my podcast, became hooked and at one point late last year, she set the intention of being a guest coach on the podcast with me!   I had no idea that was on her vision board until I actually asked if I could interview her. We both share how crazy it is when life moves so fast! We don't even realize how it's always working in our favor until BOOM, one day you have everything you always wanted.   I love Lindsey's story because I relate to it so much. She always felt a deep desire to learn about and help people, which is why she first started out as a psychology major in college, a degree I also considered. Then she switched to teaching - again to HELP people. But when she graduated and started teaching she realized it wasn't fulfilling her in the way she wanted. It didn't align with her heart, her soul, and her purpose in the world.   In this episode we dive into how she finally came to understand what it means to be in alignment, how she practices BEING in alignment and feeling good, what it's been like to start coaching her new clients, and how to overcome your fears.   We also dive into how she learned coaching was meant for her, how she gained the confidence to become a coach, what it was like to make a significant investment in herself, and she also shares her 4 part recipe for success - and her last ingredient is to just have fun! This is also one of my key ingredients for success!   I know you are going to love this podcast, especially if you are curious about coaching but you just don't think you're qualified or could really make it a reality. Literally just 3 months ago, Lindsey was just like you. Had never really considered coaching as a true career path, and yet here she is today, confident, coaching 2 new clients and absolutely loving her new found fulfillment.    We both agree that it's through listening to other people's stories about becoming coaches that helped us take the leap. So I hope Lindsey's episode inspires you to follow your heart and trust that if we can do it, so can you!   If you enjoy this episode I'd love for you to let us know by sharing it on your Instagram stories and tagging us! I'm @Punchdrunksoul and Lindsey is @IntimatelyLindsey.   Again, if you're interested in checking out the program Lindsey did with me, Path to Freedom Coach Academy, you can go to punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom to get on the wait list!

Hi guys! We are back at it after a little Holiday Break! Welcome to the 2020 season of the Punch Drunk Soul podcast! I'm excited to bring you MORE amazing guest, more incredible, inspiring stories, and even more value to you guys this year in 2020.    My word for 2020 is joy. My goal this year is to feel more of it. To really experience more pleasure and joy and reap the benefits of everything I've accomplished in my business in the last 2 years. While many entrepreneurs mark their growth by increased revenue, this year I am going to mark my growth with how much joy I can feel WHILE growing my business at a sustainable rate and not burning out.    I'm excited to share my journey with you alongside the other amazing guests I'll be bringing on the podcast this year.    To kick us off, I brought on a good friend and client, Ami Martin. Ami took Path to Freedom in the spring of 2019 and it's been really fun to watch her continue her journey. Ami is a growth & relationship coach in both Seattle & Los Angeles who helps women go from anxious to confident AF in their dating lives.   I brought Ami on because she has a unique path in that once she realized what she wanted to do with her life - coach others - she gained the confidence to truly commit to it. She tells us in this episode she gave herself a commitment of 3 years which after year 1 turned into 10 years!    She has gone down the path of certification via Neuro Linguistic Programming so she's going to share some of the tricks and tools she's learned from that program as well as the lessons she's learned along the way in her journey.   Ami's story is one of hiding in fear for many years, taking the road of practicality and “safety” as many of us do in our 20's and often 30's and then she finally got the courage to start exploring. I love that she thinks of her journey as an experiment, not a destination. I know you're going to love her approach to life and building a business.   One of my FAVORITE parts of this episode is when Ami explains what coaching is to her and how coaches are like modern day “elders” who guide people along their journey's based on their own experience. You know how clans people used to sit around the fire and trade stories and learn about life, love, war, art, language and so many other things? Well, that's what group coaching calls are these days!    If you're a new coach who's feeling insecure about coaching or charging money for your services you're going to love this perspective Ami gives. It will open your eyes to the true value you're providing.   If you enjoy this episode I'd love for you to let us know by sharing it on your Instagram stories and tagging us! I'm @Punchdrunksoul and Ami is @AmiMartinLove (Ami with an I).   If you're interested in checking out the program Ami did with me, Path to Freedom Coach Academy, you can go to punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom to get on the wait list! We'll be opening up enrollment for it in February so jump in now before this class gets sold out like the last 2 times I opened it up for enrollment.    You can DM me on Instagram if you have any questions and want to chat about it.    OK let's get into this interview - you're going to love it!   Aha Moments: How pursuing an acting career led Ami to her passion of coaching How we cover our truths and our pain by numbing with food, relationships, social media, etc The terrifying reality of realizing the dreams you had for yourself may not actually be what you're meant to do with the rest of your life and how to handle that  When certification might be a good next step for you How to break down your experience and wisdom into steps for other people to coach them The shortcut and tools to embed new beliefs in your subconscious How to use “detachment” to help you achieve your desires How coaches are modern day “elders” serving the purpose of guiding others and group coaching calls are like sitting around the fire sharing experiences to learn more about yourself and life How to feel more comfortable charging as a coach   Links: AmiMartinLove.com Instagram.com/AmiMartinLove Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom   Mentioned on the Podcast: NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Wayne Dyer

In this episode of the Punch Drunk Soul podcast, I'm interviewing Julie Valbuena. I wanted to chat with Julie because she, like many other new coaches I know, had trouble getting into action at first and simply getting started. She tried to put all the pieces together herself for years, attending webinars, getting on email lists, downloading workbooks, reading books, but finally threw her hands up in the air and got on a clarity call with a coach that completely changed everything for her.    We don't call them Clarity Calls for no reason guys, they truly help get you clear on your goals, clear on what's stopping you from achieving them, and clear on a roadmap forward. If you're on a clarity call with a good coach, that coach will make sure you walk away crystal clear on how you want to move forward and what you're willing to do about your goals and problems, regardless of whether or not the two of you decide to work together.   On that note, I want to pause and offer a clarity session to a few lucky listeners today who are dreaming of starting or growing soul-aligned coaching businesses. To the women who book a call with me before the end of the year, I want to give away my 2-part meditation pack to help you overcome your fears and limiting beliefs and manifest the life, money and business of your dreams valued at $47. I'm also going to throw in my Millionaire Mindset hypnosis that I've created and been using on myself for the past few months to help me create $70,000 in the last 2 months alone. I haven't sold this hypnosis ever before, so it's a special treat to those of you who are brave enough to jump on a call with me and get your 2020 coaching business mapped out. I want to reward you for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something to help you move forward towards your goals of becoming an impactful, profitable coach in 2020.   This clarity session is for you if you're wanting to make 2020 the year you grow your coaching business. It's for you if you want help creating the income and impact you know you're capable of but you haven't been able to achieve just yet. You can book it at punchdrunksoul.com/claritycall.   But back to this episode! Julie went through a divorce a few years back, similar to Shana on our last episode, and it totally transformed her life. She became a new woman and the women in her life took notice and started to come to her seeking help. That's when she realized she wanted to coach. She overcame something extremely tough and came out better for it and she wanted the opportunity to work with women to do the same.   The lesson we hear time and time again in these interviews is that you have to start before you're ready and you just need to be a few steps ahead of the people you want to help.   After making several big investments, Julie got majorrrr skin in the game and started showing up differently. That's when she says she began to land consistent clients through her Facebook group and email marketing and she's only been in business about a year now.    What I love about this episode is Julie is a REALLY new coach. But she's been playing big to learn how to make her business work quickly. She really shares honestly about what it's been like to invest in high-ticket coaches multiple times to get her where she wanted to be in her first year in business.   She also shares what it was like to be in trial and error on her own for a while and how it caused her to lose confidence and almost quit like many other coaches do who lose confidence early on in their business.   We dive into where she finds clients and how she has the confidence to sell to her potential clients on this episode and so much more!    I think one of the things her and I really connect on is that you HAVE to be confident in what you're selling. If you're confident, sales becomes infinitely easier.   I know you guys are going to enjoy this episode, so let's dive in!   Be sure to give us a shoutout on Instagram @punchdrunksoul and @juliev2.0 and let us know what you think of this episode!  Aha Moments: Clarity Calls with Coaches truly bring clarity and help you move forward Intimacy beats authority any day - how this is your competitive advantage when you're new When you're pricing your offers, think about how much the result is worth. What is confidence worth? Love? Purpose? Results only come from investments you make - either in time, energy or money One of the biggest mistakes new coaches make when they're just getting started and how to avoid it Helpful questions to help you narrow down your niche How having a very clear and specific niche leads to inbound requests for your services Why being inexperienced as a coach and in business is actually your competitive advantage Why you're NOT responsible for your clients' results as a coach and how to deal with over-responsibility as a coach How to use Facebook groups to organically start conversations and book clarity calls Links + Mentioned In This Episode: Instagram.com/juliev2.0

Hi guys, Ali Daniel back with another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! Today I'm bringing Shana Stanley to the table to share her journey with us. Shana is a coach, hypnotherapist, mother, and former-wallflower-turned-outgoing-introvert. She helps women, right now she focuses mainly on divorced and newly single women and those who identify as women, to break free from their social anxiety and self-doubt so they can live the BOMBass life they crave.    Shana is also an alumni of Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator , which she graduated from this summer too!   I'm really excited to bring Shana on the show because she is such an incredible example of a woman who has really stepped out into the scariest shit known to man and has sort of rose from the ashes. She was doing all the things to survive a marriage and life that she was unhappy in by going to yoga, listening to podcasts, reading all the self-help books, meditating, but nothing was working. Finally, she stepped into the fire and did the deep work it took to get back into alignment, which she shares in this interview. This led her to coming out, getting a divorce and now starting her own coaching business.    We get into so many good topics today around coaching, what it takes to be a coach, how to deal with the self-doubt as we are trying to start our own coaching business, overcoming what other people think, money blocks, dealing with childhood wounds, you name it, we get into it.   Shana is actually launch a new coaching program in January 2020 to help women going through a divorce or breakup give up feeling “not good enough” and step into a new transformed and badass life post-separation. If you're curious to learn more you can follow up with Shana through the links in the episode description! Aha Moments: What to do when “all the things” like self-help books, yoga and podcasts aren't working 2 powerful things you can do to get into alignment and feel happy again We all have childhood wounds and traumas, even those of us with happy childhoods How to handle it when you think “Who am I to be a coach?” How visualizing money in this different way will help you release your money blocks How to overcome your fears by understanding their validity Why you need to own all parts of yourself before you can be truly happy Self-care is PART of your job as a coach When you really want something, first you have to decide how MUCH and what you're willing to do to get it before you can have it SO much more!

Hi friends, welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast! Today I am welcoming my friend and mentor, Alyssa Nobriga to the show. What a special treat we're all in for! Seriously, it's an honor to have Alyssa on the podcast and I am so appreciative of how she shares her story so openly with us for everyone to learn from it.    Before we dive in, I wanted to share a special treat I have for you guys! I am opening up my calendar for a few lucky souls (10 to be exact) to book a complimentary 1:1 45 minute Launch Strategy Session with me to help you create an aligned launch strategy to fill your client calendar for ALL of 2020. Walk away knowing exactly what to implement and how to effectively communicate your high-ticket value to your online audience. I'll be sharing my online marketing and launch expertise after building my business to over $215,000 in the last 2 years all online.   You can go to Punchdrunksoul.com/launchstrategy if you'd like to book a spot with me! If you have questions you can DM me on Instagram @PunchDrunkSoul. That's punchdrunksoul.com/launchstrategy to book that complimentary strategy session with me. If there are no more spots available, it means they've all been taken - but check back as I may open up a few more in December!   Ok, on to today's episode with Alyssa! On this episode you're going to hear Alyssa talk about her childhood and how her entire family was catapulted into spiritual awakenings around the same time and how this led her down a path of really exploring the mind, body, soul connection and wanting to heal the world. We talk about how when we step towards what we want it brings up our unconscious blocks to be healed. Ever wonder why once you say “Yes” to yourself, a lot of shit seems to hit the fan and your emotions run haywire? This is it!   She shares a period of time where she was out of alignment in her business and how she was able to get back into alignment by uncovering her deepest values and then expressing these values every day - which is actually something we do inside my program, Path to Freedom Coach Academy, so if you guys are in the program, you know what I'm talking about as you guys are working through Module 2 where we uncover your core purpose values!   We also really dive deep into the mindset work and how important it is to really question everything you believe about yourself, about business, about what you need, about what is available or possible. We question the idea of hustling or working hard and what it means to step into your leadership in business but also in life.    I love that Alyssa and I have very different beginnings of our business. She started all offline and I started all online but our worlds have blended beautifully together and I've learned so much from her. For me, when I started my business, I was still very sick so I didn't want to be in front of people physically - the online space gave me the opportunity to show up and serve, even if I couldn't do it in person.    But as you guys know, it does take a lot of time and investment (I've invested 10's of thousands now in online coaches and FB ads to get my business running successfully!) to understand the online space which is why I so appreciate Alyssa's perspective to share how you can actually grow your business to 6-figures all offline if you want to.    This episode is a blend of mindset and strategy so if you've been needing a mindset reboot to help you show up and produce different results, this episode is going to unlock the key for you!   And really, we've just barely skimmed the surface of Alyssa's work so hopefully we can get her back in the future to share more with us. If you want that to happen, be sure to let her know how much you enjoy this episode by sharing this episode on Instagram and tagging us @PunchDrunkSoul and @AlyssaNobriga  Aha Moments: How success is found in the present moment, not the future Why it's important to embrace all parts of you, even the parts that don't seem to “match” When we step into what we want, the unconscious blocks rise up to be healed How to move into alignment by understanding your values Why working hard and hustling needs to be questions and HOW to stop buying into it If you want to find clients you need to show up as a professional coach and set aside time to show up consistently and being of service Her tips for growing your business to 6-figures all offline Links + Mentioned In This Episode: AlyssaNobriga.com Instagram.com/AlyssaNobriga Book your complimentary online launch strategy session with me at Punchdrunksoul.com/launchstrategy

This is for you. This is for you if You've Been Thinking About Starting A Coaching Biz But…   You don't feel qualified or ready and everyone has been telling you "you need to get certified first!” You've always known that you were destined for more than just sitting in an office working for someone else, but you've spent far too long wondering how you would actually do it and still haven't taken any action yet. You keep posting on your social media pages and blog about your passions with no engagement and you're losing steam and motivation. Your job drains your energy, your soul, your freedom and you have no time or energy for yourself at the end of the day to do the things you really care about, like travel, raise a family, work on your business idea or blog, hang out with friends, go to the gym, or just cook a nice dinner. You're afraid of failing, afraid of what other people will think, and/ or afraid to put yourself out there You've tried starting once or a few times, you may have even picked up some certifications but then you've given up or lost motivation because it all just feels SO overwhelming and #IJustCantEven. All you need is a blueprint and your success will skyrocket! You feel like you're missing clarity on your purpose and a clear path to move forward. You're tired of coming home exhausted, feeling empty, and binge-watching Netflix instead of pursuing your passions.

Feeling truly healed from the inside out. Anxiety attacks, depressive episodes, health issues caused by you not following your purpose are all but forgotten. No more feeling "stuck" or lost, but full of purpose and confidence. Having the time and energy to put into enjoying your whole life, not just life outside the 9-5 and on the weekends. Where you travel more, laugh more, spend time with your family and friends more, say YES to you more. Having a slow morning with yoga, meditation and a warm latte. Setting your own schedule, working from home while you watch your kids grow up, or maybe even from a beach in Thailand. What else would change about your life, your relationships, your career if you had a business that just WORKED and lit you up?   We're going to work on it all together in Path to Freedom so YOU can have the life you deserve.

This is a longer episode because I'm including multiple interviews. The first is with Amanda McCoy, then Hannah Mento and then Kathryn Thompson.  You're going to love them all and I know you'll hear yourself in them as well as you hear how they were ALL struggling for about a year or more to get their coaching business off the ground until they finally made the decision to invest in themselves and all three of them left Path to Freedom with multiple paid clients shortly after we wrapped the program.  What would it be like to walk away with a new coaching biz you loved and paying clients in a matter of a week? What would be possible for you from that point on? Think about how that would change your life and listen in to this episode and if you feel called to it, find out more at punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedm.   Links Apply or Enroll at: PUNCHDRUNKSOUL.COM/PATHTOFREEDOM Find Amanda on Instagram @lifebyamandajoy Find Hannah on Instagram @mentomindset Find Kathryn on Instagram @creativelyowned

In this episode, Kim shares a conversation she had with Ali Daniel, a soul aligned business coach. Ali was brought to Kim's attention when someone reached out and said Ali would be a great guest for the podcast. After Kim did a little digging online, she agreed and the two women schedule a time to chat. Ali's online business, Punch Drunk Soul, was created to help other women tap into the own "zone of brilliance" and using that to build a business that sets their soul on fire. What is the "zone of brilliance" you might ask? Well, in this episode, Ali shares how she tapped into hers while struggling with a major illness. She also gives us a few tips on how to get into our own zone! Kim & Ali also discuss the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. Owning your own business can be a roller coaster at times but it's totally worth the ride if you can learn to embrace all the up & downs and take the lesson from each. There is always something to learn! Ali also opens up about what spirituality means to her and why it's an important part of her personal & professional life. Spoiler Alert: A little meditation never hurt anybody!  Connect with Ali: www.punchdrunksoul.com Hey!

Today you guys are gonna hear from Traci Ann Ferguson, a woman I have just really grown to love in the last 4 months, though it seems like we've known each other for far longer! She is a relationship and self-love coach who helps women accept themselves fully so that they can form deeper, healthier and more meaningful relationships. She is a mom of two, a musician and aspiring beach bum. Honestly you guys, this episode is like a relationship coaching session and business journey interview all wrapped into one.   Traci actually joined my 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge and then joined my Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator program and THEN decided to invest in my high-level mastermind. She is truly an amazing example of someone who is so dedicated to showing up fully for herself and I think you're really going to love her inspiring story about getting started as a coach, landing 3 clients about a month after launching her biz without being certified.    She knows what it's like to deal with and work through the fears and imposter syndrome that pop up when you're trying to start your own business, but I love how she shares how she was able to gain the confidence and clarity to come up with her own program. What's more amazing is the wonderful results and transformations she's already seen in her clients.   We really dive into how she was able to take her own life experience and turn it into a repeatable system for her clients to go through to have their own transformations. We also talk about how we each have our own unique voice but we don't have to reinvent the wheel. That so much of what's taught and what we will teach and impart on our clients is Universal Truth, just with our own special experience tied into it. We also get into how this idea helped her overcome the comparison trap she was always getting herself into.    In this episode we also talk about the time and money she's invested in herself and in her business and how she's been able to make it work with 2 kids, a big move and even deaths in the family.    Before we dive into the episode I also want to let you know that my free 4 Day Soul Aligned Biz Challenge is coming up again in just a few short weeks! You do NOT want to miss it. If you want to feel more connected to yourself, your purpose and find out what special gifts you have to offer the world in the form of a coaching business, you want to be there. If you're a new coach and you want support, especially in dialing in on your niche and unique talents, or if you're an aspiring coach and you have a fear of getting started...THIS free 4 day challenge is going to be the best 4 days you'll spend on yourself ever.    I only run this challenge a few times a year, this is going to be the last time I run it this year! So if you want to close out 2019 with a kickstart on your dreams, now is your last chance.   I'm giving away over 6 hours of FREE, live, in-depth training on how to start a coaching biz with maximum success and no previous experience or certification (some women have launched their business JUST using this free training alone)   I'll be teaching you the strategy I used to kick start my coaching business when I had no experience that's led me to generate over $150,000 in sales in my first 18 months.    You'll get FREE PDF action-guides and downloads and resources to help you launch your business fast   You'll also have access to my private, exclusive Facebook Group where you can connect with the community and talk to my team and other coaches.   I've had people ask if they can pay me for the Challenge recordings because I give so much content and strategy away for FREE   And the best part, guys, is it's absolutely free! No credit card is required to join.   So I hope you join us for this transformational experience, just as Traci did a few short months ago. You're going to hear in this episode just how far Traci has come since then and how the challenge was really the moment everything changed for her and catapulted her onto this coaching journey.   Join us for 4 in-depth days, we start really soon!   You can RSVP at punchdrunksoul.com/soulbiz   This is probably going to be the last time I run this challenge for free. It's really an entire course packed into 4 days and thousands of women have gone through it and have shared just how transformational it's been for them. Regardless if you walk away like Traci ready to take the next steps in working with me, or you go off and work on your own or with another coach, this experience will be one you never forget. The community, the self-confidence and steps we go through together will be unlike anything you've ever experienced online.    I really hope Traci's story reminds you of what's possible to go from no idea what you're doing to paying clients in a matter of weeks. This doesn't have to take forever, and it's certainly possible for you. So let's jump in to the interview. Aha moments: How to use your own life experience as a way to coach others How she was able to reconcile with her ex-soon-to-be-current husband after their divorce We're all teaching the same Universal truths just wrapped in our own experiences The milestones she achieved before she could go from no business to 3 clients and how you can implement them for yourself How investing in herself has helped her stay accountable to her dreams and shown her the TRUE value of things How to stop comparing yourself to others When you invest in yourself in a big way, it's so much easier to charge higher ticket prices for your own services because you know the value How to get over the “sales is sleazy” mindset How to find time for a business when you're raising 2 kids   Links: Join the Soul Aligned Biz Challenge for New and Aspiring Coaches here!

Through this company she helps Homeschooling families gain financial freedom and create more impact by growing an online business lights her up.   I love this episode because Serena and I talk about everything from mom guilt, homeschooling, time management, giving yourself permission when you seek it from others, learning how to nurture and love yourself, starting your own business, shutting down a product, and restarting your business, and most importantly, what it takes to find alignment, get clarity on your purpose and discover what your business is meant to be and who it's meant to serve.   You'll hear Serena's time management tips that she uses to help her business from home while she homeschools 2 young boys. You'll hear how she started a business but let everyone else dictate what it should be until it was so mis-aligned that she shut it down. You'll also hear what it's been like for her to invest in herself and how we both agree the best part about having your own business is falling in love with the person you become in the process.   Ahh, so many good feels from this episode!  Don't forget, Serena was able to turn her experience and expertise into her own coaching business without being certified...if you want to learn how to do the same thing, for a limited time I'm actually offering a free PDF guidebook that gives an overview and outline of the exact process, my PCM framework, that I teach inside my Path to Freedom Program that Serena took last year.    The bonus worksheet for the PCM framework that you can download now for free WILL be sold separately soon, so if you're thinking about starting a coaching business, or you already have but you aren't getting anywhere with it, this is the perfect next step for you.    ❌No more confusion about what value you have to offer.   ❌No more pulling your hair out trying (but failing) to share your gifts and experience with the world in a way that makes sense   ❌No more stressing over the fact that you're not qualified "enough"   ❌No more "I'm a coach!" but you're actually only doing "pro-bono" work    With this ONE simple & quick action guide you'll be able to understand how your own life experience and knowledge can be turned into a powerful system for getting clients results and be sold as a high-ticket, high-value program.    You can download it for free right now, get it before the bonus goes away -  http://punchdrunksoul.com/coach101   Ok, without any further intro, here's Serena's interview!   Aha moments: How to get clarity and direction through conversation Finding your purpose and passion takes inner exploration, time to yourself and blocking out the noise from other people and influences What the first 2 years of business looks like (including starting, shutting down, and starting over) How to manage your time when you have kids and are trying to start and run a business from a busy home-schooling mom Handling guilt when asking for help and investing in yourself, especially as a mom When you seek permission from others you really just need it from yourself The best part of business is the person you become   Links: Join the Path to Freedom Waitlist to be the first to hear when I re-launch so you can reserve your spot before it sells out again - Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom Check out Serena's Website: Serenaandandy.com Find Serena on Instagram: @serena.ryan

Today I have a really special guest and this just happens to be one of my favorite episodes that I've recorded by far, we just get so deep into what it really takes to grow a business and the truth behind the investments, the breakdowns and the breakthroughs. It's just a real honest, heartfelt conversation between friends and colleagues.    Katie Momo is the guest on this episode and Katie is actually the launch strategist and copy expert who I hired to work with on my last launch and she turned out to be not only amazing at what she does but also just a wonderful person as well and I've really come to value her and our relationship, as well as just who she is for her clients and her audience.    So Katie is a sales strategist who is responsible for her clients selling over 12 million dollars in online product (and counting!). She uses a trifecta of sales copy, launch strategy, and Facebook ads for serious persuasive punch. You know I love those boxing metaphors!   In this conversation, Katie and I cover everything from how she originally got into entrepreneurship and how it was a family affair from the start to how she left business school when she realized learning about business in school was nothing like business in the real world. We discuss about how she even questioned her career choice of being an entrepreneur after business school left her so confused. That's when Katie's whole crazy journey unfolded for her, as she kept saying yes to the things that she was curious about exploring, including studying jewelry design and starting to work in the jewelry business.   And when the market crashed in 2008, the jewelry business crashed hard along with it. But Katie shares a fascinating story about the impact a simple mindset practice had on the profitability of this one tiny jewelry shop, in this one tiny town, on this tiny little Island on the West Coast of British Columbia where she worked.   We dive deep into how Katie was finally able to find her niche and a business that truly aligns with who she is by continuing to say yes to the things that intrigued her. We also talk about how crazy running your own business is and how heavy your failures can feel and how to overcome them.    We also discuss how Katie grew from her biggest breakdown and biggest disappointment and how much money Katie invests and spends per month on her business. We talk very openly about money on this episode which is something I'm really proud of and excited to share and I think you guys will really love it, especially if you've ever felt guilty, embarrassed, ashamed or just foolish for spending money on your growth and or on your business.    It's by far one of my favorite episodes, so I'm curious to hear what you guys think. So be sure to tag us on Instagram I'm @punchdrunksoul and Katie is @hellokatiemomo and let us know! Aha Moments:   Why business school didn't teach her anything about real business What her job at a jewelry store taught her about the power of mindset and visualization Her burnout moment in business and what she learned after having to take 6 months off The idea that breakdowns precede breakthroughs can be dangerous unless you know how to handle the breakdowns What failures look and feel like in business and how to move through them How to find your niche and soul-aligned business (and how Katie found hers) How passion develops over time, it's not something that you just have The joy is in the doing, not in the destination Real money talks: how much Katie spends per month on her business investments and the truth behind many 6-figure + businesses that no one talks about   Links & Mentioned In This Episode: Katiemomo.com/sweet Instagram.com/hellokatiemomo Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom Chris Gillibeau - Happiness of Pursuit

Hey from Thailand everyone! On today's episode I catch up with a Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator graduate, Kathryn Thompson. Kathryn and I chat about everything from how she got sick in her corporate job (sound familiar?!) to how she finally was able to step out into entrepreneurship, to how she was able to really own her worth and confidence as a coach, to how she was able to find alignment in her life and is feeling better than ever.    It's a really juicy episode that I know you're going to relate to so much, especially if you've ever struggled in the corporate world, kind of going from job to job thinking that the next one will bring you the fulfillment you're looking for. Or thinking that you'll go back to school for another degree because that will bring you the fulfillment you're looking for.    Kathryn was waking up from anxiety dreams, with her heart racing, something she never experienced before in her life. She experienced just this total apathy and boredom in her life where she wasn't motivated to do ANYTHING except veg on the couch. She finally took the leap into entrepreneurship but it wasn't what she thought it would be until she finally aligned with her soul and created what she was truly meant to do.    For those of you out there still struggling to get clarity on what you're meant to do or those who are finally DOING it but really feeling so exhausted, heavy and overwhelmed, this episode will hit home for you.   If you listen and enjoy it please give me a shoutout on Instagram and let me know over at Punchdrunksoul!    Aha moments:   What it looks like to be out of alignment versus in alignment The biggest shift Kathryn made to go from being overwhelmed, stressed out and sick, to calm, confident and aligned in her life and business How to find your true worth and value as a new coach (hint: it's not in what you BRING to the table) What happens when you seek fulfillment and happiness from external experiences and things This is how NOT to start a business! The importance of pressing the pause button every day Joy is found in this, NOT money Why hiring a coach/mentor is invaluable and does NOT mean there's anything wrong with you The real return on investing in yourself   Links: Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom Kathryn's IG: @creativelyowned

JASMINE SHEA: HOW TO TURN YOUR PASSIONS INTO CASH AND FEARS INTO OPPORTUNITIES. FROM CLIMBING THE CORPORATE LADDER TO A HEALTHY FOOD EMPIRE. Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Punch Drunk Soul podcast, I'm your host Ali Daniel. Today I'm bringing you the founder of Your Dinner Is Planned, and host of the  Dinner Table Talk Podcast, Jasmine Shea. But before we dive into this interview I want to announce that my program, Path to Freedom Coach Academy is currently open for enrollment starting today! It's only open until Monday, June 3rd at midnight so if you've been dreaming of starting your own coaching biz and actually landing your first paid clients, listen up because this program is for you! So Jasmine is a former 9-5 dropout who, very much like me, dreamed of climbing the corporate ladder. In fact, just like me, she was convinced that it was her destiny. However, Jasmine's trajectory was quickly altered when she discovered her passion for healthy eating and started sharing her recipes on Instagram. She quickly learned her greater passion was something she could also make a living out of. She left the 9-5 world 2 years ago and has since built a thriving business with a huge vision and a growing team. In this episode Jasmine shares how since the start of her business she's always lead with offering what she's enjoyed and how that's been the best way for her to make money in her business. She shares how you must have a vision when you're getting started but how it may not be what you expect it to look like. She shares why it's important to have concrete and clear goals. And one of my favorite bits of the conversation is talking about fears and how in truth, fears are really just opportunities. Listen in to find out how she reframes her fears to actually drive her instead of hide. Aha Moments What to do when your dream of climbing the corporate ladder is no longer your dream... What happens when you lean into what you enjoy What if someone told you there is MORE that's possible for you? Why your vision is so important to achieve your dreams and what to do if you don't HAVE that vision yet Why you don't want everyone to love you and your business and how to handle criticism How Jasmine structures her goals to have the success she's had How Jasmine manages the fear of what comes next or not knowing the future The number one tip to keep your vibrations up when you're feeling like sh**!

SARAH BONNEVILLE: FROM SHY INTROVERT TO SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR. HOW TO REWRITE YOUR BELIEFS AND STEP INTO YOUR MOST POWERFUL SELF. Today I've got a really special guest for you, Sarah Bonneville. She's become a good friend and she's also my virtual assistant. But first...she was my client. That's right, back when Path to Freedom Coach Academy first got started, it wasn't just for coaches, it was for ALL online entrepreneurs. Just a good look into the progression of business - it changes as YOU change, you aren't married to your first idea! As you develop you start to niche down more and more until you land on the idea that just feels so RIGHT to you. There's a bit of that here in Sarah's story as well as she talks about how when she first started her business it was around her first passion, working with autistic kids, and how she realized that wasn't something she wanted to turn into a business. So anyway, Sarah and I had such a great conversation that I think you're going to love. We dive into what her life was like before starting a business - much like me she was getting sick in her day job and much like many of you I'm thinking as well - always sick, stressed, exhausted. We're talking ulcers, depression, anxiety, mouth sores, eating disorders, I mean really painful, life-altering stuff. Sarah would come home at the end of the day just wiped and making a quick dinner, binging  Netflix, going to sleep and doing it all over again. Something I can totally relate to, sounds so much like my life as well before I started my business. It was like life on autopilot. Growing up, Sarah never even dreamed of being an entrepreneur. Her mom was a teen mom, they didn't have a lot and it really created so many limiting beliefs and stories around money for Sarah. So much so that she really never invested in herself at all until she made the decision to start her business. And even then it was scary as shit for her, as we can all relate. Sarah never thought she was really cut out to be an entrepreneur, she was shy, introverted, didn't come from an entrepreneurial family or a lot of money. But funny enough she found a voice online. She found she could be more herself on the internet. And she slowly started to take baby steps towards a life that was her own, a life she created and designed. Now Sarah's making almost double what she was making in her last job, she's free to pursue her favorite things like playing in a band and on a field hockey team, traveling around the world and working with clients from anywhere she pleases. It hasn't been an easy journey, Sarah will be the first one to admit that, but she's also proof that when you want something, all you have to do is rewrite your story to get it. I LOVED this interview and I know you will too. Aha Moments: You do not have to be an extrovert to be a successful entrepreneur When reinforcement and validation come from others it's short-lived, finding it within your self is what matters We can control our thoughts, which control our moods and results, don't let them rule you When you get behind yourself and invest in yourself your whole life will change. You rewrite your story in that moment. How to let go of expectations to have more fun in your life and work How to use your fear to drive you forward, to take chances, and get to the next level. It's important to get uncomfortable and take risks! Investing in yourself is always worth it, the ROI will always be there Links Punchdrunksoul.com/soulbiz- come up with your soul aligned coaching idea in 4 days!

Charity is a self-care coach from St. George Utah. Over the years she started and stopped many programs in college, never quite figuring out what exactly she wanted to do with her career and life, but she just knew she wanted to help people. When she decided to be a self-care coach everything in her life aligned. She found her life purpose. I love this interview because it really shows that you can literally go from having NO idea what your purpose is or what your career could be to having paying clients (more than 10) in just a few months! We dive deep into how Charity was able to overcome her fears of investing in herself, of putting herself out there and sharing her new business, to how she was able to get 6 new clients in ONE week. Aha Moments: You just have to be a few steps ahead of the people you want to coach How quitting her job and traveling the world helped her find her purpose The best sales method to land your first couple paying clients How NOT to be “sleazy” during sales conversations The biggest hurdle to overcome is your own limiting beliefs Remember that it takes time (SO MUCH) to grow your business and this is OKAY  Why investing in yourself is the best decision you can make and how you can find the courage to do it Be brave and be vulnerable… that's the key to happiness Links Punchdrunksoul.com/soulbiz – come up with your soul aligned coaching idea in 4 days!

And you are going to enjoy the nuggets that we have to share this one as well. So here we go with Ali Daniel.All right. So on today's episode we have Ali Daniel welcome to Her Legacy Podcast. I'm so excited to have you on the show just because as a fellow coach I'm sure we're going to have a lot of different the different ideas and information for people who are listening who are thinking about many things specifically. This whole idea of being okay with wanting to leave your job because I saw your whole bio mindless stuff that was really intriguing. So before I get ahead of myself welcome to Her Legacy Podcast.Ali: Thanks Patty I'm really excited to be here. Yeah.Patty: Thank you.And so I want to know I want to get braggy what you believe is your superpower, Ali.Ali: Oh that's a good question. So it's something I've actually been doing a lot more digging into myself personally because it's something that I teach my clients is kind of finding their their superpower. And there's a brilliant. So I've been digging even deeper into that recently myself.So essentially my superpower is helping other people kind of get more clarity on their superpower. So from kind of taking all the knowledge and experience and passions that are in their head and getting that into a business like putting that in like monetizing their knowledge and monetizing their passions getting getting what's in their head out on paper and kind of in a clear business that will get to power.Patty: I love how you call that on your site. You said their zone of brilliance because a lot of times people are like really I can monetize that. It's like we're so in our own thing that we don't recognize the sheer talent or that uniqueness about it about what you find out to be the case.Ali: 100 percent. I don't think there's a single client I've worked with before who has and at one point felt like. I don't really think this is valuable or don't other people know this already. You know like we all do that we second guess our own knowledge and experience just because it seems so common to us that we don't realize the other people don't have that same information and we don't realize the things that we've gone through the experiences we've had are unique to us. And there are other people out there who haven't had those experiences and haven't had that learning process yet. And yeah we just assume that everything in our heads is already known by everyone else when in reality it's so far from the truth.Patty: So good. So when did you give yourself permission to step into your own superpower because reading through your bio is kind of scoping out a little bit striking you think you came from the advertising world. So that transition was probably so huge that you went through this whole thing like really is this what I'm gonna do. I'd love to hear that.Ali: Yeah I think a lot of a lot of my story has to do with actually getting really sick. I got like this weird auto immune illness that I won't go into. Like all the crazy spiritual world belief that I have behind it. But I truly believe that when you're not like following your purpose and you're not finding meaning in your life that it creates like this disease within you that literally disease and that manifested physically for me for a couple of years I was feeling really stuck and lost and felt like I should be doing more like I just I wanted more fulfillment more meaning out of my work.But I just kept ignoring and pushing aside thinking like no this is the path that everyone takes you go to college you get a job you can corporate ladder that's just like just the way it is I just forced myself into that narrow pathway and the universe you know source God energy whatever you want to call it was kind of trying to nudge me onto my true path my rightful path which was being an entrepreneur and helping other women find that freedom in their life because that's what I feel I was missing was that freedom.So I think getting sick was a huge part of that realization journey for me that this wasn't what my life was meant to be like I am meant to be doing more and just creating more having more impact in the world. And so getting like really made me rethink about my life and the direction I was going in and what I really wanted to do with it because I realized then that life was really short and being sick took away like I don't want to say it took away two years of my life. But I mean it kind of in a way it did. Obviously it was a blessing in disguise for me now but yeah I realized like how short life is and and if you're not following your rightful path like it can be pretty painful.Patty: Oh my God. Totally. And here's the deal that I know. I think it was Oprah. I remember very vividly in one episode she said it's like the Universe speaking to you and to your point where you want to say God the universe whatever it is you believe that it initially started with the nudge that it's a bigger nudge and then it needs like a two by four across the field this is serious as you know it's time to like Buck up and realize what's going on.And I totally agree with you. I mean I went through and we talked talk about worst stories in terms of corporate but it's exactly that. It's just like we are so preconditioned and so like about what society tells us we should be doing and I love that you're standing for what it is that you believe in and in essence you really become that beacon of hope for others that are looking for the same thing. So scoping it. Wow.I saw a little bit about your program and you had this really great video with these women who were on there like the 20 something women maybe 30 and it just so amazing where they coming to that realization earlier in their lives like do you find that that's. I literally just saw an article on LinkedIn about this very fact. Like the millennials are like I said this last year plan is not happening. How do you feel about that? Do you see there's a shift happening?Ali: Oh my gosh definitely. I see a huge shift happening and it's something that I talk about with like my friends who really just don't get it. But I do think that it's hard because a lot of them like they don't understand online business schools are not in this world and so I'm sure there is some biased perspective with me being in it but definitely do see I mean all stats that you look at about a workplace about people's happiness and fulfillment at work. Like they're just horrible. Well 80 percent of people are unsatisfied with their jobs. And my one of my clients actually is working as a career coach and helping women get promotions. And she was pulling her audience and she found that even the women she is working with people who are trying to climb the corporate ladder their five year plan is to have their own business.Patty: Oh my gosh!Ali: Yeah like yeah it's just it's a huge ship that's happening to everyone wants everyone wants to make their own life. Everyone wants to make their own work. Why is that? Why do people find that so hard to fathom. But you know like I don't think life was meant to be lived behind a cubicle. I don't think life was meant to be spent 70 percent in an office doing work for other people.I mean granted we always need you know people working for us and we need like employee kind of structure. But I still don't think it has to be this way that we've had it up to this point. And I think people are kind of riding like we're going or who are shifting towards something else like we don't want this. We don't want to see. People are getting sick left and right and having so many illnesses and frustrations and anxiety depression and I think so much of it just boils down to people being unhappy at work.Patty: Oh my God. Totally so chatting me about the genesis of your program and how you saw that this was literally the environment of what's going on right. People being unfulfilled because on your website you talk about you help them find purpose create lasting happiness building confidence.So all of these work hand in hand the confidence to leave right the confidence to say I'm gonna leave my job. And in spite of everybody looking around me again. Absolutely not many do it.And finding purpose like what is it that what am I gonna doing so there's so much in there. It's a tall order. How did you come to that crossroads you were like I'm going to put it together this program.Ali: Yeah that's it kind of happened after I actually went to like this one business Master Mind event from James actually dvd live of last year I think October 2017. And basically he had like this panel of know new entrepreneurs. Nobody like no no Amy Porterfield no like Louis Hay as you goes you know every day ordinary people sharing their stories about how they got started and it just made me realize that I was hiding for so long. Playing small and thinking that I didn't have the value I didn't have enough knowledge that I had to become an expert. And I had to learn more and just be more in order to actually then go out and sell something to anybody like I didn't think I was ready for that yet. I thought I had to learn more.Like I said I just keep consuming knowledge. So at that event I really realized that the people who are successful are just the ones who actually go out and try something. And you really have to start before you're ready was kind of what I what I learned from that like success happens when you just start before you feel ready.So yeah that was a huge takeover for me and just getting out there and trying things like that's really what I try to convey to my clients is that nobody knows what they're doing. Nobody out here likes you even you and I who have experience in business. When we do another one check we don't know how it's going to work. We don't know what the results are going to be. So we're all out there. I don't wanna say running around with our heads cut off like chickens or head cuff as we're not you know a lot of us aren't going crazy like that anymore but we don't really know what we're doing either.And I think that knowledge of seeing other people who had success in business also not knowing what they were doing and just starting anyway and just trying and seeing what happened was a huge like realization for me and literally two weeks later is when I monetized the knowledge that I was in my head and put it into a program and I launched it for the first time and I got four women in it and just kind of ran with it from there and tweaked and improved it and just kept relaunching it.Patty: I love it. And so tell us about the world like so what do people find in the program?Ali: So I have kind of like us five step framework that I've laid out that originally I developed from my own experience and then started with working with a few one on one client and then really refined it through this group gram .But essentially the first step is really aligning and connecting with your true selves and finding that purpose and that meaning in your life that you're looking for and the direction that you're really supposed to be going in. So we do a lot of like core purpose value work and really try and figure out what drives you and then actually some practical like steps to actually get into alignment and really connect with your soul. Then we help then the next step is really like building out your vision and your ideal life vision with you what you want that to look like what it feels like.And that's really like what motivates you and that's what keeps people going not only through the programs but then through afterwards and then the next step is really like defining those on a brilliance and picking that neish that really specific neish that they're going to go out in their business with. But just based on their own knowledge and experience that they already have within them.Like I said like we said earlier most people don't realize what that is yet. So it just takes a little polling and asking the right questions to really draw that out. And then the next step is outlining their first offer essentially taking that zone of brilliance and packaging it up into like a step by step system for them to go out and use with their clients. And then the first step is just launching and a lot of that has to do with confidence so there are a lot of there's some lessons and confidence in facing your fears and what was that really what confidence really is.And then I have like a five part kind of sales process that they go through Rose bowl and it says like no funnels no crazy marketing tactics and strategies. It's just this one really simple launch method you don't to think about e-mails or Lanni Saito's or Upton's or any of that. So just to get them started just to get like their first one or two clients. That's really what they leave with.Patty: So that's awesome. So can you give me an example of a client of yours that may have been in a space where they're like oh my gosh they're really scared because this typically is, I mean I know personally with my clients it's almost like you have to give them permission that it's like they don't see it for themselves. And they're looking for somebody to give them the nod. And once they have that nod and then I would love to hear a success story because I know you have them.Ali: Yeah definitely. I've got two that I can think of right now. I mean. Yeah. So the first line is I like my client Jessie she came about the freedom of really thinking that what she wanted to do was kind of be a social media consultant or really work on their social media and in the middle of the program when we're starting to define there is a brilliant and there neish she was like I just don't know you know what to pick here. She was trying to decide between the social media thing and then also like auto immune health coaching and she was struggling with auto immune disease for Hashimoto's for like eight years.And I could tell based on the things that she'd been talking about that she really wanted to do the auto immune coaching but she was afraid she didn't think she had the knowledge. The the I don't want to say certification like the degree you know the pedigree she wasn't you know a doctor or a nurse or anything like that. So she was definitely really afraid to step into that role.But I asked her the question like which one excites you the most. And then which one scares you the most. And both of them were the auto immune coaching and that's one way to really if you want to get real with yourself like ask yourself which which of your choices scares you the most and often that's the one that you're really supposed to go with .Ali: So yeah. So from from the program she came in thinking you know she want to do social media and then she left with it. I was wanting to be an auto immune coach so now she's focusing on Hashimoto's specifically and she's started a podcast. So yes. Yeah. That was a really exciting time.Patty: That is amazing. I have. I mean first of all I've never heard of an auto immune coach. That's really cool. And the fact that now she's even broadcasting it via podcast which is such a great way to just connect with people on these topics and I just think like when you look at that. I mean how neish is that if you think about it just a little bit like really.But yeah it's kind of like I mean people talk about their auto immune diseases but the fact that she could package it in a way where she's creating a solution for that problem. I mean that's what entrepreneurship is. You know we find solutions to problems that are really really great way to look at that. That's amazing.There our legacy leader. Thank you so much for checking out today's show we're about halfway done but I wanted to give you the opportunity to engage further as this episode incites some creativity and you know if you're interested in leaving your own done to the world leaving your legacy. I have a very special three part video series for you. That's what I call the business Trinity and as solopreneurs.We are looking to create a sustainable business. And what I have found is three distinct pillars to make it happen so I'm sharing that with you. Absolutely complementary. Head on over to businesstrinity.com. Again business trinity.com. Grab that three part video series for yourself and include some downloadable in there and we'll walk away with clarity on where the opportunities are so that you can leave your legacy. Let's continue with the show.I love that. And then the other thing I'm thinking of is its such this whole thing is she would have never have seen herself doing this had it not been for the path that you help to guide her. Yeah. Which is exactly why coaching is so absolutely important. And I know that at the beginning we said coaching this and out like whatever it is that we talk about.It's I mean fact of the matter is all professional coaches all high level players understand the importance of having a coach. Yeah. I think it will become more and more part of the vernacular more and more people are going to understand that investing in coaching is so is so essential. I mean how do you feel about that you have that as a common practice?Ali: Yeah yeah actually yeah. I have invested in multiple coaches and I have one now and I'm planning to have another one next year. I mean I don't see a reason not to win when your goals are something that you haven't done before it's a lot easier to learn from someone who has done it before. Just do it. Backlister.And yeah. Going back to the point that you were just saying how Jessie would have gone into maybe social media business around that. Had she not been in my program and I do want to say that the reason I focus so much on this like Soul alignment work and really finding your purpose first before digging into the business stuff is because it's so important not to just make a business.Your business it is a business but you're going to be working crazy hours and you know dedicating your life to something and if it's not something that really fulfills you and really excites you then you're just going to get burnt out you're gonna get tired exhausted. And it's not going to last. You're going to quit at some point or at least you're going to be really unhappy.And the point of my program is to find that and I think what's most cogent is to find that freedom not just not just doing the same kind of work like you're just being employed to your business at that point.Patty: My God you said my claw. Here's why. Because what you're doing is you're in since like shortcutting the process to get them right to what they really want to be doing instead of like it just like you said in her case she was oh social media because it's hot or because maybe it's a credibility factor like or its popular or it's easy or it's like the it's comfortable right.And we knew that in that comfort ability maybe she would have been bored wasting her time to your point and you're doing that work and the at the beginning is so natural it's like why aren't schools teaching this not only me. It's so very yeah. My God so crazy. OK. So with everything I mean we know that everything is an evolution. How has your business change as it's as it's grown or where do you see things moving towards for you.Ali: Yeah I mean it. So it changes with every launch that I have with every client that I work with. I get more and more clear on and on what my superpower is what my my brilliance is and. And yeah it just it changes constantly. So that's another thing that I talk about my clients to is like you pick one thing now and it's not going to stay like don't be so afraid of choosing one thing to start with because it's going to change it's going to shift in the future.And I always love the point at ready for you as an example. I think when she got started she was like an MTV dancer. And then some dance videos and then she was like a skating coach. And then now she's like this ball in a business coach. I like things changed so much and that's the thing you pick right now isn't probably not going to be what you're doing and a year from now and that's a good thing.So yeah. So I think the way my business has shifted is you know at first I started with so much mindset about what it takes to get started in business like actually how to actually launch your business. And the confidence behind that because that's what I had just discovered and I helped people one step behind me and pull them up to you know that new step that I was on.And then as I progressed in my business and learned more about business and learn more about finding your ideal clients and your neish the problem that you solve and outlining your system like the more I learn to buy them why I've learned by teaching my clients.That's kind of how my business has just progress with me. So yeah it's just its really cool because I know that the more I learned the more I get to pass down to my clients too. So it's just kind of a natural organic progression of like this stuff I enjoyed doing. And is this stuff something I would enjoy teaching. Yes. OK cool let's pass it on.And if it's not which I have found like I started to work with a few clients more on the technical stuff like running a Webinar and that kind of like Final process isn't really heavy and I don't like that part. So now I do still rely on a lot more of the mindset and basic business building foundations of that like yours on a brilliant or sit on your clients. And the problem we are solving really sticking to that and just really repeating that process over and over again. Yeah I really do love that part of getting started.Patty: I agree and it's honoring yourself from what you love doing and I just wanted to pinpoint the phrase that you said like it felt heavy. If it feels heavy it's like your own innate ability to say this is a feeling right for me and I think so many times we feel like we have to push or like push through something push through the pain and when you really don't have to I see that a lot.I mean I personally experienced that in my own life where I think that what business is supposed to look like and only have it I make it so hard on myself. I love that one piece go. It wasn't just this thing where it's almost like we question ourselves for having those feelings when those feelings are the ones we should be honoring. So yes.Ali: And I think it's so easy to look at other people in the industry and see what they're doing and think like you said oh I should be doing it that way lots of other people are doing and kind of following that path. But. But the cool thing about entrepreneurship is you really get to choose what you want it to be like you get to make up your entire business.So if something does feel heavy like don't do it. And I think part of what we should all be learning from when we want to leave our 9 to 5 jobs or any one of the corporate world is that we don't have to follow the same path that other people are doing. And like I said earlier like nobody knows what they're doing anyway so why would you go all of someone else.They don't know what they're doing either. They're just trying as well. So like don't go out and all of people. I had someone messaged me the other day about like oh this girl's us doing something similar to you. And I was like I don't like looking at stuff. I don't care like she's doing her way that's awesome. Amazing. I hope and wish her the best of success.But I don't want to get clouded by other people. How they're doing their business anymore. And I used to do that so much and I think that's a problem that so many new entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs have is like. They're always looking to the experts in quote unquote experts. There are people ahead of them what are they doing.And they just get stuck in this like constant learning mode and then we compare where we're at to where they're at which has years of experience ahead of us and we think we need to have all of this stuff done before we can actually like have a business and that's just not true.Just with so much overwhelm it's like just focus on what you're doing stop downloading the freebies stop going to the webinars like stop consuming all this content is just getting you overwhelmed and just simply like put your blinders on. Figure out what you want to do and like just try something that goes back to just trying and putting it out there.Patty: Yes. That's all right. Ellie we're going to bring it home. A couple questions for you. If I were a song pick I think of a favorite song for a song. What song would you pick?Ali: The one that came up for me really fast as the song Just Dance. And I don't I just.Patty: David Bowie.Ali: Know it's not David Bowie what is it? So it's like Lady Gaga or something and just Dance.Patty: Oh that one is Lady Gaga. I'm thinking David Bowie.Ali: I think because I love to just be silly and dance a lot by myself. That's probably why that would be loving that.Patty: All right. What is one personal development or growth habit that you have?Ali: I would just say meditation has been the biggest one that has stuck with me. That's how I got started in personal growth and entrepreneurship and everything. It all comes down to that one mindfulness practice for me.And this is something I say a lot to my clients and friends and whoever wants to listen that like it doesn't matter what kind of action you're taking. You can have all the life goals strategies and to do list in the world. And you can be taking all the action. But if you're not able to focus your awareness and your attention on what you actually want if you let yourself kind of go down negative rabbit holes then you're never going to create those results that you want.So that is one practice of meditation has really helped me focus my conscious awareness on what I want and you don't have to do like a whole bunch of stuff it's just a simple meditation practice of becoming more aware of your thoughts. That has been like the number one thing that has helped me and that I try to pass on to all my clients.Patty: That's excellent. So just out of curiosity is there an app that you would suggest somebody starting out with meditation.Ali: I started out with that headspace. It was really helpful for me just to get started. It was kind of like learning how to meditate and I use that for probably about six months until I started doing my own practices and I really like Oprah and Deepak do like a 21 day series every now and then. I love those things are great. And the OPCOM is what I use yeah occasionally not too as well but headspace is the one I got started with and I definitely would recommend that one.Patty: Yeah. I also love Holocene. I don't know if you've ever heard of a spy the center point Institute and it's some like Tibetan bowls with rain and all this other other noise in the background. I found that that wouldn't help me get probably the deepest into interstate that I was looking for. I mean they're kind of longer half an hour but I figure if I can even swing 10 minutes you know. And here's the thing is that people feel that they have to be in it. Like into a meditation for you know 15 30 minutes in the thing that I hear most is oh I don't have time. Yeah. It's like even I have only been five minutes you know.Ali: I've found in five minutes awful. And people think that you need this like a nice peaceful meditation place of quiet to do your meditation. You don't like you can do it on a bus ride you can do it on the subway to work you can do it when you're waiting at a red light. I mean when you're washing dishes brushing your teeth eating a meal these are like all times that I've found that I've been trying to be more like mindful especially when I'm brushing my teeth or eating a meal.Those are like triggers for me to remember. Like I'm just brushing my teeth right now. Let's just focus my breath. Let me brush my teeth. It doesn't have to be like something like a 30 minute practice that you sit down you have crystals and and you know it can be anywhere. So you can have any noise like noise all around you. But just learning to focus your awareness on your breath and when your mind wanders you just burn it right. That's right that's the practice.Patty love that. All right. Allie after all is said and done when do you want your legacy to be.Ali: My legacy. I definitely want to just leave people with more freedom in the world like I would like to spread that sense of freedom to as many people as possible.Patty: Good feeling to have it is definitely, it's my highest core value. Oh my God. First and foremost. So how do people get a hold of you? Find out more about your program how to connect to hear your coaching?Ali: Yeah so my blog about I started way long ago as punchdrunksoul.com.
