Ep. 160 – The Gift Of Co-Regulation

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

“Our capacity to hold a space for our clients to feel safe, to transform, to access their innate capacity to heal, to shift perspectives and to open themselves up to a new way of engaging with the world is dependent upon our ability to hold that same space in ourselves, first.”

In this episode, Laura invites us to explore our own ability to regulate our emotions, widen our capacity for intense energy, and respond intentionally and consciously to what’s happening within us during session with our clients.

Through this discussion, we are led through an experience that allows us to pause and scan our personal and professional lives to explore where we feel rises in our energy, and what the sensation feels like when we get activated. Laura shows us that activation is not necessarily a bad thing, and that it can be a tool to help us pay attention to and attune to our environment.

Today, we take some time to be with our emotional and energetic states to better understand them and recognize what’s happening in our bodies, so we can hold the same space for our clients without getting triggered by their emotions or circumstances.

I’m here to be and hold a safe space for coaches to break traditional molds and ascend into a frequency of simplicity and ease. If you desire to begin walking this path, here’s a few ways we can do that together:

Ep. 157 – Are You Allowing “Systems” To Dictate Your Success? | Behind The Scenes

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

This is a clip from one of our monthly coaching calls from inside The Secret Garden. In these hot seat style sessions, Laura answers your questions + guides you through your friction points so you leave feeling deeply aligned with your path, connected to yourself and held by each other.

This month our conversation was based around creation, systems & the rules that we set for ourselves as we move forward in our businesses…and in this clip in particular Laura guides Julia through a question regarding organization-overwhelm and the desire to ‘control’ the experience of her clients through systems.

Laura invites us to consider: “What would happen if you allowed yourself to create connection first? And then, allowed yourself to create systems from that place?”

Ep. 156 – Daring to be Vulnerable: The Role of Empathy + Compassion in Coaching

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

In today’s episode, Laura leads us through a discussion around the challenges we face when working with clients beyond the outcomes they are often expecting when they begin their journey with us.

If you’ve found yourself in a position of feeling hesitant to dive deeper with your people, it’s likely that you’ve experienced the difficulty in measuring and ‘proving’ progress in this type of work.

The truth is, the intangible, heart-centered path is not as easy to sell and requires a lot of patience and compassion from both you and your clients. However, if you feel called to work in this space, it’s important to investigate why you might be sticking to the predictable & tangible path.

The Secret Garden exists to guide you to a place of belief within yourself and your message, even if it takes longer to achieve results. Join us there to experience the magic in being playful and non-judgmental in your growth journey – the only thing you need within you is trust.

Ep. 155 – February Ritual | Activating (+ Trusting) Our Intuitive Energy

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

Welcome to our February Ritual 🌬️

In this session, Laura guides us through a playful, explorative & expansive practice that teaches us how to feel into our intuition while separating the thoughts of our mind from the experience in our bodies. Through a little bit of play, movement, sound + breath, you will be led through an experience to unlock the energy of your innate wisdom.

As you move through this ritual, pay attention to the experience you’re having with yourself. Laura brings us to a place of understanding that sometimes, we abandon what we intuitively know we need to try to get what we mentally ‘think’ that we want.

This months’ practice brings us into a moment of simplicity to recognize what’s showing up within our day-by-day, and what edges exist within us. When we can bring ourselves back and give our intuition a chance to speak first, we can lead from a full, heart-centered place.

For this ritual, Laura recommends this playlist along with a space to stretch out your body, uninterrupted. Let’s lean in 💫

Ep. 154 – How To Set A Price That Matches Your Energy

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

In this episode of EXPAND, Laura is diving into a question that comes up for every coach creating a new program, offer, or experience for their people: “How much should I charge?!”

If you’ve ever felt stuck setting a price for the program you’re creating or coaching services you’re offering…you’re not alone. It often feels like a ‘make or break’ thing -but today, Laura is going to guide us through a new way to think about this exchange.

What if the decision of how much to charge was rooted more heavily on the energetic exchange between you and your client, versus the mental calculation that the coaching industry likes to make you believe is required?

Laura leads us through the idea of energetic calibration, where the money exchanged in a coaching relationship is just a representation of the energetic exchange that’s happening between you and your clients.

She emphasizes and teaches us the importance of separating the mental idea of energy from the physical and emotional sensations, and how to come up with the answer based on the level of intimacy, emotional connection, and time investment you desire in your coaching relationship.

You might want to save this one for later! 🌹

Ep. 152 – The Illusion of Borrowing Success: Finding True Security Within Yourself with Jon McLernon

By EXPAND, The Podcast No Comments

 

Episode Description

In this episode, Laura is joined by an EXPAND favorite, Jon McLernon, to discuss what might really be going on at the deepest of levels when we hire a business mentor.

Together, Jon & Laura tease apart the toxicity that can occur within the coaching industry and come to the conclusion that ultimately, people are looking for a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their businesses, rather than just financial success.

A few highlights of this episode are:

  • The importance of finding a mentor who is willing to form a personal connection with you and not just treat you as a number in their program.
  • The power of checking-in with yourself on how you will grow as a person and recognizing that going through mistakes, learning from them, and shaping yourself to become the person you want to be is an important part of the journey.
  • Recognizing that creating something that matters to you isn’t just about making money, it’s also about how you feel in your business.
  •  Asking the question “Why is this happening for me?” instead of “Why is this happening to me?” and to find the positive takeaways even in difficult experiences.
