REAL-WORLD ROLES- If you've ever wondered how your life experience could become a coaching offer, this episode is about the Consultant Coach model- how you can blend wisdom, strategy, and mentorship into a sustainable business that helps others grow. I’ll walk you through specific niche examples that combine listening and guiding with teaching and advising. Whether you're drawn to business, parenting, ministry, or purpose work, there's a way to build an offer that reflects your story and serves someone else’s transformation.

Key Takeaways:

1. You don’t have to choose between coach or consultant. Consultant Coaching allows you to guide and give, offering both support and strategy.

2. Your experience is enough. You don’t need a fancy title to help someone solve the problem you’ve already walked through.

3. You can build a niche that fits your real life. Whether you’re a ministry leader, homeschool mom, entrepreneur, or creative, your story already holds the seeds of your offer.

Listener Challenge: Pick one niche that resonated with you most and write down why. What have you lived, learned, or led others through that could become part of your offer? Then ask yourself: Who needs what I now carry and what would it look like to serve them well?

BLEND WISDOM WITH SKILL- You don’t have to choose between coaching and consulting—you can do both. In this episode, we’re breaking down the hybrid model of Consultant Coaching: what it is, how it works, and how to know if it fits your strengths. If you’ve lived through hard things, built something meaningful, or have wisdom to offer and you love helping others process and grow—this is your lane.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Consultant Coaching blends deep listening with practical guidance.
2. It’s ideal for women who want to use both lived experience and coaching skills.
3. You can learn to switch hats without losing your client’s agency or momentum.

Listener Challenge: List three things you’ve been through or built that others regularly ask you about. Then reflect on how you could guide someone through those same things using a coaching mindset.

WHAT YOU DO NATURALLY IS VALUABLE - Let’s be honest: if you’ve been mentoring, encouraging, guiding, and holding space for the people around you, you’re already doing the work of a coach. The only difference? You haven’t been paid for it… yet. This episode will help you recognize the value of what you’re already doing and begin to shift from “helpful friend” to “paid guide” with clarity and confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Coaching isn’t something you start from scratch—it’s something you name and shape.
2. You’ve probably been building your skills in everyday conversations for years.
3. Shifting into a paid role is more about ownership than worthiness.

Listener Challenge: Write down five situations where you showed up like a coach in your everyday life. What did you do? How did you help? What would it look like to treat that with the same value as paid work?
