In this short Ask a Coach episode, Trista challenges the idea that clarity and confidence come from precision. Instead, she introduces a powerful concept inspired by the work of Steve Chandler: coaches don’t need a niche—they need a stand.

A stand creates energy. A stand builds trust. A stand gives people a reason to follow you.

This episode is for coaches who are tired of waiting to feel ready and are ready to lead—imperfectly, courageously, and intentionally.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

1. Why trying to nail your niche often keeps you stuck
2. The difference between a niche and a stand—and why a stand matters more
3. How conviction creates confidence (not the other way around)
4. What it really means to lead yourself as a coach
5. How to define what you stand for without overthinking it

Key Takeaways:

1. Confidence is built through commitment and action
2. Emotional resilience is a skill, not a personality trait
3. You don’t need to fix yourself before you move forward
4. Leadership starts when you stop waiting for certainty
5. People follow clarity, not perfection

Quote from the Episode:

“People don’t follow niches. They follow clarity. They follow certainty. They follow someone who is willing to take a stand.”

If this episode resonated, ask yourself one powerful question today:

What do I stand for strongly enough that I’m willing to say it out loud?

And then start there.

Marcy talks about the essential truth of coaching: while coaches can see and present the best versions of their clients, they must practice detachment and trust their clients' timelines and wisdom.

Marcy elaborates on how to inspire clients to believe in their potential and make changes at their own pace, emphasizing the importance of recognizing clients' inherent capabilities and allowing natural growth.

Gail introduces us to the concept of being “scared-sighted” — that wild blend of fear and excitement that hits the moment you step into your new identity as a coach. She explains why this feeling doesn’t mean something’s gone wrong… it means everything is going exactly right.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “My niche isn’t good enough.”
• “I’m unqualified.”
• “I’m behind.”
• “My ideal client won’t find me.”

…then Gail is here to remind you: none of that is true.

It’s just your nervous system trying to keep you safe.

Gail built a six-figure coaching business at 65 after leaving a 20-year accounting career — and today, at 69, she’s proof that identity shifts don’t come from confidence…. they come from courage. She’s living her most powerful chapter and helping women do the same.

Her message for new coaches is simple and extraordinary:

“You can’t mess this up. Your fear isn’t a stop sign. Let those scared thoughts ride in the backseat while you drive.”

This episode is your reminder to trust your desire, trust your excitement, and — above all — don’t stop.

Key Takeaways

• “Scared-sighted” is normal — it’s what growth feels like.
• Your anxious thoughts aren’t instructions; they’re just noise.
• Confidence doesn’t come first — stretching yourself does.
• Every coach you admire started unsure and overthinking too.
• Your lived experience is your qualification.
• Reinvention has no age limit — your next chapter can be your most powerful.

About Gail Keyes-Allen

Gail is a Reinvention Coach who helps women 50+ whose life looks good on paper but whose soul is calling for more. She left a long, successful accounting career at 65, built a six-figure coaching business in her first year, and now dedicates her work to helping women reclaim their power, rewrite the rules, and launch purpose-driven businesses.

At 69, she is living proof that dreams don’t expire — and neither do you.

Serena brings her signature mix of wisdom, humor, and real talk to one of the most important mindset shifts every coach needs to make:

Your clients don’t need you — they choose you.

She dives into why your beliefs about your clients (and yourself) shape everything — your marketing, your offers, your energy, and ultimately, the kind of clients you attract.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why identity is the real foundation of money mindset
• How to stop seeing clients as “broken” and start seeing them as powerful equals
• The energetic difference between needing clients and being chosen by them
• How your thoughts about people — clients, friends, even dates — determine who shows up in your life

Serena’s message is an invitation to shift from scarcity and codependency into trust, empowerment, and self-leadership. Because when you believe your clients are capable, intelligent, powerful humans — that’s exactly who shows up.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to “get it right” or perform during a session, this episode will help you breathe again, reconnect with your calling, and remember why you started coaching in the first place.

In This Episode You’ll Learn

• What it really means to be a conscious coach
• Why true mastery happens outside your sessions
• How to move from performing to presence
• The role of self-work and nervous system regulation in your coaching
• How to trust yourself and your intuition with every client

Her central message emphasizes that the true power in coaching lies not in the methods or tools used, but in the coaches themselves.

By continually coaching, reflecting, and embracing each session, coaches can truly transform lives.

At 50, Nan did something she never thought she could do—she became a bodybuilder! She lost three dress sizes and feels strong, healthy, and happy. She wants to stay fit and live a long life, just like her grandmother, who’s 106 years old!

For over five years, Nan has helped people stop overeating, beat cravings, and reach their goals. She helps them feel proud and in control, no matter what. Nan’s approach is simple, kind, and focuses on changing the way you think. Her clients stop overeating, lose weight, and feel healthier without guilt, shame or strict rules.

Nan lives in Paris with her sweet cat Eva, her husband, and their two kids who speak both French and English. She believes that change can be easy and fun if you have the right mindset and small, healthy habits. When she’s not coaching, she loves to walk around Paris, lift weights, read, and watch The Big Bang Theory with her family. Nan’s goal is to help everyone create a life they love.

Get my private podcast that will help you take your coaching business to the next level: The Confidence Sessions - the Private Podcast.

I’m Trista Guertin, a master certified life coach and I know how overwhelming those early days of building a coaching business can feel. The questions, the doubt, the “am I doing this right?” moments.

So I started this podcast to help.

Each episode, I ask one powerful question to a coach who’s been there — and they answer in just a minute or two.

You’ll hear real stories, honest advice, and game-changing wisdom from coaches who remember exactly what it felt like to be starting out.

No fluff. No filler. Just the good stuff.

Whether you’re in your first month or your first year, Ask a Coach is here to remind you: you’re not alone, you’re doing great, and you’ve got this.
