In this episode, as I watch my first snowfall in Chattanooga, I share about my fruitful experience leading a beta group coaching session for aspiring health coaches. I had the joy of mentoring a vibrant group of women, equipping them with the tools to launch and develop their health coaching businesses. From the ins and outs of email marketing to the finer points of client management, the conversation blossomed into much more than just business advice. It became a candid exchange of stories and strategies. 

I realized I wanted to follow this path and see where it leads. So, you'll hear more topics on the podcast about starting and growing your coaching business. In order to give me time and space in my schedule to build out my new business ideas,  I'll also just drop one episode per month (for now!). For anyone poised on the brink of health coaching or entrepreneurship, these episodes will offer a blend of inspiration, practical guidance, and a glimpse into the genuine satisfaction of helping others forge their path.

Ever feel like your 40s might just be the beginning of something extraordinary? This episode is brimming with affirmation and strategy, as I chat with the indomitable Melissa Fougere, a business coach who's passionate about guiding women over 40 to entrepreneurial success. We're ripping up the rulebook that says starting a business is a young person's game; instead, we're sharing how life's rich tapestry of experiences can set you up for remarkable achievements in your ventures.

Are you a health coach teetering on the edge of launching your practice but uncertain about where to start? Together with Melissa, we unravel the pivotal steps you need to transition from certification to creating a business that's not just successful, but also resonates deeply with your personal 'why'. We stress the importance of laying a solid foundation, pinpointing your ideal client, and ensuring your work doesn't just turn into another 9-to-5 but continues to spark joy and inspiration every day.

And it's not just about setting off on the right foot; it's about maintaining a steady pace towards your business milestones. In our exchange, we impart the wisdom of patience, allowing more time than you think necessary to reach your goals, and the beauty of evolving them over time. We close by highlighting Melissa's engagement with LinkedIn and Medium.com, and talk about how these platforms can amplify your business presence. Tune in and take your online savvy to the next level with insights from a seasoned content creator.

This year has been a rollercoaster, and I'm taking you along for the ride, from the thrill of a new role in 2022 to the sudden drop into unemployment in 2023.  Alongside the highs of an amazing trip to Maine, brace yourself for the lows, including an intense battle with post-surgery recovery that threw me an unexpected curveball.

Life's unpredictability hit home this year, and I found myself grappling with it under the strain of severe pain leading to an ER visit during Labor Day weekend. As I share the details of my hospital stay and fight against an infection, you'll hear about the angels in my life, Cindy and Hillary – friends who were the lifeline I clung to when my health and peace of mind were on the line. Their support is a testament to the strength we find in our community and a reminder to listen to our bodies, even when they tell us things we don't want to hear.

As we edge closer to the holidays, I'm sharing my journey through a tumultuous 2023, from serious health scares to navigating the maze of health insurance during job transitions. But it's not all doom and gloom; there are moments of triumph and lessons in resilience. I extend to YOU a heartfelt invitation to connect and share your own tales of perseverance, as we look to wrap up this year with hope and step into 2024 ready for whatever comes our way. Join me, and let's embrace the spirit of renewal and the promise of brighter days ahead.

What if you could not only manage the shifts of menopause, but actually thrive during this transition? Ladies, you're in for a treat, as I unravel the power of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) during perimenopause and post-menopause. We dive into the science behind HIIT, and how it's not just a fantastic energy booster, but also a tool to improve insulin sensitivity and tackle that stubborn visceral fat. 

More than that, I'll shed light on why keeping those intense intervals short is the real game-changer, and give you fresh and fun ways of incorporating HIIT into your routine. ... Warm-ups are your best friend, so remember to never skip them!

Aging might be inevitable, but slowing down isn't. There's a world of benefits that HIIT can bring to older individuals - and I'm excited to share that with you. Also, just because it's high intensity, doesn't mean it's high impact. HIIT can flexibly fit into your life. Whether you're a pool person or a cycling enthusiast, it's got you covered. 

I'll reveal why agility is your secret weapon against falls and injuries as you age, and how HIIT helps you maintain it. Starting slow and keeping a balance is key, so I'll guide you on how to best incorporate HIIT into your workout regime. 

So, don't fret if you have any questions or concerns, I'm here for you. Remember, it's never too late to adopt a healthier lifestyle. It's always a good time to reach out, get active, and embrace the power of HIIT.
