How do you know who to serve with your business?  You've probably heard the advice that it is beneficial to niche down.  Yet, the decision isn't easy.

What if you felt a calling?  A gentle pull or a quiet voice nudging you.  What if you listened to it?

That's exactly what happened to my guest, Meagan Skidmore. 

Often our struggles are training for our calling.   As a member of the LDS church, Meagan found herself at a crossroad when her child came out as LGBTQ+.  Her journey of listening, thought work and expansion in her faith proved she could have it all.  She can love her child and enjoy her faith.

Now Meagan helps other parents of LGBTQ+ kids of a conservative faith background.  Listen in, get inspired, and listen for your calling.

 In this episode, we explore:

• General vs. Niched Life Coaching
• When your world goes topsy turvy
• LGBTQ+ Parent's fears

• How doubt is a beautiful thing
