GET STEADY BEFORE YOU MOVE- It’s easy for coaches to rush into planning, offering, and striving without first creating internal steadiness. In this episode, we talk about why anchoring matters before momentum. You’ll learn how presence, purpose, rhythm, and results work together to reduce reactivity, support clarity, and help you build something sustainable instead of chaotic.

Key Takeaways: • Presence keeps you grounded in what is real instead of driven by anxiety about the future. • Purpose and rhythm protect you from burnout by aligning your work with your values and capacity. • Results are feedback, not identity, and help you adjust without self judgment.

Action Guide: Notice which anchor feels weakest right now. Choose one simple action this week that strengthens it, such as slowing your pace, revisiting why you coach, adjusting your weekly rhythm, or reviewing results as neutral information instead of a verdict.

If you want to go deeper into identity, purpose, and belonging as a woman of faith, listen to my companion podcast: StoryMakers.

IDENTITY BEFORE STRATEGY- As we open a new year inside the Christian Life Coach Collective, this episode begins somewhere different. Not with pressure, performance, or planning, but with listening. Through prayer and guided reflection, you are invited to ask God who He says you are as a coach, why He shaped you the way He did, and who you are meant to serve. This episode walks you through identity, purpose, belonging, and a Great Exchange where lies are released and Truth is received, setting a grounded foundation for your coaching and business in the year ahead.

Key Takeaways: Identity precedes clarity, and listening comes before doing. Your coaching purpose is often simple, faithful, and rooted in how God formed you. Belonging is about resonance, not chasing markets or money.

Action Guide: Set aside quiet time this week to revisit the core questions from the episode. Ask God who He says you are, why He shaped you for coaching, and who you are meant to serve. Write down what you hear without editing or rushing. If lies surface, intentionally exchange them for Truth and let that Truth guide your next small, faithful step.

PRESENCE OVER PERFORMANCE - Christmas can be tender, emotional, and unexpectedly quiet. This episode is a gentle invitation to release pressure, stop striving, and notice where God has already been with you this year. Instead of fixing or forcing anything, we reflect on presence, peace that looks simple or unfinished, and the reminder every woman needs to hear on the holidays: you are not behind.

Key Takeaways • Christmas is about presence, not performance. • God meets us in unfinished, tender places. • Feeling emotional during the holidays does not mean you are failing or falling behind.

Action Guide Take a quiet moment today and ask yourself, Where did I notice God with me this year? Let one small moment be enough. No fixing, no planning, no pressure. Just notice and rest in that truth.
