Episode Synopsis
Ever wondered what it really looks like to go from a corporate career to a thriving soul-led coaching business, without rushing, burning out, or losing yourself along the way?In this deeply reflective and inspiring client feature, I sit down with my longterm client Gena Speakmon, a personal and executive coach who supports people navigating major life and career transitions.Gena and I have been working together since 2021, through multiple rounds of one-to-one coaching, several of my programs, and powerful evolutions of her business and identity. In this conversation, we share the full story of her four-year journey:how she built her coaching business while working full-time, the identity shift that shaped her path, and the grounded confidence that led her to recently hand in her notice to leave corporate life behind.We go beyond strategy and sales, into the spiritual depth, personal evolution, and integrity it takes to grow a truly soul-led business that reflects who you are at your core.Key TakeawaysThe identity shift behind entrepreneurship: Why building a coaching business is less about new skills and more about who you become in the process.Leaving corporate with grace: How Gena designed her transition to feel powerful, intentional, and free of “escape energy.”The truth about duality: How staying in corporate while building her business strengthened her boundaries, deepened her coaching, and removed financial pressure.Embodiment and spiritual integration: How reconnecting to spiritual practices (like walking meditations, journaling, and intuitive self-connection) grounded her in authenticity and service.The power of follow-through: Gena’s number one lesson, honouring commitments to yourself the same way you honour commitments to others.Gena's key advice for anyone who is building and growing their own soul-led coaching business.
