Yes! You Can Make Money as a Life CoachTo become a successful life coach, Heidi Benjaminsen got serious about her certification and her business—the latter being the most important. Learn how she plans to make a six-figure salary in less than three years.What is a Life Coach?Though I am a fan of the life coach process--having benefitted from consulting a life coach myself--I wanted to learn more about life coaching as a career. Specifically, I wanted to know if anybody besides Jody and Brooke are making money in this business. And, if so, how new life coaches find their place in an industry that is becoming heavily populated.To this end, my friend and recently certified life coach, Cassie Anderson, introduced me to her mentor, Heidi Benjaminsen.Heidi has been a life coach for a little over two years and she is most definitely making money. In this interview, she shares her journey to becoming a life coach as well as the steps she's taking to become successful in her business too.About Heidi Benjaminsen, Life CoachHeidi Benjaminsen is a certified life coach who helps women lose weight and gain confidence. As a mother of three teenagers and having lost over 70 pounds herself more than a decade ago, she now helps women uncover the confidence that has always been within them. She hosts a weekly podcast called Hi, This is Heidi, and has a free Facebook group called Lose Weight and Gain Confidence.You can also learn more on her website at: HeidiBenjaminsen.com.Making Money as a Life CoachBefore talking to Heidi, I had been waffling on something.Though I have helped hundreds of people find dream jobs, start businesses, prep for interviews, and more, I only decided to call myself a "career coach" because I needed a title for my Instagram business account. In doing so, I felt a little like an imposter. This is new feeling for me. I generally own what I do and feel confident in my career moves, but creating this business has been a leap of faith like no other.To level up my business and to feel better about my qualifications, I started toying with the idea of getting certified as a career coach. But I lost my enthusiasm when I saw the price of the program.Then my interview with Heidi happened.In the interview, I asked Heidi how she made the jump from helping friends for free to charging clients handsomely for her services. She responded: "Women that are willing to invest the money in themselves, the transformation that they make is just amazing. It's just beautiful because it's coming from a place where they realize, I am worth improving and I am worth investing in. It's been wonderful to see that."Heidi's answer hit me square.I haven't made an investment in myself since college.But after hearing Heidi's empowering words, I moved to action. I signed up for the career coach certification course I really wanted to take. And though I am still a little anxious about the cost Heidi's words remind me that making an investment in myself will help me to require the same of others.What You'll Learn in this EpisodeHow Heidi lost 70 pounds by shifting her mindsetWhy she decided to become a life coachHow Heidi makes money as a life coachWhy she believes it's important to invest in yourselfA leap of faith she had to take in her careerA blessing she could not see for herself in taking this journeyMost Importantly: How she has seen the Lord’s hand in my career

“Part of the experience of Muir Woods [National Monument] is that you are in a primeval forest-- that you’re really in a place where time takes a different pace.” Did you know that not many bugs enjoy eating the wood of a coastal redwood? What is the impact of climate change on our ancient, glorious coastal redwood trees? I had the chance to learn so much about the giant coastal redwood trees of Muir Woods National Monument with ranger Cassie Anderson. Cassie Anderson is currently serving as a supervisory park ranger at Muir Woods National Monument, and has devoted much of her life to our national parks. Cassie helps reiterate why these redwood trees are so phenomenal-- what makes them so resilient and beautiful, and how their many stewards throughout the centuries, from the natives of Mexico to William and Elizabeth Kent and Teddy Roosevelt, helped to protect them. Cassie also helps us to understand improvements made to Muir Woods to help its million visitors per year enjoy the park without destroying the fragile ecosystem. It is interesting to explore this ecosystem, from the scarcity of birds to the thriving banana slug population. Banana slugs love our redwoods! We explore different hikes to take, including those on the main trail and on others, such as the Canopy View Loop and the Hillside Trail. Also, be sure to check the website and ask at the visitor center for various ranger-led programs for the family such as a guided sunrise hike. Cassie and I discuss not only what makes these redwoods absolutely stunning to see in person,  but also the significance of protecting these marvelous trees, especially in light of the Earth’s changing climate.   Our Discussion Journey: Cassie describes the background of Muir Woods (2:29) Cassie’s journey into the National Park Service through volunteerism (4:29) An overview of Muir Woods National Monument (5:31) What constitutes an “old growth forest?” (7:21) Where can I find old growth coastal redwoods?
