EP. 374 - Can You Make Money As A Coach?
Episode 374
Tuesday, 24 March, 2026
In today’s episode, Erica and I sat down to have a really honest conversation about a question we hear all the time:Can you actually make money as a coach?We didn’t hold back in this one. We talked about the real journey—from feeling called to help people, to realizing that coaching isn’t just a skill… it’s also a business.I shared from my own experience of building multiple businesses over the years and how coaching eventually became the expression of both my calling and my entrepreneurial wiring. Erica brought such a grounded perspective as well, especially around what sustainability can look like in different seasons of life.We explored the difference between simply having coaching skills and actually building something that generates income. Because the truth is—those are two very different things.We also talked about:Why most coaches need more than one income streamHow your season of life impacts your business modelWhat “full-time” really means todayThe importance of investing in yourself as a coachAnd why you don’t have to have it all figured out to startOne thing I want you to hear clearly: Yes, you can make money as a coach.But it’s not a one-size-fits-all path, and it does require intention, learning, and growth over time.If you’re in a place of wondering whether this could be something more for you, I hope this conversation gives you both clarity and courage to take your next step.FREE RESOURCES:Listen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?
