This week I'm doing something totally new for the pod and recording right on Jessica DeMarchis's couch in her home office (I'm still obsessed with that couch). Jessica is a licensed trauma therapist and certified life coach who runs her own one-on-one coaching practice AND The Art and Skill of Coaching, a trauma-informed company that trains and certifies coaches. Oh, and her podcast is 250 episodes deep, so yeah, she knows what she's doing!

We get into how she went from therapist's office to coaching company, the simple story trick that lets you share your journey online without oversharing, and the mental "shower" she takes after every single client. Plus, she drops a mantra about tough clients that I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about. You're gonna want a notebook for this one!

This week I'm hanging out in downtown Cary with Stephen and Jessica McNulty, the husband-and-wife team behind The Refreshery, a cold pressed juice, cold brew, and matcha spot that's quickly become one of the coziest hangouts downtown. I worked from their shop for an hour before we even hit record and honestly, I didn't want to leave!

We get into why their juice is more Snapple than Suja (in the best way), how a nine-week program and a LOT of spreadsheets turned an idea into a real storefront, and why their six-year-old might be the most creative person on the payroll. Plus Jessica and Stephen share the hard lessons that got them here, and one of them comes with a pretty spicy hot take for anyone thinking about starting a business!

This week I'm sitting down with Cassandra Pickett, a licensed marriage and family therapist and mental health coach for women, who I met at a networking event and immediately knew had to come on the pod. Cassandra's the voice behind Girl, You Good, a short-form podcast for women who are killing it on the outside and drowning a little on the inside, and she also runs group coaching pods where women build real support systems together.

We get into her wild path from double-majoring in dance and psychology, why she pivoted from solo therapy into coaching, a podcast story that made her cry actual tears, and a mindset shift about your first few years in business that I have never heard put better. Fair warning, we also spend a good chunk of time on raw chicken and wet hair.
