LINDSEY BADILLO: HOW I DEFINED MY COACHING NICHE AND AREA OF EXPERTISE, FOUND ALIGNMENT AND FULFILLMENT IN MY WORK, AND LANDED 2 CLIENTS IN JUST 8 WEEKS.

Today I have a special guest on the Punch Drunk Soul Podcast who’s energy I just love, and you’re going to love it to. She’s a new coach who just graduated from my Path to Freedom Coach Accelerator program - Lindsey Badillo.Lindsey is a love & relationship coach who helps women develop more intimacy and connection in their long term relationships and marriages. She recently started working with her first 2 clients this year and is absolutely loving it. 

If you’re curious about the program Lindsey recently graduated from, Path to Freedom, you can check it out at Punchdrunksoul.com/pathtofreedom.

I’m so excited to share her journey with you all because just like many of you - she actually started her coaching journey by listening to this VERY podcast! She found me through Instagram, then checked out my podcast, became hooked and at one point late last year, she set the intention of being a guest coach on the podcast with me!I had no idea that was on her vision board until I actually asked if I could interview her. We both share how crazy it is when life moves so fast! We don’t even realize how it’s always working in our favor until BOOM, one day you have everything you always wanted.I love Lindsey’s story because I relate to it so much. She always felt a deep desire to learn about and help people, which is why she first started out as a psychology major in college, a degree I also considered. Then she switched to teaching - again to HELP people. But when she graduated and started teaching she realized it wasn’t fulfilling her in the way she wanted. It didn’t align with her heart, her soul, and her purpose in the world.In this episode we dive into how she finally came to understand what it means to be in alignment, how she practices BEING in alignment and feeling good, what it’s been like to start coaching her new clients, and how to overcome your fears.We also dive into how she learned coaching was meant for her, how she gained the confidence to become a coach, what it was like to make a significant investment in herself, and she also shares her 4 part recipe for success - and her last ingredient is to just have fun! This is also one of my key ingredients for success!I know you are going to love this podcast, especially if you are curious about coaching but you just don’t think you’re qualified or could really make it a reality. Literally just 3 months ago, Lindsey was just like you. Had never really considered coaching as a true career path, and yet here she is today, confident, coaching 2 new clients and absolutely loving her new found fulfillment. We both agree that it’s through listening to other people’s stories about becoming coaches that helped us take the leap. So I hope Lindsey’s episode inspires you to follow your heart and trust that if we can do it, so can you!
