In this interview segment, Carly Hill asks a therapist‑turned‑program creator to give advice to women who want to launch a coaching business. The guest explains how perfectionism held her back and how group coaching calls and mindset sessions helped her shift. She emphasizes an 80/20 mindset: release a product quickly, accept it isn’t perfect, and iterate later. Repeated affirmations that her unique experience is valuable reinforced confidence. The core message to listeners is to start now, share what they have, and trust that they can improve over time.

So what's one piece of advice you would give to women who are wanting to take this leap and maybe just talk about like your experience? Like what's your biggest win or like what has this been like for you creating this program?
The parts where I was feeling like, you know, I want to do all of this, but I'm not sure how to do that, how to sell that. Like all of the group coaching calls, the mindset calls, like those were super helpful in helping me get over some of the I have to put out something perfect. I have to put out like the right thing that's going to be forever. And I think some of the most important messages were just like, just like 80/20 it, just like put something out there and you can always fix it later. You can always tweak it, but also it doesn't have to be perfect. Like we know therapists aren't perfect and that's okay. Coaches don't have to be perfect either. So for me, I think it was just repeated affirmations of you have something valuable to offer. No one does what you do the way you do it. And just like, just start, just get it out there.
