REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches

Hey friend, welcome back to Real Life Conversations from the Porch! This week’s episode came straight from a real moment in my own life — and honestly, I think it might hit a little close to home for you too.I’m coming to you fresh off a beautiful camping weekend with Farmer Dale, and I wanted to share something I’ve been sitting with: the idea that the little things are never really just about the little things.It started with my sock drawer.Yep — you heard that right. My sock drawer had quietly become a mess over the last six to eight months. Socks separated from their pairs, things tossed about, worn-out ones taking up space long past their time. And every time I opened that drawer, something inside me cringed. Maybe you know that feeling. Maybe it’s a drawer in your bathroom, your kitchen, your garage.Here’s what I’ve come to understand: that cringe isn’t you being dramatic. Research tells us that our brains are constantly scanning our environment and registering disorder — even when we’re not consciously aware of it. That low-grade irritation you feel when the mail piles up, the laundry sits in the basket too long, or the friend you’ve been meaning to call keeps getting pushed to the back burner? Those are signals. And they’re trying to get your attention.When the manageable things start slipping, it’s almost always a sign that something bigger is going on underneath.So what do we do with that? We pause. We bring it to the surface. We notice it without shame — because grace is always the way.In this episode, I also share how the 90-Day Reset built into the Real Life Process was made for exactly these moments — and why we need resets in small ways (weekly), medium ways (quarterly), and big ways (annually) to keep our lives from owning us instead of the other way around.And there’s an exciting announcement! This fall, I’m opening up the farm — Farmer Dale’s family farm right here in Southern Illinois — for a very small, very intentional Real Life Living Farm Experience. Think a handful of people, beautiful fall scenery, and real space to breathe and reset. If you want to be the first to know when dates are set, reply with the word FARM wherever you’re finding me, or email me directly at teresa@thereallifeprocess.com.📚 Also: The audiobook for Do What Matters: Live from Rest, Not Rush is now available on Amazon — read in my own voice!In This Episode:• Why the little things are never really about the little things• What your brain is actually doing when it scans a messy environment• The difference between noticing and shaming yourself• How the 90-Day Reset fits into the Real Life Process• Weekly, quarterly, and annual rhythms for staying aligned• A very special farm retreat announcement for this fallMentioned & Links:• 📧 Email Teresa: teresa@thereallifeprocess.com (spell “real life” with one L!)• 🌐 Website: thereallifeprocess.com• 📚 Do What Matters: Live from Rest, Not Rush audiobook — available now on Amazon• 🌾 Reply with FARM to get on the waitlist for the Fall Farm Experience

As we step into a new year, I invite you as a listeners into a quieter kind of beginning.This episode features a prayer I originally wrote on New Year’s Eve of 2023—a prayer I’ve returned to again and again. This prayer isn’t bound to one year. It’s a companion prayer for every season.In this reflective episode, I shares the full prayer and then walk through the heart behind each line—inviting you to consider how planning, presence, stillness, work, and faith can be held with open hands rather than pressure.This conversation is for anyone who wants to begin again gently—without hustle, without fixing, and without urgency—by returning to what matters most.In This Episode, You’ll Hear:Why beginning again doesn’t have to be dramaticHow to plan well while holding your days with open handsThe importance of noticing people in ordinary momentsRethinking stillness as presence, not perfectionHow daily practices shape a grounded, faithful life over timeReflection Question:What might you want to carry into this year as a practice—not a pressure?therealifeprocess.com/resourcesFREE RESOURCES:Take the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

This week on Realife Conversations for Christian Coaches, Teresa McCloy and co-host Erica Vinson sit down with REALIFE Process Certified Coach Julie Loy, creator of the HTL (HEALthy Living) Planner. Julie shares how a season of overwhelm and a simple prayer, “Lord, help me,” led to a Spirit-prompted idea for a spirit, soul, and body planner and a thriving community that practices intentional living with Christ at the center. We talk through the power of frameworks, 90-day resets, grace over pressure, and why community and accountability companions make all the difference.In this conversation, you’ll hear about:Julie’s origin story, from “not born organized” to building sustainable routines through baby steps and graceThe moment God prompted her to “create a spirit, soul, and body planner,” and the many iterations since 2019Why a quarterly planner supports real momentum and fresh starts every 90 daysHow she incorporated the REALIFE Process tools into her plannerThe Practices of Spirit, Soul, and Body, Accountability Companions and Walk and TalksCommunity rhythms,Encouragement for coaches who are birthing a product, tool, or framework, keep vision clear, move with God’s pace, and iterate with faithConnect with Julie Loy:Website:https://htl-planner.com/ Email: hello@htl-planner.comFREE RESOURCES:Take the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

On today’s episode of Realife Conversations for Christian Coaches, we’re diving into one of the most common (and sometimes uncomfortable) topics for coaches—how to price your coaching with confidence.This is Part One of a two-part conversation where we will share their real-life experiences and stories about what it looked like to set prices in the early days, how to move from scarcity to abundance, and why aligning your pricing with your faith and your season matters.You’ll hear about Teresa’s first paid session (with Erica as her very first client!), how the “scarcity vs. abundance” mindset shows up for Christian coaches, and practical frameworks for setting your rate with integrity and peace.We’re keeping this conversation real and relatable—because pricing isn’t just about numbers, it’s about stewardship, confidence, and consistency in the work God’s called you to do.This is Part One, and next week we’ll be back with Part Two, where we’ll talk about pitfalls to avoid, undercharging, and how to reset when you’ve outgrown your current model.Timestamps00:00 – Welcome + why we’re here for real conversations that help you build a sustainable coaching business00:38 – YouTube mention + the October 1st pumpkin pillow moment01:40 – Setting the scene: Q4, looking ahead to 2026, and why pricing is on the table03:05 – Early days stories: first paid sessions and what those initial numbers looked like06:12 – Local pricing cues: learning from other helping professions08:10 – Ideal client alignment: matching your rate to who you actually serve10:25 – Mindset shift intro: scarcity vs. abundance for Christian coaches12:18 – Faith lens: “Everything I need—my Father has it” and practicing stewardship15:02 – Consistency matters: picking a rate for this season and sticking with it17:09 – The generosity question: wise ways to give without undercutting the work19:45 – Practical frameworks: hourly → packages → monthly/retainer (high-level)22:28 – Valuing your training & experience: when raising prices makes sense24:40 – What’s next: tee-up for Part Two (pitfalls, undercharging, and resets)25:30 – How to connect: resources + community at thereallifeprocess.com (one “L”)26:15 – Closing: “Every ordinary day has an extraordinary moment”FREE RESOURCES:Take the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?
