Is building a coaching business supposed to be easy?
Many coaches enter the industry believing that because coaching is their calling, the business side should feel natural, effortless, even “magical.” In this episode, Kat gently but honestly challenges that belief. She unpacks two persistent myths—first, that a coaching business should be easy to build, and second, that coaches don’t need support to succeed.
Kat shares her 25+ years of experience to reveal a more grounded truth: building a coaching business is both deeply fulfilling and genuinely challenging. There are learning curves, failures, vulnerability, and time investment—but also joy, growth, and meaning. When coaches release unrealistic expectations and embrace both the “hard” and the “fun,” they create space for real, sustainable success.
