Welcome back to Sacred Strategy: The Business + Energy Podcast. Let’s talk about the part of group programs no one really prepares you for.
Even with a potent curriculum, a gorgeous container, and the best of intentions… sometimes your group just doesn’t land the way you hoped. Clients start to hesitate. The energy feels heavy. You wonder if it’s something you did wrong. But what if the issue isn’t your content—it’s how your clients are experiencing the space?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how group programs can unintentionally create pressure, performance energy, and shutdown—even when the content is transformational. I’ll walk you through exactly what I shifted in my own coaching school to change this, and how you can design spaces that feel empowering, safe, and truly alive for your clients.
Inside this episode, I share:
The subtle signs your clients may be feeling overwhelmed, frozen, or unseen
The real reason your program might not feel expansive—and how to fix it
How I restructured my own space with the DECS Intensive to support deeper safety and intuitive trust
A walk-through of the Experiential Learning Framework—four core pillars that transform the client journey from content overload to embodied growth: • Circle Energy – move from teacher to space holder • Reflection – celebrate your clients’ essence and mirror their wisdom • Creative Practices – invite play, expression, and ritual • Immersion – create a journey, not just a curriculum
If you’ve ever felt like your clients are craving something deeper—but you’re not sure how to meet that need—this episode will offer grounded insight and tangible shifts to help you hold your programs in a whole new way.
