In this episode of the Sustainable Coaching Podcast, Marilyn West shares the raw truth behind what it really takes to grow a coaching business that lasts. She opens up about her decision to take messy, uncomfortable action by going back to school for a second master's in mental health counseling, all while running a full coaching practice. If you've ever found yourself stuck in perfectionism, comparing your progress to others, or waiting for the "right time" to launch, this episode will speak directly to your journey. But Marilyn doesn’t stop there, she goes deeper. She reveals how emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and doing your own inner work are critical to becoming a coach who truly creates transformation. Whether you're just starting your coaching business or looking to elevate your impact, this episode will challenge you to lead from a place of both strategy and soul. In this episode, you'll learn: What would happen if you believed messy action was more powerful than perfect inaction? How are your unhealed emotional triggers showing up in the way you coach or lead? Can you truly hold space for transformation if you haven’t done the inner work yourself?
