from Embodied Society Podcast: Where coaches and experts create 6-figure and 7-figure businesses · host Rebecca Barnheart
Diana Murphy was working 50 hours a week in her business, trying to do it the "right" way, and wondering why it didn't feel like her. She started as a weight loss coach (she even had a podcast called "Weight Loss for CEOs"), evolved into helping corporate executives open fractional businesses, and now works with high-capacity leaders navigating disruptive shifts in their careers and lives.In this episode, Diana shares her 11-year journey and what happened when she finally stopped trying to scale the way everyone said she should and started doing things her way. She reveals:→ How her background with the Gallup organization and StrengthsFinder planted the seed for coaching→ Why she struggled when scaling was taught as the only path to success→ The year she hit $97K and told her coach she "didn't make $100K" (and her coach's response)→ The year she made $60K during her divorce and what happened when she doubled down on loving her clients (every single one renewed)→ Why she no longer makes money goals and focuses on impact energy instead→ Her tagline: "I'm the coach when shift hits the fan" (whether it's the shift you choose or the one that happens to you)→ Why waiting is a false concept and might just be your nervous system trying to feel okay→ How to embody your next level self by picturing your ideal day when everything is workingDiana's approach is refreshingly honest: trust your own evolution, do what lights you up, and stop looking for permission to do things your way. After 11 years, the last 5 have been the most fun because she finally embraced who she actually is.About Diana Murphy: Diana Murphy is an emotional mastery and mindset coach who works with leaders and executives navigating disruptive shifts in their careers and lives.
