Fourteen years ago, I took a huge leap of faith by quitting my corporate job and enrolling in nutrition school. In a matter of 6 months, I pivoted from being a fundraising professional at a national nonprofit to running my own health coaching practice. It took a lot of work and learning to get from there to here, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. 

Since becoming a health coach, I’ve built two successful online businesses, retired my husband, bush camped through Southern Africa for 3 months, and moved my family to a beach town in Costa Rica for 7 months. None of this would have happened if I hadn’t taken the chance on becoming my own boss all those years ago.

If you’re curious about how becoming a health coach might shift your life, listen in to find out all the ways my life has changed since I signed up for nutrition school over 14 years ago.

One of the biggest challenges I face in my business is finding time to work on creative projects. I often get caught up in the day-to-day operations, and it can be tough to carve out time and space for bigger things.

That’s why I took myself on a 2-day work getaway. I booked a condo right on the ocean, and I had a serious plan for what I wanted to get done. How’d I do? Well, you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out.

Have you ever conducted a year-end review for your health coaching practice? If not, you’re not alone - but I want to change that! Annual reviews are a great opportunity to take a look back at your business over the year to figure out what worked and what didn’t. Knowing both of these things is really important as you head into a New Year as they make it easier to decide what to focus on next. 

If you’ve never run an annual review, but you’re curious about how it could help your business, take a listen to this episode as I walk you through the annual review process, step-by-step. They don’t have to be complicated but they can make a huge difference in how you plan for the upcoming year.

One of my favorite methods of learning is connecting with other coaches to hear what’s working for them. There’s nothing quite like a conversation with a colleague to get the wheels turning for me!

In this episode, I interview Michelle Cox, a health coach, and Detox Done client. In this conversation, Michelle shares how she’s built her health coaching practice, how she uses Detox Done in her business, and the mistake she won’t make again.

At some point or another, most health coaches consider hiring a business coach. It actually makes a lot of sense to work with someone who can help you figure out how to grow your business! 

But how do you choose the business coach that’s right for you? It can be tough to know which person or program to choose, especially if you’ve never hired someone before. 

In today’s episode, listen in to find out the checklist I use to hire business coaches for myself, as well as the biggest mistake I’ve made in hiring coaches that I still regret.

Like so many other entrepreneurs and coaches, I’m in the middle of raising my two young sons, aged 8 and 4. If you have kids, you’ll know that things have changed since we were kids! 

I have to say I’m glad about that - I think there’s more space to see children as independent people, and to allow them to have their own ideas and emotions. In my experience, that’s exactly what coaching is about, too!

The best coaching relationships I’ve ever had are the ones based on mutual respect and trust. There’s one question I use with my kids that builds both - and it works for coaching, too! Listen in to find out what it is and how I use it.

The most stressed-out people I know are other entrepreneurs. Maybe it’s the pressure of making decisions every day, or maybe it’s the up-and-down roller coaster that comes with running your own business. 

Whatever it is, I know that managing stress is a huge piece of having success as a solopreneur. The truth is that this work is hard, and it’s isolating, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed and feel like nothing is working. 

That’s why this is a conversation that needs to get normalized. There’s no point in pretending that everything’s okay when it isn’t, but there are some strategies you can implement that will help you manage your stress more easily on a day-to-day basis.

Have you ever considered selling your coaching programs before you create them? I know that sounds wacky, but it’s honestly one of the BEST ways to create successful coaching programs. 

I see so many coaches working really hard on their coaching programs, but then getting let down when the program doesn’t sell. Pre-selling solves that problem!

In this episode, I’m going to explain exactly how you can create coaching programs and sign clients BEFORE you’ve fully created your coaching program. You’ll learn how to sell your program in advance of releasing it, as well as how you can make sure your program meets all of your clients' needs so they become your biggest fans. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!
