This week: What I Do When a Client Needs Permission to Invest in Themselves

What does it actually look like when a female coach bets on herself and shows up to a live event — even when the timing feels impossible? In this roundtable episode, I sit down with three clients who attended the very first Best Damn Coach Live: Kindyl Keeton, a mindset and action coach who drove 16 hours with barely one paid client; Sharleen Lucas, an RN-turned-wellness consultant who had an aha moment that's been expanding ever since; and Lauren Enright, a fertility coach who flew in from Montreal, overcame her own scarcity spiral, and declared on the flight home that she'd write a book and launch a podcast. You'll hear: Why showing up before you feel ready is the whole point How being in the room with the right people rewires your identity as a coach The real objections these women had — money, kids, timing — and how they worked through them What happened to Lauren's business after she recommitted despite a tough financial quarter (spoiler: best month ever) What Kindyl, Sharleen, and Lauren are most excited about for BDC Live 2026 Best Damn Coach Live is April 13 & 14, 2026.
