A few years ago I was living what most business coaches would call the dream. A six figure year, six months in a campervan, barely working, all of it carried by one premium program I sold for $5,000.

I don't sell that program anymore. And in this episode, I'm telling you why.

I'm taking you inside the rooms most coaches never talk about. The $20,000 mastermind where I learned to sell high ticket. The program I paid $1,200 a month for that gave me maybe five minutes of actual coaching per call, and what it taught me about who really carries the risk when you invest in a program.

If you've ever spent money on a program that disappointed you, if you've ever felt that icky feeling around selling and been told it's a mindset problem, or if you're building your own offers and wondering how to price them without becoming everything you can't stand about this industry, this episode is for you.

I just got back from nearly three weeks in the Dolomites, travelling with my dog Luna in a campervan, and my freebie funnel kept running the entire time without me touching it. No big team, no weeks of preparation, just a handful of emails scheduled in advance and a system that was already built to work on its own.

In this episode, I break down exactly how that funnel works. Why a freebie has to solve one specific problem and lead naturally into your paid offer, what I put on the thank you page the second someone signs up, why I stopped waiting weeks before making an offer, and the email sequence I built that gives people two honest chances to say yes instead of one. I also talk about why so many yoga teachers give up on their freebie or their funnel too early, and why in almost every case, it's not the funnel that's broken. It's a traffic problem.

If your list is growing but the sales aren't following, this episode walks through what to check first.

If you've been doing everything right — the freebie, the online course, the social media content — and it still feels like nothing is adding up, this episode is for you. Not because you're doing it wrong, but because the landscape has genuinely shifted, and most of the advice people are still following hasn't caught up yet.

In this episode, I'm talking about why the old model (create a course, do a big launch, repeat) is creating so much frustration right now, what I call the trust recession and why it changes everything, and what a business built for 2026 actually looks like.

We cover:

➡️ Why your freebie, your offer, and your content aren't creating momentum even when each one is good on its own

➡️ The trust recession and why the jump from a freebie to a $1,000 program has become a much bigger ask than it used to be

➡️ The "easy yes" offer (between $27 and $97) and why it's the missing piece for most yoga teachers right now

➡️ The sales momentum piece most teachers skip, and why it's what makes everything else work
