What are Small Biz Chats?
Honest conversations about the real work of building a coaching business.
Whether you’re just getting started, navigating a pivot, or growing something aligned with your values – this space is for you.
Join us for a lightly facilitated, peer-powered coaching circle where we talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable, aligned practice. Just real talk with fellow coaches who are figuring it out, too.
Whether you’re:
- New to coaching and trying to find your footing
- Returning to the field after time away
- Mid-pivot and craving connection
- Or just needing space to say out loud what’s really going on…
…you’re welcome here!
What to expect:
- A warm, low-pressure space to show up as you are
- Prompts that spark honest conversation
- Space to share what’s working, what’s hard, and what you’re trying
- Supportive reflection from peers who get it
- Gentle facilitation to keep things grounded and flowing
What you’ll get from joining:
- A peer space for honest, grounded conversations about business building
- Facilitated structure to guide reflection and mutual support
- Tips, tools, and takeaways from fellow coaches at different stages
- Normalization of the challenges that come with entrepreneurship – and encouragement to keep going
- Opportunities to share your own insight or ask for feedback
- A rhythm for returning to your business-building mindset with others who get it
Let’s build honest, collaborative coaching businesses – together.
This Space is Great For:
- Early-stage coaches trying to find their footing
- Coaches pivoting or reinventing their offers
- Anyone looking for community as they build or rebuild
- People tired of polished “success stories” and hungry for the real stuff
