Ever feel like you're constantly hustling in your health coaching business but still burning out? In this episode, I break down my game-changing approach to running a coaching business through intentional seasons. I share exactly how I structure my 90-day focused sprints—from creating new programs during "build" seasons to going all-in on visibility during "growth" phases, and how I deliberately step back during "maintenance" times without sacrificing income. This isn't about perfect balance (which honestly doesn't exist); it's about giving yourself permission to focus intensely on what matters most right now. If you're tired of feeling resentful toward the business you started because you love helping people, this seasonal approach will transform how you work and live as a health coach.Follow @fitchicksacademy to stay in the loop and so you never miss an episode!
