👉 Why do some health coaches make money… while others stay stuck?

It’s easy to assume it comes down to strategy, marketing, or consistency.

But more often, the difference comes from something less visible:

Self-doubt
Overthinking
Second-guessing
And not fully trusting yourself to move forward

At a certain point, building a coaching business isn’t about learning more.

It’s about what’s happening underneath how you show up.

In this episode, I walk through:

– what actually determines your income as a health coach
– the patterns that keep capable practitioners stuck
– and what allows some people to move forward while others don’t

If you feel like you’re not ready yet to fully step into your coaching business… this might be why.

A lot of health practitioners and coaches stay stuck in “learning mode”—thinking they need more knowledge, more certifications, or more clarity before they can really move forward.

But at a certain point, learning becomes a way of avoiding the very thing that actually builds confidence: doing the work.

In this episode, I talk about:
– why this pattern happens
– how it keeps you stuck
– and what actually helps you move forward

If you hate selling your coaching services, it’s not a sign you should quit your business. It’s a sign something is off.

Usually, it’s one of these 3 things:

1. You don’t fully believe in your offer
2. Your message or ideal client isn’t quite right
3. You’re trying to market in a way that doesn’t fit you

Most health coaches think: “I just need to get better at selling.” But that’s not actually the problem.

You need a way of getting clients that works for you — your strengths, your energy, your way of connecting. Not louder. Not pushier. Not pretending to be someone you’re not.

In this episode, I break down exactly how to find that method.

If you’re a health practitioner craving more freedom, fulfillment, and a business that feels like you, Christina’s story will inspire you.

Are you stuck chasing every new marketing strategy instead of building a sustainable coaching business? You're not alone.

This week I'm sitting down with my past client, Diane, a physical therapist who dabbled in BeachBody (does that still exist? 😆) before becoming a successful emotional eating coach. She's been coaching since 2019 and has learned some hard-won lessons about what actually works.

In this conversation, we dive into:

✅ The biggest challenge new health coaches face that no one's really talking about
✅ How to avoid the shiny object syndrome trap that wastes so much time and money
✅ Why social media is NOT the best marketing strategy right now (and what's working instead)
✅ How learning to trust your inner voice can completely change your business and your life

Denise's wisdom is both practical and deeply grounded — the kind that reminds you what truly matters in business and in life.

If you're a health practitioner or coach feeling overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice out there, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually moves the needle.

Meet Susannah — a yoga teacher turned health coach — whose business completely took off once she got clear on her niche: 💪 helping women increase bone density.

Since then, she’s grown her Facebook group to **46K members** and her YouTube channel to almost **13K subscribers**. 🙌

What’s most inspiring?
She did it all by showing up *authentically* — sharing her personal story, leaning into her expertise, and staying consistent…
Even though she calls herself “technically challenged.” 😅

In our chat, she shares:
✨ How following her vision (even when it felt scary) paid off
✨ Why hiring help can free you up to do what you love
✨ And how clarity on your ideal client changes everything

Because of this, she sold **400+ ebooks at $19.99** the moment she launched! 🎉

Her story is proof that you *don’t* need to be techy or flashy to grow a thriving coaching business — just clear and consistent.

Here’s the truth 👇
Very few coaches are actually finding clients from social media.

And honestly? That’s good news.
Because the BEST way to grow your business is through real connections + referrals.

✨ They’re more fun.
✨ They’re more effective.
✨ And your clients come to you already “pre-sold” because someone they trust recommended you.

This week on YouTube, I interviewed Rose, a former teacher turned health coach for premenopausal + menopausal women. 💛

She shares:
✔️ How she built her business without relying on social media
✔️ Why referrals have been such a powerful growth strategy
✔️ The game-changing referral partnership she built with her doctor

What does it really take to build a thriving health coaching business?
It’s not complicated—it comes down to 3 key ingredients:

✨ Confidence in your process + the results you help clients achieve
✨ A genuine passion + connection to your work
✨ Clear communication (and eventually letting client wins do the talking)

My client Lewis is proof. 👏
He went from physician assistant to health coach after watching his wife reverse diabetes through lifestyle changes.

Fast forward 2 years…
🔥 His clients are seeing blood sugar + A1C improvements in DAYS
🔥 He’s launched a group program + membership
🔥 His YouTube channel is growing so fast, he even gets recognized in public

For the men out there—this is your sign: we need more male health coaches! 💪

I sat down with Lewis to talk about how he built his business, his biggest lessons, and what’s next.
