    Today we are joined by Bailey Jorgensen. Bailey is in the midst of growing his coaching business called: Lean In Coaching. As the name implies, the idea here is understanding where each individual client is from a health and fitness standpoint so that they can lean into more positive habits and routines. Step by step, Bailey takes a tailored approach so that his clients truly identify with the progression of becoming more fit and healthy to achieve lasting results. With a background in exercise science, fitness coaching and ongoing health certifications, Bailey stays away from misinformed buzz words and short-term promises so that his clients walk away self-sustained. He's also a nurse and a part of the army reserves because he genuinely enjoys helping people. Throughout this episode you will learn more about Bailey's coaching methodology, but also the dynamic path of what it has taken for Bailey to get here. I enjoyed relating with him on the idea of holding true to oneself and being accountably forgiving to be ok with pursuing multiple different interests. This guides you to a path that aligns with you, but you must keep putting yourself out there with action. We also talk about how incredibly tough it is to consistently put yourself out there online at the beginning stages of growing a online brand, let alone a business. --- Follow Bailey below: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/leanin_coaching YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LeanInCoaching TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@leanin_coaching --- Get connected.
