Melinda Jackson is back by popular demand! In this episode, they are spilling the tea on a recent cringe-worthy dinner they paid to be at that turned into a high pressure coaching sales presentation. From this dinner, Melinda is highlighting some of the most classic manipulative and unethical tactics that plague not only events like this but our very own coaching industry! Basically, this is another "what NOT to do" episode.

My First 6-Figure Year: BTS

Join me as I pull back the curtain of my first 6-figure sales year as a coaching and speaking business. This is a no nonsense, no fluff, very transparent and vulnerable look at:

• The numbers- how much I actually received in cash (not sales), what my expenses looked like and how much net profit was actually left
• Taxes, exchange rates and other barriers Canadian businesses face when operating internationally 
• The first high ticket mentorship I've NOT regretted 
• What worked well?
• What didn't work?
• How I can streamline for next year
• How I can increase profit margins 

This is a tender share but I hope it will help you feel more encouraged and tuned into what *actually* goes into generating a profitable coaching business.

Hello From My Rest & Reciprocity Era

Hello From My Rest & Reciprocity Era! I am back from an unintentional 2 month podcast hiatus and feeling clarity, creativity and reciprocity. If you need permission to continue embracing winter and going into hermit mode - this is for you. Though you're more than likely to roll your eyes at my version of hermit mode: taking a 200 hour yoga teacher training, writing a book and working a full time job! But for me and my #ADHD stimulation needing brain, this is me "coasting". The yoga is truly just for me right now and is honestly changing my life. I'll share more soon, but for now I am happily in full student mode.

Coaching Industry Rants & Chats with Melinda Jackson

Ya know that feeling when you meet a #BizBestie and you just GET each other? That's me and my "cuz" Melinda Jackson. We both have plenty of experience in the coaching industry, both as clients and as imperfect leaders. Myself as an Indigenous, disabled, neuro-spicy woman. Melinda as a Black, nonbinary, Queer, neuro-spicy person. We have thoughts on some of the practices in the industry, such as...

• The "invisible offer" trend that we find alarming
• The hyper binary "feminine energy" spaces
• The word salad and fluff I've paid thousands for
• "Celebrity" coaches and culty vibes
• How do these millionaires sleep at night...or do they?
• The crumbling of colonial, toxic coaching 

And so much more, including our own "cringey eras" and how we've evolved from them and continue to be ever-evolving and learning. The audio is wonky, the conversation is unplanned and a bit all over the place, and this is totally unfiltered - but we hope you enjoy it. Let us know!

Tag me @emilyannebrant and Melinda @getcalled in on Instagram once you listen and let us know if you'd like to see this turn into a regular podcast.

A Soothing Balm for Weary Souls: Your Ripple Effect Matters

Dear beautiful caring, compassionate, empathic human. I know you're tired. I know the state of the world is often frightening, and even enraging at times. I know it's overwhelming when you're a change maker and feel like the entire world needs your help but you're just one person! If that's you - consider this your soothing balm "pep talk" (this is as peppy as I get lol). 

I'm here to remind you and shout from the rooftops that your ripple effect matters. Tend to what's right in front of you, take breaks, then keep going. You are making such a huge impact and the world is better because of you.

What Cancelling A Program Taught Me

Inhale: I'm worthy of ease. Exhale: I choose simplicity. Consider this your official permission slip to choose easy and protect your energy like it's your most precious resource - because it kinda is. These are my lessons from cancelling a program and all of the spaciousness and insight that has come with it.
