  • Kat Knecht – Your Year in Review Ritual for a Soul-Aligned New Year
    Dec 4 2025

    In this episode, Kat kicks off a brand-new visioning series designed to help coaches enter the new year feeling grounded, inspired, and aligned. She shares the origin story of her own “Year in Review” ritual and explains why this reflective practice is essential for creating a meaningful, soul-driven vision. Kat walks listeners through her three-part framework—Highlights, Lowlights, and Insights—and shows how this powerful process clears space, heals old energy, and lays the foundation for a more intentional and inspired year ahead.

    She also reveals practical ways to conduct your own review using calendars, photos, journals, conversations, and rituals. Kat invites the community to join two free Visioning Workshops in December and January and shares how the upcoming 21-Day Challenge helps bring new visions to life.

    Key Takeaways

    • Visioning begins with reflection—to create an inspiring year ahead, you must first acknowledge and integrate the year behind you.
    • Highlights, Lowlights, and Insights is a simple, profound framework for understanding what shaped your year.
    • Lowlights hold gold—compassionate review of challenges and failures reveals growth, wisdom, and new direction.
    • Using calendars, photos, journals, and conversations helps spark memories and deepen insight during the review process.
    • A letting-go ritual clears emotional residue and prepares you to build a fresh, aligned vision for the coming year.

  • [Encore] Kat Knecht – The Money Side of Coaching: How to Price, Profit & Thrive
    Nov 20 2025

    In this encore episode, Kat Knecht shares a powerful story from her book "Evolve Your Coaching Business" that reveals how to make smart money decisions as a coach. Using an unexpected analogy from her early life helping run a fruit-growing business, Kat shows how creativity, curiosity, and a clear niche can turn challenges into thriving success. She breaks down real numbers on what new and experienced coaches can expect to earn, how long it typically takes to build a profitable business, and the mindset shifts that make all the difference.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Your coaching income evolves as your business does — expect growth in stages, not overnight.
    • Finding your niche is the “high-quality fruit” of coaching — it determines your success.
    • Market research and curiosity open doors to opportunity you can’t see from the inside.
    • Treat your coaching practice like a business, not just a service; track income, expenses, and projections.
    • Mindset matters as much as strategy — stress about money blocks creativity and client connection.

  • Kat Knecht – The Coaching Profession Is Booming: What It Means for You
    Nov 6 2025

    In this special panel episode, Kat Knecht gathers three members of her Soul Driven Success community — Ronda Colavito, Todd Karges, and David Baillie — to unpack insights from the 2025 ICF Global Coaching Study. Together, they explore what the data reveals about the coaching industry’s rapid growth, rising professional standards, and evolving business landscape. From global trends to pricing insights and the growing importance of niching, this lively conversation offers practical wisdom for both new and seasoned coaches building thriving, soul-led businesses.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The coaching profession is booming. The ICF study shows record-breaking global growth, with an average 13–15% increase—outpacing even the stock market.
    • Business acumen matters. Coaches are recognizing the need for marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship skills alongside strong coaching credentials.
    • Niching is essential. Successful coaches are narrowing their focus to specific audiences or combining multiple niches (e.g., executive + ADHD coaching) to stand out.
    • Diversified services are rising. Beyond 1:1 coaching, many are expanding into training, facilitation, consulting, and mentoring to serve clients more holistically.
    • Professionalism and tech are shaping the future. Clients increasingly value certification (especially PCC-level) and expect tech-savvy, seamless business systems.
