  • If you've ever wondered why coaching feels natural but marketing, networking, pricing, and getting clients feels like an uphill battle, this episode is for you. I don't think it's because you're bad at business. I think it's because nobody ever taught you how to build one. Most coaches have been coaching unofficially for years—in their churches, workplaces, communities, and families—long before they ever earned a coaching certification. Coaching isn't the new skill. The business of coaching is.

    In this episode, I share two stories from my years as a fitness coach that completely changed the way I think about business. One is about a business coach who walked into my gym and bluntly told me, "Your gym is weird." The other is about a client who couldn't hop because she simply hadn't done it in decades. Both stories reveal the same truth: we can't see our own blind spots, and we shouldn't expect ourselves to instinctively know skills we've never been taught. That's exactly what happens to so many coaches trying to build a business.

    If you're ready to stop guessing and build a coaching business that's designed around your strengths instead of someone else's formula, schedule a conversation with me about my Personal Masterclass in Your Coaching Business beginning July 15.

    All that starts with a conversation. Let’s talk! www.endotype.com/calendar-30

  • What if the thing holding your business back isn't a lack of strategy, confidence, or effort?

    What if some of the challenges you're experiencing around visibility, pricing, receiving clients, or growing your business didn't actually start with you?

    In this conversation with Carolina Bakker we explored a fascinating topic that many coaches sense but rarely discuss. Carolina believes that some of the fears, limitations, and protective behaviors showing up in our businesses may be connected to inherited patterns, family conditioning, and survival instincts passed down through generations.

    We talked about why smart, capable coaches often know exactly what they should do but still struggle to do it. We explored the fear of visibility, the discomfort around receiving money, the pressure to earn success, and why so many coaches find themselves repeating the same business patterns despite investing in courses, certifications, and marketing training.

    If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Why do I keep doing this?" or "Why does this feel harder for me than it seems to for everyone else?" this episode offers a completely different lens through which to view your business challenges.

  • You don’t have a strategy problem. You have a trust problem.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason coaches aren’t getting clients—even when they’re doing “all the right things.” We’ve been taught to believe people buy based on logic, information, and credentials. That’s not what’s happening. People buy because they trust you. And in this episode, I walk you through exactly where that trust is being built
 and where you might be quietly losing it.

    We talk about how over-explaining your expertise actually weakens trust, why information-heavy marketing falls flat, and what it really means to be “visible” in a way that makes people want to work with you. I also share examples from networking conversations, websites, and branding decisions that either create connection or shut it down completely.

  • You’ve taken the courses. You’ve hired the coaches. You’ve learned the strategies.So why are you still second-guessing every decision in your coaching business?

    In this episode, I’m digging into something that quietly sabotages even the smartest, most capable coaches: trust. Not the fluffy version of trust—but the real, lived experience of trusting your own decisions when it comes to your marketing, your pricing, and your next steps. I share how “being smart” can actually become a protection mechanism, why so many coaches default to external opinions, and how to start recognizing the difference between true intuition and avoidance.

    We also talk about how to actually practice trust in your business—because most of us were never taught how to listen to ourselves in the first place. Whether you’re constantly tweaking your messaging, changing direction, or feeling stuck between “rest” and “push,” this episode will

  • Are you sitting in decision fatigue right now? You're going to love this episode with Teri Karjala.

    If you’re a coach who keeps second-guessing your next move, wondering if you’re choosing the “right” strategy, or feeling pulled in ten different directions
 this episode is going to land. Teri brings in her background as a Business Success Therapist to talk about something most coaches don’t address directly: the unconscious blocks that keep you stuck fear, overwhelm, self-sabotage, and imposter syndrome.

    We also got into something I see all the time in coaching businesses the difference between talking to people (the marathon) and using things like speaking and media (the sprint). And here’s the truth: most coaches want the sprint without doing the training. That’s where things fall apart.

  • I recently interviewed Clive Enever, and this conversation goes straight to the heart of why so many coaches struggle to get clients, even when they’re good at what they do.

    Clive has been in business and coaching for over 30 years, and what he shared about sales, identity, and “ideal clients” is not what most coaches are being taught. We talked about why demographics don’t define your ideal client, what sales actually is (hint: it’s not persuasion), and how misunderstanding your client’s real needs is what’s quietly killing your conversions.

    If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable selling, unsure who your work is really for, or frustrated that your marketing isn’t landing, this episode will give you a completely different way to look at your business.

    If you’ve ever found yourself staring at your computer thinking, “Why can’t I just get my crap together?” — this episode is for you.

    Shannyn Schroeder is an executive function coach who helps neurodivergent women, especially those with ADHD, build systems that actually work for their brains. We talked about why so many women are getting diagnosed later in life, what executive functioning really looks like in real life (not textbook language), and why traditional business advice often creates more chaos instead of less.

    What I appreciate about Shannyn’s work is how practical it is. She’s not trying to “fix” you and she is not giving you another dumb check list to follow. She’s helping you understand how your brain works so you can build a business that runs even on the days when your energy, focus, or motivation are all over the place.

  • You can have a beautiful website
 and still not get clients.

    In this episode, I answer a simple but powerful question: what’s the one thing your website needs to make people book instead of bounce? After working with hundreds of coaches and hosting over 150 podcast interviews, I’ve seen the same issue over and over again, coaches aren’t clearly explaining the problem they solve in language their clients actually understand.

    We dig into why “confidence coach” and “trauma coach” aren’t enough, how coach-to-coach language is hurting your business, and what it actually sounds like to communicate in a way that makes someone say, “Yes, that’s exactly what I need.”

  • In this episode we get into something that I love talking about. Building and running your business in a way that fits how you operate.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still hitting a wall, this episode will land. Mary brings in Human Design as a way to understand how your energy actually works. We talk about why the standard way of building a business doesn’t work for most coaches, how burnout shows up differently depending on how you’re wired, and what it actually looks like to build something that fits you.

  • I recently interviewed Erin Foley, and if you’ve ever felt like your energy disappeared overnight
 your weight stopped responding
 or your sleep just won’t cooperate anymore—this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

    In this episode with Erin Foley, we’re not talking about surface-level wellness advice. Erin breaks down what’s actually happening in your body after 35, especially the connection between cortisol, blood sugar, and the symptoms most women are frustrated by. So if you have ever felt like your energy disappeared overnight
 your weight stopped responding
 or your sleep just won’t cooperate anymore—this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

    The part that stood out most to me? Most women think they have a hormone problem at the “top of the iceberg”—but the real issue is happening underneath it.

    Erin also shares her unique story of moving from a Chiropractic business to functional medicine practitioner and giving up her clinic. Find out why and how that move was created.

  • Most coaches say yes to collaborations way too quickly—and then wonder why nothing comes from them.

    In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on collaborations: podcasts, summits, workshops, and all the “we should do something together” conversations that show up in your inbox or networking groups. Because the idea sounds great, but the execution? That’s where things fall apart. I share what I’ve learned from saying yes early in my business, what actually made a difference, and how I now evaluate every opportunity that comes my way.

    We talk about marketing plans (or the lack of them), audience size, quality of leadership, and the difference between someone who’s building a business and someone who’s just dabbling. If you’ve ever walked away from a collaboration wondering what the point was, this conversation will give you clarity.

    You don’t need more opportunities—you need better ones.

  • If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not quite saying it right” when you talk about your work you're going to enjoy this interview with Robin Carr.

    Robin talks about being unapologetically yourself, and what I appreciated is that she didn’t make it fluffy. She made it practical. This isn’t about confidence affirmations. It’s about how you talk to yourself, what you tolerate, and whether you’re actually willing to show people who you are.

    We also got into why coaches hold back in their marketing, how people-pleasing shows up in business, and why small daily choices (not big reinventions) are what actually create change.Robin Carr is a mindset coach and speaker who helps individuals break out of limiting patterns and step into a more confident, self-directed version of themselves.

  • I recently had someone ask me what Endotype is a “natural seller”. All Endotypes can sell, but sales often feels uncomfortable for a lot of coaches. It doesn’t mean you are bad at it. You just don’t have a structure for the sales experience.

    In this episode, I walk you through the exact framework I use on sales calls that makes them feel easier, more natural, and far more effective. Instead of trying to “sell” your coaching, you’ll learn how to guide your potential client through two clear decisions—one that has nothing to do with your offer at all.

    We dig into how to help someone fully see why what they’ve been doing isn’t working, how to identify whether they’re actually ready for change, and why so many calls stall out before you ever get to talking about your program. If you’ve ever had a great conversation that didn’t turn into a client, this will explain why.

    This is one of those episodes that will immediately change how you run your next sales call.

  • When I first started coaching, I wore “empath” like a badge of honor. But the more I learned from Anna Hanael, the more I realized that being an empath without boundaries leads straight to burnout, anxiety, undercharging, and people-pleasing in business and relationships.

    In this episode Anna shares her journey from communist Poland to becoming a hypnotherapist and energy teacher working with professional empaths who look successful on the outside but feel exhausted inside. We talk about the difference between the unconscious empath (the people-pleaser) and the evolved empath—someone who knows how to sense energy without making everything about them. We also dive into pricing, energy exchange, and why free clients often value transformation the least.

    If you’re a coach who struggles with boundaries, over-giving, or charging what you actually need, this episode is going to challenge you in the best way.

    About Anna HanaelAnna Hanael is a speaker, mentor, healer, and certified hypnotherapist with over 25 years of experience in energy work. She helps high-performing empaths rebuild self-worth, regulate their nervous systems, and lead with grounded presence in love and business using her signature Hanael Method.

  • If you’ve ever watched someone “perform leadership” and wondered whether you’re the problem because you refuse to play that game
 this episode will land. Veronica Taylor doesn’t teach leadership as a job title. She teaches it as a lived value—something you carry into your relationships, your work, and the moments that test you when nobody’s clapping.

    Veronica’s story is intense in the most honest way: born on the day of a revolution, immigrating young, experiencing homelessness in San Francisco, and learning survival-level discernment that most people only talk about in theory. We get into the difference between being adaptable and being performative, and why “chameleoning” can be a tool that saves you—until it becomes the thing that keeps you stuck.

    We also go straight into responsibility without turning it into blame: how to extract yourself from the noise, choose your next move, and build an identity sturdy enough to hold your next level. Veronica has a line that stuck with me: who you think you are is how you show up in the world. If your business, leadership, or confidence is hitting a ceiling, you’ll hear exactly why.

    Guest BioVeronica Taylor is a leadership coach and speaker who teaches people how to lead in life—not just at work. With two decades of corporate leadership experience and 13 years as a certified professional coach, she helps individuals build emotional intelligence, personal clarity, and self-trust so they can lead authentically instead of performatively.

  • Most coaches think being a podcast guest is about exposure. It’s not. It’s about intention, preparation, and knowing exactly how a podcast fits into your client-attraction strategy. In this episode, I break down what actually makes podcast guesting work for coaches — and why so many people are wasting time saying yes to interviews that go nowhere.

    We talk through the unsexy but critical logistics that immediately impact whether people listen to your episode or turn it off — from sound quality and camera setup to how hosts decide who they book again. I also share what I look for as a podcast host, why filling out guest forms matters more than people realize, and how to position yourself so hosts see you as a professional, not a liability.

    Then we get into the part most coaches skip: converting listeners into your audience. I explain why vague CTAs don’t work, how to use podcast guesting to grow your list, and why sharing your own guest episodes is non-negotiable if you want clients to remember you and understand what you actually do.

  • In this interview with Molly Thompson, we discuss coaches—especially those who are having deep impact, so capable, and still quietly exhausted by guilt, shame, and the pressure to “do more.”

    Molly is building Elevated Achievers, a community for high-achieving women entrepreneurs (many with ADHD) who are already productive—but don’t feel alive in their work anymore. We talked about why productivity hacks don’t help this group, how ADHD often shows up differently in women, and why being wired differently doesn’t mean you’re broken. We also dug into energy as a currency—and how scattered energy limits impact no matter how smart or capable you are.

    This episode is especially for coaches who know they think faster, feel deeper, and see patterns others miss—but have struggled to name, claim, and trust those gifts without self-judgment.

    Guest BioMolly Thompson is the CEO of Elevated Energy and the founder of Elevated Achievers, a community for high-achieving women entrepreneurs—many with ADHD—who want to turn energy into meaningful, sustainable impact. She works at the intersection of systems thinking, intuition, and collaboration.

  • If you’ve ever hit an income goal and felt
 nothing (or worse: pressure), this conversation will land. I sat down with Teresa Romain who’s been teaching abundance for 30 years and we went straight into the uncomfortable truth most coaches avoid: you can be doing “everything right” financially and still feel like you’re failing. Teresa talks candidly about debt, shame, bankruptcy, and the moment she realized her entire definition of abundance was built on external proof.

    We unpack what she calls The Abundance Trap: when abundance becomes a destination “out there,” and money becomes the metric that decides whether you’re enough. Teresa explains why the goalposts move even when your income grows, why “beans and rice” strategies can be useful but aren’t the same thing as abundance, and why sufficiency (not “more and more”) is where freedom starts to show up. This is one of those episodes that makes you rethink your

    Guest BioTeresa Romain is an abundance coach with 30+ years of experience helping people shift their relationship with money, scarcity, and self-worth. She’s known for naming the patterns most of us normalize pressure, chasing, hiding, proving and guiding clients into a more honest, grounded definition of abundance that isn’t dependent on external results.

  • If you have ever thought “I know what I’m doing
 so why am I not getting booked?” you’re going to feel painfully seen in this episode with Jenny Unsworth. We talk about the moment a smart, high-achieving coach realizes that doing more isn’t the answer—because in a personal brand business, people aren’t buying your brain. They’re buying what they feel when you speak, teach, and lead.

    We got into the ways coaches end up sounding proformative. Not because they’re fake—because they’re trained. School, jobs, the whole employee pipeline teaches: do what the authority figure says, and you’ll get the reward. Entrepreneurship is different. You can do every step and still get no payoff if you’re not anchored in your own voice, your own lane, and the work you can actually stand behind when the results show up.

    And the DM conversation in this episode? Worth the listen. Jenny reframes “selling in the DMs” into what it should have been all along: connection without an agenda, trust built through honest touchpoints, and content that does the heavy lifting so you’re not trying to force a pitch in message #4 like a desperate raccoon.

    Jenny Unsworth coaches ambitious women in their 20s (and other driven entrepreneurs) who want predictable sales without losing themselves in hustle, performance, or constant strategy changes. She’s known for spotting the “half tweaks” that keep people stuck and helping them lead with clarity, conviction, and real brand energy.

  • Ever wonder why you can’t seem to “just do the thing” in your business—even when you know what to do?

    This episode with trauma healing coach Sara Miley will blow your mind. We unpack why common coaching struggles like imposter syndrome, burnout, black-and-white thinking, and people-pleasing are often unprocessed trauma responses—not mindset issues.

    Sara breaks down Internal Family Systems (IFS) in a way that makes sense for your coaching practice and your own healing. If your nervous system is tired, your confidence feels fragile, or you’re over functioning just to feel safe, this is your episode.
