Feeling buried in the back end of your coaching business? We sit down with fellow  team membeat the REALIFE Process®  Rachel O’Connell to demystify the essentials: a simple website, a clear lead magnet, and a short email nurture.

A discernment filter: what’s life-giving vs life-draining for you as a coach

REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches
Ep. 358: Falling Back in Love with Ordinary Life, A Sabbatical Reflection a Year Later

This week I go solo to reflect on my 10-week sabbatical and how it reshaped 2025 and even 2026. I share four core lessons, creating rhythms that make rest possible, trusting your team and processes, discerning rather than just deciding, and refusing to journey alone. I open  up about falling back in love with ordinary life on the family farm and the clarity that followed. If you are feeling the tug to pause, this conversation will give you language, courage, and a practical path.

In this episode

  • Why planning from the balcony in October created space for true rest
  • How trusting people, systems, and the Holy Spirit changes your calendar
  • Discernment versus decision making for coaches who like to move fast
  • Why transformation happens in community, not isolation
  • A personal story from the farm that reframed home and calling

  • Do not journey alone, coaches and spiritual directors matter

REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches
Ep. 357: Spirit, Soul, and Body: Building Intentional Rhythms with Julie Loy

This week on Realife Conversations for Christian Coaches, Teresa McCloy and co-host Erica Vinson sit down with REALIFE Process Certified Coach Julie Loy, creator of the HTL (HEALthy Living) Planner. Julie shares how a season of overwhelm and a simple prayer, “Lord, help me,” led to a Spirit-prompted idea for a spirit, soul, and body planner and a thriving community that practices intentional living with Christ at the center. We talk through the power of frameworks, 90-day resets, grace over pressure, and why community and accountability companions make all the difference.


In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

  • Julie’s origin story, from “not born organized” to building sustainable routines through baby steps and grace
  • The moment God prompted her to “create a spirit, soul, and body planner,” and the many iterations since 2019
  • Why a quarterly planner supports real momentum and fresh starts every 90 days
  • How she incorporated the REALIFE Process tools into her planner
  • The Practices of Spirit, Soul, and Body, 
  • Accountability Companions and Walk and Talks
  • Community rhythms,
  • Encouragement for coaches who are birthing a product, tool, or framework, keep vision clear, move with God’s pace, and iterate with faith

REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches
Ep 356: Pricing Your Coaching with Confidence (Part Two)

In Part Two of our pricing mini-series, We get practical about confidence and consistency. If you’ve ever stumbled over your rates, over-explained your packages, or dropped your price in the moment (hello, discount spiral), this conversation is for you. We cover simple ways to practice saying your price, how to pre-frame discovery calls, what to do when an offer doesn’t “go,” and why timing, audience, and availability often matter more than price. You’ll also hear when negotiation makes sense, creative ways to price evenings/weekends, and a healthy rhythm for raising rates as you grow. Leave with one action to strengthen your pricing this quarter—and an invitation to keep the conversation going in our private REALIFE Community.

Quick Podcast Guide

  • Quick recap of Part 1 (mindset + simple pricing math)
  • Say-it-out-loud practice: scripts to make your price feel natural
  • Pre-framing a discovery call so pricing never feels like a “gotcha”
  • Consistency over discounts: become easily referable
  • Negotiate vs. discount: when larger engagements warrant terms
  • Common pitfalls:
  • Staying at the same rate too long
  • Assuming “no” = price (often it’s timing or fit)
  • Selling to a market that can’t use your schedule/format
  • Group vs. 1:1 timing realities (people need dates far in advance)
  • Creative pricing levers: evenings/weekends, intensives, 3-hour blocks
  • ACTION STEP: Identify one concrete move to grow pricing confidence this quarter
  • How to connect + leave a review

REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches
Ep 355: Pricing Your Coaching with Confidence (Part One)

 On today’s episode of Realife Conversations for Christian Coaches, we’re diving into one of the most common (and sometimes uncomfortable) topics for coaches—how to price your coaching with confidence.


This is Part One of a two-part conversation where we will share their real-life experiences and stories about what it looked like to set prices in the early days, how to move from scarcity to abundance, and why aligning your pricing with your faith and your season matters.


You’ll hear about Teresa’s first paid session (with Erica as her very first client!), how the “scarcity vs. abundance” mindset shows up for Christian coaches, and practical frameworks for setting your rate with integrity and peace.


We’re keeping this conversation real and relatable—because pricing isn’t just about numbers, it’s about stewardship, confidence, and consistency in the work God’s called you to do.


This is Part One, and next week we’ll be back with Part Two, where we’ll talk about pitfalls to avoid, undercharging, and how to reset when you’ve outgrown your current model.

  • 19:45 – Practical frameworks: hourly → packages → monthly/retainer (high-level)

Ep. 354: What’s on Your Back Burner? Re-Lighting Dormant Desires

Hey friends—Teresa & Erica welcome our friend Albert  Pellissier , author of What’s On Your Back Burner? Using Dormant Desire to Relight Your Fire. If you’ve ever carried a project, goal, or calling for years (maybe decades!) and it just won’t leave you alone, this one’s for you.


Albert shares a simple but powerful process to surface what’s really been holding you back (spoiler: it’s usually not time or money), and how naming those deeper fears out loud begins to loosen their grip. We talk inner-child narratives, honest awareness, and the courage to take micro-actions that move your calling from the back burner to a gentle, sustainable simmer.

REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches
Ep. 353 Lifelong Learner Series: What The Prosperous Coach Gets Right (and What We Don’t)

Hello friends! Teresa here with my co-host, Erica Vinson. Today we’re kicking off a recurring “Lifelong Learner” series—quick, honest chats about resources shaping us as coaches. First up is a classic in the coaching world: The Prosperous Coach by Steve Chandler & Rich Litvin.


A quick note: at the time of our recording, the book happened to be discounted online—prices change, so check current listings. More importantly, we don’t agree with everything in the book (no book is the Gospel 🙃), but there are some ideas worth wrestling with—especially for Christian coaches who want to serve deeply and also build a sustainable practice.


Here are the 3 big takeaways we unpack together:

  1. Clients are created, not attracted.
  2. You don’t “get” or “attract” clients—you create clients in real conversations. We talk about replacing passive tactics with genuine connection, modeling good coaching presence in everyday life, and letting transformation—not transactions—lead.
  3. Don’t charge for what you do—charge for what’s possible.
  4. Pricing isn’t about hours; it’s about the created future your coaching helps unlock (breakthroughs, clarity, and sustainable practices). We offer language shifts (from “cost” to “investment”) and talk candidly about money mindset as Christian coaches.
  5. Who are you being?
  6. Your presence speaks louder than your pitch. We share stories about congruency, integrity, and letting people experience the power of coaching before you “explain” coaching. In short: let your walk talk.

If you’re sensing it’s time to strengthen your being so your doing flows with clarity and peace, we’d love to journey with you.

  • Join our free community and say hello: therealifeprocess.com


Question for you: What’s one belief about finding clients or pricing your coaching that you want to revisit with God this week?


Scripture to sit with: “Let your light shine before others…” (Matthew 5:16)


Key Moments

  • 00:00 Welcome + the “Lifelong Learner” series
  • 04:40 Why this book and what we do/don’t align with
  • 09:15 Takeaway #1: Clients are created in conversation
  • 18:20 Takeaway #2: Value vs. hours (default vs. created future)
  • 28:10 Takeaway #3: Who are you being? Congruency & presence
  • 36:40 Practical language for investment conversations
  • 42:00 Invitation to next steps & certification

REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches
Ep. 352 - Do I Always Have to Be “On” as a Coach? Stewarding Time, Not Hustle


Do you ever feel like you need to be “on” as a coach 24/7? In this episode of REALIFE Conversation for Christian Coaches, we unpack the myth that constant hustle equals success. We look at what Scripture says about time (hello, Psalm 90:12), name the mindset traps that speed us up, and walk through a practical, grace-filled way to steward your time so your business grows—and your soul can breathe.

We Talk About

The difference between busyness and fruitfulness

  • How comparison and community can unintentionally speed us up
  • Why “constant hustle” is a false belief for Christian coaches
  •  Stewarding time vs. managing time—partnering with God in your business
  • The 4 Time Blocks from the REALIFE Process:
  • Present Blocks (soul care/self-care, time with God, health)
  • People Blocks (life-giving relationships, connection, community)
  • Project Blocks (90-day priorities with real action steps)
  • Prep Blocks (admin/tasks with clear start/stop)
  • Practical guardrails: deciding weekly coaching capacity, pre-deciding booking windows, and noticing signs you’re overworking (sleep, resentment, constant multitasking)
  • Naming your unique voice and choosing aligned ways to be in the marketplace (social presence, teaching, local connections, etc.)
  • A gentle invitation to pause and notice where God is inviting you to steward time differently this week

Scripture + Quotes

Psalm 90:12 — “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

“Busyness is not the same as fruitfulness.”

  • REALIFE Process® Coach Certification (use our tools in your practice): [link in show notes]
  • The Prayer Powered Entrepreneur by Kim Avery

Time Stamps

  • 00:00 – Welcome + why this topic matters
  • 03:10 – Busyness vs. fruitfulness (and how tech keeps us “on”)
  • 08:25 – Comparison, community, and the hustle myth
  • 15:30 – Stewardship > grind: partnering with God in your business
  • 20:45 – Capacity, boundaries, and booking rhythms that fit your life
  • 27:40 – The 4 Time Blocks (Present, People, Project, Prep)
  • 41:10 – Signs you’re overworking—and how to course-correct
  • 47:20 – A permission slip to pause + this week’s reflection

Try This This Week

Ask: “Where is God inviting me to steward my time differently?”

Pick one small, loving change (a Present Block, a People Block, or a tighter coaching window) and live it for seven days.
