Health coaching is becoming easier to package, automate, and sell cheaply – but your certification can still be the foundation for something much bigger. In this episode, Michelle shares three ways to move beyond a traditional health coaching practice by drawing on your previous experience, connecting your work to outcomes people already want, and rethinking what your business could look like altogether. You'll also hear why "health coach" may be better used as a tool than a job description.

What happens when AI can generate meal plans, answer health questions, and even replace entire coaching teams? It's already happening.
In this episode, we explore why the future belongs to health coaches who stop trying to sound perfect and start leaning into the one thing AI can never replicate: being deeply, unmistakably human.

AI is everywhere. Anyone can ask ChatGPT a health question and get an answer in two seconds. So why would a health coach bother writing a blog post?
Because a blog that's built to convert clients is a completely different thing from the content your audience is already drowning in, and Jana Osofsky has spent years figuring out exactly how to build one.
Jana joins Michelle to talk about the capsule blog: a library of 12 to 20 intentionally chosen posts built around what your potential clients need to hear before they're ready to say yes to your offer.
They get into why most coaches are writing the wrong things entirely, how to use AI without having your blog sound like everyone else's, and why "you're not a blogger, you're a coach with a blog" might be the most important reframe for any growing health coaches.
Jana and Michelle are also teaching a free live training on June 18th on exactly how to build your capsule blog and use it to sign clients on repeat. Register at https://HealthCoachPower.com/Blogging

You left your career, your title, your salary. Maybe your window office. And now you're sitting there with a health coaching certification, wondering what comes next and why it feels so disorienting.
In this episode, Michelle gets real about what it was actually like to leave her senior art director role at one of Boston's biggest ad agencies to become a health coach. Spoiler: the hardest part had nothing to do with money.
She breaks down the identity shift that blindsides so many career changers, why your previous experience makes you more valuable as a coach, not less, and the single moment that finally made her believe in herself.
She also shares the mistake almost every career changer makes when they come out of health coaching school, and what to do instead if you actually want to build a business.

You're posting, creating freebies, running workshops, doing the stuff. And still not gaining traction. The problem usually isn't effort. It's that all those efforts aren't working together.
In this episode, Michelle breaks down the 3-part client flow she developed through years of trial and error in her own health coaching practice, designed so that each effort feeds the next.
She also shares the hard lesson she learned after spending a year building a big, engaged audience that never spent a dime, and why finding proven demand before you build anything is the whole game.

You've been coaching long enough to know this works. But life has a way of putting your business on the back burner, and suddenly months (or years) have gone by.
The good news? You don't need a wide-open schedule to rebuild momentum. You need a better plan for the hours you actually have.
In this episode, I'm breaking down why time constraints can work in your favor, what to stop spending those precious hours on, and what to focus on instead when you only have 2 to 3 hours a week to grow your practice.

A health coach recently donated a three-month coaching package to a school auction. Not one person bid on it, even after they dropped the price to $150.
If you've been hearing my warnings that nobody wants health coaching, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
In this episode, I'm getting honest about why health coaches struggle to get clients, even when they have a great niche, a program, a newsletter, and a heart of gold.

A while back, I went through every subscription and contractor I was paying for in my business and started cutting. About $5,000 a month, gone. But there was one tool I didn't cancel, and I actually doubled down on it.
That tool is ChatGPT. And in this episode, I'm introducing you to the person who taught me how to use it the right way.
Sarah Cook is a former naturopathic doctor with over 20 years in the wellness space. These days, she helps practitioners stop getting generic, robotic output from ChatGPT and start getting content that actually sounds like them.

Years ago, a very quiet young woman walked into one of my very first workshops at a local yoga studio. She wasn't searching for a health coach. In fact, she had never even heard of one. But she was in the room, and I was in the room, and that one hour changed the entire direction of her life.
This story (and many others from my own private practice) is why I believe workshops are the fastest way to get health coaching clients, and why I think they matter more today than they ever have.

Stephanie Smith spent a year trying to make her health coaching business work. She had clients here and there, tried different offers, and tested different messaging. But the income never matched the effort.
So she went back to her job as a pharmacist. And somehow, that was the turning point.
Without the financial pressure on her business, she got laser-focused. She stopped spending weeks on Instagram reels and online courses. She started doing the things that actually moved the needle: narrowing her niche, refining her offer, getting on the phone with people who needed her.
By January of this year, she earned in one month what she had made in health coaching for the entire previous year.
We talk about:
If your health coaching business feels like it's going nowhere, this one is for you. Because Stephanie isn't some overnight success story. She's someone who kept showing up, stayed willing to start over, and finally found what works.

ChatGPT Health launched, and the health coaching community is buzzing. Some coaches are terrified. Others are dismissive. A few are genuinely curious.
But here's what matters: when information is instant, unlimited, and free, what are people actually paying you for?
In this episode, I share the story of a client who came to me wanting to lose weight. She'd been chasing that goal since she was eight years old. But what she really needed? A human who could see the whole picture. Someone brave enough to challenge her beliefs about weight loss and happiness.
One question changed everything. Within months, she was climbing to the Mount Everest base camp.

If you've been worried about AI replacing health coaching, this episode is for you. Because in a world full of botsAI, being human might just be your biggest competitive advantage.

What actually moves your health coaching business forward?
It's usually not intense planning, automations, or perfectly designed systems.
In this episode, I'm sharing three real stories from health coaches inside my Empowered mastermind who stopped waiting to feel "ready" and took imperfect action anyway. Each of them made money, signed clients, or uncovered unexpected opportunities by doing things before everything was set up.
You'll hear how:
These stories all happened recently, and they're honest, messy, and very real. If you've been stuck trying to get everything organized before you finally put yourself out there, hopefully this episode will help give you the confidence to take action!

This week I'm sharing a conversation with women's fitness and transformation coach Shannon Hanson, who made the switch from restaurant manager to full-time coach in exactly one year.
In this episode, Shannon walks us through what happened during that year, including the parts most coaches skip over. She shares what it was like announcing her new career before she felt fully ready, why her early "I help everyone" approach fell flat, and how choosing to focus on women over 40 suddenly made outreach much easier. We got into the promotion that brought her nine new clients, the beta program that taught her a few hard lessons, and the day she realized she really didn't need her job anymore.

Ever feel pressure to fit into a certain "nutrition camp" or act like an online guru just to be seen as legit?
Erin Power has been a practicing health coach for over a decade, working mostly with women in their 40s and 50s who've spent a lifetime dieting and are exhausted by the whole thing. She's also the coaching director at Primal Health Coach Institute, where she trains coaches in both the methodology and mindset of real-world coaching.
In this episode, Erin and Michelle talk about coaching from a primal/ancestral perspective without falling into dogma, and what it really takes to help women lose weight in midlife. You'll hear how Erin intentionally works in longer coaching containers, what she does when clients don't lose weight right away, and why she believes most of the work is emotional—not just nutritional.
