A behind-the-scenes conversation about what it actually feels like to build a practice in the early stages — where there’s effort, consistency, and momentum, but still a lot of uncertainty around what’s actually working.

In this episode, I’m joined by Ellie Hyvonen, a life and health coach who supports driven, perfectionistic women in reconnecting with their energy, building sustainable habits, and creating a more aligned way of living.

What we explored:
• Why building a client base is harder than most certifications prepare you for
• The gap between taking action and knowing if it’s the “right” action
• How word-of-mouth and real-life connection are driving early traction
• Why trying multiple strategies is part of the startup phase (not a failure)
• The importance of real conversations over perfect content or systems

In the early stages of building a practice, the work isn’t about doing everything perfectly — it’s about staying in the process long enough to find what actually works.
