And while that’s absolutely part of it, there’s so much more happening behind the scenes.In this episode, Erica and I unpack three key areas that every coach—whether you’re just starting or growing your practice—needs to understand:✨ The emotional and mental energy it takes to truly hold space for others✨ The time commitment beyond the session itself (prep, follow-up, scheduling, and more) ✨ The financial realities of building and sustaining a coaching businessWe also talk about capacity, boundaries, and how to steward your time and energy in a way that allows you to show up well—not just for your clients, but for your life.This isn’t about discouraging you—it’s about equipping you with the truth so you can build something sustainable, meaningful, and aligned with your calling.If you’ve ever wondered, “What is coaching really like day in and day out?”—this conversation is for you.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?
