In this Coaching Magic episode, I sit down with the brilliant Jenna Spencer to trace the twists and turns of her personal and professional journey. We laugh about why fun isn’t optional at work (spoiler: it’s essential!), dig into the power of the mind-body connection, and explore how self-discovery can completely transform a leader—and their business.

Jenna opens up about restructuring her business, navigating loss with fresh perspective, and how even the simplest positive affirmations can shift everything. We also geek out a bit on DISC and Kolbe—two of my favorite tools for understanding how people tick—and talk about the ripple effect coaching has not just on individuals, but on whole communities.

This conversation is equal parts wisdom, honesty, and sparkly reminders that growth is beautiful, connection is magic, and we’re all better when we do this work together. ✨

On this episode of the Coaching Magic podcast, I’m joined by my wise and wonderful friend Kristie Clayton for a heart-to-heart about the power of community, connection, and transformation in our work as coaches.

We swap stories about our own coaches (yes, even coaches need coaches!), what it looks like to shift from being the “doer” to truly stepping into the role of coach, and how creating space—real space—can help our clients step into their own growth.

Along the way, you’ll hear about those goosebump-inducing moments when coaching clicks, and how the journey of transformation is never just for our clients… it changes us too.
