As a coach, you might find moments in your journey that feel lonely or overwhelming, especially if you’re running your own business — totally normal. There are numerous paths in this field, and without a supportive community of fellow professionals, navigating can be tough.
But thanks to the internet, it’s easier than ever to get firsthand advice from successful coaches. Podcasts are a convenient way to learn and benefit from others’ experiences, fitting seamlessly into your daily routine — listen on your commute, while shopping, or even during workouts.
