Welcome to another very special episode of the Coaching Magic podcast, the Tunnel of Slowing Down. In this meditation-style exercise, you're invited to take a deep breath and reflect on a moment that didn't quite sit right with you. You're invited to grab onto that unraveling thread and pull apart that moment. What will you notice? What can you glean? Where is there an opportunity for a new approach, mindset, or learning?

Welcome to the Tunnel!

In this episode of Coaching Magic, Jill Young sits down with EOS Implementer Caroline Moluf for a conversation that weaves together drive, impact, gratitude, and the power of living what you coach.

At the center of it all is a reframe Caroline has discovered: life doesn’t get in the way—life is the way. Jill and Caroline explore how our lived experiences become the curriculum for both our growth and our coaching, and how surrounding ourselves with supportive, inspiring people fuels our ability to lead and serve.

Caroline shares how her drive has evolved into a deep commitment to impact, how gratitude and awareness shape her daily life, and how coaching principles showed up exactly when she needed them most during a pivotal season with her family. Together, they reflect on joy, presence, and the magic of applying what we learn in real time.

This episode offers a real-time look at what happens after “baby coach” beginnings—when experience, self-trust, and identity start to click into place. Jill Young sits down with EOS Implementer Tricia Drake to explore her two-year evolution as a coach, from early uncertainty to grounded confidence. Together, they unpack the powerful distinction between what is normal (shared human experience) and what is natural (your authentic way of being), and how returning to that natural state unlocks deeper presence, stronger client impact, and more ease. Along the way, they explore the art of “dancing” with clients, the challenge of releasing attachment to outcomes, and a memorable octopus encounter that brings that lesson to life in an unforgettable way.

Meet Tricia Drake!

Jill Young sits down with her friend Sophia Qadri, a registered herbalist and Reiki master, for a rich conversation about coaching, healing, and the power of energy exchange. Together they explore how plants can support us as human beings, how coaches can think about themselves as healers, and why replenishing energy matters just as much as giving it.

Three Takeaways:

1. Coaching is an energy exchange

Sophia shares how she learned the hard way that giving too much without receiving back can lead to burnout. The conversation reframes coaching as something energetic, not just transactional, where support flows best when there is a healthy exchange.

2. Plants can teach us how to support and restore

Jill and Sophia connect herbalism to coaching by exploring how plants communicate, nourish, ground, and guide us. The episode highlights schisandra as a “five flavor berry” with qualities that support stress, focus, digestion, and overall resilience.

3. Healers come in many forms

One of the most expansive ideas in the episode is that healing does not have to look one way. A healer might be a coach, a herbalist, a shop owner, or even someone helping others feel better in a bank. The episode invites listeners to see support, care, and presence as part of everyday human work.

Meet Sophia!

Sophia Qadri is a registered herbalist, Reiki master, and the owner of Spring to Healh Apothecary in Keller, Texas. She supports people through herbal medicine, energy work, and holistic practices that help mind, body, and soul.

In this conversation, Jill Young talks with Jennifer Deroin about how EOS becomes more than a work framework—it becomes a way of life. Together, they explore long-term thinking, manifestation, gratitude, and the tension between creating a future vision and staying present in the moment. Jennifer also shares how her personal and professional worlds have blended over time, and how that blend has shaped the way she leads, lives, and dreams.

Key Themes:

1. EOS as a way of life
Jennifer shares how EOS permeates not just her work as an implementer, but also her home life, conversations, and the way she thinks about the world. The principles show up everywhere because they are rooted in values that apply beyond business.

2. Visioning with intention
The conversation explores the power of writing down what you want, visualizing it, and recognizing it when it appears. Jennifer describes how imagining her future helped her notice opportunities and move toward them with confidence.

3. Unattached to the outcome
Jennifer’s story about creating a version of her dream home shows how visioning can still lead to something even better than the original picture. The process matters, but the final form may look different than expected.

Presence, gratitude, and people
Jennifer and Jill reflect on gratitude as a grounding practice that brings people back to the present. Jennifer also notes that the people in our lives are often the clearest expression of EOS values in action.

Jill Young sits down with longtime friend and coach Mari Tautimes for a candid conversation about deep listening, personal growth, and what it really means to trust yourself—both in coaching and in life.

Three Takeaways:

1. Great coaching is quieter than you think
As confidence grows, the need to “perform” or provide answers fades. Powerful coaching comes from listening deeply, asking thoughtful questions, and allowing space for insight to emerge.

2. You already have what you need
Like a seed contains everything needed to become a tree, the core traits for growth—curiosity, resilience, resourcefulness—are already within you. The work is learning to activate them.

3. Trust yourself to show up for yourself
A defining idea from this episode: self-trust is built by consistently showing up. Not perfectly—but honestly, intentionally, and in alignment with what matters most.

Meet Mari!

In this episode of Coaching Magic with Jill and Becky Fromkes, Jill and Becky explore what it really means to coach the human in front of you. Becky shares how her favorite part of coaching is creating enough safety for people to be fully themselves, especially in hard conversations where fear, judgment, or conflict can make honesty feel risky.

The conversation moves into the deeper motivation behind coaching: the desire to relieve suffering. Jill and Becky reflect on how many coaches are driven by their own experiences of struggle and the wish to help others feel lighter, clearer, and more supported. They discuss why people often carry unspoken tension, how that tension builds in organizations, and why speaking with clarity can be an act of kindness.

Jill introduces the idea that bureaucratic problems often begin with the wrong people in the wrong seats, while Becky adds that good leadership starts with common ground, curiosity, and shared purpose. Rather than assuming and accusing, she encourages leaders and coaches to inquire, understand, and approach difficult conversations with empathy and skill.

The episode also highlights the power of timing, environment, and small details. Becky shares a simple but memorable example of changing the room setup to better support connection, showing how small shifts can create a big sense of belonging. The takeaway is clear: coaching magic often lives in the little things, the human things, and the quiet choices that help people feel seen, heard, and valued.
