E18. Become the Powerful Coach You Were Called to Be > > > feat. Rhonda Britten
Jul 20, 2021
Are you meant to have more impact as a coach, mentor, or educator?
Here’s the first thing Rhonda says to do if you are ready to get unstuck: Quit affirming that you're stuck.
But do we even know what "stuck" means?
Rhonda tells us that when you're on a journey and you're in a place where you're in the unknown, that's where people think they’re stuck!
But being in the "unknown" is a high spiritual place to be. It’s where you're about to breakthrough. That sounds amazing, right?
This is the kind of fearless living Rhonda does. And it’s what she teaches her coaches to do.
When we aren’t living fearlessly, we question ourselves. We ask:
- How do I have the right to be happy?
- How do I have the right to live a dream?
- How do I have that right?
You might ask yourself those same questions. But here’s the thing (and it’s what Rhonda’s minister told her when she was doubting herself):
"If you got the message, you're ready."
And this is what I want you to ask yourself: Did you get the message? How would you know? The answer is simple.
If you’ve got your soul's intention, if you’ve got your soul's purpose, you’ve got the message.
Here’s a preview of the episode:
[2:12] When you're stuck, the first thing to do is remove the word stuck, just keep believing in yourself.
[2:29] When you're on an unknown path, you are about to breakthrough so quit affirming that you're stuck, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
[7:48] If you got the message then you're ready.
[8:19] If you got your soul purpose you got the message!
[11:03] You must start to be WILLING then everything will start to unfold piece by piece.
[13:33] The life that you lived has ultimately prepared who you are learning to be.
[15:54] You must keep honing your CRAFT and be willing to go deeper into the coaching experience in order to share your gift.
[30:50] To be able to lead others on a journey you must be able to go on your own journey.
But there's another key: It's willingness.
As Rhonda puts it, willingness is the key to moving from a place of “stuck” to freedom.
You must be willing. It's what opens the door and puts your feet inside the door. It allows you to listen, to take action, to start doing things.
When you're willing, things will start unfolding piece by piece. How? Listen to the full podcast episode and learn how Rhonda started trusting that the message that she heard was really for her and how she embraced it.

You don't need external validation in order to be qualified to tend relationships or nurture people. You just have to show up as a human being.
Ultimately, the life that you've lived is what prepared you for who you are to be and who you are learning to be.
Now, I'm going to ask you again, did you get the message?
If you did, I challenge you to listen to it, trust it, embrace it. Be the person you are meant to be.
