Just Between Coaches

Coaching as an entrepreneur can be an isolated, and sometimes lonely, practice. Even with a strong roster of clients, we need the connection of peers. Isabelle Houle shares with us how she broke free of loneliness and grew through creating community.

Show Notes

Isabelle Houle is a holistic recovery coach, certified yoga teacher, and master NLP and Time Line Therapy® coach.

In this episode we discuss:
  • What does “community” mean exactly? 
  • What are the categories of community?
  • Embracing the magic in having a community.
  • Being consistent with your networking.
  • The importance of visiting a group at least three times before you make a commitment.
  • Other practices or activities that can help reduce loneliness.


“When we connect with other coaches… ask for what you need and learn to give. And when we do that, we create a safe space and we create trust.” — Isabelle Houle




Isabelle Houle

Isabelle Houle is a holistic recovery coach, certified yoga teacher, and master NLP and Time Line Therapy® coach who worked in the more traditional field of social work for 15 years. She also worked through addiction, Crohn’s disease, and Borderline Personality Disorder, which she recovered from.

After physical, emotional, and spiritual burnout, Isabelle knew she had to serve from her experience. She decided to create her own approach, one that would include everything she learned from her time as a social worker, the powerful ancient teachings of yoga and meditation, and the efficiency of NLP and Time Line Therapy. And this is how she supports her clients in reclaiming their power and finding true freedom and peace.

What is Just Between Coaches?

Where do coaches turn when they face a difficult situation with a client? Quite often, when coaching challenges arise, they reach out to a coach more senior than themselves. That’s the aim of Just Between Coaches — to be that trusted source of guidance for the coaching community.

Hosted by Melinda Cohan, coach and creator of The Coaches Console business management system, Just Between Coaches will answer the tough questions that coaches face every day. For example, what can I do if my client is lying? How do I deal with price resistance from prospects and clients? What if I want to fire a coaching client? And what the heck is a feeder course and why should I care?

This tactical podcast will provide a deep dive into one coaching topic per episode, which means searching for answers will be a breeze. It will also offer a simple way for listeners to refer other coaches who are grappling with those tough coaching questions. To submit a tough question you’re facing as a coach, put “JBC” in the subject line and send it to podcasts@mirasee.com.
