    #152 The December Slow-Down: How I Pause, Plan, and Prep for the Year Ahead
    Dec 15 2025

    In this mid-December episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own “December Slow-Down” — the intentional pause I take every year to reflect, reset, and plan for what’s ahead. I’ll walk you through the simple routines and questions that help me close out the year with clarity (not pressure), and the exact steps I take now so January doesn’t feel chaotic. If you’re an online health or fitness coach preparing for a bigger, more aligned year, this episode will help you slow down, get grounded, and step into the new year with confidence and direction.

    #151 Behind the Scenes: My Business Failures, Hard Lessons, and the Future of Online Fitness Coaching in 2026
    Dec 8 2025

    In this raw and honest episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the last three years of my business — the failures, the lessons, and the truth most coaches never talk about.

    From systems that broke… To offers that didn’t land… To trusting the wrong strategies… To rebuilding everything from the ground up…

    I’m sharing what actually happened, what I learned the hard way, and how these experiences shaped the direction of my business today.

    You’ll hear: ✨ The hidden mistakes most online health & fitness coaches make ✨ The mindset traps that held me back ✨ What finally clicked and helped me rebuild ✨ The trends and shifts I see coming for online fitness coaches in 2026 ✨ What you must focus on if you want to thrive instead of burn out

    If you’ve been struggling, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like everyone else is “ahead,” this episode will show you that you’re not alone — and that your failures might be the very thing that sets you up for your best year yet.
