ChatGPT Health & The Future of Health Coaching

ChatGPT Health launched, and the health coaching community is buzzing. Some coaches are terrified. Others are dismissive. A few are genuinely curious. But here's what matters: when information is instant, unlimited, and free, what are people actually paying you for? In this episode, I share the story of a client who came to me wanting to lose weight. She'd been chasing that goal since she was eight years old. But what she really needed? A human who could see the whole picture. Someone brave enough to challenge her beliefs about weight loss and happiness. One question changed everything. Within months, she was climbing to the Mount Everest base camp. We talk about: Why ChatGPT Health is just a data solution (not a magical health coaching robot) The difference between resolving a symptom and fulfilling a dream Why moving toward more interaction with clients is the best path forward How to be more human in your coaching and your marketing If you've been worried about AI replacing health coaching, this episode is for you. Because in a world full of botsAI, being human might just be your biggest competitive advantage. 🎯 Ready to grow your coaching business with less time and less tech?

Your health coaching business might feel hard right now because you're trying to convince people that they need a health coach instead of filling an existing need they're already looking for help with. In this episode, I share what a trip to Drybar taught me about getting clients effortlessly. Spoiler: it has everything to do with solving problems people are already willing to pay for. We talk about: Why Drybar doesn't apologize for only doing blowouts How to become a "category of one" in your health coaching business The difference between what people want (a blowout, pre-pregnancy jeans that fit) vs. what we're selling (health coaching) Why working with clients NOW is the fastest way to figure out your niche If you're tired of convincing people they need you, this episode will show you how to position yourself so clients come to you ready and excited. 🎯 Ready to start working with clients right away?

What actually moves your health coaching business forward? It's usually not intense planning, automations, or perfectly designed systems. In this episode, I'm sharing three real stories from health coaches inside my Empowered mastermind who stopped waiting to feel "ready" and took imperfect action anyway. Each of them made money, signed clients, or uncovered unexpected opportunities by doing things before everything was set up. You'll hear how: Stephanie signed her first VIP pharmacist client before she even had a payment plan set up in Stripe Christina landed a paying client from her very first five-minute mini offer, before her pricing was finalized Heather stopped forcing big online launches and instead used 25 years of industry experience to spark interest from startup CEOs and company leaders These stories all happened recently, and they're honest, messy, and very real. If you've been stuck trying to get everything organized before you finally put yourself out there, hopefully this episode will help give you the confidence to take action! 🎯 Want help taking your own messy first steps?

This week I'm sharing a conversation with women's fitness and transformation coach Shannon Hanson, who made the switch from restaurant manager to full-time coach in exactly one year.  In this episode, Shannon walks us through what happened during that year, including the parts most coaches skip over. She shares what it was like announcing her new career before she felt fully ready, why her early "I help everyone" approach fell flat, and how choosing to focus on women over 40 suddenly made outreach much easier. We got into the promotion that brought her nine new clients, the beta program that taught her a few hard lessons, and the day she realized she really didn't need her job anymore. In this episode, we talk about: What it really looks like to build a business from scratch Why niching down works even when it feels limiting How she got her first clients and the emotional rollercoaster that came with it Why picking a quit date helped her actually follow through 🎯 Want help making health coaching your full-time thing?

Ever feel pressure to fit into a certain "nutrition camp" or act like an online guru just to be seen as legit? Erin Power has been a practicing health coach for over a decade, working mostly with women in their 40s and 50s who've spent a lifetime dieting and are exhausted by the whole thing. She's also the coaching director at Primal Health Coach Institute, where she trains coaches in both the methodology and mindset of real-world coaching. In this episode, Erin and Michelle talk about coaching from a primal/ancestral perspective without falling into dogma, and what it really takes to help women lose weight in midlife. You'll hear how Erin intentionally works in longer coaching containers, what she does when clients don't lose weight right away, and why she believes most of the work is emotional—not just nutritional. You'll learn: What "primal" really means (and how it's evolved over the years) Why women 40+ often need more time and more compassion, not harsher rules The three emotions Erin coaches through most: frustration, discouragement, disappointment How she supports a plant-based client within a mostly animal-protein-forward philosophy Why repeating your core message online builds trust and attracts the right clients 🎯 Want help turning health coaching into your main thing?
