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!

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

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
