You didn’t start your business to feel like you’re running on fumes. And yet, too many brilliant women find themselves dreading client calls they used to love, constantly doubting themselves, and fantasizing about quitting - not because they don’t care, but because they’ve built a business that’s breaking them.

Gill shares:

• The subtle signs of burnout that might be creeping in

• Why it’s not your fault if your business feels unsustainable

• The truth about performative success in the online world

• Six core foundations that will help you build a business that supports you (instead of sucking the life out of you)

This is a must-listen if you’re feeling stretched too thin, over-functioning but under-supported, or just plain tired of pretending everything’s fine. There’s another way, and it starts here.

This week, I’m flipping the script on something that keeps so many brilliant coaches stuck...

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether people will pay your rates…
If you’ve felt invisible in a sea of coaches who “do what you do”…
If you’ve been trying to sell the process of coaching instead of the transformation...

This episode is for you.

Here’s the truth: coaching isn’t the offer - you are.

It’s not your 6-step framework, or the number of sessions you offer, or whether you use Voxer or Zoom. Your ideal clients aren’t lying awake at night dreaming of a “12-week container.” They’re craving change. And what they’re looking for isn’t coaching - it’s you.

In this episode, I’m getting into:

Why positioning yourself as “just another coach” is doing you (and your clients) a massive disservice.

How to stop hiding behind polished-sounding offers and start showing up as the deeply powerful guide you really are.

What makes you the most magnetic part of your business, and how to own it fully.

Why content that’s real always outperforms content that’s performative.

What shifts when your sales conversations move from explaining to aligning.

I’m also sharing something that might sting a little, but I’m saying it with love:

If your offers aren’t landing, it might be because you’ve hidden yourself inside them.

You don’t need to become a more professional version of yourself.
You need to become a more honest one.

The more of you you’re willing to bring into your work, the more your message will resonate. Your ideal clients are already looking for you... let’s make sure they can find you.

In this honest, behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the 7 big things I wish I’d done from day one — and why they matter so much if you're trying to build a sustainable, thriving coaching practice in today’s crowded online world.

This one’s for you if you’re at the beginning of your journey or you’re a few years in but know you’re ready for a reset.

I cover:

• The myth that being a great coach is enough to grow a successful business (spoiler: it’s not)
• Why "niching down" doesn't have to mean "boxing yourself in"
• What I wish I’d known about personal brand from the start
• The mistake I made when it came to selling… and how I do it now
• The #1 thing I’d do before creating any offers
• Why one great coaching offer trumps ten mediocre ones
• The essential shift in mindset that helped me finally raise my prices
