Kate Evans on Building a Sustainable One-Woman Coaching Business

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, Kate Evans, founder of Soulful Space Coaching and author of Ditch Your Sht: Decluttering Your Mindset to Declutter Your Home*, shares how her background in psychology and private practice counseling evolved into a holistic coaching business for ambitious women. With decades of experience in women’s empowerment, Kate discovered a powerful connection between emotional well-being and physical clutter after decluttering her own home. That realization led her to blend therapy-informed coaching, mindset work, and home organization into an integrative approach that helps women create sustainable change from the inside out.Kate opens up about transitioning from a well-known in-person therapist in the Chicago suburbs to building a fully virtual brand through social media, lead magnets, and free discovery sessions. She reflects on choosing to remain a one-woman business by design, prioritizing sustainability over scale, while expanding her impact through writing and thought leadership. With plans to submit her second book proposal and grow her YouTube presence with self-care and mindset content, Kate is focused on evolving her coaching into a more holistic, integrative model—while navigating the very real challenge of self-accountability that many founders face.
