Turning Big Thinking Into an Amazing Life and Business with Emelie Russell
04/04/23 • 38 min
Are you investing in yourself the way you need to based on where you’re at right now?
You might be stuck in investing in industry or problem-specific coaching, which isn’t a bad idea. But the thought of exploring the option of life and business coaching together may not have even crossed your radar.
That’s where Emelie Russell found herself when I hired her in April 2022 to be my videographer for a live event I was doing. She’d invested in specific coaching for her profession but had never thought broader than that, until I asked her about it.
You might see a bit of yourself in Emelie. Within a few years, she took her wedding videographer hobby and turned it into a thriving six-figure business while growing her family of three kids. And today, she’s here to share how coaching has helped her shift her mindset and approach to her life and business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll see how coaching can help you redefine what work-life balance and asking for help looks like for you as a parent and entrepreneur. I’ll also teach you about the success triangle I use with a lot of clients and the three beliefs that, when added together, really show what you think you’re worth.
6:04 - How Emelie got into wedding videography and started it as a business while growing her family
10:44 - How Emelie’s relationship with her growing business shifted and impacted her as a mom
14:00 - The three components of the success triangle and the obstacle that got in Emelie’s way
18:49 - How things have changed in Emelie’s life with the mindset shift she gained from coaching
21:00 - How internal drama over a trip to Sweden showcased Emelie’s feelings about her worth
26:02 - How investing in herself helps Emelie’s clients and family (and can do the same for you)
28:31 - What Emilie’s gained from coaching and what she’d say to you if you’re considering it
30:20 - The question Emelie repeats to herself over and over that can help keep you on track

5 Truths That Will Help You Learn How to Stop People-Pleasing
What would be possible in your business (or life) if you knew how to stop people-pleasing?
You’d feel less overwhelmed in your business. You’d be a happier person, too, in the long-run. And you might not even realize all the negative consequences that people-pleasing has on various aspects of your life. (Or maybe you’re painfully aware but just can’t seem to stop it)!
What you need is the real truth behind your people-pleasing tendency... a big picture view, if you will. I’ve discovered something that sheds light on this and am excited to share it with you on Time to Level Up.
What I discovered was a book by Amy Morin. Morin is a licensed clinical social worker and author. And in her book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, she discusses truths behind people-pleasing that offer an opportunity for you to finally break the habit.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn Morin’s five truths about people-pleasing and how the effects of it can show up in your life or business. I’ll also teach you four things you can do right now to get out of any people-pleasing tendency you’ve developed.
2:29 - What people-pleasing is really about
3:48 - Truth #2: the likability and respectability factor
4:45 - Why annoyance doesn’t equal dislike
7:07 - Why it’s not worth getting people to like or respect you
8:50 - The last truth that will help you eliminate your people-pleasing habit
10:12 - Four things you can do to get a handle on people-pleasing tendencies

The Difference Between Consulting, Coaching and Counseling
“Counselor, consultant, or coach? Help, I can’t decide!”
As a female business owner, you benefit tremendously from having coaching that focuses on both life and business. But you also have consultants and therapists available to help you, too, and picking between them all can get tricky.
So let’s clear up the confusion. How can you determine which one to choose (and when)? You need to know the difference between consulting, coaching, and counseling and how to evaluate yourself to know which one is right for you.
Today on the Time to Level Up podcast, I help make it clear by painting a visual picture that illustrates the point. Near the end of the show, I also provide a tool to help you reflect and further access what you need.
So in this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about all three's differences (and similarities). I’ll define the role of consultant, coach, and counselor and teach you to figure out which one to hire for yourself.
4:10 - How you might know right away which professional you need
14:52 - How coaches, consultants, and therapists come at situations similarly and differently
16:54 - How to access when you need to hire a consultant vs. a coach
20:58 - Figuring out if you need a counselor or coach (and a common misconception about coaching)
25:39 - What I do for you as a coach and my ideal coaching client
28:40 - The different focus, goals, and framework of counselors and coaches
32:42 - A tool to help you do a self-assess yourself and figure out what’s best for you
