Your coaching niche probably isn't broken. The way you're describing it is.

In this episode, Michelle walks through a session with a client who'd been rewriting her elevator pitch for weeks, only to discover her real coaching niche had been sitting in her own story the whole time.

If your niche statement sounds good in a workshop but lands flat in real conversation, this episode is for you.

What you'll learn:

• The one question that reveals your real coaching niche in five minutes
• Three signs your niche is too generic (and what each one is actually costing you)
• Why your dream client is almost always the version of you from a few years ago
• The identity work hiding inside what looks like a marketing problem
• A 10-minute exercise to rewrite your niche statement

Quotable moments:

"Most coaches think they have a niche problem. They almost never do. They have an identity problem."

"The discomfort of claiming her is usually the discomfort of admitting how far you've come."

"You don't have to invent her. You just have to name her."
