Where do coaches turn when they face a difficult situation with a client? Quite often, when coaching challenges arise, they reach out to a coach more senior than themselves. That’s the aim of Just Between Coaches — to be that trusted source of guidance for the coaching community. Hosted by Melinda Cohan, coach and creator of The Coaches Console business management system, Just Between Coaches will answer the tough questions that coaches face every day. For example, what can I do if my client is lying? How do I deal with price resistance from prospects and clients? What if I want to fire a coaching client? And what the heck is a feeder course and why should I care? This tactical podcast will provide a deep dive into one coaching topic per episode, which means searching for answers will be a breeze. It will also offer a simple way for listeners to refer other coaches who are grappling with those tough coaching questions. To submit a tough question you’re facing as a coach, put “JBC” in the subject line and send it to podcasts@mirasee.com.

Why Anti-Fragile Coaches Create Lasting Impact (Christian Ray Flores)

Christian Ray Flores unpacks grit, resilience, and antifragility through his remarkable journey from child refugee to international pop star and coach. His actionable strategies to thrive amid unpredictability and harness gratitude will help you reframe suffering into transformative personal growth.

Christian Ray Flores is an American artist, entrepreneur, evangelist, philanthropist, investor, coach, and the co-founder of Third Drive.

In this episode, Melinda and Christian talk about:

  • Definitions and differences between fragility, resilience, and antifragility, citing Nassim Taleb
  • Christian’s personal story illustrating adaptation and antifragility
  • Coaching techniques for helping clients shift from fragility to antifragility, including reframing exercises
  • Role of constructive suffering and intentional growth, avoiding ego-driven martyrdom
  • The importance of finding and anchoring to one’s “why” with daily contemplation
  • Gratitude practices for processing life’s challenges and growth

“The hardship, the obstacles, the unexpected negative surprises are literally making you better and more successful.” — Christian Ray Flores



Guest Bio:


Christian Ray Flores,
co-founder of Third Drive, brings a world of incredible experiences and insights to the table. He was at one time a top-of-the-charts pop singer in Russia and Ukraine. In fact, his song “Our Generation” was utilized by Russian President Boris Yeltsin’s 1996 campaign to mobilize young voters and defeat the Communist Party candidate. Despite his success, however, there was still an emptiness to Christian’s life that eventually led him into a life of faith. Now an Austin-based entrepreneur working in both the profit and non-profit worlds, Christian brings first-hand insights into the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine — as well as bringing his life-strategy insights to clients and followers.

The Profit Myth: Self-Worth vs. Financial Value (Ann Wilson)

Debunking the “Profit Myth,” Ann Wilson reveals how to align money flow in business with personal goals. Discover strategies that prioritize profit, pay yourself first, and separate self-worth from financial value. Gain practical tips and fresh mindsets to achieve financial freedom and empowerment.

Ann Wilson is a global wealth expert, best-selling author, speaker, and financial empowerment activist.

In this episode, Melinda and Ann talk about:

  • The importance of money flow within a business and paying oneself first
  • Financial literacy in coaching and its impact on effectiveness
  • Ann’s journey from debt to financial freedom and the need for financial education
  • Redefining priorities to align financial management with personal dreams
  • Interrupting negative storylines to effect real change in financial habits
  • The significance of self-worth and financial health in coaching
  • Pricing based on value provided versus self-worth
  • The concept of “worthiness” and separating it from monetary concerns
  • Encouraging a shift from revenue focus to determining necessary profit for personal goals
  • Importance of planning for financial freedom through investments and strategic contribution

“Paying myself first meant I had to do a radical shift in what I call being absolutely selflessly selfish.” — Ann Wilson

Guest Bio:

Ann Wilson, known as “The Wealth Chef,” is a best-selling author, speaker, and financial empowerment activist. She believes everyone can experience abundant wealth in their lifetime and have all the money they need to live an unlimited life. That is why she is dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and liberating people to create a positive relationship with money, as well as providing them with simple, actionable, and effective tools to build wealth.

By age 38, Ann achieved her own financial freedom, meaning she can now stop working whenever she chooses and her assets will continue earning her all the money she needs (and more) to live the lifestyle she wants forever. She didn’t have a family inheritance, a business she sold for millions, or a lucky win in the lottery. She simply taught herself to master the key ingredient to live an “unlimited life” — money.

But before that, in her 20s, despite an excellent education and a successful career as a Civil Engineer, she was financially illiterate and drowning in debt. By learning how money really works and taking action, Ann was able to turn her life around.

Currently based in South Africa, Ann is constantly gallivanting around the globe, speaking to audiences, helping people transform their money world, revelling in nature, and pursuing her curiosity about what a wealthy life means in different cultures and to different people. Ann is  living proof that no matter who you are, where you start in life, or what has happened in your past, you too can create financial freedom and live your unlimited life.

Just Between Coaches
Team’s Pick: Co-Creating Breakthroughs (Adam Quiney)

The Mirasee FM podcast team chooses their favorite episode of 2024 to close out the year. In this pick, Melinda talks with executive leadership coach Adam Quiney about his key insights for facilitating breakthroughs, allowing discomfort for growth, and creating tangible results in a co-creative process.

Adam Quiney is an executive leadership coach specializing in working with the “Smartest People in the Room.”

In this episode, Melinda and Adam explore the secrets behind breakthroughs and the difference between transformational and transactional results. They discuss the importance of meeting clients where they are and testing and navigating the limits of their worldviews. Melinda and Adam also delve into the process of breakthroughs and the challenges that arise along the way. The conversation highlights the significance of trusting intuition and making room for spirit in the coaching process — and we learn practical strategies to facilitate breakthroughs and create tangible results.

Key Takeaways:

  • Transformational results require a fundamental shift in the way we show up in our lives, while transactional results are surface-level changes that don't require a fundamental shift.
  • Coaches should meet clients where they are and explore the limits of their worldviews to support them in creating breakthroughs.
  • Breakthroughs often involve a process of discomfort and uncertainty, and coaches should hold space for clients to be in their own process.
  • Creating tangible results and setting measurable goals can support clients in staying on the path of breakthroughs.
  • Coaches should make room for spirit and trust the process of co-creation in facilitating breakthroughs.

Just Between Coaches
Where do coaches turn when they face a difficult situation with a client? Quite often, when coaching challenges arise, they reach out to a coach more senior than themselves. That’s the aim of Just Between Coaches — to be that trusted source of guidance for the coaching community. Hosted by Melinda Cohan, coach and creator of The Coaches Console business management system, Just Between Coaches will answer the tough questions that coaches face every day. For example, what can I do if my client is lying? How do I deal with price resistance from prospects and clients? What if I want to fire a coaching client? And what the heck is a feeder course and why should I care? This tactical podcast will provide a deep dive into one coaching topic per episode, which means searching for answers will be a breeze. It will also offer a simple way for listeners to refer other coaches who are grappling with those tough coaching questions. To submit a tough question you’re facing as a coach, put “JBC” in the subject line and send it to podcasts@mirasee.com.
