On this episode of the Coaching Magic podcast, I’m joined by my wise and wonderful friend Kristie Clayton for a heart-to-heart about the power of community, connection, and transformation in our work as coaches.

We swap stories about our own coaches (yes, even coaches need coaches!), what it looks like to shift from being the “doer” to truly stepping into the role of coach, and how creating space—real space—can help our clients step into their own growth.

Along the way, you’ll hear about those goosebump-inducing moments when coaching clicks, and how the journey of transformation is never just for our clients… it changes us too.
