Brandy Chase is an ACES coach at Mirasee and the founder of Serenimity, a coaching practice that empowers women to find deeper connections with themselves and others. Often, overcoming shame is a big part of that. Shame is a profound emotion that can really tear us apart and hold us back—if we let it.  

In this episode, Brandy and Melinda speak intimately and candidly about the powerful emotions, particularly shame, that can sometimes stand in our way. This beautifully moving episode is packed with insights and tips all coaches can use, not only to help their clients but to also help themselves.

In this episode we discuss:

• What is the difference between guilt and shame?
• How to recognize shame in yourself and your clients.
• Ways to ground yourself when you feel triggered.
• The importance of a reset after coaching sessions.
• When you might need to refer a client to someone else.
• What can be a benefit of negative emotion?

“Sometimes we’re not going to have good weeks…and sometimes there’s a reason and sometimes there’s not, and it’s all okay.” ”

“I love to work with women and really help them get out of their own way.”
