Almost every health coach I've ever worked with has made the three mistakes I talk about in this new video.
Newly graduated coaches. Experienced coaches. Board certified coaches.
Me included.
And not one of them made these mistakes because they were bad coaches. They made them because nobody ever gave them a better roadmap.
Once you can see the mistakes clearly you can stop making them. And that's when everything starts to shift.
The first video in my new 5-part series called “Coach With Clarity: The Health Coach's Guide to Behavioral Change” is now live on YouTube.
And I'm not holding anything back.
I'm getting straight to the heart of why so many health coaches struggle, even the ones who have done all the right training and genuinely care about their clients.
You'll understand the gap that almost every training program leaves behind. And you'll start to see exactly what's been missing.
This is the video I wish someone had shown me when I was starting out.
It's short, focused and jam-packed. Watch it whenever you're ready today.
I spent years and over $25,000 figuring out what I'm about to share with you for free.
A clear process. A proven framework. And everything I know about what behavioral change coaching actually looks like in practice.
I put it all into a brand new five part video series called Coach With Clarity: The Health Coach's Guide to Behavioral Change.
And I'm sharing it all for free on YouTube.
Here's what's coming:
🎥 April 2 — You Don't Have a Knowledge Problem. You Have a Process Problem.
🎥 April 6 — The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything
🎥 April 8 — The Top Mistakes Health Coaches Make That Keep Them Stuck
🎥 April 10 — From Fraud to Confident Coach: Real Stories, Real Results
🎥 April 14 — The Framework That Changes Everything: The Coaching Clarity Blueprint
Five videos. Zero fluff. Everything I wish I'd known.

Even after becoming a certified health and wellness coach, I struggled.
Overwhelm. Confusion. Burnout.
I kept thinking, why didn't my training prepare me for this?
I wasted years and over $25,000 chasing more certifications until I finally figured it out.
The secret wasn't more knowledge. It was:
✅ A mindset shift about what coaching really is
✅ Learning a proven coaching framework
✅ Getting consistent practice to build real confidence
That's why I built Health Coaching Essentials. To give new health coaches exactly what I wish I'd had in my first years.
HCE will help you coach any client, on any topic, with confidence and clarity. You don't need to be medical expert and it works with any niche.

🎥 In this new video I'm sharing the honest, slightly embarrassing story of what I did in my first two years as a health coach before I understood what real coaching actually looked like.
If you've ever felt lost in a coaching session, over-prepared due to anxiety, or wondered why you're working so hard but your clients still aren't getting results, this one will resonate.

Do you ever worry that AI will replace health coaches? The answer to depends entirely on what kind of coaching you're actually doing.
In this new video, I’m sharing some cool insights I picked up while tuning in to a practice coaching session.
I’ll unpack what AI can actually do well, what it can’t do, and why the future of health coaching is all about those coaches who really get the human connection.

Hey there, I'm Michelle MacLean certified health and wellness coach and health coach skills mentor.
As a Coaching Circle Coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I've worked with close to 1000 students. Many of them are worried about how to provide value and say they lack confidence in their coaching skills.
I felt like that too when I started my practice almost 10 years go. But once I shifted into the coaching mindset, my coaching practice started to grow.
Over the last nine years I've worked with hundreds of clients online and 1:1 and I know how transformational the coaching process can be.
I want to help you let go of the confusion, frustration and worry so you can step fully into the coach role and help your clients live their most healthy and well lives.
I'm building a free facebook community with health coaches just like you where you can refresh and hone your skills and build confidence. Each week I'll be share tips, trainings and topics around coaching skills and the coaching process. I'd love for you to join us.
