Emotional Granularity: The Coaching Power of Naming Emotions (ft. Tobias Weghorn)
In this episode, Noelle Cordeaux sits down with Tobias Weghorn — co-founder of metaFox and host of the Making of a Coach podcast — to unpack emotional granularity: the skill of moving from "I feel like sh*t" to "I feel lonely, because my need for connection isn't met," and why that shift is where real change begins. Coming from an engineering background and grounded in systemic NLP, mindfulness, and strengths psychology, Tobi shows how metaFox's picture and emotion cards give coaches a low-friction way to help clients go deep, fast. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a bigger emotional vocabulary makes feelings actionable The two levels of EQ: having the words, and feeling it in your body The "third object effect"... why clients reveal more when they talk about an image instead of themselves What to reach for when a client keeps saying "I don't know" Want to try the tools?

Using Goal Setting to Reduce Anxiety
Feeling anxious about the future? You're not alone. In this episode, Lumia CEO and co-founder Noelle Cordeaux breaks down the powerful science behind why goal-setting actually reduces anxiety, and how coaches can use this knowledge to help clients (and themselves) move from stuck to unstoppable. Drawing from the research of goal-setting pioneers Latham and Locke, positive psychology expert Caroline Miller, and Barbara Fredrickson's groundbreaking Broaden and Build theory, Noelle reveals why our brains crave predictability... and how well-designed goals give us exactly that. In this episode, you'll learn: Why anxiety thrives in uncertainty and how concrete plans create calm The difference between avoidance goals and approach goals (and why it matters) How small, consistent action steps build self-efficacy over time The power of self-concordant goals that align with your values Why deadlines should be scaffolding, not weapons How positive emotions literally change your brain chemistry Everything Life Coaching is brought to you by Lumia-- at Lumia, we train and certify impact-driven coaches, making sure they’ve got all they need to build a business they love and transform lives, on their terms.

Beyond the Body: Somatic & Erotic Intelligence for Coaches ft. Lena Queen
What happens when erotic intelligence meets coach training? In this episode, Noelle sits down with Lena Queen (original Lumia curriculum architect, licensed clinical social worker, somatic sexologist, decolonial sexuality educator, and author) for a conversation about the edges of what coaching can hold. Queen breaks down her integrative framework, which weaves together somatic healing, decolonizing wellness, neuro-spirituality, and erotic intelligence, and explains how each piece emerged from her own healing journey. She introduces the concept of "challenging defaults" ... 15 socialized value systems (think: assumed heteronormativity, fat phobia, white supremacy) that quietly shape our clients' self-limiting beliefs, and explains why affirmation work is far more nuanced than most coaches realize. This episode is also a clear-eyed look at coaching's lane. Lumia's training is cognitive and linguistic. Somatic work is its own world of study, and Queen is exactly who you'd go to for it. These two worlds aren't competing. They're complementary. If you're a practicing coach bumping up against the edges of what you know how to hold, this one's for you.

Mentor Coaching, Coaching Mastery, and the Path to MCC Credential (ft. Juliann Wiese & Karyn Edwards)
In this conversation on The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, sits down with Juliann Wiese, B.Ed., CPCC, MCC, CMC and Karyn Edwards, PhD, MCC... both longtime Lumia instructors and corporate leadership veterans who've collectively spent decades inside organizations before hanging up their shingles and building thriving independent practices. They get into the real talk of what it means to move from doing coaching to being a coach, letting go of ego, performance, and the constant toggling of skills, and what it looks like when the work finally becomes embodied. Juliann and Karyn also unpack what just changed in the ICF core competencies (updated November 2025) and why the renewed emphasis on mentorship and self-awareness as a coach is the future of the profession. These two are launching a mentor coaching cohort together, designed for coaches working in or aspiring to corporate environments, led by two of the roughly 4-5% of ICF-credentialed coaches worldwide who hold the MCC designation. They break down what questions you should actually be asking before choosing a mentor coach, why development beats checkbox-chasing every time, and what makes this program different. Only 10 spots. Cohort starts April 2nd, 2026.

Burnout, Resilience, and the Coaching Skills That Get You Through (ft. Danielle Adams-Wiltshire, PCC)
In this candid conversation on The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, and leadership development coach Danielle Adams-Wiltshire, PCC of Queen Suite Coaching get real about the burnout epidemic hitting coaches and clients alike in 2026. They trace the surprising history of burnout... from shell shock in the World Wars, to John Henryism and the crushing toll on Black Americans during Jim Crow, to the clinical coining of "burnout" in the 1970s... and land squarely in the present, where everyone seems to be running on fumes with no finish line in sight. But this isn't a doom-and-gloom episode. Noelle and Danielle share what actually helps when you're on your knees: the neurobiological power of laughter, why dogs might be the best leadership teachers, the difference between toxic positivity and genuine resilience, and why your 2026 goals don't have to be big... they just have to be yours. The goal doesn't have to always be growth. It can be function.

Speak Up, Stand Out: How One Defense Industry Leader Found Her Coaching Voice (ft. Carly)
In this community edition of The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux sits down with Lumia Signature student and 25-year defense industry leader Carly, who is building a coaching practice to help mid-career women find their voice in heavily male-dominated fields. Carly's story is powerful... she spent decades navigating rooms with no windows, no cell phones, and cultures where keeping quiet was the norm. At Lumia's annual retreat, something clicked, and she found the words to describe exactly who she wants to help and why. This conversation gets real about what it's like to be a woman in spaces where you're not always heard, how tiny experiments can build lasting confidence, and why coach training changed the way Carly shows up as a leader, mentor, and human. If you've ever felt like your voice doesn't belong in the room, or you're wondering how your own career experience could become a powerful coaching niche, this one's for you. Carly is a Lumia Certified Life Coach and a 25+ year leader in the defense industry, with a mission to help mid-career women break through to the Director level. She is a Red Sox season ticket holder, avid traveler, and proud dog mom to Tessie, a 4 year old Cavalier King Charles.
