Good morning Life has so many ups and downs, and I’m getting better at allowing myself to pause, to process, and to heal — rather than pushing through. My business is moving slowly right now. And honestly, that feels okay. I’m giving myself time to build stronger rhythms around health, rest, and being human. Yesterday I visited a friend I used to teach with. She’s in hospice at the age of 50 after a long battle with cancer. When I saw her on Thursday, she was doing relatively well. Yesterday, there was a significant drop. It’s one of those moments that stops you in your tracks. I’m giving myself permission to feel, to grieve, and to get clearer on my own life and the direction I want to take — instead of forcing momentum. Over the past 10 years in this community, I’ve gradually redirected my life, and in many ways, I’m living my dream. That said, there have been plenty of roadblocks, speed bumps, and reroutes along the way. At the time, many of them felt like a pain in the butt — and I’ll be honest, I resisted more than a few. Looking back, I can see they were gentle… and sometimes not-so-gentle nudges guiding me where I was meant to go. I’m deeply grateful for them now. In the moment? Not always so much. I’m learning to trust — really trust — the unfolding. To say no to something good, so I have the space and capacity when something great arrives. To believe the universe is shaping me into the unique human I’m here to be, and opening doors I couldn’t have imagined if I were still pushing so hard. I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing humans in this community — for the friendships we’ve built and the way we walk alongside one another. I’m looking forward to meeting more of you in Mexico. Sending so much love to each of you as we move through this wild, tender, beautiful thing called life — inspiring, encouraging, supporting, and building together. And a gentle reminder… reach out to the people you love. Even if it’s been a while.

Hi @Cate Stillman @Club Thrive Global we keep getting kicked out of the Zoom - a bunch of us were on there waiting for the session to start. Is the meeting still on?

Meeting Recap : 02-04-2026 | Session by @Valerie Hwang Beck This session focused on mastering the Closing Phase (Call 3) and handling the "Time Objection." Participants explored how to move from explaining to "looping"—using questions that help prospects solve their own objections—while emphasizing that imperfect action beats waiting for a perfect curriculum. Key Takeaways: - The 3-Call Structure Reduces Pressure: splitting the process (Discovery -> Roadmap -> Decision) removes the desperation to close immediately. - Prevent Ghosting with Video: Sending a personal video between Call 2 and Call 3 re-frames the meeting as an invitation, drastically reducing cancellations. - "Looping" beats Explaining: When a client objects, ask questions (loop) to help them articulate the value, rather than defending your program. - Sell the Destination (A to B): Clients don't buy "coaching calls"; they buy the bridge from where they are (Point A) to where they want to be (Point B). Next Steps: - Draft your "A to B" Roadmap to visualize the client journey for Call 2. - Record a "Bridge Video" to send prospects before the final decision call. - Practice Looping: Stop explaining your features; ask questions that make the client define the value. PS: We aren't hunting for a "Yes"; we are hunting for a clear decision. Clarity cures the chase. Watch Recording Here : VIMEO

Has anyone dealt with a member wanting to cancel membership early and unwilling to pause the membership? My policy in the signed contract is "no refunds" and a fee of $500 for a pause of a few months, but they were unwilling to pause, and just wanting to completely cancel the membership, and they're not in a financial position to keep paying the monthly payments. I don't want to be shaky on my boundaries but I also understand where this member is coming from. She was very apologetic and said she'd wished she'd read and understood the contract better when she signed it back in the Fall. I told her I'd think on it and get back to her after I've considered a middle ground option. Should I just give her the option to pay the "pause" fee of $500 as a cancellation fee instead? I don't want to force a person who has made up her mind and has been thinking about this for a while and who had a lot of courage to bring it up to me. I'd really appreciate feedback on this situation. @Cate Stillman
