You’re an online coach making real money. 

Your business is scaling. 

You’ve hit some of the biggest goals on your vision board. 

But deep down, something still feels… heavy. 

If that resonates, this isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong. It’s a signal—one that more high-level coaches are starting to pay attention to: 

✨ You can’t separate your energy from your finances. 

✨ You can’t build real wealth from a place of burnout, resentment, or avoidance. 

✨ And the deeper you go in business, the more you realize—alignment is the real strategy. 

In a recent episode of The Fit Financial Podcast, I sat down with Ava Johanna—embodiment teacher and creator of The Academy of Breath—to talk about the intersection of money, mindset, and energy. And let me tell you: it was the conversation so many coaches need but rarely have. 

Here’s What We Explored: 

1. Energy Always Comes First 

You know how we say "revenue ≠ profit"? Well, energy ≠ effort. You can check every box, meet every deadline, and still feel out of sync. And when your energy is off, your income eventually reflects it—whether it’s client friction, launch fatigue, or feeling emotionally flat even after your best month ever. 

2. Resentment is a Sign, Not a Flaw 

Ever caught yourself resenting a client or feeling drained by the business you once loved? That doesn't make you ungrateful. It often means you’re out of alignment with your original “why”—or carrying old patterns that no longer fit this level of growth. 

3. Your Financial Patterns Didn’t Start With You 

Many coaches experience money avoidance, overspending, or under-saving—and blame themselves. But a lot of those behaviors were modeled, not chosen. From growing up in scarcity to watching our parents struggle, these stories live in our nervous systems until we actively rewrite them. 

4. Your Goals Aren’t Just Numbers 

Wanting to go from 6 to 7 figures? More followers? A dream home? That’s not bad—but what is that goal really trying to give you? 

 Love? Safety? Recognition? 

 Understanding the emotional root of your ambition helps you stop chasing and start receiving. 

5. Alignment Creates Sustainability 

The more you build from your nervous system—not against it—the more easeful and sustainable your success becomes. That’s when income, impact, and intuition start working together. 

🔁 So, What Can You Do This Week? 

Try this simple practice Ava shared: 

“Pause, breathe, and ask: What does my heart need to feel safe in this next level of growth?” 

That might mean tightening up your financial systems. 

 Or resting for a weekend without guilt. 

 Or saying no to a client that doesn’t feel aligned. 

Whatever it is—start listening. Start leading with your inner world just as much as your strategy. 

The Bottom Line 

For online coaches, money isn’t just a metric. 

 It’s a mirror. 

It reflects your beliefs, your boundaries, and your energy. 

You can have structure and softness. 

Strategy and soul. 

Scaling and safety. It’s not one or the other. It’s both. And that’s where your next level of wealth—and peace—lives.
