A Real Client. Six Sessions. One Coaching Series. (Here’s How to Listen)
Thanks for listening to the introduction episode for our coaching series with Joanna.
This project follows a real three-month coaching engagement with six coaching sessions. We recorded the coaching sessions themselves, plus Joanna’s full health history, plus debrief episodes where Danna and I reflect on the coaching session and break down what we were listening for.
Here’s the easiest way to listen, depending on what you want more of.
If you want to hear the actual coaching sessions (the real-time coaching conversations between Danna and Joanna), listen on So Frickin’ Healthy.
If you want the coaching “behind the scenes” (health history, coaching debriefs, and Joanna’s reflection), you’re in the right place on Becoming a Health Coach.
To make it simple, we will link everything in the show notes each week so you can follow along in order.

Hey there friend. Megan here.I'm really excited to share something new with you because it is one of those projects that feels both deeply practical and honestly kind of magical if you love coaching as much as I do. So Danna, my new co host and I, just produced a brand new coaching series and the goal is super simple.We want you to actually hear what health coaching looks like in real life. Not just in theory, not just in a training module, but in like the messy human day to day reality where change actually happens.Here's how it came together. Last spring we asked for a volunteer who wanted to do a real three month coaching engagement. Six coaching sessions over the course of three months.Not just a one off conversation, but the kind of relationship and continuity that makes coaching coaching. And Joanna raised her hand. So we recorded three kinds of audio because we wanted to capture the whole picture.First, we recorded the actual coaching sessions between Danna and Joanna.These are the real coaching conversations in the moment with the questions, the reflections, the oh wow, I didn't realize that moment and the small shifts that add up to big ones. Second, after each coaching session was done, Danna and I recorded a debrief as coaches.And that is us pulling back the curtain and talking about what we noticed, why we asked, what we asked, and what we were listening for, and how we were thinking about Joanna's next steps. If you're the kind of person who wants to understand the craft of coaching, these debriefs are going to be such a good listen for you.And third, we also recorded Joanna's health history because context matters. It is hard to understand someone's goals, patterns and challenges without knowing what their real life looks like.And that health history gives you that grounding. Now you might be wondering where is all this going to live? Because this is where we get really intentional.So we are going to release the coaching sessions themselves over on our other podcast, So Freakin' Healthy because that audience is really there for that lived experience. If you want to listen and think, okay, this is what it feels like to be coached, those episodes are for you.Here on Becoming a Health Coach, we're publishing Joanna's health history and the coaching debrief episodes.Because if you're an aspiring health coach or a coach that wants to sharpen your skills, I think you're going to love hearing these behind the scenes thinking you will get to hear how two coaches process a session. What were we tracking and how are the decisions made in the moment?So go to So Frickin' Healthyto listen to the actual coaching call and Becoming a Health Coach to listen to the behind the scenes coaching experience. And that's the big picture. A real three month coaching engagement, six sessions.The coaching sessions, the debriefs, the health histories released intentionally across these two shows.If you have ever wondered what health coaching actually sounds like, or you're learning how to coach and you want to start developing your ear for great questions and real challenge, I truly think that you're going to love this series. All right, let's get into it.
