Ep 374The Uncomfortable Truth About Health Coaching & What Needs to Change

A health coach recently donated a three-month coaching package to a school auction. Not one person bid on it, even after they dropped the price to $150. If you've been hearing my warnings that nobody wants health coaching, this is exactly what I'm talking about. In this episode, I'm getting honest about why health coaches struggle to get clients, even when they have a great niche, a program, a newsletter, and a heart of gold. Inside this episode: Why "wellness that lasts" and "peace with food" aren't things people will pay for The real reason your messaging isn't landing (it's not you, it's the promise) Why another certification won't solve your client problem How health coaches have been trained to make themselves smaller and smaller What needs to change about the way you talk about your work Grab The Good Niche at a special listeners-only rate: https://HealthCoachPower.com/GoodNiche Connect with me: Facebook group: https://HealthCoachPowerCommunity.com/ Website: https://HealthCoachPower.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/HealthCoachPowerCommunity/

Ep 373Use ChatGPT to Build a Hyper-Efficient Health Coaching Business (Without Sounding Like a Robot)

A while back, I went through every subscription and contractor I was paying for in my business and started cutting. About $5,000 a month, gone. But there was one tool I didn't cancel, and I actually doubled down on it. That tool is ChatGPT. And in this episode, I'm introducing you to the person who taught me how to use it the right way. Sarah Cook is a former naturopathic doctor with over 20 years in the wellness space. These days, she helps practitioners stop getting generic, robotic output from ChatGPT and start getting content that actually sounds like them. Inside this episode: Why better prompts will never fix the generic-output problem How to train ChatGPT to actually know your voice, your niche, and your offers over time Why you're the CEO, and ChatGPT is the assistant What a BrandVibe Kit is and why it might you might want to make one In about a year of doing this right, I've saved somewhere around $60,000.

Ep 372The FASTEST Way to Get Health Coaching Clients That No One Talks About

Years ago, a very quiet young woman walked into one of my very first workshops at a local yoga studio. She wasn't searching for a health coach. In fact, she had never even heard of one. But she was in the room, and I was in the room, and that one hour changed the entire direction of her life. This story (and many others from my own private practice) is why I believe workshops are the fastest way to get health coaching clients, and why I think they matter more today than they ever have. Inside this episode: Why workshops work better than social media or a website for getting clients fast The difference between workshops for your existing audience vs. a brand new one How to get booked at a yoga studio, gym, corporate office, or virtual space even when you have zero connections Why you don't need a certification, a slide deck, or even a finished website to start The seven-step framework inside The Right Room that walks you through exactly how to find and pitch the right venues If you've been struggling to find clients, this might finally be the thing that changes your business… Grab The Right Room at a special listeners-only rate: https://HealthCoachPower.com/Room Connect with me: Facebook group: https://HealthCoachPowerCommunity.com/ Website: https://HealthCoachPower.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/HealthCoachPowerCommunity/

Ep 371She Earned Her Entire Previous Year of Health Coaching Income in One Month (While Working Full-Time)

Stephanie Smith spent a year trying to make her health coaching business work. She had clients here and there, tried different offers, and tested different messaging. But the income never matched the effort. So she went back to her job as a pharmacist. And somehow, that was the turning point. Without the financial pressure on her business, she got laser-focused. She stopped spending weeks on Instagram reels and online courses. She started doing the things that actually moved the needle: narrowing her niche, refining her offer, getting on the phone with people who needed her. By January of this year, she earned in one month what she had made in health coaching for the entire previous year. We talk about: The counterintuitive reason her full-time job helped her coaching business grow How she found her niche inside a very specific professional community The direct outreach strategy that has never once gotten a no Why she stopped offering group programs and went all-in on high-ticket 1:1 The mindset shift that changed how she shows up every single day If your health coaching business feels like it's going nowhere, this one is for you. Because Stephanie isn't some overnight success story. She's someone who kept showing up, stayed willing to start over, and finally found what works. 🎯 Ready to grow your coaching business with less time and less tech?

Ep 3703 Steps That Turn Health Coaches into Action-Takers (and How You Can Too)

I announced a free training course that didn't exist yet. On purpose. Sounds reckless, right? But it's actually one of my main strategies for getting anything done in my business. If you've ever wondered why some health coaches seem to move faster, follow through more consistently, and build momentum with paying clients while others stay stuck, this episode breaks down the exact three steps that turn just about anyone into an action-taker.

Ep 369ChatGPT Health & The Future of Health Coaching

ChatGPT Health launched, and the health coaching community is buzzing. Some coaches are terrified. Others are dismissive. A few are genuinely curious. But here's what matters: when information is instant, unlimited, and free, what are people actually paying you for? In this episode, I share the story of a client who came to me wanting to lose weight. She'd been chasing that goal since she was eight years old. But what she really needed? A human who could see the whole picture. Someone brave enough to challenge her beliefs about weight loss and happiness. One question changed everything. Within months, she was climbing to the Mount Everest base camp. We talk about: Why ChatGPT Health is just a data solution (not a magical health coaching robot) The difference between resolving a symptom and fulfilling a dream Why moving toward more interaction with clients is the best path forward How to be more human in your coaching and your marketing If you've been worried about AI replacing health coaching, this episode is for you. Because in a world full of botsAI, being human might just be your biggest competitive advantage. 🎯 Ready to grow your coaching business with less time and less tech?

Ep 368What Getting a Blowout Taught Me About Getting Health Coaching Clients

Your health coaching business might feel hard right now because you're trying to convince people that they need a health coach instead of filling an existing need they're already looking for help with. In this episode, I share what a trip to Drybar taught me about getting clients effortlessly. Spoiler: it has everything to do with solving problems people are already willing to pay for. We talk about: Why Drybar doesn't apologize for only doing blowouts How to become a "category of one" in your health coaching business The difference between what people want (a blowout, pre-pregnancy jeans that fit) vs. what we're selling (health coaching) Why working with clients NOW is the fastest way to figure out your niche If you're tired of convincing people they need you, this episode will show you how to position yourself so clients come to you ready and excited. 🎯 Ready to start working with clients right away?

Ep 367The New Rules of Health Coaching for 2026

The health coaching industry has changed a lot in the last year. If things that used to work suddenly don't anymore, you're not imagining it. The industry hasn't stopped working, but the way people spend their money has changed. In this episode, I'm sharing five rules that are shaping what actually works for health coaches heading into 2026. These insights come from what I'm seeing daily inside Empowered and across my own business. No complicated funnels. No long launches. No endless free content with no return. We cover: Why constant nurturing no longer leads to clients Why launches are losing their impact How generic wellness messaging gets ignored Why real conversations are outperforming automation How to stop trying to sell "health coaching" and focus on real transformation If you want a simpler, more human way to grow your business and start attracting clients again, this episode will give you a clear direction forward.

Ep 366Messy to Money-Making: Real Coaches Who Took Action Before They Were Ready

What actually moves your health coaching business forward? It's usually not intense planning, automations, or perfectly designed systems. In this episode, I'm sharing three real stories from health coaches inside my Empowered mastermind who stopped waiting to feel "ready" and took imperfect action anyway. Each of them made money, signed clients, or uncovered unexpected opportunities by doing things before everything was set up. You'll hear how: Stephanie signed her first VIP pharmacist client before she even had a payment plan set up in Stripe Christina landed a paying client from her very first five-minute mini offer, before her pricing was finalized Heather stopped forcing big online launches and instead used 25 years of industry experience to spark interest from startup CEOs and company leaders These stories all happened recently, and they're honest, messy, and very real. If you've been stuck trying to get everything organized before you finally put yourself out there, hopefully this episode will help give you the confidence to take action! 🎯 Want help taking your own messy first steps?

Ep 365From Side Hustle to Full-Time Coach in 12 Months with Shannon Hanson

This week I'm sharing a conversation with women's fitness and transformation coach Shannon Hanson, who made the switch from restaurant manager to full-time coach in exactly one year. In this episode, Shannon walks us through what happened during that year, including the parts most coaches skip over. She shares what it was like announcing her new career before she felt fully ready, why her early "I help everyone" approach fell flat, and how choosing to focus on women over 40 suddenly made outreach much easier. We got into the promotion that brought her nine new clients, the beta program that taught her a few hard lessons, and the day she realized she really didn't need her job anymore. In this episode, we talk about: What it really looks like to build a business from scratch Why niching down works even when it feels limiting How she got her first clients and the emotional rollercoaster that came with it Why picking a quit date helped her actually follow through 🎯 Want help making health coaching your full-time thing?

Ep 364Less Dogma, More Clients: Coaching That Works in the Real World

Ever feel pressure to fit into a certain "nutrition camp" or act like an online guru just to be seen as legit? Erin Power has been a practicing health coach for over a decade, working mostly with women in their 40s and 50s who've spent a lifetime dieting and are exhausted by the whole thing. She's also the coaching director at Primal Health Coach Institute, where she trains coaches in both the methodology and mindset of real-world coaching. In this episode, Erin and Michelle talk about coaching from a primal/ancestral perspective without falling into dogma, and what it really takes to help women lose weight in midlife. You'll hear how Erin intentionally works in longer coaching containers, what she does when clients don't lose weight right away, and why she believes most of the work is emotional—not just nutritional. You'll learn: What "primal" really means (and how it's evolved over the years) Why women 40+ often need more time and more compassion, not harsher rules The three emotions Erin coaches through most: frustration, discouragement, disappointment How she supports a plant-based client within a mostly animal-protein-forward philosophy Why repeating your core message online builds trust and attracts the right clients 🎯 Want help turning health coaching into your main thing?
