FIT CHICKS Chat

I used to think I was broken. 17 years of binge eating, 50 pounds overweight, anxiety through the roof - despite being named a Top Fitness Professional. Then I discovered the difference between someone who loses weight and gains it back, and someone who transforms their body and keeps it off for 14+ years. It's not willpower. It's not genetics. It's not even the 'right' diet. It's something much deeper - and much more powerful. In this episode, I reveal the 3 identity shifts that not only ended my weight struggle forever but turned my mess into a message that's helped over 1,000 women become certified health coaches. Spoiler Alert: this has nothing to do with meal plans and everything to do with who you believe you are.Want to support your clients to their weight loss goals with holistic nutrition, movement, lifestyle, mindset and more?

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!
