It was the end of 2022. I had just had my third 7-figure year. We’d moved into our new home. My son had just turned three.

From the outside, everything looked perfect.

But for someone who was taught her whole life to be responsible—

Figure it out. Hold it together. Don’t let anyone down. Work hard.

What people didn’t see were the 12-hour days. The panic attacks in the middle of the night. Every decision that moved through me. The invoices climbing higher, draining my profits.

Yes—I had a team. But the more my business grew, the more I felt the pressure to prove, hold, carry all of the responsibility on my shoulders.

And then my son got his autism diagnosis.

I had missed the signs. I had missed so much precious time with him.

I built my business to have a life I desired. But my business was blocking me from the life I had.

So I did the thing I had been preaching to my clients for years.

I paused. I literally turned everything off.

I came back to my body. Back to my values. Back to my alignment.

And what I discovered was this: the most valuable thing I had to offer wasn’t found in my doing. It was my presence.

Do you see yourself in this?

When I look around the world today, I feel like women are being called to step up and lead.

And yet my whole life I’ve felt like the only way to have more was to do more, prove more, carry more.

What I’ve found is that the simple, spacious success my soul craves starts with my presence.

Here’s what I want you to do: Grab a pen and paper. Write down all the responsibility you’ve picked up in the past 24 hours alone. All the to-dos that got tossed onto your shoulders that aren’t yours to carry.

And then take that paper and tear it up.

Because your value doesn’t come from your doing.

It comes from your presence.

Always,

Laura

P.S. This is not a journey you have to walk alone.

For the driven, empowered woman who’s created success on everyone else’s terms—I’ve opened up 3 connection calls to explore what changes when you lead from presence instead of performance.

Hi, I’m Laura Wieck.

I help women in leadership redefine the rules of success, expand their influence through presence, and turn everyday conversations into moments that move people.

I believe that the quality of our life is directly connected to the quality of our conversations. And so many women don’t realize that the way they are communicating is creating cycles of proving, holding, carrying, pushing, and taking on things that aren’t theirs.

I’m the founder of Lead with Presence — a mastermind, coach training, and certification for women who are ready to create success on their terms so they can expand their impact and income without doing more.

I’m an ICF Accredited coach and facilitator, author of The BodyMind Method, and mother of an awesomely autistic 6-year-old (almost 7!) boy. I love long walks on the beach. My favorite color is a sunset (you know — when the water is bright blue and the sky is pink). I tell really bad jokes. And I think that being curious is a superpower.

In this episode, Laura sits down with Heather Chauvin — leadership advisor, author of Dying to Be a Good Mother, and host of the Emotionally Uncomfortable podcast (11M+ downloads) — for a conversation about what the body knows long before the mind catches up. Heather shares the story of her stage 4 cancer diagnosis at 28, and why she insists the diagnosis wasn't her wake-up call: motherhood was. She'd spent years living from the neck up — checking boxes, being "so good" — while her body sent signals she didn't yet have the language to hear.

Together, Laura and Heather map out what it actually looks like to build that language: starting with raw sensation before rushing to a label, asking what the energy would say if it had a voice, and recognizing when your fatigue isn't about your workload — it's about the decision you keep refusing to make.

This is a conversation for coaches who want to work below the neck, and for any woman who's tired of outsourcing her own knowing.

What We Cover

Why high performers try to solve everything "from the neck up" — and why it's the feeling (freedom, aliveness, connection) they're actually after

Heather's story: young motherhood as the real awakening, the two months of "something is off" before her stage 4 diagnosis, and the diagnosis as a permission slip — I will not get here again

Why embodiment is action and integration — "and nobody likes that part"

Emotional endurance vs. true burnout: knowing when you're strengthening a muscle and when you're dissociating to get through the day

The four types of energy — mental, physical, emotional, spiritual — and why the physical body is always the messenger

Laura's framework: sensation before label. Not "I'm anxious" — but "there's tightness in my chest, my shoulders are at my ears"

The coaching question: If this energy had a voice, what might it be saying?

Why your body gets exhausted from indecision — and the client who spent two years avoiding the conversation about her marriage

The Laguna Beach photo shoot: visibility, the body's "no more," and what it takes for a coach to hold space for a client's biggest decision

Heather's vision: well-resourced, fully alive women — and getting the adults out of the way so children can thrive

There comes a point in every woman's life, career, or business where doing more won't get you the more you actually want — more spaciousness in your calendar, more ease in your income, more impact and influence. In this episode, Laura shares what happened at her recent Lead with Presence workshop in Denver, where a room full of high-level leaders — women in government, Fortune 500 companies, education, and business — experienced real-time shifts you could see land in their nervous systems.

Laura breaks down the three choices these women made that made transformation possible, why your most valuable leadership asset isn't your expertise, and the moment on the plane ride to Denver that changed how she showed up entirely.

In this episode:

Why doing more, fixing more, and carrying more stops working — especially for women who've already created success

The Lead with Presence workshop and the conscious conversation framework that turns everyday conversations into moments that move people

Laura's honest confession about the pre-workshop stress spiral (and what she heard at 30,000 feet that cut through it)

The three things every woman in that room did before the teaching even began: getting in the arena, staying open and curious, and letting themselves receive

Why receiving is the hardest one for women who are used to doing it all

What a "non-negotiable commitment" actually means: when your inner alignment matches your outer commitment

A shoutout to Carrie Mitchell of Firelight Connections for hosting and bringing together an incredible room of women.

Take action:

Which one is your next step — 1 (get in the arena), 2 (be open and curious), or 3 (let yourself receive)? Leave a comment or send Laura a message and let her know.

Coming soon: A brand new resource on the conscious conversation framework is in its final stages. Keep an eye out.

Ready for deeper support? Laura is inviting a small group of women into a year-long mastermind that includes certification, skill-building, community, and 1:1 coaching. Four spots are already claimed. Reach out if you're interested.

Want Laura to lead a workshop for your people? She's adding more to her calendar — send her a message.

(00:01–02:00) Why "having it all figured out before you start" is BS — and what it means to lead with presence instead of performance

(02:00–06:00) Why doers hit a ceiling: when your nervous system has been wired to equate doing with value, you eventually can't do your way to the next level

(06:00–09:00) The reframe: taking two "opposing" desires and connecting them with and instead of or — and why the goal is to ask the question, not answer it

(09:00–14:00) Getting practical about what spaciousness actually means for you (plus an important caveat for anyone in genuine burnout or adrenal fatigue — that's a different season, and rest is the answer there)

(14:00–16:00) How this exact episode is proof of the concept: recorded from spaciousness, not effort

A line worth sitting with:"You can't do your way to that next level."

Reflect on this:What might it look like for spaciousness and the impact and income you desire to exist together? Don't answer it — just ask it, and see what shows up.

Jameca is a marketing and AI strategist and the founder of Suite101.AI, helping established med spa and salon owners grow with more structure, strategy, and intention. With 15+ years of experience — including luxury brand work with LVMH and Moët Hennessy — she brings a fractional CMO approach to beauty and wellness businesses ready for their next level. Based in Houston and working across the US, Jameca is known for going boots-on-the-ground with her clients and asking the questions nobody else thinks to ask.

Episode Summary

Laura sits down with Jameca Little to talk about the resistance so many beauty and wellness business owners feel toward marketing and AI — and why that resistance often comes from misunderstanding what these tools are actually for. Jameca shares her path from advertising account executive to luxury-brand consultant to founder of Suite101.AI, and breaks down how she helps established beauty businesses go from fragmented, piece-by-piece operations to a cohesive strategy that actually holds them. The conversation moves through AI as a strategic thinking partner (not a content vending machine), the diagnostic process Jameca runs with every client, and why the future of this industry belongs to the people who stay deeply human while using technology responsibly.

In This Episode

[00:00] Welcome & Introduction Laura introduces Jameca and shares why she wanted to bring her into a conversation about the resistance to marketing and AI in the beauty and wellness space.

[~03:00] From Advertising Account Executive to the Big Leagues Jameca's origin story: starting as a creative assistant at an LA agency, working her way up to Director of Account Services, then moving into a consulting group in New York where she worked with brands like LVMH, Moët Hennessy, Anheuser-Busch, L'Oréal, and campaigns with Lady Gaga.

[~05:15] Where AI Entered the Picture How her consulting group began training teams in AI and automation to stay ahead for clients — and how that training became the foundation for what she does now.

[~06:19] The Pivot to Suite101 Budget cuts in the events/hospitality space during a broader shift in consumer habits led Jameca back to her roots — service providers in the beauty industry. The origin of the name "Suite101": service providers working in suites, plus the "101" foundational approach.

[~07:29] Going All In A call in January of this year (the loss of her last consulting client) forced the decision she'd already been praying for: going all-in on Suite101, effective February.

[~08:16] Who She Works With Jameca works with established businesses that already have teams and pieces in place — social, paid ads, SEO — but lack the strategic layer bringing it all together. Her role: the coach, not another player on the field.

[~11:42] The Diagnostic Process — Boots on the Ground Jameca's audit process looks at 6-7 areas of a business holistically. She literally sits at the front desk, shadows calls, and observes client experience firsthand before making recommendations — because a strategist's outside view catches what's invisible from the inside.

[~16:35] Naming the AI Resistance Laura names what she's seen in the industry: a real hesitation toward AI, particularly among women, and asks Jameca how she navigates it with clients.

[~18:08] The Two-Pronged Approach For solopreneurs: starting with foundations and fundamentals — not flyers and logos, but a real content strategy and system, built by feeding AI context about brand, ideal client, and voice so it can help plan campaigns months in advance instead of reactively.

For established businesses: using AI on the analytics and reporting side — churn, retention, lead leakage — to find what's optimized and where opportunity is hiding.

[~20:00] Building a "Strategic GPT" as a 24/7 CMO Jameca's program walks clients through building their own strategic GPT — internal infrastructure and operations support, not client-facing content generation.

[~24:24] Data, Not Drama Using AI to look honestly at the numbers — churn, retention, ad leakage — without losing the personal, relational core of the business.

[~28:00] The Vision Behind Suite101 At 45, starting over after years inside agency safety nets, Jameca talks about the through-line of service and transformation that's shaped every version of her career — and the vision she's building now.

[~34:05] "10X Is Easier Than 2X" Both Laura and Jameca discuss how this concept reshaped their businesses — moving from linear, effortful growth to identifying the small, high-value things that can be amplified or automated.

[~41:44] Advice for the Second Half of the Year Jameca's closing challenge: look honestly at where you are against your goals, use any summer slowdown to shift into the business side of things, and start planning for 2027 now — "stay ready so you don't have to get ready."

Memorable Lines

"We're not talking about creating flyers or logos — it's not a brand, it's automated."

"Data, not drama."

"Those who are prepared don't necessarily have to get ready."

Guest: Jennifer "Nurse Jenny" Schmid, MSN, RN, CNL — registered nurse, traditional naturopath, and women's health advocate, currently completing her nurse practitioner training. She blends clinical care with naturopathy, spirituality, and intuition to support women through perimenopause and menopause.

Episode summary

What if everything you've been told about menopause — the decline, the dread, the pathology slide — is the wrong story entirely? In this conversation, Laura sits down with Nurse Jenny to reframe perimenopause and menopause as a "second bloom": a portal into more power, purpose, and authenticity, not less. They get real about being dismissed by the medical system, learning to partner with your body instead of fighting it, why brain fog might be an invitation rather than a malfunction, and how intuition is a muscle that almost always asks you for the harder, truer choice. Equal parts clinical, spiritual, and refreshingly unfiltered.

What we cover

[~01:47] Jenny's winding path — "original ADHD baby," musician, and a 20s health crash that doctors couldn't explain

[~07:00] Why medicine's siloed, no-one-talks-to-each-other model fails whole humans

[~08:26] "Perimenopause hell": the 2023 that broke her open

[~13:16] The turning point — hearing her body say "Trust me" and choosing partnership over resentment

[~16:40] The central reframe: menopause isn't asking you to become someone else

[~19:34] Brain fog, cortisol, and the question that changes everything: what if it's asking you to lead with your heart?

[~20:40] The "second bloom" and the rose metaphor

[~24:13] Intuition as a muscle — why it usually points to the harder choice

[~26:27] The underrated gift of having "fewer f***s to give"

[~28:35] Laura on radical honesty + coaching to the energy, not the words

[~32:34] Why this season still needs community, sisterhood, and discernment

[~33:30] Menopause is a gift, not a pathology

[~36:51] Jenny's mission: a million women and a "sacred vitality renaissance"

[~44:16] Closing encouragement for anyone who feels gaslit or burned out: don't give up

But somewhere along the way we learned the opposite. That to lead, to be taken seriously, to get paid for our work, we have to have it together. Be poised. Be palatable. Say it the right way so nobody’s uncomfortable and everybody says yes.

That’s performance. And it’s exhausting. It’s the thing that burns us out and quietly convinces us we’re only valuable when we’re polished.

This week’s episode is me making the case for the opposite—and honestly, demonstrating it. I recorded it on a morning that fell apart before it started: a missed alarm, fifteen minutes to get my son to his autism center, an inbox already pulling at me. I was frustrated and I didn’t hide it.

And it was my son James—who is level three autistic, who doesn’t perform anything, who is only ever present—who reflected it right back to me. One word, in the drop-off line: mad. He named what I was feeling before I’d admitted it to myself.

That’s the teaching. Presence doesn’t always wait until you’re calm and composed. It doesn’t require you to be soft and sweet, and it doesn’t require you to armor up and match the system either. It just asks you to be honest about where you are.

The people I work with all have one thing in common: they operate from love. So their presence is always grounded in love—even when it’s raw, even when it’s not perfect, even when they don’t have it all figured out. They trust that the love is present in everything they do. And that’s where the performance drops and the presence gets to lead.

That’s the leadership we need right now. Presence without performance, rooted in love, always.

🎧 If that lands in your core, come listen. This podcast is raw, unfiltered, and real.

Our power is our presence. And it’s time for us to lead.

And then there’s another way — one where your nervous system, your desires, your energy, and your actual humanity are part of the strategy, not inconvenient obstacles to bulldoze through.

That’s why I said yes immediately when Becca Camp invited me to be part of her free virtual summit, Embodied Entrepreneurship. And it’s why I asked her onto the podcast — because about two minutes into talking with her, I knew you needed to hear how this woman thinks.

Becca is a former Silicon Valley product leader turned entrepreneur — founder of Fearless Fems — who helps women build businesses that replace their corporate income without rebuilding all the burnout on the way out. What makes her different is the lens: she treats your nervous system as an instrument of power, not a wellness afterthought.

A few moments from our conversation I keep thinking about:

* She got fired from basically every job she’s ever had — going back to folding jeans at fifteen. Instead of treating that as proof something was wrong with her, she let it be information. (One of my favorite coaching questions came up right here: what’s right about the thing that feels wrong?)

* She coached me — live, on the recording — through my own “I’m a fraud” fear. The quiet worry that the method I built intuitively isn’t “legitimate” because it didn’t begin with a citation. If you’ve ever felt that, this part is for you.

* And we went somewhere much bigger than business tactics: what it actually looks like to build from a value system of interdependence, connection, and consent instead of extraction and coercion.

That’s the question this whole summit keeps circling: what if the quality of your nervous system determines the quality of your business?

This conversation here is just the tip of the iceberg.

Inside Becca’s Embodied Entrepreneur Summit, you’ll hear from 22 entrepreneurs and creatives who are sharing a new vision of entrepreneurship. One that I think we’re all craving.

If you’ve been wanting a more human way to succeed, definitely check it out.

The summit is completely free and runs June 15–19, with interviews delivered directly to your inbox each day.

But somewhere along the way, we started teaching people that they have to understand their bodies before they’re allowed to trust them.

That’s the problem I couldn’t stop thinking about this week.

In this episode, I turned on the mic and followed my own advice — felt my way forward, let it be messy, and said the thing that’s been sitting in my chest. Because the intellectualization of embodiment isn’t just a trend. It’s one of the biggest blocks I see in this industry.

We talk about:

* Why leading with information first reinforces the very disconnection people come to this work to heal

* What actually happens when a client skips sensation and goes straight to the label

* The difference between knowledge supporting felt experience vs. replacing it

* And why “any feeling fully felt is bliss” might be the most important thing I’ve said on this podcast

This one came from a car ride home from Cleveland, a conversation with my very analytical dad, and something that just needed to land.

Go listen. Then come back and tell me what you noticed.

As always, your presence is the gift the world needs. Thank you for being here and exploring this work together.

Her trainings have empowered hundreds of professionals to increase their income, create lasting client transformation, and build practices that support their lives—not the other way around.

Most coaches ask the question. Very few know what they're actually listening for.

In this episode, Laura breaks down what alignment really means — starting with the definition itself — and names the three myths that are keeping coaches and clients stuck.

What you'll hear:

Why alignment is relational, not a destination — and what that changes about how you coach

The difference between ease and easy (and why conflating them is costing your clients)

The three myths: comfort, certainty, and readiness — and what alignment is actually in relationship with

The three-brain model: head, heart, and body — and the neuroscience behind why the body has to be in the coaching conversation

The questions to start asking instead of "does that feel aligned?"

The shift: Alignment is being grounded in truth, connected to purpose, and taking action from willingness — before you feel ready. Your job as a coach is to create the conditions for all three intelligence centers to be in the conversation.

That's what I teach. And that's exactly how this podcast begins.

Episode one is ground level — because before we go anywhere, we need a shared foundation. What is coaching, really? And what does embodiment actually mean?

I share how I got here: a biology degree, a plan to save the coral reefs, and a very unexpected detour into massage therapy. Working with executives and CEOs for years, I could see their stories landing in their bodies — the fascia, the tension, the places I couldn't touch with my hands. That gap is what eventually led me to coaching.

But coaching alone wasn't the answer either. Mindset, action, accountability — powerful. And still missing something.

What I've come to understand after two decades at this intersection is that embodiment isn't just the state you're in. It's the wisdom that comes with it. And when we coach only from the neck up, we're asking clients to think their way to transformation — when the intelligence they need is already in their body, waiting to be accessed.

What we cover: What coaching actually is — and what it isn't Why insight without embodiment rarely creates lasting change The difference between coaching to the body versus coaching through it Why trickle-down mindset has the same problem as trickle-down economics

This week's practice: Don't analyze it. Don't fix it. Just notice it. Notice how your embodied state shifts the awareness, the information, the wisdom that comes forward.

That noticing is where this work begins.Curious to learn more about our embodied coaching framework and if it's a fit for you? Go to https://thenewbodymind.com

It starts on New Year’s Day, 2003. The Bahamas. Flat calm water, perfect blue sky, and a dive site we’d been waiting months to visit.

My best friend Jenny. Our dive instructor Mark. And me.

We had breakfast. We got our gear. And as I walked back to the staff cabin, I felt a sharp pain zing through my ear.

I ignored it.

It came again.

And then — I heard something. Not a voice exactly. More like a knowing, deep in my body:

Don’t go.

Before I could think about it, I turned to Jenny and said, I don’t think I should go.

She hugged me. I watched her walk down to the boat. I watched her and Mark drive out through the channel.

They never surfaced.

We never found them.

What happened next — the survivor’s guilt, the grief I was told not to feel, the hip pain that showed up months later and wouldn’t leave, the massage school class where something finally broke open on the table — that’s all in the replay.

But here’s what I want you to sit with:

My body knew before I did.

It knew before my mind could catch up, before logic could talk me out of it, before the excitement of a perfect New Year’s Day dive could override the signal.

And that moment — that one moment of listening — is why I’m here.

It’s why I stopped being a burnt-out massage therapist working for someone else. Why I started paying attention to what my clients’ bodies were saying that their words couldn’t. Why a Fortune 500 executive once lifted his head out of my face cradle and said, you should be a coach. Why coaching became the thing that pulled all of it together — the mortar, I call it — and why I eventually built BodyMind Coaching into a program that trains coaches around the world.

It all traces back to a zing in my ear and a voice that said don’t go.

If you work with people — if you’re a practitioner, a coach, a healer of any kind — I believe you have a version of this story too. Something that cracked you open. Something that brought you back into your body. And somewhere in that experience, the desire to help others find their way home.

That desire is the work. But desire alone isn’t enough.

If you’re ready to learn what it actually looks like to integrate coaching into what you already do — to stop delivering a service and start facilitating real transformation — the Hybrid Growth Training is where to start.

After 22 years as a massage therapist, her body is breaking down.

Not because she’s not skilled — she’s incredible at what she does. Not because she doesn’t love the work — her clients adore her and have been seeing her for decades. Not because she hasn’t tried everything — she’s explored online programs, hiring other therapists, diversifying her income in every way she could think of.

But no matter what she does, she keeps getting pulled back to the massage table.

And her body can’t take it anymore.

Does that sound familiar?

The Quiet Truth:

If you’ve been in this work for any length of time, you’ve probably felt this too.

Maybe it’s your shoulders. Your back. Your hands. Maybe it’s the emotional weight you carry — the stories held in your clients’ bodies, the grief that lives in their shoulders, the vigilance that never leaves their hips.

We don’t talk about it enough, but this is the conversation happening in private messages, in group chats, in the moments between sessions when practitioners finally admit what they don’t say out loud:

I love this work, but I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing it.

And the advice is always the same: take better care of yourself. Get more bodywork. Adjust your table height. Work fewer hours.

All good advice. All necessary.

But none of it addresses the real problem.

The Real Problem:

The model we’re taught to work in — trading time for money — will always keep you stuck.

Not because you’re not skilled enough. Not because massage doesn’t work. Not because you lack passion for the work.

But because the model ties your physical doing to your income.

Your body becomes your business model.

And when the only way to make a living is to trade your body for income, eventually your body says no.

What Happens When You Try to Break Free:

You try to hire other therapists to carry some of the load — but now you’re managing someone else, trying to fill their schedule when all of your clients still only want to see you.

You’re told to create passive income with an online program — but that takes enormous energy and effort. And when a client texts asking for a Saturday appointment, it’s easier to take that money on the table (literally) than to keep working on a project that feels uncertain.

So those projects get pushed aside. And you go back to what you know.

Back to the table.

The Thing We Overlook:

Here’s what I’ve learned after nearly two decades of working with holistic practitioners:

The best practitioners — the ones who care deeply, who build real relationships with their clients, who bring not just hands-on skill but intuitive guidance, energetic presence, and body-mind expertise — are the ones who struggle the most with this model.

Because you know your work goes beyond the 60-minute session.

You know there’s more healing available for your clients than what fits inside the time you’re charging for.

I remember early in my career, clients would come in and tell me what was going on in their lives. I would listen to their stories and then I would see their shoulders do that thing their shoulders do. I could see someone literally grasping at the stress happening in their life.

And I felt this responsibility to deliver so much within that 60-minute container. My clients would stay an hour longer — before and after — just to talk. They would tell me I was wise, intuitive. They would ask me to tell them what their body was saying.

But I was only charging for the 60 minutes.

And even after going above and beyond, two weeks later they would come back with the same complaint, the same frustration, the same story.

So here I was: going above and beyond, delivering so much more than just an average massage. My clients loved me. But they weren’t fully following through on what was possible for them.

And I was stuck.

What Is So Much Closer Than You Realize:

When I actually did the math on the extra time I was spending with clients — the conversations, the guidance, the resources — I realized I was giving away an average of 30 minutes per client.

I saw about 20 clients a week.

That’s 10 hours for free. Every single week.

At $85 an hour, that was $850 a week. Nearly $40,000 a year I wasn’t charging for.

And when I looked at the actual value I was delivering in that time — the insights, the intuitive guidance, the coaching — it was probably 10 times that.

The problem wasn’t that I needed to do more. The problem was that I had no structure to claim what I was already doing.

The Small Thing That Changes Everything:

There’s a little thing that the best practitioners overlook — and don’t see how valuable it is.

It’s the conversation.

The time you spend talking to your clients. The space you hold for discovery. The guidance you offer. The accountability you provide.

Whether or not you ever call yourself a coach, what you’re doing has a name: it’s coaching.

And when you harness the power of that conversation — when you have a structure and skill set to back it up — you create freedom for yourself and your clients.

You don’t have to create an online course. You don’t have to hire other therapists. You don’t have to add more to your schedule.

You just have to claim what you’re already doing.

Why This Matters Now:

The collective trauma we’ve all experienced over the past decade has impacted our nervous systems. There’s a body-mind impact that the world is collectively feeling right now.

And if you’re a heart-centered, holistic professional who cares deeply about your clients, I believe you’ve been put on this planet at this moment in time to lead.

But if we’re truly going to step into that leadership role, we need a new model — a new way of working that supports all of you.

Not just the 60 minutes you’re delivering a session.

All of you.

Your work needs to hold all of the brilliance you bring into your sessions. It needs to account for your expertise beyond just your modalities. And it needs to allow you to be paid for the full scope of what you do.

The Invitation:

If you’re ready to stop giving away your time and start getting paid for the expertise you already bring to every session, I invite you to join my upcoming CE training: The Hybrid Growth Model.

In this live training, I’ll walk you through:

* How to integrate coaching structure inside your holistic work

* Step-by-step guidance on how to do this and stay inside your scope

* Scripts you can use right now to invite your clients into these sessions and finally get paid for all your time, energy, and expertise

Your body isn’t failing you. The model is.

And there’s another way.

You’re already doing more than what you’re getting paid for.

You’re already coaching. You’re already holding space for transformation. You’re already guiding people through integration.

You’re just not getting paid for it.

And when you only get paid for hands-on time, you have to keep doing more and more of it to survive — until your body can’t take it anymore.

After 22 years, your body shouldn’t have to choose between your work and your wellbeing.

The practitioners who are willing to step into a new way of working — one that values communication, coaching, and integration alongside hands-on skill — will be the ones who redefine what sustainable somatic work looks like.

Not because the old way was wrong.

But because this moment is asking more of us.

And we’re ready to rise to meet it.

The Hidden Income in Your Massage Practice

As we move into a new year, I want to name something I see over and over again with some of the best massage therapists and holistic practitioners I know.

You are far more valuable than your business model allows you to receive.

And there is hidden income sitting inside your practice right now — not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because the most important parts of your work have never been properly accounted for.

What you bring into the room matters

I started my career as a massage therapist because I didn’t want to walk into a spa, be handed a schedule, and work on people without connection.

I wanted to know my clients.

I could feel what was happening in their lives in their tissues.I knew how they were sleeping by how they walked in.I could sense stress, grief, and pressure long before it was spoken.

So I built a private practice that honored that relationship.

But like most practitioners, I was only charging for the time my hands were on someone’s body — even though I spent 15, 20, sometimes 30+ minutes before and after sessions listening, guiding, and helping clients make sense of what their body was communicating.

That wasn’t “extra.”

That was the work.

The cost of not claiming your full value

Here’s the part most people don’t talk about:

When you don’t claim your time, your clients don’t fully value it either.

They pay for a 60-minute massage — which subtly reinforces the idea of“I’m paying you to fix me.”

So they leave the session, pick up their phone, and fall right back into the same patterns.

Not because they don’t care.But because they haven’t invested in participating in their own healing.

Without structure, the most meaningful parts of your session become invisible — and emotionally expensive for you.

When I finally did the math

When I actually tallied:

* my education and certifications

* my personal growth and lived experience

* the time I spent before and after sessions

* the guidance and integration I was offering

I realized I was giving away over 30 minutes per client, every session.

At the time, that worked out to over $40,000 a year I wasn’t receiving for — just in unaccounted time alone.

And that doesn’t even touch the missed opportunity for my clients when they weren’t fully engaged in the deeper transformation available to them.

This is the future of healing

People aren’t just coming to your table for relief.

They’re coming because they’re asking a deeper question —Who am I when my value isn’t based solely on doing?

When you have the skills to intentionally integrate body and mind — what I call a hybrid session — you create a space where clients become collaborators in their healing, not passive recipients.

That’s better for them.And it’s sustainable for you.

Join me January 16 — LIVE CE Training

On January 16, I’m teaching a LIVE Continuing Education training where I’ll walk you step by step through the Hybrid Growth Model — the foundational session structure of the BodyMind Method.

You’ll learn how to:

* structure the full session (not just the treatment)

* get paid for all of your time, energy, and expertise

* stay ethical, clear, and in scope

* scale beyond the treatment table without doing more

Yes — NCBTMB CE credits are included.

If you’re already spending even five extra minutes with clients, this training will show you how to own that time — and receive for the brilliance you’re already bringing.

I get it. And here's what I've learned: A packed schedule was never meant to give you the life you actually want.

And right now, your soul knows that your clients and community need your presence, leadership, and brilliance more than ever.

But how can you show up powerfully when you're running on empty from appointment to appointment?

Let’s be real, you didn't work this hard just to become another burned-out practitioner.

What if I told you that real success isn't about cramming in more clients... but about creating a business that actually gives you your life back?

Just imagine:

✨ Being healthy, wealthy, and thriving instead of constantly drained ✨ Creating transformation without being stuck behind a treatment table all day✨ Money flowing in even when you're hands aren’t actively working on a client

Here's the thing — what you're looking for is so much closer than you realize.

If you're ready to shift from booked solid and burnt out to running a business that actually supports the life you want, watch the free training and claim your Freedom Business Roadmapping Session with my team.

During your session, we’ll help you:✔️ Pinpoint the small shifts that let you serve smarter, not harder.✔️ Uncover the $1,000s hiding in plain sight✔️ Chart out a freedom-based business plan that works for you

It’s time to break the cycle of burnout and claim your healthy, wealthy, thriving business. Claim your session now and we’ll talk soon!

“Laura, how did you go from being a booked-solid massage therapist, capped at $80K… to growing into multi-six figures and beyond—without adding more to your schedule?”

The short answer?I stopped falling into The Advice Trap.

You know the trap I’m talking about…

* The stretches you demo in the hallway

* The meditations you email later

* The 30+ minutes of “extra time” you spend pouring your energy into helping someone…

…only for them to come back with the exact same issue

It feels generous. Loving. Like service.But it’s actually keeping your clients stuck.And it’s keeping you capped.

In this week’s podcast, I’m breaking down the real cost of giving your best work away for free—and what to do instead.

💸 I share how I uncovered $44,000 of unclaimed income hiding in my business (pssst… it’s hiding in your business too!)

💬 Why advice ≠ commitment (and why your clients are stuck in shame because of it)

⚡ And the simple shift that changed everything for me—and for them

🎧 [Press play above to hear the full story.]

Ready to break out of the trap?

I’m hosting a special BodyMind Method© Book Club this month to help you do exactly that.

You’ll get:

📚 A signed copy of The BodyMind Method™💻 A bonus digital course to help you apply it🗓 A live, interactive workshop with me to map it to your business

🎉 All for just $37

This isn’t a passive “read and discuss” book club.It’s hands-on, practical, and designed to help you:

✔ Identify where you’re giving your work away for free✔ Learn how to package your presence and insight into transformational coaching containers✔ Finally get paid for all of the value you bring—without burning out

✨ [Join the Book Club here]You’ll be amazed at what’s already in your hands.

Back then, I thought adding “coaching” to my massage menu—just another line item—would magically open doors to a new way of working. Spoiler: it didn’t. And after a decade of coaching holistic, heart-centered practitioners, I’ve seen the same patterns play out over and over.

If you’re thinking about adding coaching—or wondering why the coaching you’ve tried hasn’t taken off—here are three mistakes I see all the time (and what actually works):

1. Treating Coaching Like Another Modality

Our industry conditions us to think in time slots: 60 minutes of massage, 90 minutes of Reiki, maybe 30 minutes of “add-on coaching.” But coaching isn’t a technique you sprinkle in—it’s a process that helps people transform.

Here’s the truth: your clients don’t want more modalities. They want results. When we sell coaching like another tool, we sound like a contractor bragging about their hammer instead of talking about the beautiful home they can help you build.

The shift: Stop selling coaching time. Start helping your clients see the outcome they crave—and position coaching as the path to get there.

2. Confusing Coaching with Giving Advice

Raise your hand if you’ve ever listened to a client share their struggles, then jumped in with a list of things they should do. (Mine’s up.) It feels like helping, but all it does is fill their head with information they didn’t ask for—often leaving them feeling more stuck than before.

Advice is easy. Coaching is harder—and more powerful. Coaching is about holding a space for someone to see themselves clearly, so they can make choices that are truly aligned. Without consent, advice masquerading as coaching not only misses the mark, it risks taking you out of integrity and out of scope.

The shift: Before you “coach,” ask for permission. Make sure your client knows they’re stepping into a different kind of conversation—one that’s about discovery, not directives.

3. Calling Yourself a Coach Without the Skills or Credentials

This is the one that makes me cringe. Because anyone can call themselves a coach (it’s an unregulated industry), I’ve seen well-meaning practitioners slap “coach” on their website after a successful year, then start telling others to copy their exact path. But coaching isn’t about teaching someone your way. It’s about helping them find theirs.

I’ve also watched what happens when a practitioner steps into real coaching training: their confidence skyrockets, their conversations deepen, and their clients’ lives truly change. That’s why we pursued ICF accreditation for the BodyMind Method®—because great coaching deserves to be held to a higher standard.

The shift: Invest in training that aligns with your work and values. Building your coaching skills will transform not only your clients’ results but your own possibilities—giving you a way to serve beyond the treatment table, sustainably and ethically.

Here’s Why This Matters

Coaching done right isn’t a side hustle or an upsell. It’s a calling. It’s the bridge between the deep healing you already offer and the lasting change your clients crave.

When you learn to hold coaching conversations with skill, integrity, and alignment, you unlock a way of working that nourishes your life instead of draining it.

Which of these mistakes do you see most in your own journey—or in the industry around you? Hit reply or leave a comment. I’d love to hear what’s resonating.

And if you’re ready to explore adding coaching the right way—so you can expand your impact without burning out—let’s talk. My team and I are here to support you.

I used to believe success meant being booked solid—fully scheduled, always working, constantly giving. But the more I chased that vision, the more I realized I wasn’t actually investing in the life I wanted. I was spending—my time, my energy, and my money—on things that kept me stuck.

That’s when everything changed.

Money as Energy and Amplifier

I hear holistic professionals say, “I’m not in it for the money” all the time. And while I understand the sentiment (and have said it myself), my response is always:

"Great, let’s make you a millionaire."

Not because the number itself matters, but because money is energy—it amplifies who you are and what you stand for. And in an industry that perpetuates a story of lack around money, it’s time we rewrite the narrative.

When you recognize that money is energy, money follows intention, and money loves purpose, your relationship with it shifts. How you receive, utilize, and allow money to flow in your life becomes part of your transformation.

So now? My investments are intentional.

This year, I’m investing in things that give me more time, more freedom, more impact, and more income—because every intentional move, no matter how small, creates momentum.

What I’m Investing in This Year

1. Clarity Over Chaos: More Focus, Less Noise

When things feel uncertain, clarity is the best investment. I’m doubling down on:✔ Simplified systems that give me time back✔ Prioritizing energy and well-being (because I am my greatest asset)✔ Refining what already works instead of chasing distractions

Success isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most.

2. Skills & Education: Expansion from the Inside Out

I teach embodiment, which means I have to live it first. The biggest investment I always make in my business is in myself. This year is no different. I’m investing in:✔ Refining my coaching skills✔ Growing my leadership inside my community and beyond✔ Completing my next book

When I invest in myself, the impact ripples out to my clients, my community, and my family.

3. Support & Systems: Freedom Requires Structure

I’ve learned that trying to do everything myself only leads to burnout. The more I simplify and systematize, the more freedom I create. So this year, I’m investing in:✔ A strong team so I can stay in my zone of genius✔ Smart systems that free up time and make growth seamless✔ Mentorship & collaboration because big visions require big conversations

👉 Want a behind-the-scenes look at the system I use to deliver my online programs? Catch the replay of my free workshop (plus limited bonuses) here.

4. Experiences Over Things

This year, I’m prioritizing experiences over stuff.

✔ My son loves trains—so we’re traveling to see historical railroads together. Watching the world through his eyes reminds me why I built this business in the first place.✔ I’m setting up a solo retreat to finish my next book. Because some things deserve space, focus, and full commitment.

When you look back at your life, it’s not the things you’ll remember—it’s the moments.

What I’m NOT Investing In

If it doesn’t align, simplify, or support my bigger vision, it’s a no. This year, I’m saying no to:

🚫 Clutter—physical, mental, or digital. If it doesn’t create space, it’s taking up space.🚫 Shiny objects that promise “quick wins” but don’t actually move the needle.🚫 Overcomplication. If I need five apps to make something work, I don’t need it.🚫 Spending out of fear or uncertainty.🚫 “More for the sake of more.” More clients, more content, more offers—it’s not about quantity. It’s about alignment.🚫 Companies, coaches, and programs that don’t care for the collective whole. My investments reflect my values—if it doesn’t align with integrity, community, and embodied leadership, it’s not for me.

This year is about investing in the life I want to live, not just keeping up with the one I’ve outgrown.

Your Role in Healing Collective Disconnection

If money moves where there’s intention, then we have to ask: Where are we directing our energy?

Right now, people are feeling the weight of everything happening in the world—the uncertainty, the unrest, the energy shifts. They may not be able to name it, but they feel it. And in that uncertainty, many are looking for something real, something grounding, something that helps them reconnect.

That’s where you come in.

Your clients aren’t just booking a session because their back hurts. They’re seeking a sense of alignment—within themselves, their lives, and their choices.

That hour-long massage, that coaching session, that space you hold? It’s not just about relief—it’s about reconnection.A moment where they can breathe, feel present, and experience clarity in a world that thrives on distraction. And how they carry that energy back into their lives? That’s what shifts everything.

But here’s the part most practitioners overlook:

Your ability to create that kind of impact is directly tied to how well you support yourself.

To do this work—to truly lead and hold space for others—you need structure. You need systems that allow you to show up fully, not burned out. You need offers that reflect the depth of transformation you provide. And yes, you need to be willing to receive money for the life-changing work you do.

Because money follows intention.

If you’re clear about the impact you want to make…If you set up structures that allow you to serve at your highest level…If you allow yourself to receive, not just give…

Money becomes a vehicle for change. It moves through you, amplifying your work, your mission, and your ability to lead in ways the world desperately needs.

This isn’t just about making more money. It’s about shifting the way we hold money and allowing it to support the work that matters most.

Because your work matters.

Intentional Moves Create Big Shifts

It doesn’t have to be a huge investment. Sometimes, the smallest intentional decisions create the biggest ripples:

✔ A book that comes with a free course (like this one!)✔ A new system that gives you back hours each day (here’s the one I use)✔ A conversation that shifts everything (my team is ready to help you activate your next level here!)

When you invest with clarity—whether in your time, your business, your well-being—you create momentum. You step out of survival mode and into leadership.

And that leadership is exactly what the world needs right now.

You Are a Gift to This World.

P.S. If you're feeling called to expand your work, serve beyond one-off sessions, and step into a sustainable, aligned, and impactful way of running your holistic business, let’s connect.

BodyMind Coaching helps practitioners like you create coaching-based programs that give you more time, more freedom, and more income—without working harder.

📅 Book a call with my team to explore what’s possible for you

.

This morning, I received an email from someone who is considering BodyMind Coaching. They wrote:

I have been thinking about our chat and moving forward with this program. I am curious as to what kind of tools this program will provide me with. I read over the information you sent, and I’m still unclear about the details of the program. I am looking for new knowledge to move forward in my career… I think possibly what I am looking for is a certification as a holistic practitioner.

And I get it.

It’s hard to describe exactly what The BodyMind Coaching Program is—because it’s so much more than just a certification.

It’s more than a coach training.It’s more than a personal development experience.It’s more than another online business course.

It’s about bringing together all the parts of what it means to be a holistic practitioner, an entrepreneur, and a leader—so you can stop chasing the next thing and finally step into the work you’re here to do.

The Real Reason It Feels Like Something Is Missing

Chances are, you found your way to this corner of the internet because you feel the pull for something more.

You know you’re here to make a deeper impact. You sense that there’s a next level for you—but you can’t quite see it.

So you do what you’ve been taught to do.

🔄 You chase certifications and modalities… but then feel stuck because you don’t have the business structure to make it work.🔄 You sign up for endless business trainings… but the models don’t fit the depth of work you want to do.🔄 You invest years in personal growth… but don’t know how to translate that wisdom into something your clients can receive.

You keep searching.

And yet, the reason it feels like you’re chasing something just beyond your fingertips is exactly why it feels like something is missing.

It’s not about needing more things to do.

It’s about integrating all of who you are into your work—so you can live fiercely aligned, serve at your greatest capacity, and structure your business to work for you.

The BodyMind Method©: Where It All Comes Together

This is why inside of The BodyMind Coaching Program, we teach and help you integrate The BodyMind Method©.

Because thinking that your skills, your business, and your personal growth are separate is part of the problem.

The BodyMind Method© integrates all these parts.

And at the core of this process is The 3-Brain Coaching Model.

📹 Watch the short training above on the 3-Brain Coaching Model to see how this works.

How Transformation Really Happens

Most coaching and personal development models focus only on the mind.

But real, lasting change doesn’t come from trying to “think” your way forward.

It comes from activating the body-mind connection—so that your body, your heart, and your mind are fully aligned.

🧠 The Head Brain → Thinks, measures, and compares—but is not meant to lead.❤️ The Heart Brain → Feels, connects to purpose, and aligns with something bigger.🔥 The Body Brain → Holds intuition, instinct, and the wisdom to move forward.

Most people try to lead with their head, but true alignment happens when the body leads, the heart aligns, and the brain supports.

When you stop forcing and start allowing this connection to come through, everything shifts:✔️ Clients break free from long-standing patterns instead of repeating them.✔️ They follow through and take action instead of getting stuck in overthinking.✔️ You create simpler, deeper, more aligned ways to work and grow.

What You Receive in BodyMind Coaching

BodyMind Coaching is a 6-month, ICF-accredited certification program designed for holistic professionals who are ready to step into a new way of working, leading, and growing.

When you complete the training, you’ll receive:

✔️ The BodyMind Method© Coaching Certification✔️ Everything you need to become an ICF Credentialed Coach✔️ Done-For-You Tools & Resources to use with your clients

But this is more than a certification.

It is a coaching program, a personal development journey, and a business training—all tied together to support you throughout your entire career.

You will learn how to:

* Guide clients through deep transformation using The BodyMind Method©.

* Effectively and ethically coach while staying in scope of practice.

* Create personalized coaching programs that go beyond one-off sessions.

* Structure your business to work for you (instead of draining you).

And most importantly—you will learn how to embody your work as a leader.

This Is About Leadership—Not Just Coaching

I believe that we, as holistic practitioners, are being called to step up in a bigger way.

We are needed as leaders, not just as service providers.

Because healing, coaching, and transformation aren’t just about what happens inside a session.

It’s about how we show up in our businesses, our communities, and our own lives.

And this is why The BodyMind Coaching Program exists.

It’s not about teaching you one more thing to do.

It’s about helping you step into who you are meant to be.

To lead your work.To lead your business.To lead your life.

This Is Your Invitation

What Our Clients Are Saying:

“I hit a point where I lost passion. I was working full time and also in my small, private massage practice. Laura and her programs helped me connect to my alignment so that I could find my passion again, combine ALL my gifts and grow a coaching business that, not only do I love, allowed me to double my income and leave my full time job.”-Dr. Shana Hartman

"Prior to working with Laura, I had taken multiple coaching programs for years trying to build a passive income stream that would allow me more location independence outside of my high-end spa job. It wasn’t until I worked with Laura that my big dreams started to actually become real. She has a brilliant way to help you see your aligned way forward and how simple it gets to be. Thanks to her leadership, I now have a successful online coaching business that supports my love of travel… My home base is now in Ireland and I just got back from spending a year on the road!" -Carly Clark Zimmer

"I first found Laura when I was in the midst of serious burnout in my business... Not only was I a busy massage therapist, I had a full team of employees and a business to run. Although I didn’t know what it could look like, I knew that I wanted something different, something more. Working with Laura helped me see how I was more than what I was doing. She was my stepping stone into creating an aligned business and life. Now, I do a lot less and make a lot more. My days revolve around creativity with rest and self-care as my main business actions. I have more income streams other than just my massage business… I wrote a book, created online coaching courses and have a successful monthly subscription box service." -April Cacciatori

1. A Deep Dive Into Embodied LeadershipWe discuss why the world needs heart-centered, holistic practitioners to step up and lead—not through busyness or fixing, but through embodiment and alignment.

2. The Power of Small ShiftsHear a transformational story of how one client’s journey from pain to empowerment became a ripple effect of change in her life and career—and how her body was guiding her all along.

Questions Covered in the Practice:

What energy are you noticing in your body right now?

Does this energy belong to you, or is it something you’ve picked up from others?

What is the energy that is yours trying to communicate?

How do you want to feel as a leader in this moment?

Episode Summary: In this episode, we explore the pivotal transition holistic practitioners face when expanding their expertise beyond hands-on services.

Key Takeaways:

Focus on Your Unique Brilliance: Avoid comparing yourself to others; instead, lean into what makes your approach special.

Shift to Value-Based Offerings: Move away from trading time for money by designing programs that provide long-term support for clients.

Embrace Sales as an Act of Love: Approach sales as a way to help clients achieve their desired transformation.

Keep Processes Simple and Intentional: Start with your existing expertise and take small, deliberate steps forward.

Value the Power of Connection and Conversation: Recognize that your presence and the conversations you facilitate are transformative.

* You go above and beyond, yet your clients stay stuck in the same patterns?

* There’s something bigger you’re meant to do, but you can’t quite bring it all together?

* You crave a simpler, more sustainable way to work while delivering transformational results?

That feeling? It’s not your imagination. It’s your intuition telling you there’s a better way.

What if the thing you’re missing isn’t about you… but how you’ve been taught to deliver your services?!

Here’s the truth:

* It’s not your fault. Most holistic professionals are working in a system that wasn’t designed for the deep transformation they’re capable of creating.

* You’re not alone. The frustration, the burnout, the sense of “there’s something missing”—it’s a sign that you’re ready to step into your next chapter

“I hit a point where I lost passion. I was working full time and also in my small, private massage practice. Laura and her programs helped me connect to my alignment so that I could find my passion again, combine ALL my gifts and grow a coaching business that, not only do I love, allowed me to double my income and leave my full time job.”-Dr. Shana Hartman

A Smarter Way to Work: The 3 Brain Coaching Model

At the core of the BodyMind Method© is the 3 Brain Coaching Model—a framework that bridges the gap between where your clients are and where they want to be.

This approach aligns the wisdom of the head, heart, and body:

* Head (Clarity): Helping clients create focus and direction.

* Heart (Connection): Aligning actions with purpose and values.

* Body (Action): Grounding change in embodied, sustainable practices.

This framework allows you guide clients to results that stick, without spinning your wheels. It provides a path to reclaim your time and energy so you can truly work smarter, not harder. And it allows you to finally leverage (and get paid for!) all your expertise, not just the session.

The best part, this coaching model can be seamlessly integrated to your current treatments while providing you a path to scale beyond your treatment table.

This isn’t about adding more. It’s about reimagining how you show up, serve, and succeed.

"Prior to working with Laura, I had taken multiple coaching programs for years trying to build a passive income stream that would allow me more location independence outside of my high-end spa job. It wasn’t until I worked with Laura that my big dreams started to actually become real. She has a brilliant way to help you see your aligned way forward and how simple it gets to be. Thanks to her leadership, I now have a successful online coaching business that supports my love of travel… My home base is now in Ireland and I just got back from spending a year on the road!" -Carly Clark Zimmer
