100: The Confessional: I'm building my business around the 9to5

This episode has been 2 months in the making and boy oh boy what an episode. I share EVERYTHING about how I've landed myself a dream job and everything I've been thinking and worrying about behind the scenes since it happened 2 months ago. It feels like a confessional. But I always promised I would keep it real in business and I'm so happy to finally share it with you. I share: > How this opportunity came about and why I said yes > The reasons (excuses) I've had for not sharing about here sooner > The fears and doubts I had about myself as a business coach and what I'm doing about it moving forward. > What's happening with Coaching with Pamella next...

99. How To Be Visible Without Sharing Everything

How much of your life actually needs to be public for your coaching business to succeed? Many coaches feel pressure to share more, reveal more, and become increasingly visible online in the hope that it will help them build trust and attract clients. But visibility and access are not the same thing. In this episode, I'm sharing my philosophy on privacy, boundaries, social media and what coaches actually need to share in order to build a successful business. We explore the difference between intentional visibility and oversharing, why your life doesn't need to become your content strategy, and how to decide what is off-limits in a way that feels aligned, empowering and sustainable. Whether you're struggling with what to post, feeling pressure to share more of your personal life, or questioning where the line between authenticity and privacy sits, this episode will help you create clarity and confidence around your own boundaries. In This Episode: • Why coaches often confuse visibility with access and how this impacts trust, marketing and sales • The hidden cost of turning your life into your content strategy • How to know whether you're sharing from intention or obligation • Why deciding what is off-limits creates more confidence, not less • Questions to help you establish boundaries that support both your business and your wellbeing If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message on Instagram and let me know your biggest takeaway. And if you're ready to build a coaching business with clearer messaging, stronger positioning and a sales process that feels aligned, explore my programs and resources designed specifically for life coaches building a business around the 9to5.

98. How Cassie Built a $45K Launch While Holding Fear and Belief at the Same Time

If you've ever felt like you need to have everything figured out before you can grow your business, this conversation is your reminder that fear and belief can exist together and that expansion is available long before certainty arrives. This week, I'm joined by bestselling author, kinesiologist, business alignment coach and founder of Love What You Create Podcast, Cassie Mendoza-Jones. Cassie has been my coach, mentor and trusted guide through some of the most important seasons of my business journey, including helping me create and launch my very first group coaching program. In this conversation, we explore what it really looks like to grow a business from self-trust rather than pressure, how to create from expansion rather than contraction, and why you don't need to feel confident, high vibe or completely certain in order to move forward. We also dive into the realities of navigating major life transitions while running a business, including motherhood, divorce, visibility, privacy, launching offers and building sustainable success when life isn't going according to plan. Towards the end of the episode, Cassie guides us through a powerful EFT tapping exercise designed to help you reconnect with possibility, trust your decisions and move forward with greater calm and clarity. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS * How Cassie transitioned from makeup artist to kinesiologist, author and business mentor * What kinesiology actually is and how it can support entrepreneurs * Why creating from expansion often works better than creating from pain * The mindset behind launching and selling group programs successfully * Building a $45K launch while raising young children * Why fear doesn't mean you're on the wrong path * How to hold fear and self-belief at the same time * The difference between acting from fear and acting despite fear * Scaling your business without working more hours * How to navigate major personal challenges while remaining visible in business * Privacy, boundaries and sharing personal experiences online * The signs you're ready to share a personal story publicly * How to process emotions before turning them into content * EFT tapping, self-trust and possibility energy * Creating a business that supports your life rather than consumes it MEMORABLE QUOTES > "You can be grateful and ask for more." > "I don't need to be high vibe to take aligned action." > "The presence of fear doesn't mean I'm on the wrong path." > "You can feel fear and still act from belief." > "Possibility exists whether you're ready for it or not. The work is becoming available to receive it." Work with Cassie Cassie Mendoza-Jones is the bestselling author of You Are Enough and It’s All Good, and Aligned and Unstoppable (Hay House), and a kinesiologist, NLP practitioner, business alignment coach, writer and speaker. Working with Cass releases the pressure you're placing on yourself, reconnects you with self-trust, and builds out what’s next for you, steeped in deep belief and big possibility energy.

97. How to take a holiday without thinking about your coaching business 24/7

You started your business to create freedom in your life and yet you're wondering if you should live launch because the insta pics are better on holiday? Let's discuss. If you're planning a holiday (or 5) this year and don't want to spend half of it wondering whether you should be posting, selling, creating content, checking messages, or "using the time wisely" for your business this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm unpacking something I've been reflecting on deeply after returning from three weeks away across Asia and Europe: the relationship between holidays, visibility, privacy, business ownership, and the pressure many coaches put on themselves to always be "on." I'm sharing how my relationship with holidays has changed since leaving corporate, becoming a digital nomad, building a coaching business, and eventually realizing that I don't actually want my business to occupy every corner of my life. I talk about the difference between taking a holiday from your job versus taking a holiday from your business, why your season of business matters when deciding whether to post while you're away, and how to stop making decisions based on what you think successful business owners should be doing. This episode is also the beginning of a bigger conversation around privacy, visibility, and building an online business that actually supports the life you want. Key Takeaways: • Why there is no universally "correct" way to take a holiday as a coach or business owner • The reflection questions to help you decide what you actually want your holidays to look and feel like • How your relationship with visibility changes as your business and identity evolve • The difference between taking intentional rest versus using holidays to escape your life • Why building a business around your life also means designing holidays around what you actually want • How to identify what abundance and opulence genuinely look like for you rather than copying other business owners Whether you're building your coaching business around a 9 to 5, running your business full time, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you think differently about what holidays, freedom, and success actually mean to you.

96. The Visibility Flinch with Sonya Rose: Why Brilliant Coaches Stay Invisible

In this episode of The Corporate to Coach Podcast, I sit down with visibility coach Sonya Rose for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, identity shifts, corporate conditioning, visibility, and what it really takes to build a business as a woman. We explore the emotional and practical transition from corporate careers into entrepreneurship, especially for women navigating midlife, self-worth, confidence, and visibility in business. Sonia shares her story of leaving a 30-year corporate career after experiencing anxiety and burnout, and how that journey eventually led her into coaching and visibility work. Together, we unpack the “visibility flinch” — that moment where you know exactly what you want to do in your business, but hesitate right before pressing send, applying for the opportunity, speaking up, or putting yourself forward. We talk openly about comparison, self-doubt, nervous system responses, identity work, and the long process of deconditioning from the corporate mindset. This episode is a powerful reminder that visibility is not just about posting online. It’s about being seen in every area of your business, trusting yourself enough to take up space, and allowing yourself to grow into the version of you your business requires. KEY TAKEAWAYS * Why burnout and anxiety are often the catalyst for leaving corporate and creating something more aligned * What the “visibility flinch” actually is and why almost every entrepreneur experiences it * The hidden ways women hold themselves back from opportunities, networking, speaking up, and charging properly * Why identity shifts matter more than simply changing habits or using affirmations * The long-term process of deconditioning from corporate overworking patterns * How comparisonitis impacts visibility and self-trust in business * Why your age, experience, and wisdom are actually your greatest advantage * The difference between knowing personal development and truly embodying change through coaching QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE > “Visibility is exposing, isn’t it? And it can bring up those old patterns and behaviours that don’t serve you.” — Sonya Rose > “You’ve got to go through this to become that version of you.” — Pamella Pritchard > “For things to change long term, you have to look at changing your identity.” — Sonya Rose > “When we overstretch our capacity, the quality tends to suffer.” — Pamella Pritchard CONNECT WITH SONYA ROSE Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/sonyarosecoaching/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091587726481] LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonya-rose-1ab636349/] WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER ✨ One-to-One Coaching HERE [https://www.coachingwithpamella.com/1-1-coaching-with-pamella1] Private coaching for life coaches who are serious about building a coaching business that actually creates clients, income, freedom, and long-term sustainability.
