  • 10 Ways to Make $10K in the Next 10 Days

    Last summer, I was reading We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers. And there was one page that completely changed how I think about money in my business.

    The idea: if you want to make ten thousand more dollars, just go make it. Stop treating your income like something that happens to you and go create it on purpose.

    My first reaction was: that's insane. There's no funnel, no launch runway, no strategy. That's not how this works.

    My second reaction was: wait. Why not me?

    Within 1 week, I made roughly $15,000 more than I was on track to make. From a decision.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the ten specific ways to create income in your coaching business right now - not next quarter, not after you fix your content, not once you have more followers. Right now. With whatever days are left in this month.

    You can create the income you want right now. This episode is going to show you how!

  • The 3 Things I Put in Place Before I Left My 9-5 (That Most Fitness Coaches Completely Ignore)

    Most fitness coaches picture leaving their 9-5 like this: hit a certain revenue number, feel ready, put in your notice, freedom.

    That's the version that gets posted about on social media, and that's not what happens at all.

    In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the 3 specific things I had in place before I left...things most online fitness coaches never even think about:

    If you're working toward leaving your 9-5 or you've already left, and you're trying to make it sustainable...this episode is for you!

  • Why Fitness Coaches Are Beasts in Training and Inconsistent in Business

    You wake up at 5am for your training. You follow the plan even when you're tired. You don't skip sessions because you're busy or because you're not sure if it's going to work.

    That's who you are as an athlete.

    Now think about your business.

    Do you show up for it the same way?

    Because most fitness coaches are two completely different people...a disciplined, committed athlete and an inconsistent, avoidant business owner. And the gap between those two versions is costing them more than they realize.

    This episode is about that gap. And how to close it.

    We're getting into:

    • Why you already have the self-belief you need - you just haven't applied it to your business yet
    • What the gap actually looks like in practice
    • Why your business performs exactly as inconsistently as you show up for it
    • The identity shift from fitness coach to CEO - and what it actually takes to make it
    • How to apply the same standards to your business that you apply to your training

    If you've ever wondered why you can do the hardest things in the gym but can't seem to show up consistently in your business...this episode is going to hit!

  • A 1:1 Roster Is Not a Business Model (Here's What Is)

    A 1:1 roster is not a business model.

    It doesn't matter if you have 5 clients or 50. If every offer you have still costs you your time, your energy, and you being available...you don't have a business model. You have a drain.

    And most fitness coaches are building this way from day one without even knowing it.

    In this episode, I'm breaking down:

    • Why a roster of 1:1 clients has a ceiling baked into it - no matter how full it gets
    • The massive difference between selling packages and having an actual tiered business model (nobody is teaching this)
    • The 3-tier model I built called Built to Breathe - and how it changes what each client actually costs you
    • What to start building now so your business has room to grow without burning you out

    Whether you have 3 clients or 30...this episode will change how you think about what you're building!

  • 3 Client Experience Strategies Every Online Health + Fitness Coach Needs to Hit 6 Figures

    When most health and fitness coaches hear "client experience" they think: check in on your clients, respond quickly, remember their kids' names.


    That's not a client experience strategy. That's baseline human decency!


    Client experience is not a personality trait. It's an intentional daily strategy. And the coaches who treat it that way are building businesses that SKYROCKET to 6 figures.


    In this episode, I'm breaking down three client experience strategies that nobody is teaching.


    Plus, the financial case for why this matters: a 5% improvement in retention increases your profits by 25-100%. Not revenue…PROFITS!


    If you're tired of clients leaving after 3-6 months and having to constantly replace them…this episode will change how you think about your business.

  • “Casual Content”: 4 Types of Content to Build a 6-Figure Online Fitness Business

    I’ve built two 6-figure businesses, and neither was built by going viral.


    In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact four types of content that built everything, once as a run coach, and now as a business mentor for health and fitness coaches.


    No massive audience required. No daily posting. No Gymshark aesthetic (IYKYK).


    Just four types of casual content, done consistently, by someone who actually has something to say!


    I’m covering all four and how they can work together to create an ecosystem that builds know, like, trust faster than ANY viral post ever could.


    This is the episode for the coach who's been overcomplicating content and needs to hear that simply being YOURSELF is enough.

  • Everything I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Hit $100K

    You want to hit $100K. Maybe you're close. Maybe you've been close for a while. Maybe you're growing, but not at the rate you thought you would be by now.


    I built my first six-figure business in 3 years. My second one in 12 months. Completely different result…because the second time I actually understood what was in the way.


    In this episode, I'm breaking down the three things I wish someone had told me before I hit $100K the first time!


    If you're a health & fitness coach who knows you're good at what you do, but the number just isn't there yet…this one's for you.

  • The Business Model That Let Me Travel More and Make More

    Last quarter was my best quarter ever in business.

    Not my best quarter, where I was locked in, grinding, nose to the grindstone, sacrificing everything.

    My best quarter where I was traveling more than I ever have. Training. Living my actual life.

    And I used to think that was impossible. I genuinely believed that more money meant more work. 

    I built an entire business on that belief for years. And it almost broke me.


    In this episode, I'm breaking down what actually changed:

    • Why a full roster of 1:1 clients is the worst way to grow
    • The shift from flat roster to tiered model (and what that actually means)
    • How my income stopped being dependent on how many hours I worked
    • What happens when you build a model that works whether you're on a plane or not


    If you're a fitness coach working your butt off right now and still not hitting the numbers you want…this episode is for you!

  • How Former Athletes Actually Build an Athletic Body Again (ft. Kendra Lahue)

    In this episode, I’m joined by Kendra Lahue - a strength & nutrition coach for former athletes rebuilding their body, strength, and confidence.


    As a former college athlete herself, we dive into the phase of life that no one prepares you for when you’re in your adult life.


    Your sport ends, the structure disappears, and suddenly:

    -you’re training hard…but not seeing it-you don’t feel like yourself in your body-and nothing is really *CLICKING* the way it used to


    This conversation goes way deeper than workouts.


    We get into:-why so many former athletes feel off after sports (even years later)-the all-in / all-out cycle with training and nutrition-why “just working out” doesn’t fix the problem-and what it actually looks like to rebuild an athletic body in this phase of life


    If you’ve ever thought: “I don’t feel like myself anymore” or “I know how to work hard…so why isn’t this working?” This episode is going to hit!

  • What to Do When You Hate Creating Content

    You do not have to love content to grow your business.

    In this episode, I'm talking to the coach who dreads posting, overthinks every caption, and feels like content has become this giant emotional event every single week.

    We get into why you probably don't actually hate content...you hate the way you're trying to do it...and the exact shifts that make it easier, lighter, and way more strategic.


    We're covering:

    • Why content is a business function, not a creative outlet (and why that reframe changes everything)
    • The 3 reasons you actually hate creating content (spoiler: it's not because you're lazy)
    • How to stop starting from a blank screen every time you need to post
    • The 6-step system that makes content suck way less
    • Why repetition builds trust faster than trying to be original every time


    If content has been feeling heavier than it needs to, this one's for you!
