In this episode of Between Two Coaches, I sit down with Eugene Berezin — business strategist, mentor, former clinical psychologist, and software engineer — for a grounded, honest conversation about what it really takes to build a coaching business that lasts in today’s trust-challenged market.
Eugene brings a rare blend of psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, and practical business strategy to the table. We explore why so many coaches feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck right now — and how nervous system regulation, ethical marketing, and clear messaging are becoming non-negotiables for sustainable growth.
This conversation goes beyond tactics. It’s about staying sane while building something meaningful, navigating a “trust recession” without compromising your values, and creating a business that supports your life — not drains it.
If you are a coach, consultant, or expert trying to grow with integrity in an increasingly noisy online space, this episode will shift the way you think about success.
In this episode, we cover:
What a “trust recession” means for coaches and consultants
Why nervous system regulation impacts business growth
The intersection of psychology, spirituality, and profit
How to build trust without manipulation or hype
Messaging that resonates in uncertain times
Creating sustainable success without burning out
🎧 Tune in to hear how heart-led strategy and evidence-based psychology can coexist — and why that combination may be the future of coaching.

In this episode of Between Two Coaches, Norbert Orlewicz sits down with Eric Whitmoyer, Founder and CEO of My Biz Coaches, to unpack what it really takes to scale a business beyond hustle, guesswork, and burnout.
Eric has helped grow two companies past $100 million in annual revenue, started or acquired 15 businesses of his own, and coached more than 100 entrepreneurs through the realities of growth. In this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on why most business owners stay stuck, why effort alone is not the problem, and what actually separates scalable businesses from those that plateau or quietly shut down.
Many coaches and entrepreneurs believe more information, more tactics, or more certifications will solve their growth problems. Eric challenges that belief by explaining why clarity, structure, and leadership matter far more than trying harder. He introduces his Six Core Competencies Framework and explains how missing just one of these areas can stall or even collapse an otherwise successful business.
Drawing from decades of real-world experience across sales, operations, finance, and leadership, Eric shares the lessons he learned the hard way and the patterns he now sees repeated across hundreds of businesses.
🔥 In this episode, you will learn:
Why access to information is no longer the problem ● What most business owners misunderstand about scaling ● The six core competencies every business must master to grow sustainably ● Why “solopreneur” thinking keeps coaches stuck ● How to think like a CEO instead of a technician ● The real reason most businesses never sell or successfully exit ● How mentorship shortens the learning curve and reduces costly mistakes
This is not theory or surface-level strategy. This is a grounded, experience-driven conversation about building businesses that last, create freedom, and do not depend entirely on the owner.
🎧 If you are a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur who wants to scale with intention, clarity, and long-term vision, this episode will challenge the way you think about growth.

In this powerful episode of Between Two Coaches, Norbert Orlewicz sits down with Amy Lenius, speaker, coach, and Director of Group Coaching at Next Level University, to explore what it really means to redefine success in a world that constantly tells women to do more, push harder, and override themselves.
Amy’s work is grounded in lived experience. After navigating chronic illness and rebuilding her health, identity, and self worth from the ground up, she discovered that sustainable success is not built through hustle alone. It is built through self belief, emotional resilience, and the daily courage to choose yourself even when it feels uncomfortable.
Most women are taught to measure success by external milestones. Titles. Productivity. Achievement. But Amy challenges that framework entirely. She shares why consistency matters more than intensity, why alignment beats motivation, and how honoring your own rhythms creates results that actually last.
Throughout the conversation, Amy and Norbert unpack the internal shifts that must happen before real transformation can take place. This episode is not about quick fixes or surface level habits. It is about rebuilding your relationship with yourself so that success stops feeling exhausting and starts feeling sustainable.
🔥 In this episode, you will learn:
Why self belief is the foundation of any lasting change ● How consistency creates confidence over time ● The hidden cost of chasing success that is not aligned ● Why choosing yourself daily is a discipline, not a luxury ● How emotional resilience supports long term growth ● The difference between external success and internal fulfillment ● How to create habits that support your life instead of draining it
This is a conversation for women who are tired of burning out in the name of success and are ready to build something that feels grounded, aligned, and real.
🎧 If you are ready to redefine success on your own terms and create growth that honors who you are, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

In this powerful episode of Between Two Coaches, Norbert Orlewicz sits down with Maïwen Harfouche, certified Life and Language Coach, public speaker, and writer, to explore what it really means to start over when life does not go according to plan.
 
Many women experience major transitions in their 30s and early 40s. Career shifts, relocations, breakups, identity loss, and moments where everything familiar falls away. Maïwen knows this territory deeply. After moving to Canada alone and rebuilding her life from scratch, she transformed her own journey into a coaching practice rooted in courage, clarity, and self trust.
 
Most conversations around reinvention focus on quick fixes or positive thinking. Maïwen offers a different perspective. She believes purpose is not found by bypassing pain, but by staying present with it and allowing it to shape who you are becoming.
 
Drawing from years of coaching across Europe and her personal story of resilience, Maïwen breaks down how women can use life transitions as fuel rather than proof of failure.
 
🔥 In this episode, you will learn:
 
Why starting over does not mean you failed
How to rebuild self trust after life falls apart
The difference between forcing change and allowing real transformation
Why sitting with discomfort leads to clarity and confidence
How transitions can become gateways to purpose and authenticity
What it means to lead your life with courage instead of control
How to stop abandoning yourself during uncertain seasons
 
This is an honest, grounded conversation for women who are in the middle of change and ready to build something real, not perform healing or rush the process.
 
🎧 If you are navigating a life transition and want to reconnect with who you truly are, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode of Between Two Coaches, Norbert Orlewicz sits down with Ally Machate, former Simon and Schuster editor and founder of The Writer’s Ally, to cut through the noise around publishing and show coaches how to make a book that actually grows their business.
 
Most experts write a book because they feel they should, not because they have a strategic plan. Ally reveals the real mistake that dooms many business books: they are written without a clear purpose or a tested audience. A great book can be your best marketing asset when it is designed to attract the right clients, not just win praise.
 
Drawing on more than 25 years inside big publishing and hundreds of author launches, Ally breaks publishing into four practical paths and explains which route fits different business stages. She shows how to test your material early, build a launch that matters long term, and use reviews and giveaways to make your book discoverable and profitable for your coaching practice.
 
Whether you are planning your first book or iterating a draft, this episode will help you:
Decide if you are ready to write a book or whether you should validate ideas first
Tell the difference between the wrong book and the right book for your business goals
Choose the publishing path that matches your timeline, budget, and control needs
Use mini books and lead magnets to test concepts and build an eager launch list
Structure a launch that generates reviews and sustained discoverability on platforms like Amazon
Turn free copies into high value client conversations and long term revenue streams
Avoid costly production mistakes by investing in editorial and professional design that actually converts
Plan post launch uses for your book including workshops, funnels, and speaking opportunities
If you want clarity on publishing without wasting time or money, Ally’s practical playbook will save you from costly mistakes and get your book working as a true business engine.

In this powerful episode of Between Two Coaches, Norbert Orlewicz sits down with Audrey Faust, best selling author, speaker, and The Manifesting CFO™, to unpack one of the biggest hidden barriers keeping entrepreneurs from growing: their relationship with money.
Most business owners try to fix revenue problems with more strategy, more funnels, more marketing, or more effort. But Audrey reveals a much deeper truth. For many entrepreneurs, the real block is not the strategy at all. It is the fear behind the numbers, the stories they inherited, and the emotions tied to success, worthiness, and money itself.
Drawing from more than 25 years as a CFO and her own transformation with energy, alignment, and manifestation, Audrey breaks down why entrepreneurs must address their inner world if they want their outer results to shift. She shares the exact tools she uses to help women release money fear, rebuild trust in themselves, and create financial momentum with clarity and ease.
🔥 In this episode you will learn: ● Why entrepreneurs often fear their own numbers and how it silently sabotages growth ● How old money stories and beliefs influence your decisions more than you realize ● The role alignment plays in turning strategy into results ● Why mindset work is not fluff and how it directly impacts financial outcomes ● How to shift from force and pressure into clarity and confidence ● Practical tools for releasing fear through techniques like EFT tapping ● What happens when your thoughts and energy match the vision you are building
This is not another conversation about spreadsheets or budgets. This is the deeper work behind money confidence, business growth, and the ability to receive more with trust instead of tension.
🎧 If you want your strategies to finally start working, and you are ready to break the patterns that keep you stuck, this episode will give you the clarity and empowerment you have been looking for.

In this powerful episode of Between Two Coaches, Norbert Orlewicz sits down with high performance hypnotherapist and success mindset coach Claire Rich, a UK based expert who helps ambitious, driven business owners and high achievers reset their subconscious mind so they can create healthier, happier, more fulfilling, richer lives with ease.
After years of battling stress, anxiety, burnout, and a demanding corporate career, Claire discovered high performance hypnotherapy and it completely transformed her life. She eliminated lifelong anxiety, overcame panic attacks, lost nearly three and a half stone in weight, and became stronger, healthier, and more confident than she had ever been. That experience inspired her to dedicate the last 19 years to helping others unlock the same level of freedom, clarity, and performance.
Claire explains why the subconscious mind is the single biggest needle mover behind personal and professional success and why most coaches and high achievers struggle because they never address the deeper patterns that drive their behavior. She breaks down how personality types affect hypnosis, why mindset work goes far beyond affirmations and vision boards, and why traditional coaching often fails to address the real root of a person’s struggles.
🎧 In this conversation you will learn: ● Why high achievers burn out and how to prevent it ● How the subconscious mind shapes confidence, productivity, and performance ● What “deep mindset work” actually looks like ● The difference between Suggestion Therapy and Analytical Hypnotherapy ● Why some people think they “cannot be hypnotized” and why that is not true ● How to identify the subconscious programs that sabotage your goals ● Why high performance hypnotherapy is the secret weapon of elite achievers ● How Claire helps clients increase focus, reduce stress, and unlock peak performance ● Why mastering your mind matters more than mastering any tactic or strategy
Claire also shares personal stories about overcoming fear, building her business from the ground up, transitioning from corporate life, surviving an autoimmune disease, and reinventing her coaching model after COVID forced her entire practice online.
If you are a coach, consultant, creator, or high achieving entrepreneur who feels stretched thin or stuck at a plateau, this conversation gives you a clear roadmap to reclaim your energy, rewire your mindset, and step into your next level of performance with more ease and less stress.
