What does it really take to go from coach to founder?

In this episode, we talk with Megan Hale, MA, founder and CEO of DreamMoney.co, about what it means to evolve from running a coaching practice to building a tech startup. After a decade in the coaching world, Megan made the leap into software development—raising $150K in grants and funding her first platform as a non-technical founder.

We unpack the mindset shift that happens when you stop thinking like a solopreneur and start thinking like a founder: how to lead a vision that’s bigger than yourself, fundraise without burnout, and hold your nervous system steady through the unknown.

If you’ve ever felt the call to build something larger than your current business—or wondered how to make that leap—this episode offers an inside look at what it takes to grow from coach to founder with courage, clarity, and strategy.

Still undercharging? Avoiding money conversations? Feeling stuck when clients bring up pricing, investing, or fear of earning?

In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we tackle one of the biggest mindset challenges in coaching: money—and how to shift both your own money beliefs and support your clients in doing the same.

Whether you’ve been underpricing your offers, struggling to state your rates with confidence, or tiptoeing around client resistance to financial growth—this episode offers grounded, honest guidance.

Building a coaching business isn’t a straight line—it’s a living, breathing experiment. In this conversation with CLCC graduates Kim Romain and Louise Neil, we talk about pivoting your coaching business with courage, collaboration, and self-trust.

Kim and Louise share how they went from co-hosting their first group podcast to creating Empowered and Embodied, a show born from brave conversations about what wasn’t working anymore. Together, we unpack how to know when it’s time to shift direction, why joy is a legitimate metric for success, and what it takes to release sunk-cost bias and start again.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing it wrong” because you want to pivot your coaching business in a new direction, this is your invitation to see your coaching business as an evolution. This episode will help you see change as part of mastery—not a mistake.
