So welcome back. I have my dear friend Kristen Kurtz here from New Wings Coaching. And Kristen is a prophetic life coach. And what she really loves to do is unlock women so they can step into their God-given gifts, right? So welcome, Kristen. I'm so happy to have you here. Thank you. I'm excited to be here and that you're, you know, relaunching this. Yeah. It's been it's been a journey. Let me let me say that. But why don't you just share like how New Wings Coaching was born?
SPEAKER_01:Oh gosh. I feel like I've, in essence, kind of been a coach or somebody's like in the corner person like my whole life. I've just always encouraging people. Um, I see things in people that they don't always see. Sure. But I was I was led to officially, you know, get certified back in 2017 um through Christian Coach Institute. And I actually learned that, you know, coaching was different than real life got dogs here, if you can hear them. Um, but I learned like there is there's a way of coaching that was different than what I was actually doing because coaching isn't telling people what to do. It's actually like asking questions to help them, you know, discover whatever it is they want to discover, right? Right. And especially when you add in Holy Spirit, it becomes like this um three-way call. So, anyways, I loved it. Like I absolutely was like, oh my gosh, this is like I think I got done with that training when I was 40, which is really significant because I felt like I was kind of coming out of this wilderness time. Yeah. And, you know, I feel like we kind of go in and out of the wilderness. Maybe it's just me. Nope. Um, but I just really felt like it was what I'd been called to do my whole life in a different capacity than what I thought it was. So new wings coaching, I asked the Lord, you know, what is the name of this business? And I was at the job I used to work at, walking down the hallway, and it wasn't this immediate, you know, sitting down, what is the name for the business? I didn't really get anything right away. Sure. But it was like walking down the hallway. Um, I don't know, maybe within a week or two, and I just heard new wings coaching, and I'm like, that is perfect. Because at that time, butterflies were like my little god wings because they really represented, you know, transformation and all that goodness. Now eagles have become my thing, so it's all about so they've from like dainty wings to like really strong.
SPEAKER_00:Massive wings, yeah. I love eagles too. We have that conversation all the time. So who's your favorite type of client to work with?
SPEAKER_01:Oh gosh, I really and I was even thinking about this on a deeper level today. I really love like the counterculture ones, the ones who are walking out something that really looks kind of crazy to the world. Um, they maybe have like a hundred times impossible dream that the Lord's given them, and I get to come alongside them and help them be that but God said coach. Yeah. Um a lot of these gals, I've noticed, don't have a lot of people in their corner that um support them because it just looks too crazy because people in the Bible didn't do crazy things, right?
SPEAKER_00:It's so true. I mean, I can't tell you how many times when I was starting Exalted Health, um, that I have friends and family uh who would be like, why don't you just get a job? I don't understand why you don't just get a job. And when the Lord puts something on your heart, you know that even the hard times, it's like completely worth it. And um, you get to see his glory shine through when you when you fall into step with him. So, what's one of your favorite testimonies from when you're coaching clients? Of course, keep their, you know, keeping their personal details private, which I know, but just like what you can share.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I I think one of my favorite, I guess you'd say like a testimonial, is she basically came out of one session and said, You carry a spiritual ultrasound. You're like a spiritual midwife who literally knew what I was like birthing, needing to birth that I couldn't even see on my own. And that visual for me was very prophetic, of course, but also solidified um like the joy that you get. Like I can imagine a midwife, and I'm not a midwife per se in the natural to help women, you know, birth their babies, but it just reminded me of this um word that I had heard probably a year before that that you know I'm pregnant with purpose, but that many others are as well. And then I guess it kind of helped them, you know, discover that they're pregnant.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Develop help them develop, you know, along the way and then help them deliver because um it was just this reminder too that too many, I I feel like too many women like self-abort what it is maybe they have a vision for, especially if it's too big. Um like if their baby's too big, it's just like, oh, there's no way.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So that that testimonial in and of itself um has without giving any names, of course, because I'm super confidential, but um, she's definitely on her way to birthing a book, you know, sooner than later and not putting it on the bookshelf because you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think it's easy when we hit roadblocks and when we stumble, when we're creating something new, to just believe, oh, maybe I heard wrong. Oh, maybe I'm following the wrong path. Yeah. Because we have this idea that if it's with God, it's gonna be super easy. But sometimes we have to break down a lot of barriers. And and I'll be honest, like this is probably the hardest thing I've ever birthed. Um, but it's also given me like the most like joy and satisfaction, and I've seen the most people get healed. And um, so I think that lie that it's supposed to be easy because it's with God. But if it was easy, then we wouldn't have to rely on him, right? That this is the truth, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Especially when you're like pioneering something new, right? That's what I see a lot of is um these women that are pioneering something new, or you know, if it's already a thing that's out there, it's it's there's an element of it being different and up-leveled, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do so and that is not easy, like no an entrepreneur, being an entrepreneur is not easy. And if anybody tells you it's easy, I think you should run away from them.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, the name Matt. It's like there's no easy, yeah, there's no easy. Okay, so let me ask you this question because my whole brand is finding ways to regulate your nervous system because that affects every area of our life, right? So most people wouldn't think of a life coach to help in that area. Like, how can you bring a little bit of that context into coaching people?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, well, it's interesting that you'd asked this question because when you asked it now, I was just reminded, you know, because I have a podcast as well. And I literally sent this lady a voice message, Drew Messenger, and she said, You're calming my nervous system. Your voice is calming my nervous system. So um, I guess uh when people come into my space, I hear that you're safe and I feel free to like release the things I need to release. So it's kind of a different nervous system release, I guess, because a lot of times people are coming in feeling kind of pent up with something, and then apparently through my voice.
unknown:I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:That's the holy that's the holy spirit. That was that was probably a very fascinating thing. But um, you know, just teaching women, part of my coaching is you know, years and years ago, I was at a networking event and they'd asked what your elevator speech was. And the first thing I heard, like dropping my spirit, was I help women rest so they can soar. So just helping women to take hold of ways that they can integrate rest into their lives, whether it's like going for a walk or I I do assign hammocks to people quite a bit. I love it.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's so good. And I can also see like if you're birthing something new, and most of the world is gonna think you're crazy, right? So finding safe spaces, like you said, where people feel like they you're seeing them, you're hearing them, like you're knowing what the calling is on their heart, and you can speak that into them, pray that into them, you know, really come alongside. So I can see how that could be amazing because I know, like back when I was starting Exalted Health, long before the nervous system was even a topic, I was talking about, like I always felt like urgent. I always felt rushed to get everything out there. And then that's just how you know it's not the Lord, right? So there was some re-configuring and redesigning I had to do, and along the way, the Lord started reminding me about the nervous system and all the work I'd done on the nervous system, and here we are. But it's just interesting how it continues to evolve with him, right? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And it's like come full circle of what you've experienced, right? And then you get to release it to others.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, so so good. So I know you have some other like group programs and things going on. Why don't you just share a little bit more of what you do in that area?
SPEAKER_01:So, like I said, I've got Hope Unlocked, the podcast, um, which is so fun to interview people like what you're doing.
SPEAKER_00:Right.
SPEAKER_01:Um, I'm currently doing a Living Fearless group coaching experience that has already started. I think I'm gonna be doing it again in the future because um I feel like it's kind of a now thing where we need to step into those places that uh maybe aren't easy and we need to have people around us, um, community. I I do love the group coaching experiences because of that aspect of connections. Um but my really is the one-on-one coaching space. I I just love going deep. Um last night again, without putting any anybody's name out there. I I I put someone on bed rest for that, basically for the week. I'm like, you need to go on bed rest. That's your prescription. Um again, kind of like bringing it down a level. Um, so one one-on-one coaching is my jam. Um, I do have a group called one or Life Unlocked Collective, which is off social media. Um, and I just pour out in their monthly missions, a couple Zooms a month. Um, and then my Facebook group, which is Life Unlocked.
SPEAKER_00:Can you see the commonality with a certain word here? I love it. So if someone's listening to this and they're feeling like, hey, uh, I feel like I maybe have this dream, but I don't know if I'm ready for a coach, but maybe I am. Like, what are some of the things that you could help walk them through as they're like maybe percolating an idea or getting ready to step into a new area?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I mean, I would just if if you feel like there's a connection here, I'd be happy to hop on a call with you. I do a free, what I call unlocking call, half hour call, just to see here where you're at. Um is it am I a good fit for you? I might not be a good fit for you. And I'm one who passes people on to other people if I'm not the best fit. So I tend to be kind of like a triage and then a resourcer to go. Yeah. I'm not the right one.
SPEAKER_00:So what if somebody doesn't have a business idea, but they just are looking for maybe some some loving like life coach support? Is that a good fit? Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. I mean, I have I have such a variety of women that I work with. Um, I do love the you know, birthing a business or a ministry. Um, I've got a gal who's who's not, you know, interested in doing some of those things and yet she just wants to do a book or she wants to do a podcast or, you know, whatever it is, it doesn't have to necessarily be business or industry. I feel like Jesus met everyone and anyone, and I know that's not what you're supposed to say in the business world, but I love to kind of be a touch point of, you know, if you're led to reach out to me, I can see if we're a good fit, like I said, or even pass you on. Because you might be more looking for, you know, like a health coach. And I I do some of that that integrates into what I do, but it's not the main thing. Um part of that thing that I do, I didn't mention, I I do have a program called 75 Whole, which is a flip the script of 75 Hard. Sure, yeah. What does that look like? That's been like it's like a standalone experience for ladies. Um yeah, it's seven intentions that the Lord dropped on me. They all start with a W, including, yeah, I won't give them all, but because there has to be an element of surprise, but you know, walking, getting in the Word, drinking your water. So good, worship, you know, just the things that I think a lot of times, you know, I've had some people do it and they're like, Well, I I can't do it when I'm on vacation. It's like, well, why can't you drink water and you know, yeah, eat the word on vacation? Yep. Really just great a grace-based approach to really integrating these beautiful intentions that everybody wants to do. So good.
SPEAKER_00:Because when we do those little things, it's like so much else in our life like falls into place, right? When we just are grounded and centered in the Lord, and it's so good. So good. Yeah, absolutely. Any last nuggets you want to drop on anyone listening today?
SPEAKER_01:Well, you know, today I I really was just sitting as I was uh in the shower, sitting with the Lord in the shower. Because you know how you have those moments where what he was really showing me is I don't know who this is for. It could be for somebody on here today. I know I I post on social media because it I it was like this burning word. Sure. Um that you know, you're gonna have a lot of people that are gonna should on you. And I'm saying that very clearly, should. They're gonna should on you. Um, but I feel like he really wants you to know that just really stand firm in what he's showing you to do and to keep going. Um, sometimes I feel like my coaching name should literally be keep going coaching, because um, you're gonna have a lot of people along the way that are gonna say, you know, like you said, for me even too, it's like go back and get a job, you know, this doesn't make sense. You need to wear more makeup, you need to talk this way, you need to do this X, Y, and Z to be successful in business. But I just want to remind you to keep going back to the Lord and ask him, what does this look like for you? What are your next steps? So good. And just keep going with that because there's gonna be a lot of things are gonna try to stop you along the way.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. The enemy doesn't want us stepping into where the Lord's really calling us because that's a threat to the kingdom of the world versus the Lord's kingdom, right? And it has generational implications, right? It does. Yes. Yeah, so good. Well, where can uh listeners find you?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so I'm on social media. You can find me, uh Kristen K-R-I-S-T-I-N, um Kurtz K-U-R-T-Z. And then on Instagram, it's you know the at sign renew.wings. Um, you can go to new wingscoaching.net for my website. Check that out. Awesome. And Hope Unlocked Podcast is all over the place.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. So good. I've been a guest on hers as well. Yeah. Go listen to Jen. I'll link all of those in the show notes so people can find you. But I just want to say thank you for coming on today. It's been a pleasure. Um, do you want to just release a blessing over anybody listening? Would you be willing to do that?
SPEAKER_01:For for Jen and for the ways that you are moving her to move others and um the healing hands that she brings to this world. I've I've been a recipient and I'm so thankful for her and her yes. And I just pray over anybody who's listening today that has a bold and holy yes that they're they're waiting on to release, I pray that that would be initiated and ignited today. Um, ask him what that yes looks like and get around other people that are going to cheerlead you. Get around other people who are going to um, you know, just help you along the way. We cannot do this alone. So as you're stepping into those next steps, um I pray blessing over you. I pray um his hand on you, and that um you would continue to just walk this out as he leads in Jesus' mighty name.
SPEAKER_00:Amen. Amen. Thank you, and thanks for being here. You're welcome.
