What are Small Biz Chats?

Honest conversations about the real work of building a coaching business.

Whether you’re just getting started, navigating a pivot, or growing something aligned with your values – this space is for you.

Join us for a lightly facilitated, peer-powered coaching circle where we talk about what it really takes to build a sustainable, aligned practice. Just real talk with fellow coaches who are figuring it out, too.

Whether you're:

• New to coaching and trying to find your footing
• Returning to the field after time away
• Mid-pivot and craving connection
• Or just needing space to say out loud what's really going on…

…you're welcome here!

What to expect:

• A warm, low-pressure space to show up as you are
• Prompts that spark honest conversation
• Space to share what’s working, what’s hard, and what you’re trying
• Supportive reflection from peers who get it
• Gentle facilitation to keep things grounded and flowing

What you’ll get from joining:

• A peer space for honest, grounded conversations about business building
• Facilitated structure to guide reflection and mutual support
• Tips, tools, and takeaways from fellow coaches at different stages
• Normalization of the challenges that come with entrepreneurship – and encouragement to keep going
• Opportunities to share your own insight or ask for feedback
• A rhythm for returning to your business-building mindset with others who get it

Let’s build honest, collaborative coaching businesses – together.

This Space is Great For:

• Early-stage coaches trying to find their footing
• Coaches pivoting or reinventing their offers
• Anyone looking for community as they build or rebuild
• People tired of polished “success stories” and hungry for the real stuff
