You Are the Magic You're Waiting For

If showing up online feels uncomfortable, exhausting, or just… not like you — you're not alone.A lot of health coaches struggle with visibility — not because they don't care about their work, but because putting themselves out there feels vulnerable, performative, or just really hard.In this episode, I'm talking about why visibility feels so hard (especially if you're more introverted) — and it's probably not what you think.Discover:* The real reason hiding feels so natural (and why it makes sense)* Why introversion isn't actually the problem* What's really keeping you from showing up for your coaching business* A more sustainable way to think about visibility as a health coachIf you've been waiting until you feel "ready" to show up — this one's for you.👉 Ready to build a coaching business that feels aligned?

Most people think self-sabotage looks obvious. Procrastinating. Avoiding. Just not trying.But in reality? It usually feels completely reasonable in the moment.It looks like overthinking. Second-guessing. Tweaking things instead of finishing them. Telling yourself you just need to get a little clearer first — and then suddenly another week has gone by and you still haven't done the thing.In this episode, I'm walking you through what self-sabotage actually looks like inside your coaching business, and why most people don't even realize it's happening.If you've ever felt stuck even though you know what to do — this one's for you.In this episode:00:00 – What self-sabotage actually looks like01:27 – The patterns that feel productive (but aren't)03:15 – How it plays out in real life05:30 – Why you keep doing it07:00 – A different way to look at your business10:00 – What to do with thisGet the free Ideal Client Workbook →https://kristinhartjes.com/idealclientworkbookWork with me → https://www.kristinhartjes.co/contact-businessmentoring

Struggling with confidence as a health coach? It's probably not what you think — and it's not about getting more certificationsIf you don’t feel confident as a health coach…it’s probably not because you don’t know enough.This is something I see all the time with health coaches and practitioners.You’ve taken the trainings.You’ve learned a lot.But when it comes to actually putting yourself out there… something still feels off.In this episode, I walk through:• why confidence doesn’t come from more certifications or knowledge• what’s actually missing when you feel unsure in what you’re offering• how to start building real confidence in your work• and why this directly impacts your ability to get clientsBecause the truth is—you can “know a lot” and still not feel confident.Confidence comes from something much more simple… and much more practical.If you’re in this place right now—feeling unclear, stuck, or not fully confident in what you’re offering—this is exactly the work I support my clients with.Through personalized mentoring and support, we focus on:• getting clear on what you’re offering• building confidence in how you actually help people• and creating a business that feels aligned—and brings in clientsIf you want support with this, you can learn more or apply to work with me here:👉 https://www.kristinhartjes.co/contact-businessmentoring✨ IDEAL CLIENT WORKBOOKOne of the most important steps to starting your coaching business is getting crystal clear on your ideal client.

👉 Why do some health coaches make money… while others stay stuck?It’s easy to assume it comes down to strategy, marketing, or consistency.But more often, the difference comes from something less visible:Self-doubtOverthinkingSecond-guessingAnd not fully trusting yourself to move forwardAt a certain point, building a coaching business isn’t about learning more.It’s about what’s happening underneath how you show up.In this episode, I walk through:– what actually determines your income as a health coach– the patterns that keep capable practitioners stuck– and what allows some people to move forward while others don’tIf this resonates and you’re feeling stuck in your business, you can learn more about working together here:→ https://www.kristinhartjes.co/aligned-business-mentoring✨IDEAL CLIENT WORKBOOKThis workbook will give you clarity on your ideal client, your offer and your message!https://kristinhartjes.com/idealclientworkbook

If you feel like you’re not ready yet to fully step into your coaching business… this might be why.A lot of health practitioners and coaches stay stuck in “learning mode”—thinking they need more knowledge, more certifications, or more clarity before they can really move forward.But at a certain point, learning becomes a way of avoiding the very thing that actually builds confidence: doing the work.In this episode, I talk about:– why this pattern happens– how it keeps you stuck– and what actually helps you move forwardIf this resonates and you’re feeling stuck in your business, you can learn more about working together here:→ https://www.kristinhartjes.co/aligned-business-mentoring✨IDEAL CLIENT WORKBOOKThis workbook will give you clarity on your ideal client, your offer and your message!https://kristinhartjes.com/idealclientworkbook

If you hate selling your coaching services, it’s not a sign you should quit your business. It’s a sign something is off.Usually, it’s one of these 3 things:1. You don’t fully believe in your offer2. Your message or ideal client isn’t quite right3. You’re trying to market in a way that doesn’t fit youMost health coaches think: “I just need to get better at selling.” But that’s not actually the problem.You need a way of getting clients that works for you — your strengths, your energy, your way of connecting. Not louder. Not pushier. Not pretending to be someone you’re not.In this episode, I break down exactly how to find that method.✨IDEAL CLIENT WORKBOOKThis workbook will give you clarity on your ideal client, your offer and your message!https://kristinhartjes.com/idealclientworkbook✨ WORK WITH MEAnd if you’re in a place where you want support building a business that actually fits you — your strengths, your way of working, your life — you can explore that here: https://www.kristinhartjes.co/aligned-business-mentoring

Are you stuck chasing every new marketing strategy instead of building a sustainable coaching business? You're not alone.This week I'm sitting down with my past client, Diane, a physical therapist who dabbled in BeachBody (does that still exist? 😆) before becoming a successful emotional eating coach.

For so many coaches, finding the “right” marketing strategy becomes a never-ending quest.They hop from one guru to the next—following every formula—only to end up feeling inauthentic, burnt out, and frustrated with the results.And the worst part?They start thinking, “What’s wrong with me? Why did it work for them but not for me?”Here’s the truth: it’s not you.The problem is you’re following someone else’s roadmap for their business—not yours.Your business is unique.Your way of connecting, serving, and creating impact is unique.And that’s why following your intuition isn’t just a nice idea—it’s essential for building a business that’s sustainable, enjoyable, and truly yours.When you do, something shifts:✨ The right opportunities show up✨ Referrals and partnerships appear✨ You find your flow—and business feels lighterThis episode will show you exactly how to create a marketing plan that honors your intuition and gets results.🔔 Subscribe for more honest, practical content to help you build a coaching business that feels aligned and sustainable.Watch my free training that shows you 'The 5 Proven Keys to Building a Successful Health Coaching Business—Introvert-Style': https://kristinhartjes.com/introvertsguidetobizIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

You’re ready(ish) to start coaching…But where are those paying clients everyone keeps talking about?Maybe you’ve been posting on social media—sharing tips, telling your story, showing up.But instead of signing new clients, you’re met with crickets… or just your supportive friends liking your posts.Here’s the truth:Most successful new coaches don’t attract their first clients from cold audiences online.They start by tapping into something much more powerful: their existing network.This one simple strategy has helped many of my clients fill their coaching spots—without sliding into DMs, running ads, or posting 24/7.👉 In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to do it.If you’re just getting started and want a clear, non-icky path to booking your first clients…🔔 Subscribe for more honest, practical content to help you build a coaching business that feels aligned and sustainable.Watch my free training that shows you 'The 5 Proven Keys to Building a Successful Health Coaching Business—Introvert-Style': https://kristinhartjes.com/introvertsguidetobizIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

We often assume burnout comes from working too hard or being too busy.But in reality, burnout is more often the result of misalignment—when the work we’re doing no longer fits who we are or what we truly want.In my experience, that misalignment usually shows up in one of three ways:You’re not doing the work you’re truly meant to be doing.You’re in a work environment that drains you instead of energizes you.Your mindset around work is based on striving, perfectionism, and the belief that once you hit a certain goal, then you’ll finally feel happy and fulfilled.The truth is, our work matters. Not just because it takes up a huge portion of our time and energy—but because, for many of us, it’s a powerful source of meaning, purpose, and contribution.This was exactly the case for Sarah, a chiropractor who found herself feeling burnt out and disconnected from the way she was working. Quick appointments and surface-level care weren’t enough—she knew she was meant to create deeper healing.When she discovered coaching, everything clicked. Over the past three years, Sarah has built an online coaching business she absolutely loves. She’s transformed her relationship with confidence, money, and self-trust—allowing her to leave the clinic behind and move from the Netherlands to the beaches of South Africa.Sarah’s story is full of insight and inspiration.You can find Sarah here:IG: https://www.instagram.com/cliniciancoach_sarah/Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1EH95jXem7QY2E0kvMv8eC?si=4Sg7qdOVSsCXPbRMzVtqHgWatch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

Let’s be real: posting on social media alone isn’t enough to grow your coaching business and consistently get clients.Sure, there are a few magical unicorns out there who seem to build thriving businesses just from showing up online…But in my 10+ years of mentoring coaches, I’ve never actually met one in real life.And if you’re reading this, I’m guessing that constantly posting on social media feels more draining than energizing—maybe even makes you want to run and hide behind a tree. Here’s what I do know to be true:There’s no one-size-fits-all marketing strategy. What works for you has to align with your personality, your strengths, and your values.No two coaches build their businesses the same way—and that makes perfect sense.We all have different ideal clients, skills, experiences, and ways we naturally connect.That’s why it’s essential to find a marketing approach that feels authentic—something you actually enjoy doing.Because when you do, you start to align with the right opportunities, people, and clients.Everything feels easier… more flowy… more fun.That’s exactly what happened for Vika.At first, she thought she had to grow her business on social media—even though it felt completely unnatural.But the moment she started tapping into her local network and following what felt exciting, the game changed.She found aligned partnerships and opportunities that helped her grow her business without relying on social media.Vika also shares what it’s been like building her business while navigating ADHD—something so many people (especially women) are discovering in adulthood—and the simple but powerful strategies that helped her move forward.You can find Vika here:https://yourperigodmother.com/https://vikahealth.com/https://www.instagram.com/yourperigodmotherWatch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

Feeling stuck when it comes to pricing your health coaching services?Not sure what to charge, so you’re scrolling through other coaches’ websites trying to figure out the "going rate"?Here’s the truth:There’s no one-size-fits-all number when it comes to setting your rates.But there is a price that feels aligned for YOU—a number that reflects your value, feels good to say out loud, and actually attracts the right clients.And finding that sweet spot?It can be the difference between consistently booking clients… and hearing crickets.In this podcast, I’m breaking down exactly what to consider when pricing your coaching program—so you can stop second-guessing and start confidently sharing your offer.If you want support with starting or building your coaching or wellness business:Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

The truth? Life is uncomfortable.Sometimes just a little.Other times, deeply so.There’s a Chinese proverb that says,A fool prays for an easier path. A wise one prays for stronger legs.And it hits hard.What we often don’t realize is that much of our discomfort is chosen.Sure, life throws us curveballs beyond our control.But so much of what we face daily is within our hands.Take your work, for example.You might not be able to quit your job tomorrow with zero plan.But you can begin building something that aligns with who you are.Something that excites you, fulfills you, and expands your idea of what’s possible.Because here’s the thing:Starting a health coaching business is uncomfortable.It’s scary. Vulnerable. Stretching.But so is staying in a job that drains you.So this is your reminder: you get to choose your uncomfortable.This week on YouTube, I interviewed Hayley—a researcher turned health coach turned psychotherapist.We talk about what it really looks like to lean into discomfort, and how doing so became the key to building her business and life on her terms.We also dive into the magic of YouTube, and what it’s like to navigate social media as a highly sensitive introvert.You can follow along with Hayley here:https://hayleytrower.com/ https://www.instagram.com/the.mindful.psychotherapist/https://www.youtube.com/@drhayleytrowerhttps://www.facebook.com/drhayleytrower?locale=en_GBIf you want support with starting or building your coaching or wellness business:Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

Are You a Perfectionist?If so—welcome. You’re in good company.Now take a moment to reflect:How has perfectionism shaped your life?-Do you hold yourself to impossibly high standards?Is making a mistake something you just can’t accept?-Does criticism feel less like feedback and more like a personal attack? (Just me?)-Do you crave approval—wanting everyone to be proud of you and your choices?-Do you avoid taking risks, speaking your truth, or putting yourself out there?I see this all the time—especially with the people I coach. Almost every single one of them identifies as a perfectionist.They want to do it right. They want to do it well.Which is admirable… but also incredibly limiting.Perfectionism can feel like a cozy little safety cage—comfortable, familiar… and totally confining.It holds us back from discovering what’s truly possible.From exploring what we really want.From living fully—and having fun while we’re at it.We’re conditioned from an early age to strive for perfection:A+ grades. Gold stars. Praise for doing things “the right way.”But at some point, you start to realize… that stuff doesn’t actually matter.What matters is creating a life that feels authentic.A life that’s fulfilling, aligned—and yes, even fun.And if starting a business is something you’ve been dreaming about, please don’t let perfectionism be the thing that stops you.In this week’s video, I’m talking to Karen, a coach who helps mid-life women feel empowered with their finances—so they can live a life they love now and in retirement.Karen shares how building her business helped her finally let go of perfectionism, find her voice, and build real confidence in herself.You can follow along with Karen here:Website: www.karencarle.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/@KarenCarleCoachingIf you want support with starting or building your coaching or wellness business:Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

Most medical professionals enter the field with passion and purpose—bright-eyed, full of hope, and committed to making a real difference. The dream? To heal, to help, and to feel deeply fulfilled by meaningful work.But the reality? For many, it's a far cry from that dream.Instead, they find themselves stuck in a system they didn’t choose—one that:-Rewards speed over depth, pushing them to see as many patients as possible-Prioritizes prescriptions over true healing-Requires endless paperwork just to get services covered-Limits patient care to what insurance will allow-Largely ignores prevention, root-cause healing, and holistic approachesFor practitioners who value integrity, this model feels completely out of alignment. But stepping outside the system often comes with consequences—reprimands, restrictions, or worse.After years of following rules that clash with your core values, burnout is almost inevitable. And with it comes a deep longing for freedom—to practice medicine on your own terms, in your own way, wherever you choose.That’s why so many health professionals are now turning to health coaching and launching their own businesses—to reclaim their autonomy and do the work they actually believe in.And that’s exactly what Nicole did.Nicole, a physician assistant, started her own coaching business focused on helping menopausal women lose weight—a topic she’s both professionally experienced in and personally passionate about.Her business took off quickly. In fact, demand grew so rapidly that within just a few months, Nicole launched a group coaching program to accommodate the influx of clients eager to work with her.Incredible, right?If you want to follow along with Nicole, you can find her here:Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/600438808861705/YouTubehttps://youtube.com/@nicoledaltonhealthcoachingIf you want support with starting or building your coaching or wellness business:Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

Building a coaching business isn’t just about websites, clients, or content. It’s about becoming the kind of person who can hold space for others—while still holding space for your own growth.It’s a path of self-discovery, resilience, and deep alignment.You’ll meet imposter syndrome head-on. You’ll question your direction (probably more than once). There will be flashes of total clarity, followed by moments of “Wait… what am I even doing?”That’s all part of it.The truth is, your business evolves as you evolve. Every single step—whether it’s landing your first client or navigating a slower season—is shaping you into the coach you’re here to be.So if you’re in the thick of it right now—refining your niche, designing your offer, learning to trust yourself—you’re not alone. The journey is messy, meaningful, and far more powerful than any plug-and-play strategy.And yes, it’s worth it.It’s worth it to…✨ Do work that actually lights you up and reflects your passions and wisdom✨ Call your own shots—you decide when, where, and how you work✨ Stop wondering what if and finally find out what you're capable of (Spoiler: it’s more than you think)That’s why I’m so excited to share stories from a few of my past clients—coaches who’ve been in business for over a year and have learned so much through the ups and downs.Each journey is completely unique, which is why I’m a huge believer in a personalized, heart-centered approach to building your business.First up: Becky.A former nurse turned health coach, Becky now guides her clients through sustainable, empowering weight loss transformations.What I love most about Becky’s journey is how intentionally she’s built real, meaningful relationships with other business owners in her local community. This one decision has allowed her to grow her practice almost entirely through referrals.And let’s be honest—there’s something kind of magical about a referral-based business. Imagine this: people in your network consistently sending ideal clients your way. No pressure to post on social media. No constant content creation. Just genuine connection and word-of-mouth doing the heavy lifting.It’s a beautiful reminder that there are many ways to build a successful coaching business—and that the most aligned path is the one that feels true to you.If you want to follow along with Becky, you can find her here:Website https://healthtransformersmaine.com/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@healthtransformersmaineIf you want support with starting or building your coaching or wellness business:Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business, you can apply to do so here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comYouTube: https://www.youtube/kristinhartjesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

How do you find your perfect health coach niche?You’ve likely heard that a niche is essential, but why? And if you do need one, where should you focus? How can you know which niche truly aligns with you?This is one of the biggest challenges coaches face, and it can keep you stuck.That’s why today’s episode goes beyond the typical advice.I’ll dive into what I’ve learned from over a decade of helping coaches and healers build successful businesses, sharing insights that can help you choose a niche with confidence.Want to dive deeper with me?

The truth is, while calling yourself a health coach is easy, building a successful business as one is much harder. Most health coaches bring strong knowledge and passion to the table but often miss the crucial ingredient essential for business success.In this week’s episode, I’m revealing that key ingredient so you can apply it to your business and join the few who reach lasting success.Want to dive deeper with me?

Coaches often tell me that the methods taught by their coaching institutes can feel awkward—sometimes very awkward.They find themselves overthinking and holding back, instead of naturally engaging with clients. This often means relying too much on techniques and rules, rather than their own intuition, which is actually one of the most effective tools in coaching.In my work, I blend coaching and mentoring, whether supporting clients in health or business. Coaching alone can feel restrictive and may not fully meet clients’ needs. So, in this episode, I’ll explain the distinctions between coaching, mentoring, and therapy.Note: Staying within your scope of practice is essential, whether you’re coaching or mentoring.Want to dive deeper with me?

What’s the key ingredient to a successful health coaching business?Is it:Flashy marketing?Viral Reels of you dancing in the kitchen?Showing up on social media every day?Having the perfect coaching program?Being an extroverted attention-grabber?Nope. None of that.The real answer lies in your confidence and abilities as a health coach. That might sound intimidating, especially if you're just starting out, but it’s something you build with practice.In this episode, I’ll guide you step-by-step through how to conduct an effective health coaching session, giving you the foundation to grow your confidence and truly help your clients.And once you trust your skills, you’ll shift from fearing client interactions to being genuinely excited to help them, making your marketing efforts more authentic and successful.Want to dive deeper with me?

I wasn’t really aware of ‘manifestation’ until I started my coaching business in 2014. But soon after diving into the world of coaching and online business, it seemed to be everywhere, often hailed as the key to success. Naturally, I was intrigued by the idea, but the way it was presented felt a little too "woo-woo" and hard to apply. Now, after a decade of using these principles, I want to share how I’ve personally experienced manifestation and how I approach it.So, does it actually work?For me, the answer is yes.When I first started my health coaching business, life looked a lot different. I was balancing chiropractic and functional medicine work, a part-time job, and launching my coaching business—all while living at home and dealing with overwhelming student loan debt. I was also single.Fast forward 10 years, and I’ve achieved so much of what I set out to create:A business that lets me use my gifts, make a meaningful impact, and generate the income I desireA deep sense of belonging and communityA supportive partner with shared values and goalsA beautiful home in the mountains with incredible views and natural lightThe freedom to create my own schedule, work from anywhere, and travel (12 trips last year!)Time and resources to focus on my health and well-beingPlenty of time in natureSome of these things manifested quickly, while others took more time, but persistence and patience were key. And of course, this process is ongoing, evolving as I refine what I want and need in life.So, how can you start manifesting the life and business you truly desire? In today’s podcast, I’ll break it down into clear, actionable steps—without the ‘woo-woo’—so you can easily apply these principles to both your business and your life.Want to dive deeper with me?

When it comes to getting coaching clients, most of us would like to believe in the idea of ‘if you build it, they will come.’This sounds very nice.Very convenient.Very comfortable.Just let people know that you’re a coach and accepting clients, make a business Facebook or Instagram page, and ‘poof’, you’ll have plenty of people who are interested in hiring you.Unfortunately many coaching certifications and business coaches paint this picture.I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but I believe in honesty and transparency, and after helping 100’s of coaches build businesses over the past decade, plus knowing hundreds of coaches and being a part of the coaching industry, I know first hand that this is a bunch of bull shit (excuse my language, but it’s true).Just like taking a ‘magic pill’ isn’t going to help someone lose weight and keep it off long term (no matter how much people wish this were true), there isn’t some quick and easy magic trick to getting coaching clients in a way that will build a sustainable and profitable business.But this is the good news…it is totally possible to get clients (in a way that feels good to you) and create a wildly successful coaching business.It does, however, require that you understand the different parts of the marketing process and have a system in place that works for YOU personally!In this podcast, I share the keys to getting coaching clients right NOW…because what may have worked well 2, 5 or even 10 years ago is not necessarily what is working well for people now.Want to dive deeper with me?

As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, procrastinator, and overthinker who's battled an eating disorder, I’m no stranger to self-sabotage.In fact, I know it all too well.It’s one thing to deal with things outside your control, but a whole other kind of pain when you're the one 'torturing' yourself.It may sound dramatic, but it feels like breaking your own heart over and over again—painful, frustrating, and maddening.So, how does this connect to building a coaching business?In short: it means everything.The biggest difference between those who have a successful business and those who don’t isn’t:IntelligenceTraining or certificationsExperienceMarketing skillsWriting or video expertiseIt is SELF-SABOTAGE.Self-sabotage is a sneaky force we all deal with—it’s something every human experiences. However, some of us struggle with it more than others, and it tends to show up more prominently in certain areas of our lives.If you've engaged in self-sabotaging behaviors in any area of your life, it's likely those same patterns will resurface—perhaps even more intensely—when you start building your business.But I have good news for you.Despite what we often think, self-sabotaging behaviors serve a purpose. When you understand why they show up, you gain the clarity to overcome them and build the business you truly desire.This insight can completely transform both your business and your life! In this week's podcast, I’ll walk you through exactly how to do that.Want to dive deeper with me?

Do you consider yourself an introvert?How about a highly sensitive person (or as I prefer, a person with sensory processing sensitivity)?Have you thought about how this may impact your business building process?If not, no worries. I didn’t think about this, either, until after I was in the process of building my coaching business and wondering why….It was taking me long than my peers to get clients and create incomeI found myself battling perfection, analysis paralysis, feelings of overwhelm, procrastination and ‘ADHD brain’ on a daily basisI was deathly afraid of making mistakes, criticism, failure, not knowing enoughI had a serious case of inferiority syndrome and it became a daily practice to compare myself to EVERYONE else on the internet (talk about a downer!)I didn’t feel confident…It wasn’t okay with doing a lot of the marketing that other people were having success with…much of it felt salesy, pusy and inauthentic As introverts and sensitive souls we make amazing coaches. We naturally have strong abilities in:*Listening*Emotional intelligence and empathy*Being creative*Acting with integrity*Connecting to our intuition*Noticing details and nuances that others missUnfortunately, many introverts and HSP’s get derailed in the business building process because they are trying to do things in a way that just doesn’t work for them.This is a huge shame because you miss out on using your wisdom and talents to create a purposeful business, and the world misses out because we need more people doing this work.So, how do you build a business in a way that works for those of us who are introverts and/or highly sensitive?In this podcast, I explain the top 8 things you want to keep in mind as an introvert and/or HSP when you’re building your coaching business.If you're interested in working together to build your coaching business, you can apply to work with me here: kristinhartjes.com/applyCONNECT WITH ME:Website: https://www.kristinhartjes.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

Ever caught yourself in the loop of wanting to build your coaching business but hesitating to get clients? The fear of not being able to help them lurks in the background, creating an exhausting cycle.It's a subtle dance between consciously desiring clients and subconsciously fearing the challenges that may arise. The result? Stagnation—spinning your wheels but going nowhere fast.You yearn for clients, yet there's a hidden hope you don't get them to avoid sounding inexperienced or risking client dissatisfaction. This pattern often leads to a form of stealthy hiding. You convince yourself you're taking action, yet it doesn't propel you forward in building your community.You might find yourself stuck in perpetual website redesigns, endless niche reconsiderations, continuous courses, and extensive content creation—all under the guise of progress.Starting out in coaching can feel like navigating uncharted territory, leading to self-doubt. However, the key lies in truly wanting clients because you believe in your ability to help them. In this week's video, I unveil the top 5 keys to becoming a confident and impactful coach, breaking free from the fear that holds you back.

Months ago I made a video sharing the health ramifications of working a job that was slowly draining the life out of me.Many of you resonated, wondering: when's the perfect time to say goodbye to your job when diving into a health coaching business?People often find themselves in two camps:Eager to quit ASAP, thrilled by the prospect.Terrified of quitting, paralyzed by fear.For those in between, it's a delicate dance.This topic triggers many because we must dive into conversations about money and current financial situations. Everyone’s favorite, right? ;)But ignoring these aspects makes it impossible to make a wise decision.This week, I unravel the complexities and dive into the nitty-gritty details you must grasp to determine YOUR perfect timing.I explain on the details in this week's video.Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsCome connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/If you're interested in working together, you can find more details and sign up for a consultation with me here: https://kristinhartjes.com/apply

Do you wish that social media would disappear from the face of the earth and you’d never have to think about it again?Okay okay, I’m being dramatic…but I’m also being truthful.This past year, I felt totally burnt out from playing the social media game. And truly, this is coming from someone who only used social media for her health coaching business, and didn’t use it that much.But the impact it was having on my quality of life felt significant. As someone who’s an introvert and an HSP, I find that spending time on social media (both as a creator and consumer) is very draining and overwhelming for me energetically. And yet, I felt incredibly torn because so many of my amazing clients found me through social media. I cherish these connections from around that globe that would not have been possible without these applications.Thus, the conundrum.To use social media, or not, that is the question.I significantly decreased my use of social media this past year…only posting on Instagram 7 times. I still created over 20 YouTube videos (although YouTube feels much different for me than FB and IG) and started dabbling with creating a podcast. I pretty much stopped using Facebook, including my Facebook group. If you are in my group or waiting to join, please come and join me on IG, YouTube or here in my newsletter instead. I made much more of an effort to connect with people ‘in real life’, yes, in person!My coaching business continued to grow, but at a slower pace. I had to step back and reconnect with my mission, my story, my passion and my way of showing up and sharing with the world.​​Instead of blindly following the crowd or replicating what I’ve been taught from others, I wanted to find what felt aligned for me when it comes to marketing.So where do I go from here? I’m re-finding my way. Rediscovering how I can use social media (because it is an amazing tool), but use it super intentionally in a way that feels good.And that is exactly what I’m talking about in today’s video.I’m going to walk you through the 6 things you must think about when it comes to determining IF and HOW you will use social media to market your coaching business.And yes, it is 100% possible to grow a business without using social media if that is the path you choose.Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your coaching business, you can apply to work with me here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyCome connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

How quickly can you make money as a health coach?How much money can you make?I’m guessing these are questions that are rolling around in your head.One of the things I’m most frustrated with in the health coaching industry is the disservice it does to new coaches around money expectations.I’ve been a coach for a decade and have helped hundreds of health coaches build their own businesses so I know from experience what is true and what is a bunch of b.s.That is why I’m peeling back the veil and sharing the truth about making money as a health coach in this week’s podcast.If you're interested in working together to build your business, you can find out more and apply here: https://kristinhartjes.com/applyWatch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsCome connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinhartjes/

If someone has the option to work with a health coach and a functional medicine practitioner, why would someone choose a health coach?I had a client ask me this the other day, so I’m guessing it’s something you may be questioning, as well.If you don’t know my personal background, I practiced as a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner before I decided to make the switch to health coaching. And yes, now I’m a business mentor to other health coaches, but that is a story for another day ;)That being said, I have personal experience working as both a functional medicine practitioner and a health coach.And that experience has shown me the differences and the advances and disadvantages to both.I know one of the biggest obstacles most new health coaches face is the question of, ‘why would anyone ever choose to work with lil ‘ol me?’And I’m going to share why in today’s episode.

When it comes to getting coaching clients, what sets you apart? What's the game-changer that turns a potential client from merely curious to genuinely intrigued about working with you? And, more importantly, how do you keep them from scrolling right past to find someone else who feels like the perfect match?Your story.What do I mean by your story?I mean how you got to where you are now in relation to the specific service you offer through your coaching business.Note: this is different from your life story ;)Stories are memorable.They build connection.And understanding.And this is all true for YOUR story as it relates to your health coaching business.In this week’s video, I share the top 3 ways you can weave your story into your business.

Hey there, and happy new year!If you're like me, those grand New Year's resolutions can feel a bit overwhelming, right?The pressure, the urgency... not my style.I prefer setting intentions—no pressure, no deadlines.So, I've been reflecting on the past year, exploring what worked well and what I'd like to tweak moving forward.I've crafted a podcast sharing my personal journey through 2023—a year that felt like hitting a brick wall of stagnation and uncertainty.It was a year of deep contemplation and exploration. I can finally say I've shaken off that feeling of being stuck, though it took a good chunk of the year.As someone who values productivity and achieving goals (because this is what we’ve been told makes us valuable and successful, right?!), feeling stuck was quite the challenge, let me tell you.2023 marked my 40th birthday and a decade in the coaching industry. These milestones urged me to pause, reflect, and get very intentional about the direction I wanted to steer my life and business as I embark on the 2nd half(ish) of my life.In the podcast, I touch on various topics:Navigating as a highly sensitive introvert in business and lifeGetting engaged and growing through relationshipsThe essential lessons missing from many coaching coursesExploring the realm of psychedelicsMy frustrations within the coaching industryA rethink on social mediaTackling the issue of isolation for many coachesAfterward, I'd love to hear if any of my experiences resonate with you.

There have been two pivotal moments in my life when I encountered rapid and compelling health symptoms, all due to neglecting my intuition.One instance pertained to a job, while the other related to a relationship.Both scenarios were entirely incongruent with what I want for my life experience.Before long, my body clearly signaled the need to exit these situations…and thankfully I listened.At times, we find ourselves in situations that gradually erode our health, where the connection isn't immediately apparent. These can be a bit harder to ‘diagnose’ but recognizing them and addressing them can be life changing.As health coaches, our specialized training and experience equip us to take a comprehensive view of an individual's health and life. We assist in evaluating whether specific aspects of their life are adversely affecting their overall well-being, happiness, and sense of fulfillment.In this week’s video, I discuss the steps you can guide your health coaching clients (or yourself) through to identify areas in your life that may be detrimentally impacting your health.Subsequently, we explore strategies to effect the necessary changes for a more positive and healthier lifestyle.Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to attract consistent clients in your coaching business (in a way that feels authentic and aligned): https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you want personalized support with building your coaching business and boosting your skills and confidence as a coach, you can find the details about how we can work together and book a call to speak with me HERE.

Building a thriving health coaching business offers a lot of incredible advantages.These compelling prospects are often marketed to you, particularly by various health coaching programs and health coaching certifications. You might envision yourself by the beach, sipping Pina Coladas while guiding your clients towards success.However, the moment you transition from dreams to reality, the truth sinks in.Your business won't miraculously build itself. To find paying clients, you'll need to step into the spotlight and discuss your services frequently. This can feel uncomfortable and daunting.You begin to doubt yourself, questioning what's wrong. That nagging voice in your head suggests that success might be unattainable, tempting you to give up.You start battling with your own desires, torn between the longing for a successful business and the disappointment and frustration you're experiencing.The truth is, this inner struggle is entirely normal.

This year I turned the big 40.No big deal.Or so I thought.But after the birthday celebrations ended I felt off.Really off.Like something was wrong.Or missing.But what?I created all those things my younger adult self wanted…the career, the house, the relationship, the money, the travel.Enter midlife crisis. Or as I like to call it midlife re-evaluation.Many people go through some variation of a 'midlife crisis' usually between the ages of 35-65. The timing is different for each of us and it may be associated with a major life event such as having children, children leaving the nest, a change in relationship, a change in career, a move, the death of a loved one, etc.For me, this restlessness started in the past two years, but hit really hard this year.It felt like I was being forced to re-evaluate my life and take note of how I was showing up and what was working and what wasn’t working so well…yes, this means in my relationships, health and career/purpose/fulfillment.It felt like a call to take full responsibility for the results (or lack of results) I create in all areas of my life and to be VERY intentional about what I focus on and how I spend my time and energy in the second half of my life...and a huge nudge to leave behind any 'self-sabotaging' behavior that was stopping me from being my best self and creating my best life.In this week’s podcast, I share more about my experiences navigating my ‘midlife crisis’ and the realizations I’ve had. I also share how we can use this experience to help us build a purposeful and fulfilling business that leaves the world a better place…and do it in a way that feels aligned...this is so important!Watch my free training that shows you the 6 steps to consistent coaching clients as an introvert: https://kristinhartjes.com/consistentclientsIf you're interested in working together to build your business...and become your very best self and build your most magical life :), you can find out more about working with me here: https://kristinhartjes.com/apply/
