You Are the Magic You're Waiting For: Recent Episodes
Kristin Hartjes
You’re a coach on a mission to create a big beautiful impact in the lives of others while living your most authentic, fun and fulfilled life. You know you’re meant for big things but you may be feeling a bit stagnant in your business. You know you’re holding yourself back. Many of us fall into this trap. The trap of waiting…for things to change. For inspiration. For motivation. For clarity. For healing. I created this podcast to remind you that you’re the magic you’re waiting for. Now is your time. The key to making the big impact and living your best life is taking aligned action and showing up as your most authentic self. This means breaking the rules, doing things differently and radically trusting yourself and your vision. I’m Kristin and I’m a chiropractor turned health coach turned business coach. I’m on a mission to help visionary women break through the excuses that have been holding them back so they can live their most magical lives.
If you're a health professional who feels stuck in a career you worked incredibly hard to build — and you feel guilty for even thinking about wanting something different — this video is for you.
Maybe you're exhausted.
Maybe you're questioning whether this is what you want to do for the next 10, 20, or 30 years.
Maybe you feel trapped by the time, money, education, and identity you've invested into your career.
I know exactly what that feels like.
I was a chiropractor with over $200,000 in student debt, working in jobs that left me exhausted, disappointed, and feeling completely trapped. I know what it's like to wonder if you made the wrong choice after all those years of school and training.
In this episode, I'm sharing my story, why so many health professionals end up feeling this way, and how I found a different path through coaching and online business.

What's the biggest thing keeping you from making a change?
Is it the debt?
The identity?
What other people might think?
Or something else entirely?
Something powerful to become aware of so that you can make more empowered choices moving forward.
If your discovery calls aren't converting — this is probably the reason. It's not your pricing. It's not your program. It's something almost no one talks about.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the biggest mistake health coaches make on discovery calls (hint: it has nothing to do with what you say), PLUS the step-by-step process I've personally used across thousands of consultation calls to help coaches sign clients they actually love working with.
Whether you're brand new to discovery calls or you've been doing them for years and something just feels off — this one is for you.
What we cover:
The #1 mistake that's costing you clients (and you probably don't even know you're doing it)
What to actually call your calls — and why it matters more than you think
The exact questions to ask, in order, so the call feels like a coaching session — not a sales pitch
How to handle objections without feeling pushy or salesy
What to do after the call to keep things moving forward

What happens when a Physician Assistant gets tired of 20-minute appointments and decides to build something better?
In this conversation, I sit down with Adrian Thompson, PA-C, who left traditional medicine to start her own telehealth practice — and hasn't looked back.
We cover:
-Healthcare burnout and why so many practitioners are at a breaking point
-Transitioning from traditional medicine to private practice
-Insurance vs. cash-based models — what actually makes sense
-Telemedicine, location independence, and what that looks like in real life
-Marketing a medical practice without feeling salesy
-Building confidence as a healthcare entrepreneur
One thing Adrian said that really stood out: she got to a point where she couldn't give good care in 20-minute appointments anymore. If you've ever felt that way, this conversation is for you.
Whether you're a Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, or health coach thinking about building something more independent — this is the conversation you didn't know you needed.

If showing up online feels uncomfortable, exhausting, or just… not like you — you're not alone.
A lot of health coaches struggle with visibility — not because they don't care about their work, but because putting themselves out there feels vulnerable, performative, or just really hard.
In this episode, I'm talking about why visibility feels so hard (especially if you're more introverted) — and it's probably not what you think.
Discover:
The real reason hiding feels so natural (and why it makes sense)
Why introversion isn't actually the problem
What's really keeping you from showing up for your coaching business
A more sustainable way to think about visibility as a health coach
If you've been waiting until you feel "ready" to show up — this one's for you.

Most people think self-sabotage looks obvious. Procrastinating. Avoiding. Just not trying.
But in reality? It usually feels completely reasonable in the moment.
It looks like overthinking. Second-guessing. Tweaking things instead of finishing them. Telling yourself you just need to get a little clearer first — and then suddenly another week has gone by and you still haven't done the thing.
In this episode, I'm walking you through what self-sabotage actually looks like inside your coaching business, and why most people don't even realize it's happening.
If you've ever felt stuck even though you know what to do — this one's for you.

Most health coaches think they need more certifications, more clarity, or more time before they can create a coaching offer.
That's not what's actually holding you back.
In this video, I break down:
✔ Why it's so hard to turn your knowledge into a coaching offer
✔ The biggest mistake most coaches make when building their offer
✔ A simple way to get clear on what you already know — and how to use it
You don't need to know everything. You just need to know how to apply what you already know.

🙋♀️ ABOUT KRISTIN
I'm a former chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner turned health coaching business mentor. For over a decade I've helped health practitioners and coaches build successful online coaching businesses — and I'm here to help you do the same.

02:45 – Where most coaches get stuck
03:30 – What actually matters in your offer
08:00 – What doesn't matter (this might surprise you)
10:00 – A real client offer transformation
Struggling with confidence as a health coach? It's probably not what you think — and it's not about getting more certifications
If you don’t feel confident as a health coach…
it’s probably not because you don’t know enough.
This is something I see all the time with health coaches and practitioners.
You’ve taken the trainings.
You’ve learned a lot.
But when it comes to actually putting yourself out there… something still feels off.
In this episode, I walk through:
• why confidence doesn’t come from more certifications or knowledge
• what’s actually missing when you feel unsure in what you’re offering
• how to start building real confidence in your work
• and why this directly impacts your ability to get clients
Because the truth is—
you can “know a lot” and still not feel confident.
Confidence comes from something much more simple… and much more practical.
If you’re in this place right now—feeling unclear, stuck, or not fully confident in what you’re offering—this is exactly the work I support my clients with.
Through personalized mentoring and support, we focus on:
• getting clear on what you’re offering
• building confidence in how you actually help people
• and creating a business that feels aligned—and brings in clients

📌 TIMESTAMPS
00:00 – Why confidence feels so hard to find
02:18 – What's actually going on (it's not what you think)
08:00 – What real confidence is built on
11:00 – How this shows up in your business and marketing
14:20 – Where to go from here
Starting a coaching business doesn’t have to be complicated — but overthinking can keep you stuck before you even begin.
This is something I see all the time.
You can know what to do, have the training, have the ideas…
and still find yourself second-guessing every step, waiting to feel ready, or not moving forward at all.
In this episode, I walk through what actually matters when you’re starting a coaching business — and the patterns that tend to get in the way.
We’ll talk about:
– why overthinking shows up (and why it actually makes sense)
– the 5 things you really need to build a coaching business that works
– how to get clear on who you help and what you offer
– and how to start moving forward, even if you don’t feel ready yet
If you’ve been stuck in your head or circling the same decisions, this will help you simplify things and take your next step.

About Kristin:
I’m a former chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner turned business mentor. For over a decade, I’ve helped health practitioners and coaches build businesses that are both profitable and aligned with who they are.
👉 Why do some health coaches make money… while others stay stuck?
It’s easy to assume it comes down to strategy, marketing, or consistency.
But more often, the difference comes from something less visible:
Self-doubt
Overthinking
Second-guessing
And not fully trusting yourself to move forward
At a certain point, building a coaching business isn’t about learning more.
It’s about what’s happening underneath how you show up.
In this episode, I walk through:
– what actually determines your income as a health coach
– the patterns that keep capable practitioners stuck
– and what allows some people to move forward while others don’t

If you feel like you’re not ready yet to fully step into your coaching business… this might be why.
A lot of health practitioners and coaches stay stuck in “learning mode”—thinking they need more knowledge, more certifications, or more clarity before they can really move forward.
But at a certain point, learning becomes a way of avoiding the very thing that actually builds confidence: doing the work.
In this episode, I talk about:
– why this pattern happens
– how it keeps you stuck
– and what actually helps you move forward

If you hate selling your coaching services, it’s not a sign you should quit your business. It’s a sign something is off.
Usually, it’s one of these 3 things:
- You don’t fully believe in your offer
- Your message or ideal client isn’t quite right
- You’re trying to market in a way that doesn’t fit you
Most health coaches think: “I just need to get better at selling.” But that’s not actually the problem.
You need a way of getting clients that works for you — your strengths, your energy, your way of connecting. Not louder. Not pushier. Not pretending to be someone you’re not.
In this episode, I break down exactly how to find that method.

From Burned Out Dentist to Integrative Dental Care
In today’s episode, I’m talking with Christina, a dentist who completely transformed her career after hitting major burnout. She knew something had to change — and instead of pushing harder, she chose a path that aligned with her values, her health, and the kind of care she truly wanted to offer.
If you’re a health practitioner craving more freedom, fulfillment, and a business that feels like you, Christina’s story will inspire you.

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

What does it really take to build a thriving health coaching business?
It’s not complicated—it comes down to 3 key ingredients:
✨ Confidence in your process + the results you help clients achieve
✨ A genuine passion + connection to your work
✨ Clear communication (and eventually letting client wins do the talking)
My client Lewis is proof. 👏
He went from physician assistant to health coach after watching his wife reverse diabetes through lifestyle changes.
Fast forward 2 years…
🔥 His clients are seeing blood sugar + A1C improvements in DAYS
🔥 He’s launched a group program + membership
🔥 His YouTube channel is growing so fast, he even gets recognized in public
For the men out there—this is your sign: we need more male health coaches! 💪

We coaches tend to be ambitious, growth-oriented, and maybe even a little perfectionistic.
Which sounds great… until it starts working against us.
Instead of creating freedom, it can leave us:
- Overworking in our business
- Never feeling “enough”
- Struggling to enjoy the life we’re building
I just had this exact conversation with a fellow coach turning 40, and it hit home:
How do you balance being healthy, making an impact, and actually enjoying your life?
That’s what I unpack in this week’s podcast.

For so many coaches, finding the “right” marketing strategy becomes a never-ending quest.
They hop from one guru to the next—following every formula—only to end up feeling inauthentic, burnt out, and frustrated with the results.
And the worst part?
They start thinking, “What’s wrong with me? Why did it work for them but not for me?”
Here’s the truth: it’s not you.
The problem is you’re following someone else’s roadmap for their business—not yours.
Your business is unique.
Your way of connecting, serving, and creating impact is unique.
And that’s why following your intuition isn’t just a nice idea—it’s essential for building a business that’s sustainable, enjoyable, and truly yours.
When you do, something shifts:
✨ The right opportunities show up
✨ Referrals and partnerships appear
✨ You find your flow—and business feels lighter
This episode will show you exactly how to create a marketing plan that honors your intuition and gets results.

You’re ready(ish) to start coaching…
But where are those paying clients everyone keeps talking about?
Maybe you’ve been posting on social media—sharing tips, telling your story, showing up.
But instead of signing new clients, you’re met with crickets… or just your supportive friends liking your posts.
Here’s the truth:
Most successful new coaches don’t attract their first clients from cold audiences online.
They start by tapping into something much more powerful: their existing network.
This one simple strategy has helped many of my clients fill their coaching spots—without sliding into DMs, running ads, or posting 24/7.
👉 In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to do it.
If you’re just getting started and want a clear, non-icky path to booking your first clients…

We often assume burnout comes from working too hard or being too busy.
But in reality, burnout is more often the result of misalignment—when the work we’re doing no longer fits who we are or what we truly want.
In my experience, that misalignment usually shows up in one of three ways:
You’re not doing the work you’re truly meant to be doing.
You’re in a work environment that drains you instead of energizes you.
Your mindset around work is based on striving, perfectionism, and the belief that once you hit a certain goal, then you’ll finally feel happy and fulfilled.
The truth is, our work matters. Not just because it takes up a huge portion of our time and energy—but because, for many of us, it’s a powerful source of meaning, purpose, and contribution.
This was exactly the case for Sarah, a chiropractor who found herself feeling burnt out and disconnected from the way she was working. Quick appointments and surface-level care weren’t enough—she knew she was meant to create deeper healing.
When she discovered coaching, everything clicked. Over the past three years, Sarah has built an online coaching business she absolutely loves. She’s transformed her relationship with confidence, money, and self-trust—allowing her to leave the clinic behind and move from the Netherlands to the beaches of South Africa.
Sarah’s story is full of insight and inspiration.

Let’s be real: posting on social media alone isn’t enough to grow your coaching business and consistently get clients.
Sure, there are a few magical unicorns out there who seem to build thriving businesses just from showing up online…
But in my 10+ years of mentoring coaches, I’ve never actually met one in real life.
And if you’re reading this, I’m guessing that constantly posting on social media feels more draining than energizing—maybe even makes you want to run and hide behind a tree.
Here’s what I do know to be true:
There’s no one-size-fits-all marketing strategy. What works for you has to align with your personality, your strengths, and your values.
No two coaches build their businesses the same way—and that makes perfect sense.
We all have different ideal clients, skills, experiences, and ways we naturally connect.
That’s why it’s essential to find a marketing approach that feels authentic—something you actually enjoy doing.
**Because when you do, you start to align with the right opportunities, people, and clients.
Everything feels easier… more flowy… more fun.**
That’s exactly what happened for Vika.
At first, she thought she had to grow her business on social media—even though it felt completely unnatural.
But the moment she started tapping into her local network and following what felt exciting, the game changed.
She found aligned partnerships and opportunities that helped her grow her business without relying on social media.
Vika also shares what it’s been like building her business while navigating ADHD—something so many people (especially women) are discovering in adulthood—and the simple but powerful strategies that helped her move forward.

Feeling stuck when it comes to pricing your health coaching services?
Not sure what to charge, so you’re scrolling through other coaches’ websites trying to figure out the "going rate"?
Here’s the truth:
There’s no one-size-fits-all number when it comes to setting your rates.
But there is a price that feels aligned for YOU—a number that reflects your value, feels good to say out loud, and actually attracts the right clients.
And finding that sweet spot?
It can be the difference between consistently booking clients… and hearing crickets.
In this podcast, I’m breaking down exactly what to consider when pricing your coaching program—so you can stop second-guessing and start confidently sharing your offer.

The truth? Life is uncomfortable.
Sometimes just a little.
Other times, deeply so.
There’s a Chinese proverb that says,
A fool prays for an easier path. A wise one prays for stronger legs.
And it hits hard.
What we often don’t realize is that much of our discomfort is chosen.
Sure, life throws us curveballs beyond our control.
But so much of what we face daily is within our hands.
Take your work, for example.
You might not be able to quit your job tomorrow with zero plan.
But you can begin building something that aligns with who you are.
Something that excites you, fulfills you, and expands your idea of what’s possible.
Because here’s the thing:
Starting a health coaching business is uncomfortable.
It’s scary. Vulnerable. Stretching.
But so is staying in a job that drains you.
So this is your reminder: you get to choose your uncomfortable.
This week on YouTube, I interviewed Hayley—a researcher turned health coach turned psychotherapist.
We talk about what it really looks like to lean into discomfort, and how doing so became the key to building her business and life on her terms.
We also dive into the magic of YouTube, and what it’s like to navigate social media as a highly sensitive introvert.

Are You a Perfectionist?
If so—welcome. You’re in good company.
Now take a moment to reflect:
How has perfectionism shaped your life?
-Do you hold yourself to impossibly high standards?
Is making a mistake something you just can’t accept?
-Does criticism feel less like feedback and more like a personal attack? (Just me?)
-Do you crave approval—wanting everyone to be proud of you and your choices?
-Do you avoid taking risks, speaking your truth, or putting yourself out there?
I see this all the time—especially with the people I coach. Almost every single one of them identifies as a perfectionist.
They want to do it right. They want to do it well.
Which is admirable… but also incredibly limiting.
Perfectionism can feel like a cozy little safety cage—comfortable, familiar… and totally confining.
It holds us back from discovering what’s truly possible.
From exploring what we really want.
From living fully—and having fun while we’re at it.
We’re conditioned from an early age to strive for perfection:
A+ grades. Gold stars. Praise for doing things “the right way.”
But at some point, you start to realize… that stuff doesn’t actually matter.
What matters is creating a life that feels authentic.
A life that’s fulfilling, aligned—and yes, even fun.
And if starting a business is something you’ve been dreaming about, please don’t let perfectionism be the thing that stops you.
In this week’s video, I’m talking to Karen, a coach who helps mid-life women feel empowered with their finances—so they can live a life they love now and in retirement.
Karen shares how building her business helped her finally let go of perfectionism, find her voice, and build real confidence in herself.

Most medical professionals enter the field with passion and purpose—bright-eyed, full of hope, and committed to making a real difference. The dream? To heal, to help, and to feel deeply fulfilled by meaningful work.
But the reality? For many, it's a far cry from that dream.
Instead, they find themselves stuck in a system they didn’t choose—one that:
-Rewards speed over depth, pushing them to see as many patients as possible
-Prioritizes prescriptions over true healing
-Requires endless paperwork just to get services covered
-Limits patient care to what insurance will allow
-Largely ignores prevention, root-cause healing, and holistic approaches
For practitioners who value integrity, this model feels completely out of alignment. But stepping outside the system often comes with consequences—reprimands, restrictions, or worse.
After years of following rules that clash with your core values, burnout is almost inevitable. And with it comes a deep longing for freedom—to practice medicine on your own terms, in your own way, wherever you choose.
That’s why so many health professionals are now turning to health coaching and launching their own businesses—to reclaim their autonomy and do the work they actually believe in.
And that’s exactly what Nicole did.
Nicole, a physician assistant, started her own coaching business focused on helping menopausal women lose weight—a topic she’s both professionally experienced in and personally passionate about.
Her business took off quickly. In fact, demand grew so rapidly that within just a few months, Nicole launched a group coaching program to accommodate the influx of clients eager to work with her.
Incredible, right?

Building a coaching business isn’t just about websites, clients, or content. It’s about becoming the kind of person who can hold space for others—while still holding space for your own growth.
It’s a path of self-discovery, resilience, and deep alignment.
You’ll meet imposter syndrome head-on. You’ll question your direction (probably more than once). There will be flashes of total clarity, followed by moments of “Wait… what am I even doing?”
That’s all part of it.
The truth is, your business evolves as you evolve. Every single step—whether it’s landing your first client or navigating a slower season—is shaping you into the coach you’re here to be.
So if you’re in the thick of it right now—refining your niche, designing your offer, learning to trust yourself—you’re not alone. The journey is messy, meaningful, and far more powerful than any plug-and-play strategy.
And yes, it’s worth it.
It’s worth it to…
✨ Do work that actually lights you up and reflects your passions and wisdom
✨ Call your own shots—you decide when, where, and how you work
✨ Stop wondering what if and finally find out what you're capable of (Spoiler: it’s more than you think)
That’s why I’m so excited to share stories from a few of my past clients—coaches who’ve been in business for over a year and have learned so much through the ups and downs.
Each journey is completely unique, which is why I’m a huge believer in a personalized, heart-centered approach to building your business.
First up: Becky.
A former nurse turned health coach, Becky now guides her clients through sustainable, empowering weight loss transformations.
What I love most about Becky’s journey is how intentionally she’s built real, meaningful relationships with other business owners in her local community. This one decision has allowed her to grow her practice almost entirely through referrals.
And let’s be honest—there’s something kind of magical about a referral-based business. Imagine this: people in your network consistently sending ideal clients your way. No pressure to post on social media. No constant content creation. Just genuine connection and word-of-mouth doing the heavy lifting.
It’s a beautiful reminder that there are many ways to build a successful coaching business—and that the most aligned path is the one that feels true to you.

How do you find your perfect health coach niche?
You’ve likely heard that a niche is essential, but why? And if you do need one, where should you focus? How can you know which niche truly aligns with you?
This is one of the biggest challenges coaches face, and it can keep you stuck.
That’s why today’s episode goes beyond the typical advice.
I’ll dive into what I’ve learned from over a decade of helping coaches and healers build successful businesses, sharing insights that can help you choose a niche with confidence.

The truth is, while calling yourself a health coach is easy, building a successful business as one is much harder. Most health coaches bring strong knowledge and passion to the table but often miss the crucial ingredient essential for business success.
In this week’s episode, I’m revealing that key ingredient so you can apply it to your business and join the few who reach lasting success.

Coaches often tell me that the methods taught by their coaching institutes can feel awkward—sometimes very awkward.
They find themselves overthinking and holding back, instead of naturally engaging with clients. This often means relying too much on techniques and rules, rather than their own intuition, which is actually one of the most effective tools in coaching.
In my work, I blend coaching and mentoring, whether supporting clients in health or business. Coaching alone can feel restrictive and may not fully meet clients’ needs. So, in this episode, I’ll explain the distinctions between coaching, mentoring, and therapy.
Note: Staying within your scope of practice is essential, whether you’re coaching or mentoring.

What’s the key ingredient to a successful health coaching business?
Is it:
Flashy marketing?
Viral Reels of you dancing in the kitchen?
Showing up on social media every day?
Having the perfect coaching program?
Being an extroverted attention-grabber?
Nope. None of that.
The real answer lies in your confidence and abilities as a health coach. That might sound intimidating, especially if you're just starting out, but it’s something you build with practice.
In this episode, I’ll guide you step-by-step through how to conduct an effective health coaching session, giving you the foundation to grow your confidence and truly help your clients.
And once you trust your skills, you’ll shift from fearing client interactions to being genuinely excited to help them, making your marketing efforts more authentic and successful.

I wasn’t really aware of ‘manifestation’ until I started my coaching business in 2014. But soon after diving into the world of coaching and online business, it seemed to be everywhere, often hailed as the key to success. Naturally, I was intrigued by the idea, but the way it was presented felt a little too "woo-woo" and hard to apply. Now, after a decade of using these principles, I want to share how I’ve personally experienced manifestation and how I approach it.
So, does it actually work?
For me, the answer is yes.
When I first started my health coaching business, life looked a lot different. I was balancing chiropractic and functional medicine work, a part-time job, and launching my coaching business—all while living at home and dealing with overwhelming student loan debt. I was also single.
Fast forward 10 years, and I’ve achieved so much of what I set out to create:
A business that lets me use my gifts, make a meaningful impact, and generate the income I desire
A deep sense of belonging and community
A supportive partner with shared values and goals
A beautiful home in the mountains with incredible views and natural light
The freedom to create my own schedule, work from anywhere, and travel (12 trips last year!)
Time and resources to focus on my health and well-being
Plenty of time in nature
Some of these things manifested quickly, while others took more time, but persistence and patience were key. And of course, this process is ongoing, evolving as I refine what I want and need in life.
So, how can you start manifesting the life and business you truly desire? In today’s podcast, I’ll break it down into clear, actionable steps—without the ‘woo-woo’—so you can easily apply these principles to both your business and your life.

When it comes to getting coaching clients, most of us would like to believe in the idea of ‘if you build it, they will come.’
This sounds very nice.
Very convenient.
Very comfortable.
Just let people know that you’re a coach and accepting clients, make a business Facebook or Instagram page, and ‘poof’, you’ll have plenty of people who are interested in hiring you.
Unfortunately many coaching certifications and business coaches paint this picture.
I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but I believe in honesty and transparency, and after helping 100’s of coaches build businesses over the past decade, plus knowing hundreds of coaches and being a part of the coaching industry, I know first hand that this is a bunch of bull shit (excuse my language, but it’s true).
Just like taking a ‘magic pill’ isn’t going to help someone lose weight and keep it off long term (no matter how much people wish this were true), there isn’t some quick and easy magic trick to getting coaching clients in a way that will build a sustainable and profitable business.
But this is the good news…it is totally possible to get clients (in a way that feels good to you) and create a wildly successful coaching business.
It does, however, require that you understand the different parts of the marketing process and have a system in place that works for YOU personally!
In this podcast, I share the keys to getting coaching clients right NOW…because what may have worked well 2, 5 or even 10 years ago is not necessarily what is working well for people now.

As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, procrastinator, and overthinker who's battled an eating disorder, I’m no stranger to self-sabotage.
In fact, I know it all too well.
It’s one thing to deal with things outside your control, but a whole other kind of pain when you're the one 'torturing' yourself.
It may sound dramatic, but it feels like breaking your own heart over and over again—painful, frustrating, and maddening.
So, how does this connect to building a coaching business?
In short: it means everything.
The biggest difference between those who have a successful business and those who don’t isn’t:
Intelligence
Training or certifications
Experience
Marketing skills
Writing or video expertise
It is SELF-SABOTAGE.
Self-sabotage is a sneaky force we all deal with—it’s something every human experiences. However, some of us struggle with it more than others, and it tends to show up more prominently in certain areas of our lives.
If you've engaged in self-sabotaging behaviors in any area of your life, it's likely those same patterns will resurface—perhaps even more intensely—when you start building your business.
But I have good news for you.
Despite what we often think, self-sabotaging behaviors serve a purpose. When you understand why they show up, you gain the clarity to overcome them and build the business you truly desire.
This insight can completely transform both your business and your life! In this week's podcast, I’ll walk you through exactly how to do that.

Do you consider yourself an introvert?
How about a highly sensitive person (or as I prefer, a person with sensory processing sensitivity)?
Have you thought about how this may impact your business building process?
If not, no worries.
I didn’t think about this, either, until after I was in the process of building my coaching business and wondering why….
It was taking me long than my peers to get clients and create income
I found myself battling perfection, analysis paralysis, feelings of overwhelm, procrastination and ‘ADHD brain’ on a daily basis
I was deathly afraid of making mistakes, criticism, failure, not knowing enough
I had a serious case of inferiority syndrome and it became a daily practice to compare myself to EVERYONE else on the internet (talk about a downer!)
I didn’t feel confident…
It wasn’t okay with doing a lot of the marketing that other people were having success with…much of it felt salesy, pusy and inauthentic
As introverts and sensitive souls we make amazing coaches.
We naturally have strong abilities in:
Listening
Emotional intelligence and empathy
Being creative
Acting with integrity
Connecting to our intuition
Noticing details and nuances that others miss
Unfortunately, many introverts and HSP’s get derailed in the business building process because they are trying to do things in a way that just doesn’t work for them.
This is a huge shame because you miss out on using your wisdom and talents to create a purposeful business, and the world misses out because we need more people doing this work.
So, how do you build a business in a way that works for those of us who are introverts and/or highly sensitive?
In this podcast, I explain the top 8 things you want to keep in mind as an introvert and/or HSP when you’re building your coaching business.

Ever caught yourself in the loop of wanting to build your coaching business but hesitating to get clients? The fear of not being able to help them lurks in the background, creating an exhausting cycle.
It's a subtle dance between consciously desiring clients and subconsciously fearing the challenges that may arise. The result? Stagnation—spinning your wheels but going nowhere fast.
You yearn for clients, yet there's a hidden hope you don't get them to avoid sounding inexperienced or risking client dissatisfaction.
This pattern often leads to a form of stealthy hiding. You convince yourself you're taking action, yet it doesn't propel you forward in building your community.
You might find yourself stuck in perpetual website redesigns, endless niche reconsiderations, continuous courses, and extensive content creation—all under the guise of progress.
Starting out in coaching can feel like navigating uncharted territory, leading to self-doubt.
However, the key lies in truly wanting clients because you believe in your ability to help them.
In this week's video, I unveil the top 5 keys to becoming a confident and impactful coach, breaking free from the fear that holds you back.
Let's dive in and transform your coaching journey!

Months ago I made a video sharing the health ramifications of working a job that was slowly draining the life out of me.
Many of you resonated, wondering: when's the perfect time to say goodbye to your job when diving into a health coaching business?
People often find themselves in two camps:
Eager to quit ASAP, thrilled by the prospect.
Terrified of quitting, paralyzed by fear.
For those in between, it's a delicate dance.
This topic triggers many because we must dive into conversations about money and current financial situations. Everyone’s favorite, right? ;)
But ignoring these aspects makes it impossible to make a wise decision.
This week, I unravel the complexities and dive into the nitty-gritty details you must grasp to determine YOUR perfect timing.
I explain on the details in this week's video.

Do you wish that social media would disappear from the face of the earth and you’d never have to think about it again?
Okay okay, I’m being dramatic…but I’m also being truthful.
This past year, I felt totally burnt out from playing the social media game. And truly, this is coming from someone who only used social media for her health coaching business, and didn’t use it that much.
But the impact it was having on my quality of life felt significant. As someone who’s an introvert and an HSP, I find that spending time on social media (both as a creator and consumer) is very draining and overwhelming for me energetically.
And yet, I felt incredibly torn because so many of my amazing clients found me through social media. I cherish these connections from around that globe that would not have been possible without these applications.
Thus, the conundrum.
To use social media, or not, that is the question.
I significantly decreased my use of social media this past year…only posting on Instagram 7 times. I still created over 20 YouTube videos (although YouTube feels much different for me than FB and IG) and started dabbling with creating a podcast. I pretty much stopped using Facebook, including my Facebook group. If you are in my group or waiting to join, please come and join me on IG, YouTube or here in my newsletter instead. I made much more of an effort to connect with people ‘in real life’, yes, in person!
My coaching business continued to grow, but at a slower pace. I had to step back and reconnect with my mission, my story, my passion and my way of showing up and sharing with the world.
Instead of blindly following the crowd or replicating what I’ve been taught from others, I wanted to find what felt aligned for me when it comes to marketing.
So where do I go from here? I’m re-finding my way. Rediscovering how I can use social media (because it is an amazing tool), but use it super intentionally in a way that feels good.
And that is exactly what I’m talking about in today’s video.
I’m going to walk you through the 6 things you must think about when it comes to determining IF and HOW you will use social media to market your coaching business.
And yes, it is 100% possible to grow a business without using social media if that is the path you choose.

How quickly can you make money as a health coach?
How much money can you make?
I’m guessing these are questions that are rolling around in your head.
One of the things I’m most frustrated with in the health coaching industry is the disservice it does to new coaches around money expectations.
I’ve been a coach for a decade and have helped hundreds of health coaches build their own businesses so I know from experience what is true and what is a bunch of b.s.
That is why I’m peeling back the veil and sharing the truth about making money as a health coach in this week’s podcast.

If someone has the option to work with a health coach and a functional medicine practitioner, why would someone choose a health coach?
I had a client ask me this the other day, so I’m guessing it’s something you may be questioning, as well.
If you don’t know my personal background, I practiced as a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner before I decided to make the switch to health coaching.
And yes, now I’m a business mentor to other health coaches, but that is a story for another day ;)
That being said, I have personal experience working as both a functional medicine practitioner and a health coach.
And that experience has shown me the differences and the advances and disadvantages to both.
I know one of the biggest obstacles most new health coaches face is the question of, ‘why would anyone ever choose to work with lil ‘ol me?’
And I’m going to share why in today’s episode.If you're interested in working together to build your business, you can find out more and apply here: kristinhartjes.com/apply

When it comes to getting coaching clients, what sets you apart? What's the game-changer that turns a potential client from merely curious to genuinely intrigued about working with you? And, more importantly, how do you keep them from scrolling right past to find someone else who feels like the perfect match?
Your story.
What do I mean by your story?
I mean how you got to where you are now in relation to the specific service you offer through your coaching business.
Note: this is different from your life story ;)
Stories are memorable.
They build connection.
And understanding.
And this is all true for YOUR story as it relates to your health coaching business.
In this week’s video, I share the top 3 ways you can weave your story into your business. Trust me, your ideal client will be saying, 'YES! You're the one I've been looking for!'"

Hey there, and happy new year!
If you're like me, those grand New Year's resolutions can feel a bit overwhelming, right?
The pressure, the urgency... not my style.
I prefer setting intentions—no pressure, no deadlines.
So, I've been reflecting on the past year, exploring what worked well and what I'd like to tweak moving forward.
I've crafted a podcast sharing my personal journey through 2023—a year that felt like hitting a brick wall of stagnation and uncertainty.
It was a year of deep contemplation and exploration. I can finally say I've shaken off that feeling of being stuck, though it took a good chunk of the year.
As someone who values productivity and achieving goals (because this is what we’ve been told makes us valuable and successful, right?!), feeling stuck was quite the challenge, let me tell you.
2023 marked my 40th birthday and a decade in the coaching industry. These milestones urged me to pause, reflect, and get very intentional about the direction I wanted to steer my life and business as I embark on the 2nd half(ish) of my life.
In the podcast, I touch on various topics:
- Navigating as a highly sensitive introvert in business and life
- Getting engaged and growing through relationships
- The essential lessons missing from many coaching courses
- Exploring the realm of psychedelics
- My frustrations within the coaching industry
- A rethink on social media
- Tackling the issue of isolation for many coaches
Afterward, I'd love to hear if any of my experiences resonate with you. What topics pique your interest? Your input helps me support you better. Feel free to reply to an email from me or send me a DM on IG and let me know :)Interested in getting support with building your business? Apply HERE to work with me.

How do you create a truly amazing coaching program from your clients?
I’m guessing this is top on your list of concerns when it comes to building your business because you want your clients to get the very best results.
And you definitely want to look like you have your shit together and know what you’re doing, right?
Creating a program can feel totally overwhelming…
What do you include?
How long should it be?
How do you make sure you have something to talk about each session?
How much should you charge?
How do you make sure your clients get results…and don’t end up disappointed or gulp, angry?
You’re in luck because I made a video that answers ALL of these questions and reveals my #1 secret for creating the most amazing and transformational coaching program.

There have been two pivotal moments in my life when I encountered rapid and compelling health symptoms, all due to neglecting my intuition.
One instance pertained to a job, while the other related to a relationship.
Both scenarios were entirely incongruent with what I want for my life experience.
Before long, my body clearly signaled the need to exit these situations…and thankfully I listened.
At times, we find ourselves in situations that gradually erode our health, where the connection isn't immediately apparent. These can be a bit harder to ‘diagnose’ but recognizing them and addressing them can be life changing.
As health coaches, our specialized training and experience equip us to take a comprehensive view of an individual's health and life. We assist in evaluating whether specific aspects of their life are adversely affecting their overall well-being, happiness, and sense of fulfillment.
In this week’s video, I discuss the steps you can guide your health coaching clients (or yourself) through to identify areas in your life that may be detrimentally impacting your health.
Subsequently, we explore strategies to effect the necessary changes for a more positive and healthier lifestyle.

Building a thriving health coaching business offers a lot of incredible advantages.
These compelling prospects are often marketed to you, particularly by various health coaching programs and health coaching certifications. You might envision yourself by the beach, sipping Pina Coladas while guiding your clients towards success.
However, the moment you transition from dreams to reality, the truth sinks in.
Your business won't miraculously build itself. To find paying clients, you'll need to step into the spotlight and discuss your services frequently. This can feel uncomfortable and daunting.
You begin to doubt yourself, questioning what's wrong. That nagging voice in your head suggests that success might be unattainable, tempting you to give up.
You start battling with your own desires, torn between the longing for a successful business and the disappointment and frustration you're experiencing.
The truth is, this inner struggle is entirely normal. It's what many refer to as the entrepreneurial roller coaster, a challenging yet expected part of the journey.
To build a successful health coaching business, you must be willing to embrace this ride. But how can you navigate this roller coaster without hitting the eject button and giving up prematurely?
In this week's podcast, I'll share strategies to help you stay on the journey and give yourself a fair chance at success.

Many new health coaches don’t really want clients and this stops them from building their health coaching businesses.
Let me explain what I mean by this.
You want to help people and you want to make money in your health coaching business, but you are scared…
Scared that
- Your clients won’t get results
- You don’t have something valuable to offer
- You won’t know what to say to your client or won’t be able to answer all of her/his questions
- You don’t know enough and need to do more trainings and certifications
Sound familiar?
If so, I have good news for you!
You can become and confident and masterful health coach so that yes, you really truly want clients and feel fabulous about the value you have to offer.

This year I turned the big 40.
No big deal.
Or so I thought.
But after the birthday celebrations ended I felt off.
Really off.
Like something was wrong.
Or missing.
But what?
I created all those things my younger adult self wanted…the career, the house, the relationship, the money, the travel.
Enter midlife crisis. Or as I like to call it midlife re-evaluation.
Many people go through some variation of a 'midlife crisis' usually between the ages of 35-65. The timing is different for each of us and it may be associated with a major life event such as having children, children leaving the nest, a change in relationship, a change in career, a move, the death of a loved one, etc.
For me, this restlessness started in the past two years, but hit really hard this year.
It felt like I was being forced to re-evaluate my life and take note of how I was showing up and what was working and what wasn’t working so well…yes, this means in my relationships, health and career/purpose/fulfillment.
It felt like a call to take full responsibility for the results (or lack of results) I create in all areas of my life and to be VERY intentional about what I focus on and how I spend my time and energy in the second half of my life...and a huge nudge to leave behind any 'self-sabotaging' behavior that was stopping me from being my best self and creating my best life.
In this week’s podcast, I share more about my experiences navigating my ‘midlife crisis’ and the realizations I’ve had. I also share how we can use this experience to help us build a purposeful and fulfilling business that leaves the world a better place…and do it in a way that feels aligned...this is so important!

Do you find yourself overthinking EVERYTHING? Especially when it comes to your business?
You desperately want to move forward, but feel stuck.
Stuck in…
Analysis paralysis
Perfection
Procrastination
You want to make sure you make the right decisions and do the right things so you think about it…over and over and over again.
Is your head exploding yet?
Because mine is just from thinking about overthinking.
The truth is that overthinking is a huge waste of precious time and energy.
And it doesn’t serve you.
In fact, it keeps you from taking action.
And yes, action is a REQUIREMENT for moving forward and getting results in our business, and in all areas of our lives.
So just stop overthinking, OK?!
If only it were that easy…
**It’s not easy to stop overthinking because it's a habit and it serves a purpose…which I will share more about in this week’s video. But it is 100% possible to stop overthinking and start taking action and I’ll share how in this video.
If you're interested in exploring working together to stop overthinking and start taking action in your business, you can find out more HERE.**
Understanding how to develop a powerful message is the foundation for building a successful coaching business.
Without this in place, you can spend months and yes, even years, marketing your business while signing very few or maybe even no clients…eek!
This leaves you feeling energetically drained and completely frustrated…and likely like you want to quit.
The good news is that when you know how to create compelling messaging, the right people will connect with you and want to work with you…with an effective marketing plan in place ;) Wish people would magically find us all, but that’s not how the world works.
So how do you avoid the #1 messaging mistake that I see coaches making?
That’s what you’ll learn in this week’s podcast.
Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned) HERE
Do you want support with creating a magnetic message and an effective and aligned marketing plan that you enjoy? This makes all the difference! If so, you can find out more about working with me and set up a time to speak with me HERE.
How willing are you to venture out of your comfort zone?
Are you willing to make mistakes?
Are you willing to allow other people to see you not appearing perfect?
Are you willing to take action before you know exactly how everything is going to work out?
Are you willing to make a video even though if feels VERY uncomfortable and you don’t really know what you’re doing?
When it comes to building a business, your willingness to break out of your ‘comfort zone’ is directly related to the success of your business.
Why?
Because most of the things you’re doing are new to you.
Which means they will feel uncomfortable.
AND
Putting yourself out there WILL feel vulnerable.
This is why building a business is so challenging.
It is also why building a business is one of the best pathways for personal growth.
Note, there is a difference between ‘good’ discomfort that you feel when you’re stretching outside your comfort zone (this is what we want) vs. ‘bad’ discomfort we feel when we’re doing things that feel ‘icky’ or out of alignment for you (this is highly individualized)
But in order to start stepping out of our comfort zone on the regular, which, yes, you need to do when you build a business, you need to create the capacity in your nervous system to do so.
If you don’t, you burn out or freak out ;) and quit.
We don’t want that! We want long term sustainable success.
So how do you expand your capacity for discomfort?
That’s exactly what I’m sharing with you in this week’s podcast.
Find out more about how we can work together to build your business HERE.
Do you consider yourself a perfectionist?
If so, it’s important to consider how your ‘perfecting’ will impact your business.
In fact, when left unchecked, your quest for perfection can stop you from ever getting clients and getting your business off the ground.
The good news is that being a ‘perfectionist’ is not an innate personality trait. It is a learned behavior and this means that it can be changed.
And yes, you must leave perfection behind if you want to create a successful and purposeful business.
In this week’s podcast, I shed light on why exactly you strive for perfection. I also show you the true impact that being a ‘perfectionist’ has on your business and life. Then, I share the steps you can take to leave perfection behind so you’re free to take action and create the results you want.

Introverts face some unique challenges when it comes to building a coaching business (and really in many areas of our lives ;).
I had no idea just how much being an introvert impacted my confidence and my view of myself until I started my business.
I always thought that being an introvert wasn’t that big of a deal.
Introverts make up an estimated 30-50% of the population so it’s not exactly like we are a huge minority.
But the truth is that we live in an extroverted world.
And many of the characteristics we are led to believe make us likable, successful, popular and happy are often associated with more extroverted qualities.
This can leave us introverts feeling inferior and like we have to change ourselves to achieve what we want in life.
On top of this, we are often taught how to do things (ah hmm…growing our businesses) in ways that works well for extroverts, but leave us feeling energetically and emotionally drained.
This will eventually lead to burnout. And yes, I’m speaking for experience.
When it comes to building a successful business, it is important that we understand the unique challenges that we face as introverts. When we truly understand this, then we can choose marketing and business systems that work for our introverted nature.
That is exactly what I’m sharing with you in this week’s video and podcast.
Do you want support with building your confidence as a coach AND building your coaching business in a way that feels heart centered and authentic and does NOT require you to waste precious time and energy on social media (yes, that means in a way that works for introverts)? If so, you can book a free business breakthrough session with me HERE.
This year I turned the big 40.
It’s been an interesting year.
Perhaps it’s because I’m now ‘midlife’.
Haha.
But really, there has been a shift for me in the past few years leading up to this year.
And then this year, it really hit me.
This weird feeling that something was missing. Something was a bit ‘off’.
But what?
I have a fantastic relationship, good friends, an amazing family, a beautiful home in the mountains, enough money to do and buy what I want, I get to travel, I have a successful business that allows me to do purposeful work (and provides a ton of freedom and flexibility)…..
Hmmmm….
I have all the things that I really wanted so why do I feel this way?
So I started exploring why.
And what I have discovered has been incredibly insightful and has led me to developing my own powerful coaching tool.
A tool that I’m teaching all my clients.
And that tool is what I’m sharing with you in this week’s podcast.

Let’s talk about money, honey.
Most of us have a complicated relationship with money.
We want more of it.
We believe that more will make us feel happy, safe, free.
Yet, we feel greedy if we want a lot or have ‘too much’.
We feel bad asking other people for it.
Sound familiar?
When you have a business, it forces you to look at your relationship to money.
If you want to create a profitable business, you must believe in the value you have to offer and you must be okay with receiving money directly for that value.
And if you’re a coach in the online space, you are no doubt seeing messages about how you can…and should be reaching $5K months, no $10K months, no 6-figure months…and you should be able to make that happen in 6 months, no 3 months, no wait, make that 30 days from now.
Because that is normal, right?
Hmmmm…..
In this video, I talk about all that you REALLY need to know when it comes to making money and creating a profitable coaching business. Shifting your expectations and perspective around money will make all the difference when it comes to reaching your goals and creating a successful and sustainable business.Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclients

Is it just me or does it feel that weight, body image and food have become very complicated topics?
We have a weight crisis worldwide. In fact the World Health Organization has declared obesity a ‘public health crisis’ and it has risen to the #1 cause of preventable deaths (it has surpassed smoking) because of it’s high correlation to heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
At the same time we are bombarded with marketing messages about how we need to look like super models to be happy and successful. This has only been increased in the past two decades with the rise of social media, where images of the ‘ideal body’ are an easy click away.
We are heavily marketed foods that make us sick and fat…and these foods are the most affordable.
Eating disorders are on the rise..many of which go undiagnosed. Good luck finding one person who doesn't struggle with their thoughts around food, their health and their body.
There has also been a huge body positivity movement which is great, but has caused a lot of confusion around whether helping people lose weight goes against ‘body positivity’.
And then we have the rise dieting…everything from Weight Watchers to Jenny Craig, to BeachBody, to Vegan, Keto, Carnivore….ay caramba!
It’s enough to make my, and I’m guessing your, head explode.
So if our heads are exploding, how are we supposed to help our clients?
That’s exactly what I talk about in this week’s episode. As someone who spent more than a decade struggling with an eating disorder, these topics are near and dear to my heart.
In this episode, I talk about how to handle the controversy surrounding weight, body image and food. I also share what is most important and effective (from my experience) when it comes to coaching our clients around these topics. No matter who your ideal client is, this is important because it impacts EVERYONE.

Let’s talk about the f word.
No…not that one. ;)
Failure.
Many coaches are incredibly afraid of failing.
Perhaps so afraid of failure, that they rob themselves of the opportunity to pursue their passion, find fulfillment and create true freedom for themselves.
Bummer, right?
In this week’s podcast I share the truth about failure and how you can shift your perspective so that you feel free, and dare I say excited, to pursue your business, or take your business to the next level.
I’ve re-recorded today’s podcast episode 3 times.
Not because I wanted it to be perfect….I’m a 'one and done' kind of person when it comes to creating content because I find that this allows me to tap into my intuition and share from the heart.
But this podcast threw me for a loop because each time I recorded it, I found that the message wasn’t quite right.
Even as I re-listen to it now, I’m not quite sure if it effectively communicates the massive impact that this topic has on our businesses and lives.
But, as they say, third time is the charm…so we’ll roll with it as is, and I’ll continue to elaborate on this topic and explore all it’s intricacies in the future.
As you may have noticed (or perhaps you didn’t), I’ve taken a bit of a break from creating content.
I needed the space.
The quiet.
The permission to be quiet myself.
I’ve been feeling the need for this space for awhile (and by awhile I mean at least the past two years), but this year I turned 40, and it was like, bam, this calling for the space and the quiet could no longer be ignored.
So reluctantly (being unproductive, is laziness, right?!) I gave myself permission to stop creating, stop consuming other people’s content, and start chilling.
It’s been an interesting 6 months. A challenging 6 months. And a transformational 6 months.
Not transformational in a loud way….like my business and life will be unrecognizable from now on.
But transformation in a quiet way…like my business and life will feel different from now on.
And yes, this matters more than anything else when it comes to true success and fulfillment.
I talk about my insights and how this is impacting my business and life in this week’s podcast.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Feel free to leave me a comment or send me a message over on Instagram.
Even though I’ve taken a bit of a break from content creating, I’ve still been busy helping other coaches start and build their own businesses. If you resonate with today’s podcast and want personalized support with your business, I’d love to chat with you about how we can work together to help you reach your goals.
I currently have two options for working together. My intimate group program called Confidence & Clients is perfect for coaches who are building a new business. You can find the details for this program here.

Every think, 'why would anyone want to work with lil ‘ol me when there are other people out there with more'…
- Degrees
- Education
- Experience
- Followers
- Content
Sound familiar?
Building a business often brings of feelings of inferiority, imposter syndrome and comparison.
This is why it is so important to understand the unique advantages of working with a health coach, and also why someone would want to work with YOU specifically.
In this week’s video I explain the specific benefits of working with a health coach vs. working with other service providers and I also show you how to get clear on why someone would want to work with lil ‘ol you ;)
When you REALLY understand the particular advantages that someone will receive from working with you, it is a complete game changer to your confidence.

If you’re anything like me, you have a complicated relationship with social media.
So when it comes to using social media in our business, this can feel especially intimidating.
**Many coaches are under the impression that posting on social media will magically grow your audience and get you clients.
And I can tell you from experience that this is NOT the case.**
In fact, social media can become a huge waste of precious time and energy for many coaches.
It can also lead to feelings of comparison, inferiority and overwhelm.
That being said, I do NOT believe that social media is evil.
It is simply a tool. How you use it will determine how you feel about it.
That being said, I want you to know that using social media is 100% optional when it comes to growing a successful business.
There are plenty of marketing options that are super effective that don’t require you to spend any time on social media.
In this week’s video, I’m going to share the top ways you can get clients in your coaching business WITHOUT social media.Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclients

When it comes to marketing your business, are you stuck spinning your wheels, wondering what in the world you should talk about?
Perhaps you want to give a workshop.
Or
You want to start getting visible online.
But then you hear that little voice that says…
- You don’t know enough and need to do some extensive research before you post anything
- Why would anyone care?
- Everyone already know’s this stuff
- So many people are already talking about this, it’s not original or unique…
So instead of posting, you get stuck in analysis paralysis, doubting yourself and doing nothing to really get visible and get clients…and then feeling frustrated and disappointed that you’re not getting the results you want in your business.
Sound familiar?
If so, know you’re not alone ;)
Also know that clarity on a few key things can make a huge difference in your ability to create content and effectively market your coaching business.
In this week’s podcast I share the top five things you’ll use to create ALL your content for your business…whether it’s online, in person, or just communicating what you do to people you know.Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclients

The truth is that many new health coaches don’t really want clients.
They want to be a health coach. They want to make an impact in people’s lives. They want to make money doing something they love. They want more freedom and flexibility in their lives.
So they kinda put themselves out there.
And then they freak out and go into hiding because they’re scared.
They’re scared:
- To do consult calls
- To ask for money in exchange for their program
- That they won’t offer enough value
- Of hearing ‘NO’
- Of not knowing what to say
- Of their clients not getting results
- Of someone thinking they’re salesy, pushy, greedy, etc
- Of failing and looking like a fool
They’re scared.
Sound familiar?
This is something I hear from almost every new coach…and this fear can follow you even when you’ve had a fair amount of experience coaching.
So how do you overcome this fear and build your confidence so that you REALLY want clients.
When you REALLY want clients, you want to tell people about what it is you do, thus you WANT to market your business.
This changes everything.
And is the true key to signing clients and building a successful coaching business.
Want to know the secret to unshakable confidence as a health coach? That’s what I’m sharing in this week’s podcast.

Let’s talk about overwhelm.
One of the most common things I hear from new health coaches is that they feel completely overwhelmed with growing their businesses.
And I get it.
I’ve been there…and yes, I still find myself there sometimes…
The key to ending overwhelm is understanding WHY it is happening and then taking a few key action steps to stop it.
**In this video I’m going to share the 5 steps I take when I’m feeling overwhelmed with my business.
These are the steps that allow me to break free from procrastination and analysis paralysis so that I can take deliberate and effective action in my business.

Are you feeling totally lost when it comes to choosing a niche for your coaching business?
Perhaps you’re just getting started and are multi-passionate and can’t decide what you want to focus on…
Or perhaps you’ve been in business for awhile and you’re just not attracting the clients you desire and you’re wondering if it has to do with your messaging…
Or maybe your current niche is feeling a bit off…you just don’t feel excited about it.
Whatever the case…I want to help you put your ‘niche drama’ behind you so that you can confidently move forward with your business and attract clients…so you can create the impact AND the income you desire.
In this week’s video/podcast I share everything you need to know about choosing the BEST niche for you.
I share:
-The top 3 categories of coaching niches
-The 4 things you must know about your niche to effectively communicate what it is that you do (in a way that makes people EXCITED to work with you)
-The biggest niche mistakes most coaches make
-The specific circumstances that allow you to stay more general with your niche

We’re made to believe that starting a coaching business is easy peasy.
Many of the coach and business trainings paint the picture of it being ‘cake’.
All you need to do is get a certification, follow this step-by-step plan that someone else took in their business and you’ll have clients begging to work with you and you’ll be making $10K in 3 months.
The truth is that 90% of coaches (in my estimate) never make an income they can live off of in their business. Truly this number may be even higher.
Most coaches either never really get started in their business or they start and quickly (within the first 2 years) quit.
In this podcast I explain why that is and I share what you must know and do to become part of the 10% who do go on to create a successful business.

Do you get to the end of the day and feel like you’ve spent a ton of time and energy on your business but have nothing to show for it?
Perhaps you find yourself getting stuck in a cycle of procrastination and analysis paralysis.
You feel mentally exhausted…but are no closer to getting the clients and creating the income you desire in your business.
Frustrating, right?
If you’re nodding your head, know you’re not alone.
I hear this from coaches ALL THE TIME.
The good news is that you can have a successful coaching business by working smarter, not harder.
The key is being efficient with your time and energy so that you accomplish the tasks that will actually move the needle forward in your business.
And the even better news is that when you work in this way, you go from feeling overwhelmed and unproductive to focused and accomplished.
Woohoo!
In this week’s episode, I share the 7 steps you can take to double, maybe even triple or quadruple your productivity in your coaching business.
And the key here is the word ‘productive’ which according to the Oxford dictionary means ‘achieving or producing a significant amount or result’ so yes, this means getting clients and making income in your business.

We live in a world where we're taught that more equals better.
Where the more complicated something is, the more valuable we believe it is.
And yes, this same thinking is applied to our business.
We are led to believe that in order to be successful, we should:
- Outsource as much work as possible (aka: hire a bunch of people)
- Create a bunch of programs
- Market EVERYWHERE and as often as possible
- Use a bunch of complicated technology and systems to market and run our businesses
I’ve been a coach for almost a decade and I can tell you from experience that none of this stuff really matters when it comes to building a successful coaching business. In fact, a lot of it can actually keep you stuck spinning your wheels and wasting your precious time and energy.
I’ve found that simplicity is key. Simplicity allows you to focus. And focus allows you to move forward without the overwhelm. And it allows you to become really good at what you do.
Let’s say goodbye to complication and hello to simple and streamlined.
Want to find out how? That is exactly what I share in this week’s video. I share the 6 things you need to grow your coaching business in a way that efficient, overwhelm free and actually works!

You only have to spend about 5 minutes on social media before you are bombarded with messages about how much money you should be making in your coaching business…
Make $5K in 30 days
$10K months
$100K year
7 figures
And then you’re told things like…
Offer ‘high ticket’ programs
Work with ‘premium’ clients
I can show you exactly how to make $10K in the next 60 days following this EXACT strategy
Yadda yadda yadda
I’ve been in the coaching industry from almost a decade and I can tell you from experience that this is all a bunch of B.S.
Not that this isn’t possible. It is.
You CAN create a profitable business. You can make 6 figures and beyond.
But the path to get there is what really matters and the marketing we see often doesn’t accurately portray what this journey looks like or how long it takes to get there…
Expecting that you should ‘make $10K in 60 days’ as a new coach is setting an unrealistic expectation (possible, but not the reality for 99.9% of people) and this quick rush is not setting you up for long term success, sustainability and enjoyment in your business. It’s setting you up to crash and burn….not what you want, right?
So what’s the truth about making money in your coaching business? How do we become truly ‘wealthy’ as a coach?
That’s exactly what I’m going to share with you in this episode.

Which platform is better for building your coaching business? YouTube or Podcasts?
And should you consider using either of these platforms or is it more effective to stick to social media such as Facebook and Instagram?
I posted my first YouTube video six years ago.
Since then I’ve created hundreds of videos.
And then last year I felt the desire to experiment with podcasting, so I gave myself a bit of a break from creating videos and instead created some podcasts.
I’ve now created 13 podcasts and felt called to reflect on my experience of using both platforms, YouTube and Podcasts.
I really enjoy both platforms and think they are effective tools for building your business.
I do think that YouTube has some important advantages over podcasts which is why I decided to switch back to creating YouTube videos (for now) but provide you with the option to listen to it as a podcast.
In this week’s episode I share why I think both YouTube and Podcasts are powerful tools for the long term growth of your business. I also share why I think YouTube has some advantages over podcasting.

If I asked you why you weren’t getting the results you want in your business, what would your response be?
It may be….
- I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
- I don’t know where to get started
- I’m scared to put myself out there
- I’m not confident in my coaching skills
- I’m overwhelmed
- I don’t know how to get more clients
- I need more motivation/accountability
These may seem like valid reasons…
But if you find yourself saying any of these things, the underlying reason you’re not getting the results you want is because of self-sabotage.
I may be true that you need support. Not getting the support you know you need is self-sabotage.
When it comes to getting the results you want in your business, and really in all areas of your life, you have the power within you to make it happen.
The question is, are you giving your power away?
If you don’t have the results you want in any area of your life, then the answer is YES.
But often we are not aware of all the ways that we’re giving our power away (also known as self-sabotage).
When you become aware of this, you can choose differently. Choose to wield your power in a way that gets you want you want in life.
This is what you want, right?
So how do you end self-sabotage and use your power to create the business and life you want? That’s exactly what I share with you in this week’s podcast.

Happy new year!
As we dive into 2023, I want to talk about a topic that is near and dear to my heart…changing your mind.
Changing your mind gets a bad rap.
Often we think that changing your mind means that you’re:
- Wishy washy
- Not committed
- Are a quitter
- Throwing away time and/or money
- Irresponsible, unreliable and unsatiable
And because we believe these things…or are afraid of other people believing these things about us, we avoid changing our minds or changing our paths.
This leads us to living a life where we feel unsatisfied and don’t fulfill our full potential.
In this week’s podcast I share my journey with changing my mind, and yes, I’ve done it a lot in all areas of my life: my career, my relationships, my health, my finances and where I live…
I also talk about why giving yourself permission to change your mind is a very good thing and how to know when you’re changing your mind for the right reasons….this is super important.If you're interested in working together to start or scale your coaching business in a way that highlights your authenticity, helps your clients get the very best results and allows you to do things in your unique way, you can book a free business breakthrough session with me by clicking here
Happy holidays and almost new year!
I spent the holidays in Wisconsin with my family.
It was the perfect mix of family bonding and chilling…two Christmas dinners, a trip to the children’s museum, a night out downtown, Christmas cookie decorating, watching Home Alone and a partridge in a pear tree. :)
We’re headed back to Colorado today to ring in the new year.
As I reflect on all that I’ve learned this past year, my biggest lesson has been in abundance.
Specifically what abundance REALLY means to me.
We throw around the word abundance a lot in the coaching industry.
We all want a business and life that are abundant, right?
And although I’ve made plenty of money in my business for the past six years, I haven’t felt abundant.
WHY?
This year I did the reflection necessary to figure out what exactly was ‘off’ and worked on creating a business and life that felt TRULY abundant.
I’m sharing all that I’ve learned about abundance in this week’s podcast.If you're interested in working together to start or scale your coaching business in a way that highlights your authenticity, helps your clients get the very best results and allows you to do things in YOUR UNIQUE WAY, you can book a free business breakthrough session with me by clicking here
The truth is that most of us care what other people think of us.
We want other people to:
- Support us
- Be proud of us
- Cheer us on
- Agree with us
- Believe in us
- Think that everything we do is amazing
And we especially want this when it comes to our business, because being an entrepreneur can feel especially scary and vulnerable.
It’s a big deal to put yourself out there.
So when other people start doubting you or criticizing you, it can feel like a real blow to your self-confidence.
You may start to doubt yourself and think…
- I don’t really have what it takes
- This is a silly idea
- I'm selfish
- This is irresponsible
- I don’t know enough
- Nobody will pay me that much
- This new offer will never sell
- If I do what I want in my business, I won’t get clients
- I’m going to fail…and everyone is going to judge me and laugh at me
Any of this sounding familiar?
If so, this week’s podcast is for you!
In this episode I share the sneaky ways you’re letting the thoughts and opinions of others determine your life path.
Once you see this clearly, and decide that you’re done with this silliness, you will be FREE to be and do what YOUR heart desires. Yay! :)

Most of my clients are introverts and hate the idea of being loud and pushy to be seen.
They don’t want to:
- Spend all day glued to their computer.
- Do silly reels that feel totally inauthentic.
- Post every detail of their lives on social media.
- Stalk people online and sneakily pretend they want to be their friend or send them random messages.
The good news is you don’t have to do ANY of this silly jazz to market your business and get clients.
You do need to get visible, but you can do it in a way that FEELS good to you.
This is absolutely essential.
Doing marketing that feels ‘icky’ or exhausting will never work in the long run. You will end up burning out and wanting to quit.
In this week’s podcast I share all that I’ve learned over the past 10 years about how to market your coaching business effectively.
You’ll learn the 5 key things you must have in place to get clients. And I share the systems I use that have allowed me to build and sustain a multi-6 figure business for the past 5 years…without doing anything icky or energy draining.

Let’s talk about passive income programs/products.
They sound so sexy, right?
Who doesn’t want income just rolling into their bank account without having to lift a finger?
But this is the truth…there is no such thing as truly ‘passive’ income when it comes to running a coaching business.
Even if you have a product that doesn’t require your time and energy, you still are the one who is responsible for marketing that product.
Many coaches hear about creating ‘passive income’ products and think this is the key to making their dreams come true.
And although there is nothing wrong with creating these programs, often they end up not selling, not helping your clients get results and not helping you make money.
So what really is the key to creating amazing programs that SELL? And that get your clients results, because this should be the MOST important thing, and often is not when it comes to ‘passive’ income.
In this week’s podcast I share the truth about all things passive income in the coaching industry.If you're interested in working together to start or scale your coaching business in a way that highlights your authenticity, helps your clients get the very best results and allows you to do things in YOUR UNIQUE WAY, you can book a free business breakthrough session with me by clicking here
When you have your own business, you are signing up to be a creator.
And yes, that means BEING creative and contributing value to the world.
This is why people pay us…because we offer VALUE.
The more value you offer, the more opportunity there is to make a big impact and make a big income.
This is a win-win…making money by making the world a better place.
Now, more than ever, it is relatively easy (the steps, not the mindset :)) to build a business thanks to the internet.
But that also means that there are more and more people starting businesses and more and more competition for attention.
So how do you get noticed?
How do you stand out as THE ONE your dream clients must work with?
Luckily there is no need to be loud and pushy to be seen.
Hallelujah for us introverts, right? ;)
The true key lies in being unique and finding YOUR voice and message.
Copy-cat businesses are boring. They lack authenticity. They lack heart and pizazz.
They fall flat.
The energy just isn’t aligned...and they will feel 'off' and unenjoyable to YOU.
So let’s talk about what you can do to avoid creating a ‘cookie-cutter’ business and instead creating something that is straight from your heart and soul. Something that jumps out to people and leaves them wanting to get to know you and work with YOU.
That is exactly what I’m sharing with you in this week’s podcast.

You know that little voice in your head that tells you that you’re not capable of achieving the same level of success as other people in your business?
That voice is especially loud when you jump on social media and start looking at other coaches…
It starts innocently enough…’I just want to see what other people are up to.’
And before you know it you’ve fallen down the social media black hole and the voice in your head is telling you:
- You’re not good enough
- She is prettier and skinnier
- She has more followers
- You’re too far behind
- You’re not outgoing enough
- You’re not ambitious enough
- You’ll never do it as good as ‘so and so’
- You can’t possible compete with what she has to offer
- You need to do more…offer more…create more
- Her life is way better than yours
How do I know this?
Because we all have this voice.
But for some of us, this voice is enough to take us out of the game…the game of creating the business and life we want.
The internet has opened us up to a whole new level of comparison on a daily basis. We can literally see what millions of people are up to with a click of a mouse…and this often leads that little voice in our head to telling us that we’re not good enough.
In fact, many of us struggle with a little something I like to call an 'inferiority complex.'
**In this week’s podcast I want to shine a light on your inferiority complex (if you have one...the vast majority of us do) so that you can see it clearly.
I will also be sharing my story with my own inferiority complex and the 4 steps I’ve taken to go from feeling like certain things were out of my reach to believing I can create the results I want in my business and my life.**If you're interested in exploring working together to grow your business, you can book a free business breakthrough session with me HERE.
Lately I’ve done a lot of reflecting on my business. I’ve felt the need to be a bit more quiet than usual. To go inward and reflect. A call to mix things up. To think outside the box. To do things EXACTLY how I WANT to do them.
I’ve gotten to a spot where I’m ready to make some big shifts and am in the process of doing so…you will see them over the next few months…
I first started my business almost 10 years ago (as of January 2023). Oh my goodness, how time flys. And in those years of being a (mostly online) entrepreneur I’ve learned a lot.
A lot about what works.
A lot about what doesn’t work.
A lot about the benefits of having an online coaching business.
A lot about the challenges of having an online business.
A lot about what success really looks and feels like.
And that is exactly what I want to share with you this week.
