Today I bring you five specific things to focus on if you're wanting to build an online business in the world of health and fitness (and bring in a profit!) I created a workshop in 2020 - 3 steps to build a PROFITABLE online heath and fitness business.  And named it this for more than one reason…  Businesses need to not only generate revenue but be PROFITABLE. Many people think “oh I am just going to start an online business” because perhaps it looks “easier” than...

No matter the weight training program you follow when starting out, you will likely experience a honeymoon phase.  You’ll feel like you are adapting quick, making gains and getting stronger. This is what we call the newbie phase. And I hope you enjoy it. Because its a precious time in training. That phase ends at some point however. The weights stop increasing with ease. The same shit feels just as hard as it did last month, or three months ago and you’re like, what is...

This episode is for my people. The people who go against the “be a master of one” narrative. You can’t have more than one offer. You can’t have more than one ideal client or area of focus. While I understand that perspective and the truth in it (I mean I have an Ideal Client Avatar download and a Know Your Niche content guide), I also think it’s misunderstood in the online health and fitness industry. YOU NEED CLARITY. Clarity breeds confidence. Confidence in your...

If you want growth on Instagram, you need to focus on engagement. Shareability, and engagement, which means your content needs to be engaging. Today’s two tips, or how to make all content more engaging for your audience, from stories, to reels, to static posts and more. These are simple, and they are going to require consistency and time in order for them to work. But you will be able to implement them immediately. And that’s the goal. There’s action that you can take even while...

Proficiency is truly the name of the game when it comes to movement patterns, strength and muscle building. When people talk about muscle memory or mind muscle connection, what are they really referring to? WHAT In short, I’d say, the proficiency, strength, and consistency of your neural pathways from brain to muscle when contracting. WHY This is where touching, visualizing or thinking about a given muscle contracting can actually cause a stronger...

2023 was not my norm...It was my first year as a mom-preneur. And though I don't love that title. It's a thing. It's very real. And it took some trial and error. So, let's dive in. * No revenue goal but a need to maintain * Biz + baby trial year (unexpectedly grow another one ) 2023 was a year of essentialism and gaining clarity of biz and life NOW Lots of tension and fog into gaining said clarity. Lots of 12 minute back and forth voice memos with colleagues...

Flexibility is the capacity for mobility. And mobility CAN certainly make for superior strength and hypertrophy.  I mentioned in another podcast recently that more and more I view mobility as youth. Range of motion can be looked at in passive and active lenses. Passive = flexibility. Think sitting in the splits or doing a pec stretch in the doorway. These are passive and/or assisted. Active range of motion = mobility. How well can your muscles move your...

Coaching philosophy is so much more than the methods you adopt and whether or not you think cardio should go before or after a lift, whether you think macros are necessary or not. A massive part of your coaching philosophy is shaped by core values. Rather than saying “crafting,” it’s more like identifying or carving out. It likely already exists but you have yet to claim it, identify it. Why brand values matter * they’re the foundation and backbone of...

I’ve done my fair share of yearly, half yearly and quarterly reflections. Big fan. Today I am sharing some of my all time favorite reflection questions.  These are questions that I believe best set you up for a more successful and aligned year ahead of you. That’s the goal. I am NOT a fan of planning next year in the absence of reflecting on the current one - whether you had goals and plans this year or not. Reflection questions: We start off positive, and then get...

It’s no secret I am team lift for life. That is largely where my phrase “long haul mentality” came from. Because I am a sucker for the grind - the day to day that no one wants to do, but everyone needs. The process by which they get the REAL results that they want. It applies to weight lifting, career, building a business, any pursuit of something more than the mundane. Today we dive into physical, mental and spiritual reasons for women to lift weights. Most of these apply to...

There can certainly be a lot of carryover between how to grow your brand audience on IG and how to increase your income. Often just being front of mind for people is the lowest barrier to increasing applications or enrollments. We’ll separate the two for clarity but know that there is mainly positive carryover from audience growth tactics *possibly* to income. Brand GROWTH (audience) None of these are new - I simply want to do a refresh for you in order to bring your...

Today’s episode can be applied to any platform where you provide content to an audience. That means podcasting, email, YouTube, instagram or elsewhere. I’ve been talking a lot lately about building trust with your audience because trust is the #1 thing we need as businesses in order for people to PAY YOU. And most online health and fitness coaches I talk to want to get paid. If you happen to be building a personal brand, then I believe you have an extra opportunity to expedite...

I asked my IG audience and my email list to send me topics they'd like me to either rate as over, or underrated, mainly in the field of fitness. And let me tell you, this was a FUN ONE. This episode was unplanned. I literally answered these spitfire, off the cuff. First thoughts that came to mind is what you get here. So, tune in for details on the following topics. Here are my ratings: Squats: Overrated by those who want to grow their glutes, underrated in terms of...

You know the kind of testimony you read - either as a consumer or as the recipient - that just makes you go YES! That’s exactly what I wanted to hear! (the power of social proof!) This can be the norm for your business if you help your clients out. YES, the way in which you ask for testimonies absolutely shapes the type of testimony you receive. We want testimonies that do a few things: * Meet the prospect where they are via the completed client taking them back to the...

To be clear, I am not a Physical Therapist. I am simply a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, I have a degree in Exercises Science. This is for educational purposes only. You need to consult with a physician, chiropractor, physical therapist, or some other medical professional to make decisions and your training on pain. Today’s episode will hopefully bring to light some things you can focus on within your training that may help prevent injury specific to what we can...

Most professionals that I work with in the online space for the face of their brand. They are a personal brand. Meaning that they have to cultivate a brand based around themselves, their ideal, client, and the problems that they solve or their area of focus.  Your brand started before it was a brand. Especially in that it is a personal brand, parts of your life are going to be integrated into it.  I touched on this with your brand story and Becoming an Authority in Your Niche in...

Cats out the bag! If you missed it, go watch my NOVEL of a video on Youtube announcing bebe 2. I walk you through the how, timeline, reaction, feels, navigating postpartum while being prenatal again, compare pregnancy one with round two and so much more! I don’t believe I ever made a definitive podcast episode in my first pregnancy about how I planned maternity leave. So, I wanted to be sure and do that this time because it’s very much so the same. Being self employed means no...
