Episode 71: What’s Your Next Phase? (Transcript)

You are listening to episode 71 of the Create What You Crave Podcast. The one where I share some big changes that you’re gonna love!
Hello hello hello!! Oh, it is SO good to be back with you my friends! I’ve missed you! I really have.
Thank you for your emails this summer checking in on me. I feel so loved and that means a lot to me. I am so excited to share all the goodness, the insights, the learning – all of it with you!
I hope that your summer was wonderful and you prioritized yourself and took time away from your job or your business to have fun.
Isn’t that what summer is all about – friends, family and fun! I add one more thing – food.
I ADORE summer because all my favorite fruits are in season and so abundant. I’m a berry girl – blueberries, strawberries, blackberries – love them. Cherries, watermelon, peaches – I just can’t get enough. So good! What’s your fave?
My Next Phase
During my time away from the podcast when I wasn’t eating my weight in fruit, I did a lot of thinking, journaling, dreaming and have made decisions on the kind of business I’m going to be running moving forward.
There is so much I want to say about many topics, so much I want to share and I’m going to take my muzzle off and do just that.
So many women – myself included – are afraid to say what they truly think or feel because they don’t want to be seen as “unprofessional” or labeled a bitch or rock the boat. Funny how men can say pretty much anything and they are told they are confident, in charge or a good leader. What BS!
The Podcast
I’ve created a large list of topics that deal with not only your role as a leader or business owner, but all aspects of your life.
What’s changing?
What’s shifting?
How are you going to handle these things?
What’s your next phase going to look like?
I’m feeling called to dive deeper and be bolder in how I show up in the world. My next phase is going to be freakin’ AMAZING! It’s exciting, right?
And I want to hear from you!
What are your struggles right now?
- Feeling lost because you’re an empty nester?
- Ending a long-term relationship?
- Thinking about retirement or selling your business and not sure what’s next?
- Sandwiched between aging parents and raising your kids?
- Want to get to that next level of leadership?
- Craving more adventure in your life but not sure how to get it?
- Dealing with a difficult team member or employee?
- Thinking about making a big pivot in your career?
- Experiencing burnout?
- Not sure who you are anymore?
- Needing to fill up your confidence tank?
These are just a handful of subjects that I’ll be covering in future podcast episodes.
I’m going to focus more on life because how we live is WAY more important than any leadership role or business you own.
Coaching
I’ve also decided to make major changes to what my focus is in my coaching and consulting business.
If there’s one thing that really struck home with me this summer, it’s that any work I do has to be in alignment with my core values. If it’s not, it’s a no-go.
I’m honoring myself by taking on clients that are aligned with what I do and how I do it.
I’ve changed my private coaching program to align with the transformational results my clients receive.
It’s no longer based on what a company’s policy is. It’s based on the amount of time and commitment it takes to change the habits and patterns that have gotten you to this point.
We all are busy, and we need the spaciousness of time to actually do the inner work and practice new habits to create that next phase of life.
Once you feel complete with private coaching, you’ll have the option to move into an intimate group of powerhouse women just like you. Women who have been my private clients and want to continue their growth while meeting and supporting others.
International Retreats

I’ll be offering women’s international retreats that will be THE best thing you can ever do for yourself. Because of my dad’s continuing failing health, I chose to reschedule my Italy retreat to September 2024.
So if you’re disappointed that you couldn’t go this year, be sure to email me at hello@barbarachurchill.com with the subject line – Italy Retreat and I’ll make sure you get all the information.
For all these services I’ll be offering payment plans to make it easy to say yes to your own growth.
Speaking
I’m getting back to speaking to women’s groups, too. I love talking about real subjects rather than cookie-cutter topics that are the latest buzz.
So, if you’re looking for an engaging speaker for your next women’s event, I’m happy to talk to you. Schedule a call with me to learn more.
–
Over the next few months, I’ll be editing my website to reflect these changes so be sure to watch for that. I’m so excited to get started on this next phase of my business and life!
What phase are you in right now and what’s your next phase going to look like? I’d love to help you figure that out! You have this one life my friend. Let’s do this together!
Until next time remember:
I believe in you.
