  • Emotional Granularity: The Coaching Power of Naming Emotions (ft. Tobias Weghorn)
    May 29 2026

    In this episode, Noelle Cordeaux sits down with Tobias Weghorn — co-founder of metaFox and host of the Making of a Coach podcast — to unpack emotional granularity: the skill of moving from "I feel like sh*t" to "I feel lonely, because my need for connection isn't met," and why that shift is where real change begins.

    Coming from an engineering background and grounded in systemic NLP, mindfulness, and strengths psychology, Tobi shows how metaFox's picture and emotion cards give coaches a low-friction way to help clients go deep, fast.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why a bigger emotional vocabulary makes feelings actionable
    • The two levels of EQ: having the words, and feeling it in your body
    • The "third object effect"... why clients reveal more when they talk about an image instead of themselves
    • What to reach for when a client keeps saying "I don't know"

  • Using Goal Setting to Reduce Anxiety
    May 22 2026

    Feeling anxious about the future? You're not alone. In this episode, Lumia CEO and co-founder Noelle Cordeaux breaks down the powerful science behind why goal-setting actually reduces anxiety, and how coaches can use this knowledge to help clients (and themselves) move from stuck to unstoppable.

    Drawing from the research of goal-setting pioneers Latham and Locke, positive psychology expert Caroline Miller, and Barbara Fredrickson's groundbreaking Broaden and Build theory, Noelle reveals why our brains crave predictability... and how well-designed goals give us exactly that.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why anxiety thrives in uncertainty and how concrete plans create calm
    • The difference between avoidance goals and approach goals (and why it matters)
    • How small, consistent action steps build self-efficacy over time
    • The power of self-concordant goals that align with your values
    • Why deadlines should be scaffolding, not weapons
    • How positive emotions literally change your brain chemistry
