Liv Chapman is the Co-Founder and CEO of Inner Glow Circle (IGC), an online training company designed to accelerate women coaches and entrepreneurs — and one of the fastest-growing businesses in the coaching space. Liv joined IGC in 2015, after a chance meeting with founder Katie DePaola a few years prior.

As a Washington, DC public school teacher overwhelmed with her students’ needs, her own student loans and the constraints of public education, Liv went searching for a deeper life purpose. She realized she had run her life on what other people said she “should” do, but had completely ignored what she wanted to do.

One day, she drove to the beach, and on the way, broke up with her boyfriend and quit her teaching job. What did she really want? And what could she do that she loved, but also paid the bills? She was determined to get to the bottom of those questions.

In the pursuit of purpose and profit, Liv found coaching. Within a few years of starting her private practice, Liv was asked to bring her education and training background to Inner Glow Circle.

Today, Liv manages and guides our entire IGC Team and vision— of course, with healthy profit margins and plenty of room for fun. She teaches women how to shift their “shoulds” into true desire and use their life challenges as a platform to make money and do work they love. She trains thousands of women across the world on how to find their purpose, live it and actually get paid.

Liv’s first book Old Soul, New Money is set to be published in by Hay House in the coming year. In it, Liv shares her most real (and often humorous) reflections on how to deal with the chaos of life and business — and her best advice for women who want to find their purpose, live it and get paid.

My post-teaching career has been an incredible journey—a true testament to the power of reinvention. Today, I’m the CEO of IGC Coaching School, where I’ve played a key role in creating and evolving our programs, curriculums, and business strategies. I’m passionate about helping our students build purposeful and profitable businesses—and I’m known for helping them turn their passions into their paychecks.

But that’s just one part of my story.

I’ve been called a master of reinvention and believe that we can rise from our lowest points and with support and community, even rock bottom can be a starting point of success. From being a highly-awarded (yet completely burnt out) elementary school teacher to building a thriving coaching business, I’ve learned how to pivot, adapt, and thrive. With a Bachelor’s in Education, a Master’s in Educational Leadership and Administration, and a PCC ICF Credential, I’ve used every skill I’ve gained along the way to empower world changers to turn their dreams into reality.

My journey has taught me resilience, self-trust, and how to turn challenges into opportunities. Transitioning from teaching to entrepreneurship wasn’t easy, but it was the best decision I ever made. It allowed me to build a life and career that’s aligned with my deepest values and biggest dreams.

Since stepping into the role of CEO in 2021, I’ve focused on designing transformative curriculums, enhancing our students learning experiences, supporting a dynamic and diverse team and building a business that’s not only profitable but deeply impactful. My mission is to show women that they can have it all: purpose, freedom, fulfillment, and yes, even a little fun along the way.

At the end of the day, I’m a blend of focus and drive with a love for life’s simple joys—whether it’s cheering on the people I care about, watching football with my boys, or the perfect coffee on a quiet morning.

Reinvention isn’t just my story—it’s my superpower. I can’t wait to see what’s next for me, for IGC, and for all the incredible women we serve.
