  • This industry is oversaturated.

    This industry is oversaturated.

    The #1 myth I hear about being a life coach is that this industry is oversaturated. I get clients that say “…but there’s already so many people doing <insert whatever they want to help people with>.” It’s so interesting to me because you don’t hear people saying that about lawyers and doctors. Even within those…

    The Moment I Decided to Be a Life Coach

    The moment I decided I wanted to be a life coach, I was watching a video online about how it was the perfect career. The coach’s story sounded exactly like mine:?successful by society’s standards,?yet unfulfilled in her corporate job,?wanting to make more of an impact in the world, ?and feeling like she should be doing more.…

    3 Steps to Decide Who to Help as a Life Coach

    Many of my clients come to me not having a clue as to who they want to help in their life coaching business. This is normal.  In fact, it took me a few iterations to figure it out for myself. However, the following three steps are ultimately what helped me decide who I wanted to…

  • The REAL reason you’re on the fence about becoming a life coach

    You feel a “nudge” to become a life coach. It sounds perfect for you, but you’re unsure. But it’s not because you don’t have the time. It’s not because you don’t know who you want to help. It’s not because you think you need to be certified. It’s because you don’t believe you’re good enough.…

  • Wanna Make an Impact?

    Wanna Make an Impact?

    I remember making all the money in corporate but then feeling like the work I was doing didn’t matter. It became important to me to feel like I was making an impact in the world. I felt called to do this through life coaching, but had to make sure it was a good fit for…

  • You won’t believe how much I paid for life coach certification.

    $18,000. Yep. And it has been worth every single penny.  However, I didn’t HAVE to go that route – I would’ve been successful without it.  It was a personal decision for me to do it.  You think you want to be a coach, but you’re apprehensive about the financial investment.  There are no requirements/regulations for…

    How much money can you make as a life coach?

    That is likely one of the determining factors in your decision to become a life coach or not. Here is what I know: I’ve made over $100K in my business. My goal is $200K for this year. I know many coaches who have done several hundred thousand. I recently attended a mastermind where there were…

  • Is Life Coaching in your “More to Life?”

    Is Life Coaching in your “More to Life?”

    It was for me. But not for some others who started this journey with me. I remember getting home from my corporate job one day and thinking “There’s gotta be more to life than this.” Going to a job everyday that wasn’t horrible, but one that left me unfulfilled was taking a toll on me.…

  • Are You the “Go-To” Friend?

    Are You the “Go-To” Friend?

    I remember thinking about what my perfect career would look like.  I knew it would involve me helping people, especially women, in a more direct way. I loved people and learning about their stories and how that has shaped their current lives.  I loved listening to challenges they were facing and giving them perspectives that they…

  • “Who am I to be a life coach when my life isn’t perfect?”

    I’m willing to bet that question has crossed your mind as you think about starting your business. Does a doctor need to be in perfect health to help you? Or do they just need to know how to help you? Most people are not concerned with what your life looks like. They just need to…
