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
