    087: Vickie Poole — Finding Your People (Instead of Chasing Followers)

    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. They're built by understanding who you're here to serve, trusting your own strengths, and creating genuine connection along the way.Vickie's links:→ Website: https://theenlightenedpeach.com/ → Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f4inOW5D1GanpzDOj7jSi?si=78d341d3b637479a → Hypnotist Academy: https://theenlightenedpeach.com/#programs → Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/the_enlightened_peach 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/🤍

    084: Tivona Elliott — Why Building the Business Comes Before Growing It

Together we explore what it really feels like to build a mission-driven business when your integrity matters just as much as your growth.What we explored:• Why early momentum often gives way to an unexpected plateau• The challenge of building an intangible offer people can't immediately "see"• How conflicting business advice creates confusion and second-guessing• Why integrity can actually make entrepreneurship more difficult• Building a business that feels aligned instead of relying on sales tactics that don't fitBuilding a practice isn't just about finding better marketing.

    063: Tayleena Gloss — When Deep Expertise Makes Your Messaging Harder

    A behind-the-scenes conversation about one of the most frustrating realities for transformational practitioners: the deeper your work gets, the harder it can become to clearly communicate its value to the people who need it most.In this episode, I’m joined by Tayleena Gloss, founder of Evolution Coaching and a master trainer of NLP, who helps wellness professionals and heart-centered leaders create transformation through mind-body healing and personal growth work.What we explored:• Why deeper expertise can actually make messaging harder, not easier• The difference between selling something familiar vs introducing a less understood modality• How tech overwhelm creates hidden friction for modern solopreneurs• Why funnels and growth strategies only work when aligned with the right audience• The emotional toll of knowing your work helps—but struggling to explain it clearlyWhen practitioners struggle to grow, it’s rarely because their work lacks value. More often, the real challenge is learning how to bridge the gap between transformational expertise and market understanding.Tayleena’s links:→ Website: https://www.educatedevolution.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/🤍

Clarity becomes less about fixing yourself and more about building in the right order.Danie’s links:→ Website: https://thepeaceteacher.com/→ Daily Practice: https://thepeaceteacher.com/dailypractice→ Podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-cosmic-mystic/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/🤍

    039: Amanda Dietrich — Navigating Visibility, Shame, and the Business Side of Healing Work

    A behind-the-scenes conversation about the disconnect between being deeply skilled at your work and struggling to build a business that actually supports it.In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Dietrich, a transformation guide and former counselor who supports people in reclaiming their truth, shedding conditioning, and reconnecting with who they are at their core. What we explored:• The gap between being highly skilled at your work and building a sustainable business• Why marketing, visibility, and client acquisition feel so unclear for many practitioners• The emotional toll of inconsistent income and “one-off” client flow• The shame and stigma around struggling in business within the coaching industry• How past experiences of things not working impact how we show up moving forwardWhen the business side isn’t working, it doesn’t mean the work itself isn’t valuable — but until that gap is addressed, both the practitioner and the people they’re meant to help are impacted.Amanda’s links:→ LinkTree: https://beacons.ai/befiercelivefreeSophie’s links:👁️ Work with me: bio.site/ren.wellbeing👁️ Book a Behind the Practice Podcast Conversation: https://calendly.com/sophiecampise/podcast-interview-ren-behind-the-practice👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/🤍
