Stop Hustling, Start Healing: A New Approach to Wellness; with Functional Nutritionist Anke Johnson (Manifestor)

What if your digestive issues and weight gain aren’t just about food—but about how you feel about yourself?
In this episode, I talk with Anke Johnson (Visionary Endotype), founder of Forward and Up Wellness. Anke is a functional nutritionist and intuitive coach who works with women ages 35–80 to finally get answers when doctors just say, “You’re fine.” We go deep into the connection between physical symptoms and emotional wounds—and what healing actually looks like for women who’ve spent decades ignoring their own needs.
What You'll Hear in This Episode:
What is functional nutrition? Anke shares how she looks beyond lab results to map out a client’s full health timeline—physical and emotional.
The emotional roots of weight loss resistance You’ll hear how one client’s belief that she didn’t deserve “new clothes” shaped her eating habits for life—and how Anke helped her break that pattern.
How metabolism, hormones, and gut health are connected We unpack how trauma, stress, and people-pleasing can derail your health, even when you think you’re doing everything right.
Why coaches need to create safe spaces for vulnerability I share how your marketing, your discovery calls, and your presence all influence whether a client can truly open up and heal. Especially if they’re carrying shame around their body or health.
If you're a coach or wellness practitioner working with midlife women—or if your own body is giving you confusing signals—this episode is packed with insights to help you move from confusion to clarity.

How to Write Marketing That Attracts: Step 3

Coaches are out here Frankensteining their message—borrowing phrases from networking events, sales pages, or other coaches, hoping they’ll finally land a client.
But then someone reads it and says, “I still don’t understand what you do.”
In this episode of the Raving Coaches Podcast, I break down Step 3 in my six-part series on building a coaching business that actually works: How to Write Marketing That Attracts. I share why client-centered language always outperforms credentials, and how to write a message that speaks to the stage of life your client is in right now.
If your message is vague, confusing, or focused on your methods instead of your clients’ pain? This one’s for you. I’ll also tell you exactly how I can help—whether you prefer to work independently or want my eyes on your business.

Step 2 - Identity-Aligned Branding for Coaches

 Your brand isn't your color palette. It’s not a purple frog or your favorite quote in cursive script. In Step 2 of my six-part series on building a successful coaching business, I explain why most coaching brands fail to connect—and what it takes to get yours aligned. Identity-Aligned Branding is based on who you actually are and the energy your clients already pick up from you. When your brand doesn’t match your energy, people don’t trust it. When it does? You become magnetic.Find out your brand energy with the Endotype Quiz Book a free Connection & Direction call here. More on messaging at Stop Calling Yourself a Coach.

Play as a Mindset: A New Way for Parents (and You as a Coach) to Operate with Dinalynn Rosenbush (Harmonizer)

Listen up coaches—this isn't your usual parenting podcast. Dinalynn Rosenbush, a 30‑year veteran speech‑language pathologist turned parenting coach, drops truth bombs about how kids really think. She explains why what looks like defiance is often language confusion or literal-mindedness. When parents learn to observe behavior non‑judgmentally and ask open questions like “Tell me what was in your mind…?”, magic happens: connection, understanding, and yes, actual progress.
If you’re tired of hearing “they just won’t listen,” this episode unpacks how to help parents step out of shame, lean into curiosity, and adopt “play as a mindset.” Trust us, this one will challenge how you view communication struggles—and give you next-level coaching tools.

One Reason Your Coaching Business Hasn’t Grown

 In this episode, I get into something most coaches avoid: their own resistance. And yes, I mean you. The part of you that thinks, “Ugh, I hate this. I don’t want to do … (marketing, accounting, sales, follow ups, etc).  I wish it would just go away.” That, my friend, is resistance. And it’s likely running the show in your business more than you realize.
I share a story that helped me feel the concept of resistance in my body—and why bending (instead of bracing) is the secret to taking back control. Whether you’re resisting your marketing, your pricing, or your next move, this is your call to get honest. Let’s name it and shift it together.
