160. Building a Coaching Business with Intention with Lauren Ashley
About this episode
Building a coaching business with intention isn’t just about strategy—it’s about honoring who you are, what you value, and the kind of life you want to create. For Lauren, that meant walking away from a path in traditional therapy and choosing to build a business that aligned with her energy, lifestyle, and deeper sense of purpose.
In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I talk with Lauren Ashley about her journey from psychology to coaching, how travel gave her clarity, and why building a coaching business with intention is at the heart of everything she does now. She shares what it looked like to pause, get real with herself, and rebuild a business that feels authentic, easeful, and aligned.
In This Episode, We Explore…
- Lauren’s path from psychology to coaching and how she knew it was time to pivot
- The role travel played in helping her reconnect with herself and her purpose
- Why energetic alignment matters when building a business
- Letting go of what success is “supposed” to look like
- Tips for therapists who are craving more freedom and authenticity in their work
