In this episode of the Sustainable Coaching Podcast, Marilyn reflects on the lessons, wins, and wake-up calls that shaped her in 2024 and how those experiences are guiding her into 2026 with deeper purpose and alignment. She opens up about the shifts she’s making in her business model, why she’s returning to community-based programs, and how she sees the coaching industry evolving as regulations tighten and expectations rise. Marilyn shares openly about simplifying her systems, refining her offers, and recommitting to the habits and platforms that genuinely support sustainable growth. You’ll also hear her break down the mindset work behind removing what no longer serves you, navigating digital overwhelm, recommitting to authentic leadership, and focusing on long-term impact over online distractions. Marilyn explains which tools and platforms she’s loving right now, what she’s preparing for in 2026, and why coaches must use discernment in an industry full of shiny objects and mixed messages. She closes with a powerful reminder not to be attracted to “the pretty things” or fall into trauma-bonding content online, especially when you’re called to lead with purpose. What habits, wins, and lessons from 2024 should you keep and which ones should you release before entering 2026? How do community-based programs and authentic connections create more sustainable results than fast-scaling strategies? What mindset shifts and business refinements will help you grow with integrity as the coaching industry evolves? Remember to join our free community, where we discuss these strategies in depth.
