In this episode, I sit down with Kim Holland, a career coach for parents, who transitioned from employed coach to business owner in under six months. We explore how she signed her first clients within a month of launching, while raising two young children and working part-time. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to build a coaching business around family life, this one will give you a big dose of clarity and encouragement.
