26 – From Terrified to Post to Leading a Thriving Online Community

They were terrified to be seen online. Now they're building a brand that's impossible to ignore. In this episode, we sit down with Kristy Cognata and Lauren Staats, two instructional coaches who turned their fear of visibility into a thriving business. When we first met them, even the thought of sharing their names online made them panic. Today? They're confidently posting on LinkedIn, building an engaged community, and launching their first group offer for instructional coaches under their new brand, Lime Lotus. We talk about: ·       What pushed them to leave the system and start something of their own. ·       How they crafted a shared niche that reflects both of their stories. ·       The mindset shifts that helped them move through fear and into bold action. ·       Why LinkedIn became their platform of choice—and what's working. ·       What they wish every educator knew about stepping into entrepreneurship. If you've been hiding behind the scenes, unsure if your voice matters—this one will light a fire in you. 🚨 Want to work directly with Tom & Nat?
