Beyond Fitness: Ramona Kossowan on Healing and Self-Trust

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we’re joined by Ramona Kossowan , founder of Ramona K Coaching, a women’s empowerment coach, gentle trauma release practitioner, and fitness professional working primarily with midlife women. Ramona explains how her work goes far beyond traditional fitness, blending trauma-informed coaching, nervous system regulation, mindful movement, and sustainable nutrition. She shares why emotions, identity, and the nervous system often drive long-term habits, and why restrictive diets and extreme workouts frequently fail women navigating menopause, burnout, or major life transitions.Ramona also reflects on her entrepreneurial journey, inspired by watching her mother build a successful herbal wellness business while raising seven children. She discusses her shift from payroll work and holistic weight-loss coaching into empowerment and trauma-informed practices, her preference for deep one-on-one client work, and how she helps women move out of survival mode and into self-trust. The conversation highlights what compassionate, whole-person transformation looks like, why true change takes time to integrate, and how Ramona is thoughtfully expanding her offerings while staying aligned with her values.🔗 Connect with RamonaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-kossowan-380ba66a/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ramonakcoachingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ramonakcoachingSubstack: https://substack.com/@ramonakcoachingWebsite: https://www.ramonakcoaching.comGentle Trauma Coach: https://www.gentletraumacoach.com
