The Truth About Starting a Coaching Business as a Therapist [Ep 134]
Description
What if I told you my coaching business started completely by accident? I spent years trying to make wellness workshops and recovery coaching work - but none of it stuck. All along the way, something else was happening. My therapist colleagues started asking me for help with their practices. Before I knew it, I had three paying clients and thought, "holy crap, there's something going on here."
In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I went from struggling to gaining traction with multiple business ideas to building what I have now–one-on-one coaching, international retreats, and scalable programs. I'll tell you about the moment someone handed me more money than I'd ever received at once, why the pandemic became my unexpected business accelerator, and the one non-negotiable factor that made all the difference (it's not what most business gurus tell you).
If you’ve been toying with the idea of stepping beyond your therapy practice but feel stuck or scared, this episode will give you the clarity (and the kick) to see what’s actually possible when you start a coaching business the right way.
