Will AI and weight loss meds replace coaches — or make us more essential than ever?In this episode, I’m sharing my predictions for the future of coaching in a world where artificial intelligence can generate instant meal plans and prescriptions can shrink appetites overnight.

AI and medications may change the game — but they’ll never replace the transformation only a skilled coach can deliver.If you’ve ever wondered what it will really take to stay relevant (and in demand) in this new era of coaching, this episode will open your eyes.👉 Want to future-proof your career and gain the exact skills today’s (and tomorrow’s) clients are looking for?

You've got goals. Business goals, client goals, revenue goals. So why does it still feel like something's missing? What if the burnout plaguing health coaches isn't about marketing strategies—but about losing sight of why you started helping people transform their lives?In this brutally honest conversation, Amanda and Laura pull back the curtain on what's really been going on at FIT CHICKS Academy. We had crystal-clear goals, strategy, systems, success—but we'd lost the vision that made our coaching transformational in the first place.You'll hear the uncomfortable moment we realized our goals were driving us toward someone else's definition of success, and the radical shift we're making to get back to what actually creates lasting change.Most importantly, we share exactly how to reconnect with your authentic vision as a health coach—the one that will fuel your goals and make you unstoppable. This isn't about surface-level "why" exercises. This is about tapping into the vision that transforms exhausting hustle into effortless momentum.If you're crushing your goals but feeling empty, this conversation will show you what's been missing all along.The bottom line: Goals tell you what to do. Vision tells you why it matters. And without that why, you're just spinning your wheels.✨ Got a question for us?

I used to think I was broken. 17 years of binge eating, 50 pounds overweight, anxiety through the roof - despite being named a Top Fitness Professional. Then I discovered the difference between someone who loses weight and gains it back, and someone who transforms their body and keeps it off for 14+ years. It's not willpower. It's not genetics. It's not even the 'right' diet. It's something much deeper - and much more powerful. In this episode, I reveal the 3 identity shifts that not only ended my weight struggle forever but turned my mess into a message that's helped over 1,000 women become certified health coaches.
