Jill Young sits down with longtime friend and coach Mari Tautimes for a candid conversation about deep listening, personal growth, and what it really means to trust yourself—both in coaching and in life.Three Takeaways:1. Great coaching is quieter than you thinkAs confidence grows, the need to “perform” or provide answers fades. Powerful coaching comes from listening deeply, asking thoughtful questions, and allowing space for insight to emerge.2. You already have what you needLike a seed contains everything needed to become a tree, the core traits for growth—curiosity, resilience, resourcefulness—are already within you. The work is learning to activate them.3. Trust yourself to show up for yourselfA defining idea from this episode: self-trust is built by consistently showing up. Not perfectly—but honestly, intentionally, and in alignment with what matters most.Meet Mari!Mari Tautimes is a coach, entrepreneur, and author of Keep Going.

In this episode of Coaching Magic with Jill and Becky Fromkes, Jill and Becky explore what it really means to coach the human in front of you. Becky shares how her favorite part of coaching is creating enough safety for people to be fully themselves, especially in hard conversations where fear, judgment, or conflict can make honesty feel risky.The conversation moves into the deeper motivation behind coaching: the desire to relieve suffering. Jill and Becky reflect on how many coaches are driven by their own experiences of struggle and the wish to help others feel lighter, clearer, and more supported. They discuss why people often carry unspoken tension, how that tension builds in organizations, and why speaking with clarity can be an act of kindness.Jill introduces the idea that bureaucratic problems often begin with the wrong people in the wrong seats, while Becky adds that good leadership starts with common ground, curiosity, and shared purpose. Rather than assuming and accusing, she encourages leaders and coaches to inquire, understand, and approach difficult conversations with empathy and skill.The episode also highlights the power of timing, environment, and small details. Becky shares a simple but memorable example of changing the room setup to better support connection, showing how small shifts can create a big sense of belonging. The takeaway is clear: coaching magic often lives in the little things, the human things, and the quiet choices that help people feel seen, heard, and valued.Meet Becky!I am a business coach, teacher, and facilitator working with leadership teams and entrepreneurs toget more of what they want out of their business.

In this episode, Jill Young and executive coach and author Kathy Sullivan dive into the power of coaching tools—from validated assessments to simple visuals like a life wheel—and how they help clients see themselves more clearly and create intentional change. They explore the balance between using established instruments such as DISC, CliftonStrengths, and emotional intelligence assessments, and trusting the coach’s own intuition to create new tools in real time with clients. Together they unpack how data, reflection, and experimentation all serve the same goal: honoring the magic in both coach and client while making change feel doable instead of overwhelming.​The conversation then shifts into Kathy’s book, Moms Eat First: 5 Principles to Prioritize Yourself and Create the Change You Crave, born from her lived experience as a working single mom, a longtime HR and organizational development leader, and a coach who has sat with hundreds of women in leadership. She shares how the five principles emerged during the trenches of the pandemic, why reflection and rediscovering your own dreams matter so much for moms, and how “aims” and following your energy can sometimes be more honest than rigid long‑term goals.​Jill and Kathy also talk candidly about the “second shift,” the invisible “third shift” mental load, and what it really takes to negotiate for what you want at work and at home using emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and courageous conversations. They close with a playful Sweet Ass Affirmations card pull on intuition, using it as a springboard to talk about slowing down, listening to your gut as one important data point, and integrating head, heart, and gut in both life and coaching.​Meet Kathy!Kathy Sullivan is the owner of Talent Principles, an executive coaching and organizational development consultancy where she helps leaders and teams improve performance through people-centered change. Drawing on 20+ years in human resources and organizational change, she brings a grounded, practical lens to emotional intelligence, leadership development, and culture work.​​She is also the author of Moms Eat First: 5 Principles to Prioritize Yourself and Create the Change You Crave, a book that guides moms to step out of autopilot, reflect on what they truly want, and design sustainable change that honors both their families and their own ambitions.

In this episode of Coaching Magic, J!ll Young welcomes creative mischief-maker and co-creator of Sweet Ass Affirmations, Heath Armstrong of Rage Create. Together they explore how intuition, synchronicity, humor, and heart-led action can transform not only our lives, but also our coaching. From seeing the number 22 as a lifelong roadmap to leaving a construction career and building a thriving creative business, Heath shares how he follows “the signs” and turns them into bold, practical moves.​You’ll hear how to use pattern recognition as a form of intuition, why it’s powerful to “follow the woo” but always pair it with the “do,” and how something as simple (and silly) as forced laughter can shift energy for you and your clients. Jill and Heath also dive into leading with the heart in business, enhancing rather than fixing clients, and building a life and company that become a creative palette for service and play.Meet Heath!Show notes introductions simply don't do Heath justice!

In this powerful and honest conversation, Jill welcomes Dr. Aimie—physician, trauma expert, and author of the best selling book,The Biology of Trauma—to explore what trauma really means for coaches. Whether we call it trauma, overwhelm, or stuckness, every human nervous system carries past experiences into the present moment. Which means coaches are always working with trauma—because we’re always working with humans!Dr. Aimie offers a clear and empowering distinction between stress and trauma. Stress grows us. Trauma breaks us. The difference lies in capacity. When a client believes they have the internal resources—energy, support, resilience—to meet a challenge, they’re in growth. When the challenge exceeds their perceived capacity, they cross into overwhelm. Coaches can listen for language shifts: “I’ve got this” signals stress; “This is too much” signals trauma physiology. The gap between demand and capacity? That’s where trauma lives.One of the most powerful concepts introduced is neuroception—the nervous system’s perception of safety and capacity. Our bodies respond not to reality itself, but to our perception of it, shaped by past experiences. This is why two people can face the same situation and have completely different physiological responses. For coaches, this reinforces the importance of tracking nervous system states in real time.Meet Dr. Aimie!Dr. Aimie Apigian, double board-certified physician (Preventive/Addiction Medicine) with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health, revolutionizes trauma healing by revealing how our cells—not just our minds—store trauma. Her book "The Biology of Trauma" (foreword by Gabor Maté) transforms our understanding of how the body experiences and holds trauma. After adopting a child during medical school sparked her journey, she developed an integrative science-based sequence for the healing journey. Through her practitioner training, podcast, YouTube channel, and international speaking, she bridges functional medicine, attachment and trauma therapy, proving that repairing trauma's impact on the mind, body and biology is possible.Show Links!The Biology of Trauma book: https://www.biologyoftrauma.com/bookToolkit Resources: https://www.biologyoftrauma.com/resourcesRage Create, Sweet Ass Affirmations: https://ragecreate.com/products/the-sweet-ass-affirmations-deck-affirmations-to-motivate-your-creative-maniac-mindP.S.

In this fun little bonus “Hunch for Lunch” episode, Jess and Jill dive into a core skill that elevates both coaching and personal growth: the ability to extract value from lived experience. Rather than rushing from one event to the next, they explore how intentional reflection turns ordinary moments into powerful sources of learning, clarity, and forward momentum.Jess and Jill discuss the deeply human drive to evolve and become our best selves — and how coaches play a unique role in helping people see possibilities they might otherwise overlook. Central to this process is creating space: space to pause, revisit experiences, and ask curious questions about what happened, what mattered, and what can be carried forward. They emphasize that insight often doesn’t appear in the moment; it surfaces later, when we slow down enough to notice.P.S. Remember, you are magic!

In this powerful and grounding conversation, J!ll Young and Jen Couldrey explore the shift from performing life to participating in it. Moving beyond the pressure to appear successful, polished, or “put together,” Jen invites listeners to embrace the full spectrum of the human experience — messy, meaningful, joyful, and challenging all at once. She dismantles the myth that there is a point where we finally “arrive” and everything becomes easy.Jen reframes personal growth as an ongoing journey rather than a destination. Instead of striving to eliminate struggle, she encourages acceptance of life’s natural rhythm of ups and downs. When we stop trying to curate a perfect image and start showing up authentically, we gain access to deeper self-trust, resilience, and freedom. Challenges don’t signal failure — they are evidence that we are fully engaged in life.This episode offers a refreshing perspective for anyone exhausted by the pressure to have it all figured out. Jen reminds us that fulfillment doesn’t come from achieving a flawless existence, but from embracing reality as it unfolds. Choosing to show up — rather than show off — allows us to experience life more honestly, more courageously, and ultimately, more joyfully.Meet Jen!I work with founders and leadership teams at a specific point in growth – when hard work has taken the business far, but clarity, structure, and leadership discipline need to catch up.I’ve worked with hundreds of founders and leadership teams navigating this transition. Before becoming an EOS Implementer, I led and launched multiple businesses and non-profits, helped leadership teams translate strategy into execution at Deloitte, and supported founders scaling complex, fast-growing organizations.Across more than 600 meetings and workshops facilitated, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat: when leaders are focused, aligned, and disciplined, businesses move forward. When they’re not, even great teams get stuck.Today, I help entrepreneurial leadership teams strengthen how their business runs using EOS as a practical system for clarity, accountability, and execution. My style is focused, candid, and positive: I ask the hard questions, bring objective perspective, and hold teams to high standards- while building the confidence and momentum needed to consistently achieve desired results.I do my best work with leaders who are ready to get out of the weeds, have honest conversations, and lead with greater discipline and intention.Show Links!Coaching Magic SchoolPositive Intelligence by Shirzad ChamineP.S.

In this candid and deeply relatable conversation, Jill Young sits down with fellow coach and EOS Implementer Kristin Donahue to unpack a question many coaches quietly carry: What if I don’t really have a “thing”? What began as Kristin hesitating to accept a podcast invitation turns into an honest exploration of comparison, self-doubt, and the pressure to be uniquely branded in a crowded world. Together, they reveal how comparison doesn’t just steal joy — it slows progress — and how shifting from scarcity (“I need clients”) to alignment (“I’m looking for people who are looking for me”) opens the door to more authentic growth.As the conversation unfolds, Jill reflects back the subtle qualities she experiences in Kristin — quick insights, grounded presence, encouragement, humor, fresh perspective, and a warm, inviting energy — illustrating that our true differentiators are often innate traits rather than carefully crafted niches. Kristin realizes that not having a conventional “thing” may itself be the thing, and that each coach serves as a uniquely shaped puzzle piece for the clients meant to work with them. The discussion also highlights how difficult — and courageous — it can be to actually receive positive reflections, especially when comparison has been acting as a quiet block.The episode closes with a powerful invitation: first reflect on what you believe you bring, then ask a trusted colleague what they see in you, and finally claim those truths in your own words so they aren’t lost to self-doubt or forgetfulness. Drawing on insights inspired by Fierce Conversations, the hosts challenge listeners to consider, “What are you pretending not to know?” The result is a warm, energizing reminder that you don’t need to become someone else to stand out — your perspective, presence, and lived experience already make you exactly what someone out there is searching for. ✨Meet Kristin!Show Links!-Fierce conversations, Susan Scott-Follow Kristin Donahue Linkedin-Connect with  Kristin at [email protected] immersiveP.S.

In this episode, Jill is joined by career coach Shannon Bowen for a rich conversation about what it really takes to move through change—not just professionally, but personally. Together, they explore the distinction between transition and transformation. A transition might look like a job search, a new role, or a career pivot. Transformation, however, is the deeper internal shift that asks us to rebuild trust with ourselves, reexamine our identity, and learn how to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.At the heart of their conversation is encouragement. Jill and Shannon reflect on how often clients seek coaching not because they lack capability or intelligence, but because they want someone firmly in their corner—someone who can help them regulate emotions, name what’s happening beneath the surface, and remind them of who they are when doubt creeps in. Career transitions can be deeply disruptive, stirring up fear, grief, and imposter syndrome, and coaching becomes a steady place to land when everything feels in motion.They also unpack the importance of understanding what work truly means to a client. A job is rarely just a job—it’s tied to identity, safety, worth, and belonging. Without addressing those deeper layers, even the “right” next move can feel misaligned. Jill and Shannon emphasize that self-trust is essential for navigating these moments well, and that authenticity—especially in interviews and the job search process—is not a liability, but a strength that increases connection and hireability.The conversation expands beyond individual coaching into the broader workplace, highlighting the need for environments rooted in care, humanity, and mutual support. When people feel seen and supported, they don’t just perform better—they transform. Shannon also shares how she thoughtfully integrates AI-generated insights into her coaching practice, using technology as a tool to deepen reflection and enhance, rather than replace, the human connection at the core of coaching.This episode is a reminder that real change isn’t only about what we’re moving toward, but how we’re being supported as we move. Transition may be the catalyst, but transformation is where lasting growth takes hold.Meet Shannon!Shannon Bowen is a career advancement coach, job search strategist, and salary whisperer who coaches professionals on how to ace their job search and step into a higher salary band.

What if coaching invited a little more movement… and a lot more YES?In this episode of the Coaching Magic podcast, Sue Hawkes and I explore the surprising and powerful ways music, dance, and movement can shift energy, deepen connection, and open new pathways in coaching.

Together, they unpack why humor is far more than a personality trait; it’s the doorway to presence, truth, and transformation.Steve shares why showing up “empty” is essential for real connection, how fear often signals an edge worth leaning into, and why the right distinctions can instantly simplify even the most complex human behavior.

Jill and Jennifer share how coaching creates the space for clarity, energy awareness, and meaningful self-reflection—ultimately empowering clients to make better decisions and advocate for what they truly need.If you’ve ever felt like you were waiting for someone else to fix you, this conversation opens the door to a very different path: one where your power returns home.Meet Jennifer!For over 20 years, I thrived in the corporate world—but something was missing. I wanted to make a real impact, helping people feel better, live better, and thrive. So, I took the leap and built my own business in health and wellness.I love it! It’s absolutely my calling!Those first few years were amazing. I’d wake up excited, pour my heart into my work, and fall into bed exhausted—but fulfilled. I felt unstoppable, like I was truly living my purpose.Until the burnout hit.By year five, I was exhausted, struggling to sleep, battling brain fog, and experiencing unexplained tremors. The worst part? I was in the wellness industry. How could I help others when I could barely function?In 2018, I took control. I examined my habits, made intentional changes, and in five months, every symptom was gone.That experience didn’t just change my health—it changed my mission.I don’t want this to happen to you!That’s why I created the Ultimate Blueprint for Optimal Health—a proven system to help you regain energy, clarity, and resilience.Through personalized coaching, we build strong foundations and tailor your path—whether it’s nutrition, sleep, career, exercise, relationships, or hormones.This isn’t just about feeling better.

In this episode, Kristan Bishop and I wander into the heart of coaching magic. We play with big ideas and tiny moments — from what “namaste” really invites us into, to how a simple shift in perspective can change the whole room.We unpack David Rock's SCARF model in that very layered way coaches do, tracing how our brains cling to certainty and how we can lovingly loosen that grip. And yes… we even talk about silence. The powerful kind. The musical kind. The kind that opens up a client’s inner world when we stop filling the air and let the truth land.Fairness shows up. Reflection shows up. Music shows up... because of course it does! It's Kristan Bishop! Aaaaaand we explore how the rise and fall of musical dynamics can translate into the way we hold space as coaches.And then, because the universe has a sense of humor, we end up right where we needed to: the Orca card deck… and the mantra that seems to whisper through the whole conversation: Let go. And let love.Meet Kristan!Throughout my career, I’ve built, led, and supported entrepreneurial companies that were ready to grow, and I’ve learned what it takes to create clarity, accountability, and real traction. My greatest strength is connection: building relationships based on trust, transparency, and results.I take the time to listen, learn, and understand what makes each business and its people unique. With a broad range of business experience and a passion for helping leaders simplify the complex, I use the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to help leadership teams strengthen the Six Key Components of their business so they can run a better business and live a better life.Show Links!Coaching Magic SchoolBrene Brown's new book!!Kripula Yoga InstituteFor their first Coaching Magic debut, the Orca Deck! P.S.

In this episode of Coaching Magic, J!ll Young and Elizabeth Davis walk right into the shift many coaches know well: the move from being the one who drives, directs, and leads to becoming the one who listens, holds, and invites. Elizabeth shares her evolution from CEO to Coach, and how that transition required both humility and a deep reorientation toward connection. Instead of leading the room, she learned to facilitate it. Instead of proving, she learned to pause. Instead of controlling outcomes, she began cultivating presence.Their conversation explores how gentleness is a form of strength, how spaciousness itself can be a strategy, and how the most profound coaching happens when we allow silence to do its work. Elizabeth weaves in her metaphor of leadership as a jigsaw puzzle, not something we assemble for others, but something we help them learn to see and trust in themselves.This episode becomes a reflection on what it means to stay when everything inside you wants to rush ahead. To breathe instead of force. To notice the saboteur not as an enemy, but as a guiding light of potential. It’s a conversation about finding peace inside the process (yours and your client’s) and discovering the magic that connection makes possible.Meet Elizabeth!I am a Certified EOS Implementer at EOS Worldwide, a leading provider of the Entrepreneurial Operating System, a complete set of simple concepts and practical tools that help thousands of entrepreneurs get what they want from their businesses. I have five years of experience in delivering EOS implementation services to growth-oriented companies in various industries, helping them clarify their vision, build healthy leadership teams, and gain traction through clear accountability.As a passionate teacher, facilitator, and coach, I leverage my diverse business and non-profit background to empower my clients to achieve increased results and personal growth.

What happens when the life you built starts asking you to become more?In this raw and soul-stretching episode, Jill Young sits down with Kelly Clements to explore what it means to coach, much less live, through seasons of personal upheaval and deep transformation. Together, they dive into the balance of masculine and feminine energy, the truth that emerges from crisis, and how our most challenging moments can become powerful turning points in our coaching and relationships.Kelly opens up about her own journey from contentment to convergence - where purpose, truth, and love finally align. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that growth isn’t about perfect goal setting or manicured research… it’s about staying grounded, open, and willing to walk through the messy middle with heart.✨Meet Kelly!Since 2004, I’ve helped entrepreneurial couples grow together—not apart—by showing them how to align their ambitions with intimacy, communication, and emotional connection.My journey into this work began as an advisor with Dan Sullivan and Strategic Coach, then as a certified Dream Manager facilitator, and next as a Lifebook leader. Over time, I saw a pattern: the more successful a client became in business, the more tension quietly brewed at home. They were winning in one area—but silently losing in another.That realization sparked my mission: to support both the entrepreneur and their spouse in building a partnership that thrives alongside their business. Through my proprietary frameworks—including the Alpha, Beta, Omega Model™ and the Six Presence Principles™—I help couples scale sustainably and stay connected.Clients come to me when they feel like they're nearing a decision point: it's either the business, or the marriage. I help design the harmony for both to equally thrive. You can expect to find clarity, confidence, and connection again—not just in you relationship, but in your overall life vision.If you’re an ambitious entrepreneur tired of feeling like roommates let’s talk. Or if you're married to an ambitions entrepreneur tired of feeling like an employee, I'd love to connect with you as well. ✨Show Links!Follow Kelly on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyclements/Learn more about Kelly: https://www.kellyclements.com/Learn more about Strategic Coach: https://www.strategiccoach.com/Buy a Sweet Ass Affirmations card deck: https://ragecreate.com/products/the-sweet-ass-affirmations-deck-affirmations-to-motivate-your-creative-maniac-mind?srsltid=AfmBOorw1x0lrnNhLsprNonHNAV5YJCpVpL8wt_8p3n536VMyOosl9FEGet a copy of the Power of Systems: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Systems-Create-Life-Works/dp/1600252052P.S.

What if the secret to growth wasn’t doing more…but pressing pause?In this episode, J!ll Young and Mary Reilly-Magee explore the magic that happens when we create space—for rest, reflection, and simply being present.You’ll discover:🌙 Why high achievers need stillness just as much as strategy🌙 How intentional pauses can unlock big “aha!” moments🌙 The surprising power of presence in coaching (and in life)This conversation is a gentle reminder that slowing down isn’t falling behind—it’s where transformation takes root.Meet Mary!Mary’s entrepreneurial nature was established early when in second grade she started going door to door selling the neighbor’s homemade candy for a quarter. After her mom shut down that business, fourth grade Mary founded a lucrative business selling pictures of Charlie’s Angels and smears of Bonnie Bell lip gloss to the boys in her class. Mrs. Moran (teacher), citing consumer protection, put an end to that enterprise when she realized the boys were eating the lip gloss smears off the back of their hands.These early business experiences lead Mary to pursue other interests. Mary holds a B.A. and a M.A. in English Literature and spent 18 years working for Northside Aquatics and Alamo Area Aquatics Association in a multitude of competitive coaching, teaching and leadership positions.Five years into teaching 10th grade English and coaching high school swimming and water polo, Mary decided she could meld her affinity for business, her passion for swimming and her love for people development into one endeavor.Building a learn to swim business from scratch, Mary, with the help of a lot of dedicated people, grew it to three year-round, indoor, stand-alone locations grossing 3.5 million a year and employing 100 people at its peak. In 2018, the 3 schools were sold to award winning Emler Swim Schools.A serial peer advisory board participant, Mary has been a member of The Alternative Board (TAB) since 2009. Her fellow board members awarded her “Most Valuable Member and “Most Interesting Member” five times. As a member of EO (Entrepreneur’s Organization) since 2012, Mary has served her forum as moderator twice and is now the Learning Co-Chair for her San Antonio Chapter.Being able to contribute meaningfully to the world is the reason Mary gets up every day.
