Ren: Behind the Practice

A behind-the-scenes conversation about what happens when you’ve invested in marketing, visibility, and business programs — but still aren’t sure whether the business itself is going to work.In this episode, I’m joined by Juli Miezejeski, a certified professional coach and author of Stuck, Unstuck, Unstoppable, who works with high-achieving women ready to stop performing the life they built and create one they actually want.What we explored:• How Juli’s niche evolved from her own experience in corporate America• Investing in marketing program after marketing program without finding a clear path• Why visibility currently feels like the missing piece in her business• The uncertainty of whether the business side will actually work• Deciding whether to invest in the next strategy — or finally stop searchingSometimes the problem isn’t that you haven’t tried enough things. It’s that trying more things still hasn’t shown you how to build the business underneath them.Juli's links:→ Website: https://www.lifecoachingwithjuli.com → LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/lifecoachingwithjulijulia-miezejeski-mba-cpc-5011821→ Book: https://a.co/d/0f9adVKxSophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍

A behind-the-scenes conversation about what happens when years of experience, courses, strategies, and possible directions leave you with more options — but not necessarily more clarity about what to build.In this episode, I’m joined by Kim Petersen, an author, therapist, and business coach who is bringing together her background in therapy and online entrepreneurship to support women entrepreneurs who feel stuck despite knowing many of the things they’re “supposed” to do.What we explored:• Trying to turn years of skills and experience into one cohesive business• How too many strategies can create overwhelm instead of clarity• The difference between collecting tactics and intentionally building a business• Why you only need a starting hypothesis — not the perfect answer• Listening to real people to understand what they actually wantYou don’t need to know exactly what your business will become before you begin. You need a clear enough starting place — and a process for letting real people and real data show you what comes next.Kim's links:→ Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kim-petersen-82b022225/Sophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍

A behind-the-scenes conversation about choosing a business model based on how you actually work best — rather than assuming that moving from one-on-one to group work will automatically make your business more sustainable.In this episode, I’m joined by Kristy-Lea Westgeest, a fine artist and consultant who combines creativity, intuition, and her background in tech to support artists and holistic practitioners in navigating their businesses.What we explored:• Why shifting from one-on-one to group work actually led Kristy-Lea to overgive• Building around the way you naturally support people best• Why one-to-many often works better after demand has already been validated• Using real engagement and client requests as data for what to build next• Following existing demand instead of assuming you need more visibilityA sustainable business model isn’t automatically the one that serves more people at once. Sometimes the better next step is getting clearer about what already works — for you and for the people you serve.Kristy-Lea's links:→ Website: https://www.kristyleawestgeest.com/ → Print Club: https://www.kristyleawestgeest.com/soul-space-sanctuary Sophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍

A behind-the-scenes conversation about what happens when you have years of training, multiple certifications, and a deep ability to help people — but still don’t know how to turn all of it into a business that feels clear and sustainable.In this episode, I’m joined by Crystal Gilbert, a holistic health practitioner who began this path in 2018 and officially started her business in 2021, bringing together training across natural health, coaching, psychology, trauma, and emotional wellness.What we explored:• Moving from an in-person referral-based practice to rebuilding online• Why the “successful” business model she followed eventually led to burnout• The frustration of investing in courses and mentors without finding what actually fits• Why holistic practitioners often need a different building process than copy-and-paste businesses• Translating many skills and certifications into a clear offer, business model, and structureHaving more training doesn’t automatically create more business clarity. Sometimes the real work is learning how to translate everything you know into something your people can understand, trust, and buy — without forcing yourself into someone else’s model.Crystal's links:→ Website: https://www.crystalgilbert.org/ → Substack: crystalwholeness.beautifulmosaicsSophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍

A behind-the-scenes conversation about what happens when years of trying strategies, learning marketing, and staying committed still don’t create the consistency you expected.In this episode, I’m joined by Matalya Onuoha, a human design strategist, mindset coach, and founder of Rewrite Coaching who helps people move beyond fear and other people’s expectations so they can make decisions from what is actually right for them.What we explored:• Why Matalya’s “inconsistency” was often experimentation rather than lack of effort• Moving away from social media after realizing the return didn’t match the energy required• Finding more natural ways to connect through workshops, writing, and conversations• The difference between visibility metrics and business growth• Wanting a clearer timeline for when consistent clients and income will finally arriveYou can work incredibly hard, learn every strategy, and stay committed for years without creating a cohesive business. Sometimes what looks like inconsistency is really the result of trying to discover the right building process through trial and error.Matalya's links:→ Website: https://rewritecoaching.co/→ Social media: @rewrite.coaching→ Free Mini Energetic Blueprint: https://rewritecoaching.co/blueprintSophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍

Sometimes the next layer isn’t another idea — it’s enough structure to turn what you already know into something you can build from intentionally.Sandra's links:→ Website: https://www.coachsandra.ca/ Sophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍

A behind-the-scenes conversation about the cost of building through trial and error — and the desire for a clearer path to consistent clients and sustainable income.In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Hartwell, a Karuna Reiki Master and sound practitioner who helps women calm their nervous systems through energy work.What we explored:• The frustration of inconsistent client flow and unpredictable income• Investing in coaches and platforms without finding the clarity she hoped for• Why knowing the exact next steps still feels uncertain• The high cost of trying to build a business through trial and error• Why a sustainable business is the vehicle that allows the work to reach peoplePassion and devotion can keep you swimming for a while — but eventually, the business needs a structure that can actually carry the work.Amy's links:→ Website: https://artofalignedliving.com/ Sophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍

A behind-the-scenes conversation about staying lean in the early stages of business — and learning to distinguish between what your business may eventually need and what actually matters right now.In this episode, I’m joined by Lydia Maes, a longtime student of Tao wisdom and Tao technologies who helps professional women and entrepreneurs carrying chronic pain, stress, or burnout experience greater peace, renewed hope, and the possibility that life doesn’t have to feel so hard.What we explored:• Why new businesses don’t need all the infrastructure of established ones• Staying focused on what actually matters in your current stage• Letting real demand guide what you build and invest in• Finding a marketing approach that fits you instead of copying someone else’s• Building a clear signature offer before trying to accelerate growthThe things your business will need someday aren’t necessarily the things it needs today.

A conversation about the confidence fractures that can quietly change how you sell, create, and show up in your business—and why taking more action doesn’t necessarily repair them.In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Jakobsen, creator of Business Therapy, who helps high-performing coaches and service providers address the deeper patterns affecting their confidence after a failed launch, difficult client experience, or slow season.What we explored:• How business setbacks quietly change the way we show up• Why taking more action doesn’t resolve an underlying confidence fracture• The difference between confidence and conviction• Using curiosity to turn rejection into useful business data• Why mindset and strategy must work togetherConfidence often depends on evidence that something will work.

A behind-the-scenes conversation about completing your training, beginning to share your work, and realizing that knowing how to help people doesn’t automatically teach you how to build a business.In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Stanton, a hypnotherapist who brings together hypnosis, birth charts, and nervous system regulation to help people clarify what they want and create a life that feels genuinely aligned.What we explored:• Grieving the expectation that certification and posting would automatically bring clients• Borrowing $10,000 to invest in business programs that weren’t the final answer• Why another person’s path to success may not translate to your business• Moving through multiple niches while clarifying the work she wants to build• Searching for consistent leads beyond the social media algorithmCertification can prepare you to do meaningful work.

A behind-the-scenes conversation about why building a successful practice isn't about collecting more certifications, growing a bigger audience, or following someone else's blueprint—it's about staying aligned with who you are while building genuine trust.In this episode, I'm joined by Vickie Poole, a hypnotist, life coach, and hypnosis instructor who helps women identify and release limiting beliefs so they can move forward with greater confidence and clarity. Together we explore the parallels between personal transformation and business building, and why so many practitioners unintentionally drift away from their own strengths while trying to grow.What we explored:• Why adding more certifications doesn't always solve the real problem• The difference between building an audience and finding your ideal clients• How integrity shapes every business decision you make• Why social media influencers and service providers have different business models• Building trust through real conversations instead of chasing visibilityThe strongest businesses aren't built by trying to become someone else.
