  • #159 If Your Business Can’t Survive a Missed Post, We Need to Talk
    Feb 17 2026

    For the first time in three years, I missed a podcast episode — and I didn’t panic.

    In this episode, I’m sharing what happened and the bigger lesson for online fitness coaches who feel pressure to post on social media 24/7.

    If your online coaching business only works when you never miss a post, it’s fragile. We’ll talk about building a sustainable fitness business rooted in conversations and relationships — not constant content.

    You didn’t leave the gym grind to recreate it online.

  • #158 The Dirty Little Secret in Fitness — Self-Doubt & Showing Up Online with Katie Pulsifer
    Feb 9 2026

    The Dirty Little Secret in Fitness: Self-Doubt & Showing Up Online

    Many fitness professionals look confident on the outside — but behind the scenes, self-doubt quietly holds them back from showing up online.

    In this episode, I sit down with Katie Pulsifer, a life coach who helps high-achieving individuals build self-trust and clarity, to talk about the real reason so many fitness pros struggle online — and it’s not lack of skill, strategy, or consistency.

    We dive into how self-doubt shows up for experienced coaches, why confidence doesn’t come from followers or engagement, and how comparison keeps fitness professionals stuck. Katie shares practical mindset shifts and simple practices to help you quiet your inner critic, rebuild self-trust, and show up online in a way that actually feels aligned.

    If you’re a fitness pro or health coach who feels confident in person but hesitant online, this conversation will help you move forward with clarity — without needing to be louder, more polished, or everywhere at once.

    Katie Pulsifer is a Master Certified Life Coach, creator of the Golden Coaching Certification™, and a trusted guide for women who’ve outgrown the lives they spent years building.

    With over 13 years of experience—and five years as an executive leader at The Life Coach School—Katie has trained thousands of coaches and supported countless clients with her heart-led approach rooted in excellence, integrity, and meaningful results.

    Known for her blend of warmth, precision, and deep compassion, Katie helps high-achieving women move from overstretched and unfulfilled to grounded, clear, and purpose-filled. Whether they’re launching something new, stepping back to recalibrate, or redefining success on their own terms, Katie is a mentor to women ready to create lives they genuinely love.

  • #157 February Is the New January (And Why This Is When People Need You Most)
    Feb 2 2026

    January is full of hype — but February is when real life sets in.

    In this episode, I share why February is actually the most important month for fitness professionals and health coaches. After the holiday chaos and “new year, new me” pressure wears off, this is when people realize they need support — not another free plan.

    I also share part of my own journey in the fitness industry, how burnout taught me the power of support, and why February is when real clients, real conversations, and real momentum begin.

    If you’re a fitness coach or health professional who feels behind or unsure how to gain traction this year, this episode will help you reframe February as your moment to lead, connect, and grow.
