This episode offers a real-time look at what happens after “baby coach” beginnings—when experience, self-trust, and identity start to click into place. Jill Young sits down with EOS Implementer Tricia Drake to explore her two-year evolution as a coach, from early uncertainty to grounded confidence. Together, they unpack the powerful distinction between what is normal (shared human experience) and what is natural (your authentic way of being), and how returning to that natural state unlocks deeper presence, stronger client impact, and more ease. Along the way, they explore the art of “dancing” with clients, the challenge of releasing attachment to outcomes, and a memorable octopus encounter that brings that lesson to life in an unforgettable way.
