MindsetMotherhood
Written By Ember29 (Sophie)

G sits down with her current business coach and one of her oldest entrepreneur friends, Emily Cassel, for a juicy convo unpacking some “trends” they’ve been noticing in the coaching industry. From “word salads” to “downloads” and “codes in the quantum,” they are doing their damndest to discern, in real time, how to be regularly gut-checking whether the words we use and the way we market big concepts like femininity and intuition as coaches is ethical, in integrity and in service to a generation of women listening.

 In this episode

  • How to embody what your values are in the coaching world as well as being a woman and a mother, to stay in integrity.

  • The power of investing in yourself to calibrate quicker and stay in your zone of genius.
