If you’re a life coach with a day job and you’ve ever created content on your lunch break, watched a training between meetings, or snuck in a coaching session during “quiet hours”… this one’s for you.
You're not alone — and you're not wrong for wanting more.
In this episode of Build Your Coaching Business Around the 9–5, I unpack the real reasons guilt creeps in when you work on your business during corporate hours — and what to do about it.
From my own cringe-worthy story of accidentally screen-sharing my Canva coaching content to the Nordic C-suite 🫠, to the mindset shifts that changed everything, we’re diving deep into identity, energy, self-concept, and integrity.
Because the problem isn’t just time. It’s what you make it mean.
🔥 In This Episode, You'll Hear:What it really means to “steal time” from your 9–5 — and why it’s not about time at all.
The energetic and identity cost of feeling guilty while building your business.
How to stop treating your business like a saviour from your job — and shift into true power.
The secret to doing both (without burning out or betraying your values).
A personal lesson in corporate professionalism meets Canva slip-up 💻😬
How to change your attitude towards your 9–5 to unlock more energy, joy, and capacity.
What high-integrity business building actually looks like for life coaches in the 9–5.
💬 “You’re acting like you’re not good at your job — and it’s hurting you in both places.”
💬 “It isn’t your business’s job to save you from your 9–5.”
💬 “You’re not working on stolen time. You’re building your future. Make it count.”

Are you unknowingly keeping your next paid client at arm’s length? If you’re still in your 9-5 or recently transitioned to coaching full-time, this episode is a must-listen. Because here’s the truth: most new and aspiring coaches are unconsciously creating obstacles that stop them from signing clients. And until you recognize these blind spots, you’ll stay stuck, wondering why things aren’t clicking.
In this episode, I’m breaking down three powerful ways you might be blocking yourself from your next client—and, more importantly, how to stop. If you’ve ever felt like you’re in your own way, this is for you. But let’s reframe that. Instead of saying, “I’m the problem,” let’s shift to: “I am the way.”
Here’s what we cover:
The identity shift you need to make to step fully into your coaching business (because clients can feel when you’re half in, half out).
The invisible fear of being seen that’s keeping you playing small (even though you feel like you’re doing “all the right things”).
How your unconscious attachment to financial safety is keeping you from going all in on your business—even if you think you’re committed and are even planning to quit the 9to5 or already did!
If you’re tired of watching other coaches book clients while you struggle to gain traction, this episode will help you break through. And don’t worry, this isn’t about “just believe in yourself and clients will come.” We’re diving deep into the subconscious blocks that keep so many coaches stuck—especially if you’re balancing corporate life and your coaching business.
Key Takeaways:
> Your current identity is either repelling or attracting your next client—are you showing up as a full-fledged coach or still playing small?
> Fear of visibility isn’t just about social media—it’s about the stories you tell yourself about what it means to be seen.
> Your attachment to a steady paycheck might be stopping you from fully backing yourself as a business owner.
Listen now and take the first step to unblock your path to consistent clients.
Ready to go deeper? Let’s build your coaching business, together. I work 1:1 with life coaches who are ready to break through these barriers, embody the identity of a full-time coach, and sign clients without second-guessing every move. My six-month coaching container is for those who are committed, ready to take action, and want tailored, strategic support. If that’s you, let’s talk.

In order to have an offer that sells you have to create an offer that sells.
But when your offer isn't selling, and you start to think you need to change something, that's where you get into a wild goose chase, constantly changing your offer, hoping you find the one that works. When really, it was always your responsibility and POWER to create something you can LEARN how to sell.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re so close to that next income milestone but can’t seem to actually hit it—or worse, you’ve hit it before and now can’t sustain it—this episode is for you.
In Episode 2 of Income Unlocked, I’m cutting straight to the core of what’s really going on. And it's not what you think. It’s not your marketing strategy, your offer, or even your consistency. It’s something far more fundamental—your self-concept.
I’m sharing what it really means to shift into the identity of a business owner who expects to make money, sign clients, and operate from a place of personal power. Because here’s the truth: the external results you’re craving won’t stick unless your internal reality matches them.
This is the episode where we get real about:
Why you haven’t reached your next level (even though you’re so ready).How to spot the subtle ways your self-concept might be sabotaging you.The exact shifts required to unlock that next milestone—and hold it.This isn’t just a listen; it’s an activation. It’s your reminder to honor every step of your journey so far while stepping fully into the version of yourself who’s ready to claim what’s next.
