Speaker:coach, Molly Claire.
Speaker:Hey, coaches, I've got a great episode for you today. I am
Speaker:interviewing two coaches. They are in Master Coach
Speaker:Training and they are blowing my mind at the ways they are
Speaker:integrating this high level work with their clients.
Speaker:Meg and Jenny both focus on helping moms. Of course,
Speaker:I'm releasing this episode this week since we are
Speaker:celebrating Mother's Day here. Huge shout out to those
Speaker:of you out there who are moms who support moms. Those
Speaker:of you who play that type of role in any kids lives,
Speaker:shout out to you. The work you are doing matters. It is so
Speaker:important, it is often overlooked. But wow, does it make a
Speaker:difference. In this interview, you're going to learn a little bit
Speaker:more about how these coaches are integrating the
Speaker:work of master coach training as they are helping their clients.
Speaker:We're going to talk about the ways and reasons why
Speaker:having a whole view of your client, their emotions, their cognition,
Speaker:their nervous system, and the ways that action focused
Speaker:strategies will be most effective for them. You're going to learn about why
Speaker:this matters and how it makes a difference. And something I am
Speaker:really excited about is that both Meg and
Speaker:Jenny are offering a special bonus offer
Speaker:to any of you here who are moms, or if you know a mom and
Speaker:you send them their way, they are offering something extra
Speaker:special for those of you as moms because you're
Speaker:here listening to this podcast. So stay tuned for what they've
Speaker:got in store for you. All right, let's go ahead and dive right
Speaker:in. Okay, coaches, so I get to have two of
Speaker:my favorite people here, two of my clients who are
Speaker:doing incredible work as coaches with moms.
Speaker:Go ahead and tell us a little bit about you, Jenny.
Speaker:Welcome to the show. Tell us, who are you and what do you do?
Speaker:I'm Jenny Percy, and I am a coach for moms who
Speaker:are feeling overwhelmed, and I help them simplify their lives
Speaker:so they have more time and energy for the things that are important to
Speaker:them. Oh, my gosh. Like every mom listening. You know, I
Speaker:started working with moms initially, and of course, Jenny
Speaker:was- she did my advanced certification for motherhood and family life.
Speaker:Every mom listening is overwhelmed, like the first
Speaker:word we think of when we think of being a mom. Maybe it might
Speaker:be. Yeah. And I know, Jenny, you're going to speak more to
Speaker:this, but one of the things you're really focusing on in your
Speaker:business up and coming is decluttering and, and how
Speaker:powerful decluttering that space in the home
Speaker:is with regard to all of that overwhelming experience.
Speaker:Absolutely. Yep. I'm all for helping, helping moms create
Speaker:that peaceful home and a more peaceful mind with that as well.
Speaker:Yeah. Yeah. I love it. Okay,
Speaker:Meg, tell us about you. Thank you, Molly.
Speaker:Yes. I am a
Speaker:fellow mom, and I help other moms feel capable of raising their kids,
Speaker:whether they're typically developing or otherwise.
Speaker:And I just help them no matter how
Speaker:many times they feel like they've messed up along the way. Oh, my gosh.
Speaker:We all feel that way, for sure.So, as you hear
Speaker:Jenny and Meg, there is some similarities in
Speaker:what they do. But as we talk through this episode, we're
Speaker:going to highlight each of these women, and I'm really excited
Speaker:for them to share with you, really, the unique way they
Speaker:work with their clients. And they both bring a little bit different background and they're
Speaker:just, they're doing phenomenal work.Okay. So as we talk about this,
Speaker:one of the reasons that I reached out to these two
Speaker:amazing women is they are both in Master Coach Training.
Speaker:And I've been wanting to highlight some of
Speaker:the master coaches and really have
Speaker:them speak to the expansion of the coaching tools because
Speaker:having coaching tools that work and being able to
Speaker:create a safe, ethical, effective space for your clients
Speaker:is such a big deal. And so I wanted to highlight them and talk
Speaker:a little about master coach training. So I'm just
Speaker:going to go back and forth and pick on you a little bit.
Speaker:Meg, I would love to know from you the work that we're
Speaker:doing in master coach training, how have
Speaker:you noticed it impacting your ability to help these
Speaker:moms that you're working with? Master coach training
Speaker:has really shed a lot of light on
Speaker:slowing down with ourselves, and as I work
Speaker:with the moms of kids who have
Speaker:varying levels of need, I'm able to help her
Speaker:slow down and really understand what she
Speaker:needs is separate from what her children need. And
Speaker:so she can fill herself up a bit more as she
Speaker:pours into her kids. Yeah. And one
Speaker:of the things that you're speaking to, and for both of you, I know I'm
Speaker:kind of picking on you, but please, you know, speak up if you have something
Speaker:to interject, too, because I really think just a conversation
Speaker:about this is the best. But, you know, Meg, as you were speaking,
Speaker:I was thinking about what we studied just a few weeks
Speaker:ago about that idea of the parent child
Speaker:relationship being so intertwined. Right.
Speaker:And being so caught up in, if my kids emotions are
Speaker:high, my emotions are high. If my kid isn't succeeding,
Speaker:then I need to figure out how to make them succeed. Right. And we get
Speaker:so entangled. And I love that you're
Speaker:speaking to the work you're doing with moms to
Speaker:help them, really to be grounded in themselves,
Speaker:to slow down. Right. Make sure that they are
Speaker:able to regulate their nervous system and attend to their needs so they can
Speaker:be there for their kids, which is a big
Speaker:deal. Absolutely. It's a huge,
Speaker:huge impact on their family when they're able to do that.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Jenny, I'd love to know from you,
Speaker:too, thinking about the work we do in master coach
Speaker:training, whether it's, you know, part of the niche work that we do or any
Speaker:of those fundamentals of the cognitive emotion work, all the
Speaker:things. Where do you find it helping you, help your
Speaker:clients? Yeah. Well, I mean, you wouldn't think that
Speaker:you necessarily needed a master coach when it came to decluttering, but it
Speaker:actually can be really hard to do and really
Speaker:emotional. And a lot of people feel a lot of-
Speaker:can feel a lot of shame around the clutter in their
Speaker:homes. So it's important to me to be able to
Speaker:create, you know, a safe space, space for people to come together
Speaker:and feel, you know, that they can be vulnerable, that they can be
Speaker:supported. And I think all the things that we're learning
Speaker:about tapping and nervous system regulation
Speaker:is really, really helping me be able to support
Speaker:them with all those emotions that can come up.
Speaker:Yeah, I think. And using that word support, I love it, because,
Speaker:you know, as coaches, we can, we can have a plan of action. Right. And
Speaker:certainly there are things that we encourage our clients to do, and
Speaker:I know both of you are well trained in a cognitive
Speaker:model as well, where we're looking at beliefs and mindset, and
Speaker:yet the part where we're able to actually support
Speaker:our clients and what they're experiencing, it's a
Speaker:whole different thing. Right. And, I mean, I've had people help
Speaker:me with decluttering before, and I was so surprised at the
Speaker:emotions that I had and that we would need to go for a walk around
Speaker:the block because it got to be so much. I
Speaker:know. And oftentimes it's because of, you know, a phase of your life is
Speaker:ending and you're entering into a new phase and you're letting go of things, you
Speaker:know, the little baby clothes or whatever it might be. And it
Speaker:does, it brings up a lot of emotion. Yes, it, it really
Speaker:does. And it's unique also to be
Speaker:helping moms with that decluttering piece.
Speaker:Right. Because if there's one thing I think we,
Speaker:most of us, anyway, have experience, experienced as moms, there's
Speaker:just, there are a lot of ways you just don't have the control you would
Speaker:like to have in your environment. Right. What's coming in and out
Speaker:of the house and what's going on. So, so it can feel a lot.
Speaker:It can feel quite chaotic, I think. Exactly. Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah. And one question I wanted to ask you, too, and this
Speaker:is certainly, obviously, both of you are bought into
Speaker:the idea of serving your clients well and having the
Speaker:best skills that you can have and all of that. And I also
Speaker:would love to know from both of you why
Speaker:you've chosen to work with moms, why you see that as such an
Speaker:important client to work with. Meg, I'll pick on you
Speaker:first. I would love to. I absolutely love working
Speaker:with moms because I feel like moms want to be a
Speaker:role model and they want to be the person that their kids are
Speaker:looking up to. And if mom can
Speaker:present herself and be that mom that
Speaker:she always has envisioned, you know, she
Speaker:will treat her kids in just that way
Speaker:she's proud of. And then when her kids are grown and have their own
Speaker:kids, that's going to be their role model. You know, that's what
Speaker:they're going to be mimicking. So it's just the trickle down effect, the snowball
Speaker:of it is just absolutely amazing
Speaker:to think about. Yeah. And, I mean, as
Speaker:you were talking, I was thinking about how I
Speaker:certainly learned great things from my mom
Speaker:and about being a mom and the work
Speaker:that I've done personally and the work that we do in master coach
Speaker:training that I started doing for myself and have brought to
Speaker:this. I can genuinely say that it has made
Speaker:me such a better mom kind
Speaker:of in ways I didn't even realize were there. Right. I would say
Speaker:even in emotional capacity and an
Speaker:understanding of emotional needs, which is kind
Speaker:of interesting to think about because, and I know both of you understand this because
Speaker:you're in that training. Right. And, you know, the emotion work that we're talking about.
Speaker:But I think that for most of us as coaches,
Speaker:we've probably always been pretty aware of feelings. A lot of us are
Speaker:very sensitive. We're maybe intuitive. We're maybe
Speaker:empathic. I definitely relate to all of those
Speaker:things. And it actually never would have occurred to me that there were
Speaker:some emotional gaps for me in my
Speaker:parenting. And yet the more that we
Speaker:study this work and learn about how to
Speaker:attend to our own emotional needs, it's expanded my
Speaker:capacity to be there for my kids, which is such a big deal.
Speaker:Right. It's given understanding to what they're going
Speaker:through or how they might be feeling or even just how to support
Speaker:them in that way that prior to master coach training,
Speaker:I would have just kind of been at a loss and, you know, stepped back
Speaker:from and said, you know, I don't really know what to do here, but now
Speaker:I'm able to support with open arms and just be right there
Speaker:where they need. Yeah. And such a need. Right. It's
Speaker:one of the things that I've talked about in the past and in some of
Speaker:my webinars as well with regard to people with a mom niche
Speaker:is, it can be hard for moms to justify
Speaker:paying for coaching sometimes. And this idea that
Speaker:as coaches who are saying "coaching moms matters"
Speaker:is really kind of validating
Speaker:to these women that they deserve to have help
Speaker:and support. And it's always so crazy to me to think about, you know,
Speaker:you look at Olympic athletes, you look at, you know,
Speaker:CEO's, you look at people in these, you know, quote unquote,
Speaker:big roles or these big purposes to
Speaker:fulfill, and they all have coaches, right? Not just one.
Speaker:And yet as women, as moms, first of all, we have
Speaker:no idea what we're doing when we have a baby, right? It's
Speaker:like, oh, I'm taking this human home. Right. So not only
Speaker:that, but, but it really is such important
Speaker:work to be cultivating a space of growth
Speaker:for another human being. And so. Oh, my gosh, like, if anyone
Speaker:needs a coach, he do. Yes,
Speaker:absolutely. Yeah. And, Jenny. Yeah. I'd love to hear more from you
Speaker:about, about coaching. Yeah. I was going to say, you know what
Speaker:I love coaching about with moms is that
Speaker:often moms, they've got so many roles and responsibilities and
Speaker:they're often putting themselves last. And
Speaker:I don't think you realize until you do give yourself some
Speaker:time to devote to yourself how the ripple effect that that
Speaker:has that, you know, it's not selfish to go
Speaker:and get a coach for yourself. It is actually
Speaker:benefiting, you know, your whole family around you as well.
Speaker:And that's what I love to see. Yes. I mean,
Speaker:absolutely. The ripple effect is just everything.
Speaker:Okay. So I want to come back to you, Meg, because
Speaker:outside of being a coach, you also are a
Speaker:personal trainer, but not just any personal trainer. So talk a little
Speaker:bit about the work that you do there.
Speaker:I do personal training for quite a variety of
Speaker:people, but one specific population is
Speaker:I am a specialty fitness trainer. So I work with
Speaker:adult aged people that have autism or down
Speaker:syndrome or id, and I
Speaker:meet them at a space and I help them,
Speaker:of course, build strength, but also just help them
Speaker:interact with people in the social situation or
Speaker:encourage them when they're feeling their big feelings. Being in a
Speaker:social situation, and it's so much more than just
Speaker:training muscles and building endurance. It's also building life
Speaker:skills. Yes. And I know
Speaker:one thing. Not only do you, do you work with that population, but you
Speaker:support the moms of those clients.
Speaker:Yes. Oh, yes. I learned
Speaker:early on just in the interactions that I was having
Speaker:with mom as she was dropping off
Speaker:her child to be with me,
Speaker:just kind of hearing how her day was going and what was going on.
Speaker:And I am able to support mom in that
Speaker:space as she's juggling a journey that maybe she
Speaker:never anticipated. It's different. It's not what she expected.
Speaker:And helping her just have some clarity
Speaker:in her expectations for herself as she
Speaker:is navigating all of this, as she's navigating the
Speaker:schedules and the upcoming changes as her
Speaker:child has. Her child has gone from being a
Speaker:kid up to being an adult. Yeah. And
Speaker:as I'm listening to you, it's like,
Speaker:obviously there are special
Speaker:needs within that experience
Speaker:for the mom of the special needs child. Right. There are special
Speaker:needs there. And when I look at my own kids,
Speaker:and I think anyone who's listening who is a mom, if you think about each
Speaker:of your kids, they each kind of have certain
Speaker:special needs about them, right. Certain things that
Speaker:challenge them. And I think, and this isn't to minimize
Speaker:parents with special needs kids, that they're really taking a
Speaker:significant amount of time and support. Not at all
Speaker:to minimize that. And I also want
Speaker:to acknowledge that some of the
Speaker:challenges that you're supporting those moms with, so many of
Speaker:us just, we have just a different flavor of those challenges.
Speaker:Right. Like, this isn't what I thought motherhood would be
Speaker:like. I have certain expectations for my child, and they're not being
Speaker:met. How do I know what my role is and what it isn't?
Speaker:It's just, it's so, so much. Right. So I would
Speaker:imagine that we're obviously, you would be
Speaker:hands down the one to coach a mom of
Speaker:a child with special needs. And I
Speaker:feel like this has to really equip you even better to
Speaker:be able to work with moms of all kinds.
Speaker:Would you agree? Like, I would love to know how it impacts your ability to
Speaker:help these women. Having the awareness and
Speaker:the ears to really listen to what mom is searching
Speaker:for as she is
Speaker:parenting any of her children and knowing that just like no
Speaker:two people are the same, no two relationships between
Speaker:mom and child are the same. And so
Speaker:by having my experience working with all types of
Speaker:populations, I'm able to kind of meet her right where she is.
Speaker:And, you know, mom, just listening
Speaker:what is missing in you right now or just what needs to
Speaker:be nourished or loved or fueled so that you can keep
Speaker:fulfilling the needs of your children no matter what
Speaker:phase that they're in. Yeah. It just,
Speaker:as I have learned, I have experienced the
Speaker:patience that is required and the ability to
Speaker:really slow down and understand what is going
Speaker:on with my clients and then also with their
Speaker:parents and kind of how to bridge that gap that they
Speaker:may need to be filled. Yes. And, you know, as
Speaker:you were talking, I was thinking about, I know many of you can just hear
Speaker:this and you can't see the video, but, you know, Meg's putting her hands
Speaker:on her heart. I feel like we're doing that all the time - right -
Speaker:in our group because I always do that, too. It's like this way of self
Speaker:connecting. And I was thinking about this concept
Speaker:that we study in master coach training where
Speaker:we're talking about how to untangle in their relationship, to
Speaker:connect. Right. And when we, in our relationship,
Speaker:whether it's with our kids, our spouse, or anyone, when we can,
Speaker:can kind of create space between us and that other person,
Speaker:kind of mentally and emotionally connect with
Speaker:self and then have the tools to connect with that
Speaker:child or with that spouse else - right - it's, I believe,
Speaker:anyway, the absolute opportunity to have the
Speaker:best relationship with self and the most supportive
Speaker:relationship with everyone else in our lives.
Speaker:Yeah. And I love that you're, It sounds like you're able to do that
Speaker:in. In both of these areas of your life when you're doing the
Speaker:personal training and supporting those moms. And also just
Speaker:in the coaching space with the moms you work with, untangling.
Speaker:Spider webs, the specialty.
Speaker:That could be your, your catchphrase right
Speaker:there. Amazing.Okay, I'm going to pick on you a
Speaker:little bit, Jenny, because I'd love to hear more about the
Speaker:decluttering work that you're doing and kind of what brought you to that.
Speaker:Because I know, in working with you that you, you've
Speaker:offered a variety of really supportive pieces of
Speaker:your business to moms with energy. Right. And
Speaker:just so many things. And so tell, tell us a little bit about
Speaker:why you're gravitating toward the decluttering.
Speaker:Okay, sure. So I guess, overall, my
Speaker:overarching thing I'm always trying to do is make life easier for moms.
Speaker:Really? Like, it's never going to be a walk in the park, but there are
Speaker:things that we can do to make things easier. Okay. And,
Speaker:and the thing that I'm specifically focusing on now is this, is
Speaker:this decluttering peace. Because I think, like I said
Speaker:earlier, just having that, having a peaceful
Speaker:home does help. You have a peaceful mind, and I think it can be
Speaker:one area of your life where you can have a little bit of control sometimes.Like,
Speaker:I know, I recall one time decluttering my pantry, and it was
Speaker:like, the one space in my house that, you know, when I
Speaker:opened it up, I just felt calm. And so sometimes, like, when things are
Speaker:falling around, you can just go and breathe.
Speaker:It's so true. I mean, as you were saying that, I remember
Speaker:when I first, I decluttered my entire kitchen and everything
Speaker:was labeled. Everything everywhere. And
Speaker:it's really true. It has a psychological impact.
Speaker:It does. It does. It really does, though. Yeah.
Speaker:And where do you see your, your clients
Speaker:struggling with either starting the process of
Speaker:decluttering or maintaining it? I
Speaker:would say oftentimes people can get started,
Speaker:but then they run out of steam and they end up with a bigger
Speaker:mess than when they began, and it, and it just becomes so
Speaker:overwhelming. And so the process I use, that won't
Speaker:happen. You won't have that. The particular process I'm
Speaker:using, it's always, you know, you're always making
Speaker:progress. Things are never getting worse. They're always getting better.
Speaker:So. And it's something that you can do
Speaker:in a very short amount of time. That's all you've got.
Speaker:You know, it's obviously going to take longer, but you're going to chip away at
Speaker:it and you are going to make progress, which I think, you know, a lot
Speaker:of us don't have the time or the energy, especially moms,
Speaker:to dedicate a whole day to pulling everything out
Speaker:and going through it all. So, you know, so it was
Speaker:important to me to have a way that, that's
Speaker:accessible for people with little time or energy.
Speaker:Yeah, it's those bite sized pieces, right? Kind of
Speaker:like, like when we talk about the effective action
Speaker:strategies in master coach training, like how do we help people move forward?
Speaker:Well, if they're already overwhelmed, giving them a big
Speaker:project - right - is going to be overwhelming. But when we can give
Speaker:our clients those bite sized pieces, pieces and do it in a way where you're
Speaker:bringing that emotional support, awareness of the nervous system,
Speaker:it's just like, I'm ready to hire you, and, and I
Speaker:certainly could use it. And I just love to listen to your voice, so that
Speaker:also would be helpful. So amazing.
Speaker:And. Yeah, and I think also. No, I was going to say that
Speaker:I think what I've discovered is, you know, there's
Speaker:thousands of books on decluttering. Like, it's, and oftentimes
Speaker:it similar to weight loss. It's not like we don't know what to
Speaker:do. It's just for some reason, it's really hard to do.
Speaker:And I think through master coach training, I've been able to take the
Speaker:pieces of the puzzle and put it together in a way that's going
Speaker:to make it work for people. And a big part of that, I
Speaker:think, too, is doing it in a community, in a safe, supportive
Speaker:community that we all motivate each other
Speaker:and support each other and just give each other that direction to take
Speaker:the next step and cheer each other on. And I think that is
Speaker:a big piece of it as well. Yes. It's the best,
Speaker:isn't it? I just feel like it's just this space of so much
Speaker:support and connection and all of it.
Speaker:And, I mean, I'm just going to tell you all, I, unapologetically, I'm going to
Speaker:be telling you why these two are the best people to hire
Speaker:for what they offer and because not only because I
Speaker:obviously love and adore them and know how good they are,
Speaker:but also, you know, we, we really, together
Speaker:are studying the, the ways to make sure that
Speaker:the work that we do with our clients is effective.
Speaker:Right. And so, so I think it's, it's a big deal.
Speaker:In, in a few minutes, I actually am going to kind of ask that
Speaker:question so we can understand why what you do is different, why
Speaker:it's going to be so effective for the mom's listening
Speaker:here, or if you're listening here and, you know, a mom. Right. Why you should
Speaker:send people to them. But I want to shift gears just for a
Speaker:minute, because, you know, here we're talking about how you're
Speaker:supporting the women you work with. And
Speaker:I think we all know, I can at least say this, everything I've
Speaker:ever learned to be able to support all of you as my clients,
Speaker:it always benefits me in so, such a big way. First,
Speaker:I would love to hear from, from both of you how
Speaker:this community and learning and master coach training
Speaker:has impacted you personally. So
Speaker:who wants to go first? Raise your hand. Yeah,
Speaker:I can say that right before this call with you,
Speaker:I was tapping like it was something I never
Speaker:knew anything about before. And I mean,
Speaker:the wonderful Melanie Faye has just,
Speaker:oh, she just blows me away. She's just phenomenal at
Speaker:what she does and how, you know, like, I'm
Speaker:someone who has to mostly watch replays, but,
Speaker:but I feel like she's talking to me. That has helped
Speaker:me so much. The nervous system work and realizing, like, it's one of those things
Speaker:where, you know, oh, yes, you need self care is important, yada,
Speaker:yada. But it's not until, you know, we've
Speaker:heard how Leah has shared with us
Speaker:how the benefit that that's having on us and being able
Speaker:to show up for all the things that we're doing
Speaker:in our lives when we look after our nervous system like
Speaker:that has helped me immensely. Well,
Speaker:and I love that you brought them up because Melanie,
Speaker:Leah, Lindsey, of course Krista's going to be in there.
Speaker:I think one of the benefits is just, just
Speaker:when you are with other women who bring some
Speaker:unique gifts and sort of that nurturing, it just has an
Speaker:impact. Right. And it's true. So, you know, you may have noticed Jenny said
Speaker:she doesn't attend a lot of the calls because she is, she,
Speaker:listen to this. She is up this morning for a 04:00 a.m..
Speaker:Interview. I about died when she told me. But Jenny
Speaker:isn't able to attend the calls live. And, and we were talking the
Speaker:other day about how she still feels a part of things. So I
Speaker:say that because I know some of you that have talked to me, you have
Speaker:that concern. But I promise you will feel a part of things
Speaker:even with watching the replays and being there on Slack.
Speaker:Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. And these women
Speaker:really are phenomenal. And I was going to mention something about,
Speaker:about Leah and what you were saying about, you know, well, self care
Speaker:is all, you know, fine and well, but it
Speaker:really is a big deal. I will never forget when, I don't
Speaker:know if you remember either of you, but when I asked Leah in one of
Speaker:the calls about talking about how,
Speaker:yeah, we can have activation, but we also still have some
Speaker:access to the cognitive. Right. Which is true. But if you remember,
Speaker:what she said was, I think you would be surprised at
Speaker:how much you do lose access to your
Speaker:prefrontal cortex with that nervous system activation, and it blew
Speaker:my mind. And so I think, really, that's been one of the things
Speaker:for me that I have really continued to remind
Speaker:myself of that. Like, listen, for us as. As women, as
Speaker:moms, for us as business owners, we
Speaker:have absolutely got to be in a space
Speaker:where we are grounded, where we are peaceful, where we feel
Speaker:safe. That is how we create businesses. That is
Speaker:how we create connection. That's how we do all of it. So it's not just,
Speaker:like a nice thing. It's the foundation of
Speaker:creating the things we most want, I think. Yeah,
Speaker:definitely. Yeah. And kind of piggybacking,
Speaker:piggybacking on that. As you just said, one of the things in master coach
Speaker:training that we talk about is that activation. And the way
Speaker:that has directly impacted me as a mom
Speaker:is when I am, you know, handling my kids that
Speaker:I call the witching hour at my house between four and 06:00,
Speaker:when they've gone through all of their day, all of their
Speaker:highs and lows and all of that, and just when they say
Speaker:their words, I can have compassion for them.
Speaker:Okay, this individual just experienced all
Speaker:of these highs and lows, and maybe, as you said, maybe their brain isn't on
Speaker:right now and giving them that space
Speaker:to be there and offer support but not force it, because we
Speaker:also know if we don't want help, we're not going to receive it. So
Speaker:offer the support, but if they say, no, thank you, you know, allowing them
Speaker:to have that space and then talking to them later, and
Speaker:that is something that has absolutely impacted my own
Speaker:personal life. I'm able to be more patient with my kids during
Speaker:witching hour. Yeah. Yeah, I love that. I just
Speaker:yesterday was talking with a friend that was- we were just walking
Speaker:in the neighborhood and, you know, she's asking me kind of like, trying
Speaker:to understand more about master coach training. Right. And what do we do?
Speaker:And of course, you know, I'm always implementing all of this
Speaker:work for myself. And I didn't know what to say other
Speaker:than, I mean, obviously you can say, okay, these are the, you know, foundational pieces
Speaker:of effective change, and you want to help your clients change and have it be
Speaker:lasting and all those things. But I said, you know, the best
Speaker:way I can describe it for me and for. For my coaches in
Speaker:the program that I've spoken with is
Speaker:just feeling more emotionally
Speaker:resilient, feeling more settled
Speaker:and stronger in self trust in
Speaker:capabilities and all of it. Which it's like, first of
Speaker:all, hallelujah. Right? Like, even for our personal life and
Speaker:how we feel. I mean, what a foundation for long term
Speaker:health. And that spills over into our
Speaker:ability to be a strong CEO as we build our business. Because building a
Speaker:business, it's a whole. It's a whole other thing. Right. It's a whole different
Speaker:ballgame. And yet when we can have this
Speaker:foundation of feeling grounded, emotional
Speaker:resilience, building self trust, it opens the door
Speaker:for us to more effectively learn those business
Speaker:building skills. Right, right. And then, of course, the huge benefit is that we
Speaker:get to help our clients, too. So, so good. Yeah.
Speaker:The personal, the person. Who was it? I think it was our other Jenny
Speaker:was saying that, you know, master coach training is like the
Speaker:best self care program ever, and we just thank goodness that we get to
Speaker:justify it as business. Right. And do it, too, because it's business.
Speaker:But, oh, my gosh, what a space of support. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker:it's wonderful. Anything else either of you wanted to speak to on that? I
Speaker:know, I just kind of went off on my own tangent. No, I think
Speaker:it was making me think of when we do any coaching work, it's
Speaker:opening up possibility in other areas that you don't even realize.
Speaker:Like one client I was working with, I was helping her with her
Speaker:decluttering and just doing that sort
Speaker:of, it boosted her confidence and it helped
Speaker:her think about. She started talking to me about a business idea that she
Speaker:has to launch her own business. Making home cooked
Speaker:meals for freezer meals for busy
Speaker:working parents for their kids, this sort of thing. And it's just like, that's not
Speaker:what she came to me for in the first place. And I think that's
Speaker:what we do for people is open up that possibility for them in other
Speaker:areas. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker:absolutely. Which I think actually is another reason that it
Speaker:is so important to expand our skills as a coach.
Speaker:Right. Because our client, like, I had a client that came to me,
Speaker:this was years, probably like seven years ago in my business, and she was
Speaker:wanting me to help get her side business going. Well, we talked about her
Speaker:relationship with her mother in law for three months. Right. It was like,
Speaker:this is not what she came to me for. So I think that's the other
Speaker:thing We have to remember that as coaches, sometimes our clients come to us for
Speaker:a pain point because that's the easy thing to say I need help with.
Speaker:But when we can be equipped in a well rounded way, it is. I mean,
Speaker:we really can support incredible changes. Yeah.
Speaker:Okay, so we're going to wrap this episode up here in just a few minutes.
Speaker:But I want to ask you. I'm going to, I'm going to ask each of
Speaker:you, what makes you different? Why should someone hire you? I'm
Speaker:just, like. I'm just saying it because I just know how good
Speaker:both of you are. And I know all of you listening. I know there are
Speaker:moms out there who are overwhelmed, stressed out, worried if
Speaker:you're doing enough as a mom, thinking that you've already messed up a
Speaker:million times. And I think Meg is
Speaker:like, she's the one right for that. So,
Speaker:Meg, tell us, how can you help these
Speaker:women? Love to help these women. And as
Speaker:you said, you know, feeling like they messed up a million times, you know, that's
Speaker:okay. That's okay. And just meeting them right
Speaker:where they are, even with all those mess ups and teaching them how
Speaker:to care for their unique selves and their unique
Speaker:family and just having that understanding compassion
Speaker:for all of it, no matter what they thought they were getting
Speaker:into, compared to what it is now,
Speaker:specifically, if it's the typical child or otherwise,
Speaker:and just allowing them to be just
Speaker:who they are, it's just so beautiful. And
Speaker:I love to talk to each of the moms.
Speaker:Yes. Oh, my gosh. Yes. And I know in a minute, Meg, and actually, Meg
Speaker:and Jenny, both have a super special offer for my listeners,
Speaker:so hang tight. But, yeah, Meg, I love all the
Speaker:workshops that you've done, and I've just seen and felt your passion for
Speaker:these women and these moms, and it's just everything. So
Speaker:I'm super, super happy to have you here speaking to my audience.
Speaker:So. Great. Okay, Jenny, why should- I think everyone
Speaker:needs to do your decluttering program, by the way. I think we all need a
Speaker:bit of decluttering. Like, you can see me on video here behind me
Speaker:might be tidy, but I can tell you there's areas off camera that
Speaker:need some work. Like,
Speaker:I am where you are. Like, if you're
Speaker:struggling with feeling overwhelmed, I've been there. Or
Speaker:I am there still in a lot of ways. So I'm all
Speaker:about doing this realistically. Okay. We're not going to be creating
Speaker:a Pinterest home here. This is
Speaker:functional decluttering. And, yeah, I really
Speaker:care about all of my clients. I'm someone
Speaker:who wants to bring out the best in them to help support
Speaker:them. And, yeah, that's, that's what I'm all about.
Speaker:Really amazing. And, of course, you know, Jenny, I've worked with
Speaker:you in advanced certification and now in master coach training.
Speaker:So I've also seen Jenny for a while, and I see the
Speaker:way that you, you give such care and
Speaker:attentiveness to your clients needs. And, and just
Speaker:knowing you, I'm so excited about this decluttering program.
Speaker:So it's phenomenal. I am, too. Yeah.
Speaker:Okay, so everything's in the show notes, but I'm going to have each of them
Speaker:tell you about their super amazing offer. So if you're here
Speaker:listening to this and you are interested in either one
Speaker:of these amazing coaches or both,
Speaker:Meg, tell them what to do. Tell them what you're offering.
Speaker:Absolutely. I would love to invite any moms who are
Speaker:looking to feel more capable in raising their kids, whether they're typically developing
Speaker:or otherwise, to spend some time with me this summer. I would love
Speaker:to be your mom mentor and spend some extra
Speaker:special time together by scheduling a starting point session
Speaker:with me. And during our conversation, if you mention Molly's
Speaker:podcast, then I will give you a special bonus, which will
Speaker:be that I'll add a one on one session where we will create your
Speaker:own custom wellness calendar together so you can get
Speaker:yourself ready to not lose your cool with
Speaker:your kids this summer. Oh, my gosh. It's so amazing. And as Meg and
Speaker:I were talking earlier, I was thinking what a great time to work with
Speaker:you over the summer because there's like bringing in a little bit
Speaker:of space during that time. The coaching isn't overwhelming.
Speaker:It's not going to crowd out summer vacations. And I. I'm so excited about
Speaker:that offer. So, listen, if you're interested in working with Meg, get on our calendar
Speaker:and make sure to mention the podcast, because you will get that summer planning
Speaker:session. And I'm hoping I can sneak on her schedule, too. So.
Speaker:Yeah. Yeah. Okay, Jenny, how about you tell
Speaker:them? What do they get? I've got an upcoming decluttering program,
Speaker:which will be small group, but if you get on the waitlist for that, which
Speaker:will be in the show notes, then before the end of May, if
Speaker:you sign up onto that waitlist, you'll get a bonus one on one session with
Speaker:me. So, which I'm really excited about. So,
Speaker:so good. And Jenny does such great work with energy
Speaker:and stress reduction and all of that. So, so
Speaker:good. Thank you so much to both of you for being
Speaker:here. I'm so appreciative. This is such a great episode. And to all
Speaker:you moms out there, Happy Mother's Day. You're doing
Speaker:amazing work. I'm going to speak for all three of us because
Speaker:I know that they feel this way. We are sending you all the love
Speaker:and all the support and cheering you on.
Speaker:All right, thanks so much. I'll see you all
Speaker:next week. Thank you. Thanks
