Episode Details

Most people know Tabatha Coffey as the star of Tabatha Takes Over, where she ruthlessly turned around failing businesses. But as she reveals in this intimate conversation, she wasn't just fixing balance sheets, she was fixing souls.

In this episode, Tabatha opens up about the holding pattern of the last few years while caring for her terminally ill partner, and the profound spiritual lessons she learned through grief. She discusses her innate ability to read a room (a skill she’s had since childhood) and how she used telepathic intuition to communicate with her partner after a stroke took her ability to speak.

Corissa and Tabatha dive deep into the power of language, specifically why words are spells that create our reality. Tabatha explains how she reclaimed the word bitch from a slur into an acronym for high-performance leadership: Brave, Intelligent, Tenacious, Creative, and Honest.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Words are Spells Philosophy: How Tabatha refused to accept a doctor’s 18-month prognosis for her partner, declaring it an impossibility and how that shifted their reality.
• Intuition as a Business Skill: How Tabatha uses her BS Meter (which stands for Blame and Shame) to identify where leaders are shrinking themselves.
• The Telepathy of Caregiving: How to communicate with a loved one when words are gone, and knowing that the connection continues after death.
• Reclaiming B.I.T.C.H.: Why we need to stop letting other people’s labels define us and rewrite our own definitions of power.
• The Wounded Healer in Leadership: Why the best mentors aren't the ones with perfect lives, but the ones who have walked through the fire.
