You've been coaching long enough to know this works. But life has a way of putting your business on the back burner, and suddenly months (or years) have gone by. The good news? You don't need a wide-open schedule to rebuild momentum. You need a better plan for the hours you actually have. In this episode, I'm breaking down why time constraints can work in your favor, what to stop spending those precious hours on, and what to focus on instead when you only have 2 to 3 hours a week to grow your practice.

A health coach recently donated a three-month coaching package to a school auction. Not one person bid on it, even after they dropped the price to $150. If you've been hearing my warnings that nobody wants health coaching, this is exactly what I'm talking about. In this episode, I'm getting honest about why health coaches struggle to get clients, even when they have a great niche, a program, a newsletter, and a heart of gold. Inside this episode: Why "wellness that lasts" and "peace with food" aren't things people will pay for The real reason your messaging isn't landing (it's not you, it's...

Years ago, a very quiet young woman walked into one of my very first workshops at a local yoga studio. She wasn't searching for a health coach. In fact, she had never even heard of one. But she was in the room, and I was in the room, and that one hour changed the entire direction of her life. This story (and many others from my own private practice) is why I believe workshops are the fastest way to get health coaching clients, and why I think they matter more today than they ever have. Inside this episode: Why workshops work better than social media or a website for getting clients fast The...

She stopped spending weeks on Instagram reels and online courses. She started doing the things that actually moved the needle: narrowing her niche, refining her offer, getting on the phone with people who needed her. By January of this...

ChatGPT Health launched, and the health coaching community is buzzing. Some coaches are terrified. Others are dismissive. A few are genuinely curious. But here's what matters: when information is instant, unlimited, and free, what are people actually paying you for?

A human who could see the whole picture. Someone brave enough to challenge her beliefs about weight loss and happiness. One question changed everything. Within...
