How Coaches Can Avoid Burnout and Build a Sustainable Online Business

Featuring Dr. Jodie Solberg on the Business Bravery Podcast

If you’re a coach working to sign your first paying clients or grow your coaching business consistently, you’re not alone. Many coaches—especially women in business—feel the pressure to do it all. But pushing through stress without proper self-care often leads to burnout, exhaustion, and even a loss of purpose.

On this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Jodie Solberg, a seasoned expert in mental and behavioral health with over 25 years of experience. Jodie is a Certified Master Hypnotherapist, Transpersonal Wellness Coach, Doctor of Counseling, and passionate advocate for helping women lead brave, balanced lives in their online business.

Let’s dive into the key takeaways from our conversation and explore how to grow your business without sacrificing your health or happiness.

Burnout Is Not a Badge of Honour in Coaching

Many new and experienced coaches unknowingly fall into the hustle trap—working late, saying yes to everything, and ignoring the warning signs of burnout. But burnout doesn’t lead to long-term success. It leads to confusion, fatigue, and even resentment of the business you once loved.

Jodie and I both know this pattern all too well. In our chat, she opens up about her personal journey through burnout and how she learned to listen to her body’s signals and shift into a more balanced, anti-hustle way of working.

What Anti-Hustle Success Looks Like in an Online Business

The anti-hustle approach is all about working smarter, honoring your energy, and creating systems that support sustainability. Jodie shares how she now builds her coaching business around practices that prioritize self-care, purpose, and rest.

In fact, one of her biggest lessons? Self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s a business strategy. Without it, your energy drains—and so does your ability to serve clients powerfully.

If you're trying to grow your business and sign more clients, pausing to take care of yourself might be the very thing that moves you forward.

Brave Moves and Business Evolution

One of the most inspiring parts of our conversation was hearing about Jodie’s brave shifts in her business. She's recently begun diving into pre and perinatal psychology—exploring how our earliest experiences shape us—and is revamping her emotional empowerment course for women.

These changes aren’t just business strategies; they’re legacy work. They reflect a coach who is deeply committed to healing, growth, and helping others break generational cycles through empowerment and mindset.

Why Networking for Online Business Matters

Whether you're a brand-new coach or more established, networking for online business is one of the most powerful ways to stay inspired, learn, and grow. Jodie and I talked about the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people—mentors, peers, and clients—who align with your values and vision.

If you’re feeling stuck or burned out, it might be time to find a business coach or join a community that supports your brave next steps.

Final Thoughts: Grow Your Coaching Business with Purpose and Self-Care

If you’re tired of hustle culture and ready to build an online business with more balance, this episode is for you. Jodie’s story reminds us that burnout is not the price we must pay for success. In fact, when we lead with bravery, listen to our bodies, and choose self-care over hustle, we build something far more powerful: a business that actually supports the life we want.

So coach, what’s your next brave thing?
