In this episode of Six Figure Certified, Olivia Chapman sits down with business and mindset coach Sandy Patterson to unpack one of the most common coaching questions out there: How do I take what I’m already good at and turn it into a coaching business that actually works? Sandy shares her path from 14 years in a kindergarten classroom to building a full-time coaching business, and why her “teacher skills” ended up being the secret weapon.

Sandy opens up about teaching through COVID, the burnout that crept in quietly, and the exact conversation with her kids that made her draw a hard line and choose a new path, even before she knew what the path was. She also breaks down what her first coaching package looked like, how she refined it over time, and what her days look like now as a mom and business owner who built a schedule that actually fits her life.

If you are a teacher, an educator, or a woman who knows she is meant for more but feels stuck in the “I don’t even know where to start” spiral, this episode is the nudge. Not the fluffy kind. The kind that gets you moving.
