187: Life, Leadership & Letting Go of Perfection — A Conversation with My Husband Evan

In this deeply personal episode, Laura sits down with her husband Evan—life and leadership coach, former firefighter, real estate investor, and now author of 30 Days to Harmony. Together, they reflect on the journey of entrepreneurship, faith, personal growth, and building a coaching business rooted in authenticity and connection. Evan shares the behind-the-scenes story of writing his book in secret, the challenges of being a coach in real life (not just online), and the invisible work that comes with staying in integrity as a human and coach. Expect laughter, honesty, raw reflections, and tangible inspiration for coaches and their partners alike.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• You don’t need to have it all figured out to be effective as a coach—perfection is not the prerequisite.
• Evan’s unique path to coaching was shaped by faith, family, and a desire to serve outside of traditional roles.
• His business is built with a mix of in-person and online coaching, word-of-mouth referrals, and real-life presence.
• The power of being a “tugboat,” inviting people into coaching from a place of love, service, and non-attachment.
• Entrepreneurship (and life) requires faith beyond just skills and hustle—it’s a spiritual journey too.
• Ghosting in real-life coaching relationships can be avoided with intentional agreements and courageous conversations.
• Evan's new workbook, 30 Days to Harmony, is a transformational tool designed for men, women, and families alike.
