Getting Coaches Paid with Laura Hulleman

Getting Coaches Paid with Laura Hulleman formerly the Raving Coaches Podcast If you've ever wondered why starting a coaching business and getting coaching clients feels natural feels like an uphill battle? I don't think it's because you're bad at business. I think it's because nobody ever taught you how to build one. Most coaches have been coaching unofficially for years—in their churches, workplaces, communities, and families—long before they ever earned a coaching certification. Coaching isn't the new skill. The skill they have yet to learn are business skills for coaches. 
In this episode, I share two stories from my years as a fitness coach that completely changed the way I think about business. One is about a business coach who walked into my gym and bluntly told me, "Your gym is weird." The other is about a client who couldn't hop because she simply hadn't done it in decades. Both stories reveal the same truth: we can't see our own blind spots, and we shouldn't expect ourselves to instinctively know skills we've never been taught. That's exactly what happens to so many coaches trying to build a business.
If you're ready to stop guessing and build a coaching business that's designed around your strengths instead of someone else's formula, schedule a conversation with me about my Personal Masterclass in Your Coaching Business beginning July 15.
All that starts with a conversation. Let’s talk!  www.endotype.com/calendar-30 

Getting Coach Paid with Laura Hulleman formerly Raving Coaches podcast You don’t have a strategy problem. You have a trust problem.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason coaches aren’t getting clients—even when they’re doing “all the right things.” We’ve been taught to believe people buy based on logic, information, and credentials. That’s not what’s happening. People buy because they trust you. And in this episode, I walk you through exactly where that trust is being built… and where you might be quietly losing it.
We talk about how over-explaining your expertise actually weakens trust, why information-heavy marketing falls flat, and what it really means to be “visible” in a way that makes people want to work with you. I also share examples from networking conversations, websites, and branding decisions that either create connection or shut it down completely.

Getting Coach Paid with Laura Hulleman formerly Raving Coaches podcast You’ve taken the courses. You’ve hired the coaches. You’ve learned the strategies.So why are you still second-guessing every decision in your coaching business?
In this episode, I’m digging into something that quietly sabotages even the smartest, most capable coaches: trust. Not the fluffy version of trust—but the real, lived experience of trusting your own decisions when it comes to your marketing, your pricing, and your next steps. I share how “being smart” can actually become a protection mechanism, why so many coaches default to external opinions, and how to start recognizing the difference between true intuition and avoidance.
We also talk about how to actually practice trust in your business—because most of us were never taught how to listen to ourselves in the first place. Whether you’re constantly tweaking your messaging, changing direction, or feeling stuck between “rest” and “push,” this episode will help you begin to find your own guidance.

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at your computer thinking, “Why can’t I just get my crap together?” — this episode is for you.
Shannyn Schroeder is an executive function coach who helps neurodivergent women, especially those with ADHD, build systems that actually work for their brains. We talked about why so many women are getting diagnosed later in life, what executive functioning really looks like in real life (not textbook language), and why traditional business advice often creates more chaos instead of less.
What I appreciate about Shannyn’s work is how practical it is. She’s not trying to “fix” you and she is not giving you another dumb check list to follow. She’s helping you understand how your brain works so you can build a business that runs even on the days when your energy, focus, or motivation are all over the place.
Guest Bio:Shannyn Schroeder is an executive function coach who helps neurodivergent women build sustainable systems for their lives and businesses. With over 10 years of experience—and as a mom to three neurodivergent kids—she brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work.

Getting Coach Paid with Laura Hulleman formerly Raving Coaches podcast You can have a beautiful website… and still not get clients.
In this episode, I answer a simple but powerful question: what’s the one thing your website needs to make people book instead of bounce? After working with hundreds of coaches and hosting over 150 podcast interviews, I’ve seen the same issue over and over again, coaches aren’t clearly explaining the problem they solve in language their clients actually understand.
We dig into why “confidence coach” and “trauma coach” aren’t enough, how coach-to-coach language is hurting your business, and what it actually sounds like to communicate in a way that makes someone say, “Yes, that’s exactly what I need.”

We talk about why the standard way of building a business doesn’t work for most coaches, how burnout shows up differently depending on how you’re wired, and what it actually looks like to build something that fits you.

Getting Coaches Paid with Laura Hulleman formerly the Raving Coaches podcast Most coaches say yes to collaborations way too quickly—and then wonder why nothing comes from them.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on collaborations: podcasts, summits, workshops, and all the “we should do something together” conversations that show up in your inbox or networking groups. Because the idea sounds great, but the execution? That’s where things fall apart. I share what I’ve learned from saying yes early in my business, what actually made a difference, and how I now evaluate every opportunity that comes my way.
We talk about marketing plans (or the lack of them), audience size, quality of leadership, and the difference between someone who’s building a business and someone who’s just dabbling. If you’ve ever walked away from a collaboration wondering what the point was, this conversation will give you clarity.
You don’t need more opportunities—you need better ones.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not quite saying it right” when you talk about your work you're going to enjoy this interview with Robin Carr.
Robin talks about being unapologetically yourself, and what I appreciated is that she didn’t make it fluffy. She made it practical. This isn’t about confidence affirmations. It’s about how you talk to yourself, what you tolerate, and whether you’re actually willing to show people who you are.
We also got into why coaches hold back in their marketing, how people-pleasing shows up in business, and why small daily choices (not big reinventions) are what actually create change.Robin Carr is a mindset coach and speaker who helps individuals break out of limiting patterns and step into a more confident, self-directed version of themselves. She is the founder of Thrive Unapologetically and creator of the Empower framework.

I recently had someone ask me what Endotype is a “natural seller”. All Endotypes can sell, but sales often feels uncomfortable for a lot of coaches. It doesn’t mean you are bad at it. You just don’t have a structure for the sales experience.
In this episode, I walk you through the exact framework I use on sales calls that makes them feel easier, more natural, and far more effective. Instead of trying to “sell” your coaching, you’ll learn how to guide your potential client through two clear decisions—one that has nothing to do with your offer at all.
We dig into how to help someone fully see why what they’ve been doing isn’t working, how to identify whether they’re actually ready for change, and why so many calls stall out before you ever get to talking about your program. If you’ve ever had a great conversation that didn’t turn into a client, this will explain why.
This is one of those episodes that will immediately change how you run your next sales call.

Getting Coach Paid with Laura Hulleman formerly Raving Coaches podcast When I first started coaching, I wore “empath” like a badge of honor. But the more I learned from Anna Hanael, the more I realized that being an empath without boundaries leads straight to burnout, anxiety, undercharging, and people-pleasing in business and relationships.
 
In this episode Anna shares her journey from communist Poland to becoming a hypnotherapist and energy teacher working with professional empaths who look successful on the outside but feel exhausted inside. We talk about the difference between the unconscious empath (the people-pleaser) and the evolved empath—someone who knows how to sense energy without making everything about them. We also dive into pricing, energy exchange, and why free clients often value transformation the least.
 
If you’re a coach who struggles with boundaries, over-giving, or charging what you actually need, this episode is going to challenge you in the best way.
 
About Anna HanaelAnna Hanael is a speaker, mentor, healer, and certified hypnotherapist with over 25 years of experience in energy work. She helps high-performing empaths rebuild self-worth, regulate their nervous systems, and lead with grounded presence in love and business using her signature Hanael Method.
