No one’s telling coaches this, but it’s why you don’t have clients.
You say you want more clients.

But when’s the last time you created a real pathway for someone to become one?

Coaches often wait for leads to fall from the sky, while hiding behind content, Canva, and “working on my website.”

Client creation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through intentional communication that builds trust and moves people forward.

Here’s a simple tip:
Pick 5 people in your audience who’ve been circling your content but haven’t bought yet.

Reach out.
Start a real conversation.
Ask where they’re at and if they want support, offer a quick coaching call (not a sales call, a service call).

And no, this isn’t about being spammy or chasing.
It’s about showing up as a coach who’s in motion, not waiting for permission.

Why this matters:
Because the more client conversations you create, the more consistent your income becomes.

Want more practical tips like this? Drop “MORE” below—I’ve got a whole list.

So many high-achieving women I coach quietly wrestle with this:
They’ve built the life they thought they wanted… yet feel the pressure to keep looking, acting, and performing like a past version of themselves.

But what if evolving isn’t failure?
What if that`s the point?

That’s what I unpack in this month’s BOLD Newsletter, a reflection on change, self-acceptance, and why honoring the woman you’re becoming is one of the bravest moves you can make.

Read it in the comment below.

Success doesn’t tell you the truth.

It whispers: “Keep climbing. Keep proving. Keep performing.”
But what it doesn’t tell you is how lonely it feels at the top.

On Saturday, a group of high-achieving women gathered inside the BOLD AF (Activated & Free) Workshop and they did the real work:

▪️Naming the fears that silence them when they most want to speak up.
▪️Letting go of the habits that make them overthink every word, text, or email.
▪️Stepping into a version of success that feels free, not forced.

Because here’s the truth: the version of you that’s bold, unapologetic, and clear, that’s not a fantasy. She’s been here all along.

And Saturday proved it.

There’s ONE last opportunity this year to experience the BOLD AF Workshop, coming this September. After that, doors close until 2026.

If you’re done watering yourself down to make everyone else comfortable, this is your moment.

Comment BOLD and I’ll DM you the details.
And tag the woman you know who’s ready to stop performing and start leading.

Your breakthrough starts here.

Your breakthrough starts here.

You’ve checked all the boxes.
Built the career.
Earned the respect.
Handled it all, without dropping the ball.

From the outside, it’s “success.”
But inside?
There’s a whisper you can’t shake:
Is this it?

You love your life. You’ve worked hard for it.
And yet, there’s a part of you that wants… more.
Not more on your calendar.
More of what matters, the work, relationships, and impact that speak to your deepest calling.

That’s why I created the BOLD AF Workshop.
It’s not about fixing yourself.
It’s about stripping away the noise so you can finally hear your own voice again.

This is where high-achieving women come to:
Reflect without judgment
Get honest about what they really want
Leave with the clarity and courage to go after it

You’ve spent years delivering for everyone else.
This one’s for you.

DM me, "I`M IN" and I`ll send you the link to register.

First 5 to register get a complimentary Bold Breakthrough Session, a private 30-minute call to name what’s next and map your bold move.
