If you're a health or life coach who wants more clients without living on social media, this one's for you. A couple of my recent clients found me through ChatGPT, and it turns out AI search could be one of the best things to happen for sensitive coaches.

In this week's episode, I share how people are now using AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini to find a coach, why your deep, nuanced content already puts you ahead of the curve, and five simple things you can do to help AI find you and understand what you do. No rewriting your website for the bots required.

Tune in to learn:

• How the way clients search has shifted from short keywords to long, messy, detailed questions
• Why AI search is such good news if you're a highly sensitive coach who loves depth and nuance
• The five things that help AI find you (and understand who you help)
• The quick technical check that could be stopping your website showing up in AI
• A simple test you can do this week to see what AI knows about you (and where I landed when I tried it!)

Trying to grow your coaching business while working full time can feel like a lot. You've only got a few precious hours a week, and it's hard to know how to make them count so your business actually grows.

In this week's episode, I'm sharing the step-by-step plan I'd follow if I were growing a coaching business alongside a full-time job again (I've been there!). We look at how to find the time, what to focus on, and how to know when it's time to make the leap.

Tune in to learn:

• Why getting clear on your end goal (full time, part time, multi-hyphenate or later in life) shapes everything else
• How to carve out business time slots, and actually protect them
• Why a lack of time often isn't the real problem when you sit down to work
• The client delivery bottleneck that keeps so many coaches on a rollercoaster, and how to avoid it
• How to define your tipping point, so you know when to reduce your hours or leave your job

If you're a heart-centred health or life coach, you've probably bought courses and programs that promised the world and left you implementing everything on your own. You deserve to know exactly what you're signing up for before you invest in business support.

In this week's episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my signature programme, Wholehearted Business®. I walk you through how it's structured, the six-area framework we use to build your client attraction system, and exactly how much it costs, so you can see how I help highly sensitive and neurodivergent coaches attract clients consistently even when they can't show up consistently.

Tune in to learn:

• Why Wholehearted Business® runs for 12 months (and why I'll never promise to transform your business in six weeks)
• How the high-touch support works, from voice note coaching to one-to-one calls
• The six key areas of the Wholehearted Business® framework
• What's included, from group calls and co-working to personal reviews of your sales pages and emails
• Real client results, and the full pricing for both options

‘The programme has been fantastic at helping me set goals, and prioritise tasks effectively. It has been great at giving me all the tools to ensure that my foundations are solid, and Laura's support has been invaluable at keeping me on track and helping me understand what is my next step so that I don't feel stuck or overwhelmed’

‘The courses are all great, and I LOVE that you get Laura's eyes on your stuff once a month- that video feedback is GOLD! It's so reassuring and helpful. But I think a HUGE factor that has helped me is the community. The live group calls are fantastic. It's intimate, supportive and great for motivation and accountability. I always felt better after the calls. No exception.’

Secure your spot in the Steady Masterclass

No new enquiries. No discovery calls. Your clients coming to the end of their packages with nobody lined up behind them. If your coaching business has gone quiet and you're in full panic mode, I promise you're not the only one and I have absolutely been there myself.

In this week's episode I'm breaking down what's actually happening when things go quiet, why it hits highly sensitive and neurodivergent coaches so much harder, the three panic moves to avoid, and the things you can genuinely do to get enquiries moving again.

Tune in to learn:

• Why your results right now are based on what you were doing three to six months ago
• The three things not to do when clients dry up (and why creating a new offer is rarely the answer)
• Four practical ways to get client conversations happening again this week
• The mindset question that can quietly unblock the whole thing
• Why quick fixes alone will land you right back here in another few months

If you're a health or life coach, chances are there's a question sitting in the back of your mind most days: where on earth do I actually find clients? And the usual answer is post more, network more, DM more. Which, if you're highly sensitive, feels absolutely awful.

So I tracked it. Every single client enquiry over the last 12 months, with an actual spreadsheet and percentages. In this week's episode I'm sharing the full breakdown, including the bit that surprised me and the bit that didn't surprise me at all.

Tune in to learn:

• The percentage breakdown of where my client enquiries came from over the last 12 months
• Why not a single client came from posting on Instagram, Facebook or sliding into DMs
• The two platforms doing almost all of the heavy lifting, and why they suit sensitive coaches so well
• How people are quietly starting to find me through ChatGPT and AI search
• Where paid ads fit alongside organic content, honestly and without the hype
• What a spontaneous client enquiry is, and why it's the thing to build towards

If you stepped away from your coaching business for two weeks, what would still be working when you came back? For a lot of heart-led and highly sensitive coaches the honest answer is nothing, and coming back always feels like starting from zero. That's not a discipline problem, it's a design problem.

In this week's episode I walk you through building a steady marketing plan that works when you can't. We map your capacity into three tiers and sort out exactly which marketing activities belong in each one, so your business keeps bringing people in even during your lowest weeks.

Tune in to learn:

• How to map your capacity into three tiers, and what each tier is actually for
• The marketing that keeps working when you're not working, and why it compounds
• Why social media, DMs and networking belong in your highest capacity weeks and not your normal ones
• What to have running in the background so you never come back from a break at zero

Grab the free workbook that accompanies this episode to map your own three tiers.

Tune in to learn:

• Why "being consistent" is genuinely harder if you're heart-centred, highly sensitive or neurodivergent
• The real difference between being consistent and having a consistent business
• Why sustainability, not consistency, should be your focus
• How your business model can make or break your ability to show up
• What a truly steady coaching business actually feels like

Ever scrolled past an ad promising you can make multiple six figures as a coach and wondered if it's actually true? I did too, and it wound me up enough to screenshot the whole thing and break it down for you.

In this week's episode I go slide by slide through a real Instagram ad from a coach claiming huge income growth in a matter of months, and we look honestly at what's realistic, what's misleading, and where the ethical lines sit in coaching industry marketing.

Tune in to learn:

• Why big, fast income claims should make you pause before you believe them
• What actually determines whether you can sell high-ticket coaching packages (hint: it's not a five-step process)
• Why building your whole business on one platform is a risky bet
• The difference between a coach who genuinely delivers and one who's mastered clever marketing
• How to build discernment so you can make informed choices about where you invest
