Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
In this episode of Connect Inspire Create, I’m joined by Lidia Axe. Coach, strategist, straight-talker, author, and four-time Camino de Santiago pilgrim.Our conversation weaves together business, trust, consistency, and what it really means to move forward without pushing yourself into exhaustion or self-doubt.Lidia shares how walking the Camino reshaped her relationship with focus, simplicity, and inner clarity, and how those same principles show up in her work with coaches who are “doing all the things” yet still struggling to gain traction.We explore the emotional side of building a coaching business, including:Why so many capable coaches resist selling — and what they’re actually afraid ofThe idea that sales is service, not pressureHow clarity (not intensity) creates consistencyWhy niching isn’t about limitation, but self-trustHow accountability can feel supportive rather than harshThis episode is especially for you if you:Want more consistency without burnoutFeel uncomfortable talking about your work or selling your servicesAre craving a gentler, more grounded way to stay focusedKnow you don’t need more effort — just clearer alignmentConsistency doesn’t require intensity.
