Your Business Problems Are Mind Problems with James and Jenni Wedmore | EP. 101

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0400

If you've ever felt like your business problems were strategy problems, this episode will flip that completely. Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas sits down with her mentors James and Jenni Wedmore for a conversation about what business breakthroughs actually require, and why the internal work isn't separate from the business work.

In this episode, they cover:

What a business breakthrough actually is and why it almost never looks like what you expect
Why every problem in your business starts as a problem of the mind, and what to do with that
How James took his business from $2M to $10M in one year
What you're avoiding in your business, why you're avoiding it, and what that's costing you
Why the "uncoachable client" label says more about the coach than the client
A practical experiment for the skeptical, analytical person who wants to see if the internal work actually matters

If you've been wondering why the strategy isn't working even when you're doing everything right, this conversation is for you.

10 Important Things I've Learned from 1,000 Coaches | EP. 100

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0400

100 episodes. 1,000 students. Six years mentoring health and fitness coaches. For the milestone 100th episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas is sharing the 10 things she couldn't have known without all of it.

In this episode, she covers:

Why the coaches who care most are often the ones struggling most with client motivation and consistency
The ceiling coaches unknowingly place on their own clients (and how it quietly limits outcomes)
Why self-doubt is the real #1 thing holding coaches back, not skill gaps, not their niche, not their content
How coaches with 20 years of experience still deal with imposter syndrome and what to do with it instead of fighting it
The difference between taking your work seriously and taking it personally, and why it matters for burnout
Why the most effective coaches rarely tell clients what to do
What most certifications miss and why HMCC exists to fill that specific gap
Why community might be the most underrated factor in coaching career growth
The uncomfortable truth about coaches falling out of love with their work
How mindset and behavior change skills end up changing more than your coaching

If you've ever wondered whether the struggles you're feeling as a coach mean something is wrong with you, this one is going to hit.

EP 99: Money Mindset Blocks from Prospective Clients (How to Handle Them)

Mon, 25 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

You just had a great consult call with a prospective client, but at the end they hit you with a "I'm not sure now is the right time". And now you're left wondering what you did wrong. Most of the time, it has nothing to do with your pitch, your price, or your program. And it has everything to do with what was going on inside your prospective client's mind (that neither of you are aware of).

In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down the psychology behind the most common sales objections coaches hear, including "I can't afford it," "I need to think about it," and "I need to talk to my partner."

In this episode, she covers:

Why "I can't afford it" is almost never a math problem and what belief is actually driving that objection
The cognitive science behind "now isn't the right time" and why your client's brain is literally working against big financial decisions
What coaches get wrong about urgency and how hesitation gives excuses room to grow
How loss aversion, self-efficacy, and present bias all show up in your sales conversations (and what to do about each)
The shift from reactive to proactive: why the most effective sales work happens before a client ever gets on a call with you

If you've ever had a seemingly motivated, excited prospect go quiet after a great call, this episode is going to reframe the whole thing for you.

EP 98: Why Health Coaches Hate Selling (This One Belief is Costing You)

Mon, 18 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

If you've ever told yourself you're just not a salesperson, that belief is probably costing you more than you realize. In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas talks about how money mindset beliefs create resistance to selling, but that isn't a character flaw. It's a story. This episode helps you unpack that story.

In this episode, she covers:

Why coaches with a strong "helper" identity often unconsciously reject selling, and the research behind why this happens
How selling is already woven into your everyday life in ways that don't feel slimy at all
The difference between influence and manipulation, and why conflating the two is holding you back
Why not talking about your services isn't humility, it's fear, and who's actually paying the price for that
The one reframe that removes most of the pressure around selling your offer

If you've ever felt like selling goes against who you are as a person or that you're "a coach not a salesperson", this episode is for you.

EP 97: Are SMART Goals, Habit Tracking, and "Locking In" Overrated?

Mon, 11 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Are SMART goals actually helping you change your behavior or just checking a box? In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas and co-host Sarah Tierney play "overrated or underrated" with popular health and behavior change concepts, debating what actually works for long-term success versus what sounds good in theory but falls short in practice.

From SMART goals, to accountability buddies, to habit tracking and "locking in" for the new year, Kasey and Sarah unpack the psychology behind these strategies and share what coaches (and clients) should focus on instead.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why SMART goals don't work for weight loss and behavior change (and what to use instead)
Do accountability partners actually work for fitness goals? The truth about when they help versus create dependence
What's the difference between habit tracking and building actual habits, and why most people get this wrong

If you've ever wondered whether popular goal-setting strategies actually work, or if there's a better way to approach behavior change, this episode breaks down what's worth your time and what's just trendy advice that won't stick long-term.

EP 96: What to Do If Your Clients Are Making Excuses

Mon, 04 May 2026 06:00:00 -0400

"Is my client just making excuses?" If you've ever asked yourself this, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas has some thoughts. Spoiler: the answer doesn't actually matter, and asking the question might be getting in your way.

In this episode, she covers:

What happens when coaches or clients label something as an "excuse" vs. a "valid reason"
How the excuse vs. valid reason debate hurts your coaching an client follow though
The real reason stressed clients struggle with self-control (hint: it's brain science, not character)
What self-determination theory reveals about why external goals lead to fragile consistency
Why you should top focusing on coaching your clients’ “willpower” and what the more effective strategy really is
Specific questions to ask when a client doesn't stick to the plan or lacks consistency

EP 95: Emotional Eating, Sales Call Scripts and Client Check-In Questions (Q&A Part 2)

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

A client can have hyper-positive check-ins every single week and still be struggling through an entire month without telling you. In part two of this live Q&A, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas gets into why that happens, what coaches are accidentally doing to make it worse, and what to do instead.

In this episode, she covers:

Why calling a client an 'emotional eater' (or letting them call themselves one) makes the behavior harder to change, and the difference between overeating, binge eating, and binge eating disorder that every coach needs to know
The check-in question coaches think is supportive that actually puts the wrong responsibility on the wrong person
How to identify fixed mindset in clients through their language instead of telling them they have it (and why telling them never works)
What to do when a client feels unworthy, shuts down, or says 'I don't know' to every question about her self-worth
The rocks analogy for prioritizing when a client has too much going on and coaching time is limited
How to get clients to name specific emotions instead of just saying 'good' or 'bad' (including when to use a feelings wheel)

If you've ever thought you and your client were fully aligned on a plan, just for them to fall off track anyway, the gap between those two moments is exactly what this episode is about.

EP 94: Don't Tell Your Clients They Have a Fixed Mindset (Q&A Pt. 1)

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

This Q&A session was so good, we had to bring it to the podcast! Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas takes real questions from coaches and breaks down the moments quietly making or breaking client results. Unsupportive partners, scale obsession, meal prep struggles, and the fixed vs. growth mindset conversation: she brings her psychology background to the actual coaching challenges you're facing.

In this episode, she covers:

Why clients who lack support from family or a partner struggle more than you think, and how the conversation that hasn't been had yet is usually the real problem
How to use reflection and motivational interviewing when a client keeps missing meals and blaming it on a busy week
Why celebrating small wins for your clients instead of helping them celebrate their own wins is creating a dependency you really don't want
How to help a client shift her fixation on the scale without scrapping her weight goal altogether
Why directly telling a client they have a fixed mindset will backfire, and what Kasey does instead

If you've ever felt unsure how to coach through a mindset block without naming it out loud, this episode has the practical language you're looking for.

EP 93: What to Do When Clients Won't Answer Your Questions

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

What do you do when you can't figure out what your client actually needs? Coaching alone is hard, and without peer review or a space to troubleshoot tricky client scenarios, it's easy to feel stuck, uncertain, or like you're missing something important.

In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas and co-host, Sarah Tierney, pull real questions from HMCC students and alumni about challenging client situations. From clients who struggle with open-ended questions to moments when coaching feels more like a sounding board than a strategy session.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to navigate when you can't tell if a client has a knowledge gap or a self-efficacy issue
What to do when clients struggle to answer open-ended questions (and why offering multiple-choice guidance can be a game-changer)
How to address red-flag language from clients without making them feel judged or shamed
And so much more!

If you've ever felt directionless with a client, unsure what question to ask next, or wondered "am I even helping?", this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to troubleshoot real client scenarios more effectively.

EP 92: The Science of Not Giving Up (And How to Coach It)

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Your client falls off the plan. You tweak the plan. They fall off again. In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down why changing the plan isn't fixing the problem, and what's actually going on underneath it: psychological flexibility. Research consistently links it to better outcomes in weight loss, exercise adherence, and emotional regulation, and it's one of the most overlooked skills in coaching.

In this episode, she covers:

What psychological flexibility actually is (and what it's not)
The research linking psychological flexibility to better client outcomes
The six core processes from the Acceptance Commitment Therapy model and how to apply each one in coaching
The specific language patterns that signal a client is psychologically inflexible, including "just tell me what to do," "if I can't do it perfectly why bother," and "I'll start over Monday"
How to reinforce flexible behavior when it's already showing up in your clients
Why reconnecting clients to their values is what makes discomfort meaningful instead of just hard

If you've ever had a client who looked motivated, said all the right things, and still couldn't follow through, this episode is for you.

EP 90: 5 Coaching Strategies for More Consistent Clients

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

Have you ever watched a client fall off track and chalked it up to a lack of motivation? What if that's not actually what's going on?

Clients who can't seem to stick to the plan might have nothing to do with motivation and everything to do with this: lack of discomfort tolerance. The process of behavior change requires staying resilient when things get uncomfortable, and this is something coaches are almost never taught how to help their clients build. Until now.

In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down the real reason clients struggle to stick to the plan and shares practical strategies coaches can start using right away. She covers:

Why clients don't struggle because they don't know what to do (they struggle because they can't tolerate the discomfort that comes with doing it)
The research behind self-efficacy, stress mindset, and psychological flexibility and why it all matters for behavior change
5 coaching strategies to build discomfort tolerance, including urge surfing, stress reappraisal, and reflective debriefing
The coaching mistakes that accidentally keep clients stuck

If you want to help clients push through the hard stuff and actually see results that last, this episode is for you.

EP 89: Momentary Restriction [Coaching Tool] with Sarah Tierney

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0400

You've heard this before: "If you don't want to be tempted to eat it, then don't have it around". But is this really an effective strategy to use with your clients?

In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas and co-host Sarah Tierney break down a powerful coaching tool: momentary restriction (also known as abstinence sampling). With this tool, the goal isn't to take away the foods that your clients crave forever, but instead bring more awareness to the behavior itself in order to change it. They discuss:

Why awareness of current behaviors is step one before any change can happen
Who makes a good candidate for this strategy (and who doesn't)
How to present this tool so clients actually buy in and stick with it

If you want a practical, research-backed tool to help clients build self-awareness around challenging foods or behaviors, this episode gives you the framework to use it effectively.

EP 87: Are GLP-1 Medications Putting Coaches Out of Business?

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Are you worried GLP-1 medications will make coaches obsolete? Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are changing the weight loss conversation, but they're not replacing the work coaches do. In fact, they're making behavior change coaching more essential than ever.

In this episode, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down what GLP-1s actually do, why 50-75% of users stop taking them within a year, and how coaches can support clients using these medications while staying ethically grounded and professionally valuable.

You'll learn:

What GLP-1 medications actually do (and what they don't teach clients about behavior change, mindset, or long-term habits)
Why people still need coaches even when medication accelerates weight loss
How to navigate the ethical dilemma of posting client transformations when GLP-1 use is involved
Six ways coaches can support clients on GLP-1s, from muscle preservation to managing identity shifts and shame
Why the future of coaching requires more psychology, communication skills, and mindset work (not less)

Ever wonder exactly who and what's behind the research and coaching advice?

EP 85: The Big 4 Mindset Blocks Holding Coaches Back

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0500

After working with 1000+ coaches, Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas breaks down the hidden mindset barriers coaches carry and how those blindspots directly impact client outcomes, confidence, and results. If you're a coach who's over-educating, over-delivering, or constantly planning instead of acting, there's a good chance you need to address one of these mindset blocks.

This episode is for:

Coaches who feel like they're working harder but not seeing the client results they want
Anyone who compensates with over-delivering, over-educating, or hyper-focusing on clients to avoid looking inward
Coaches ready to recognize that their own growth directly sets the ceiling for their clients' results

EP 84: Your Body is Your Business Card

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Have you ever felt like you need to look a certain way to sign more clients as a health coach? That "your body is your business card" belief could be doing more harm than good for you and your clients.

In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas sits down with co-host, Sarah Tierney, to unpack the belief that coaches must achieve a certain aesthetic to be credible. Sarah, who teaches body image inside the Health Mindset Coaching Certification, brings research-backed insights on why this mindset is so common and so damaging. They discuss:

Why coaches' unexamined body image beliefs can accidentally pass unhelpful patterns to clients
Positive vs. neutral body image beliefs
The harmful effects of "look good naked" messaging on social media
When (and how) it's okay to talk about body transformation as a coach
And discuss a real-life example from an HMCC student, who is a registered dietitian who felt she couldn't market her expertise because her body didn't "look the part."

If you're a health or fitness coach struggling with how to show up authentically online, or wondering how to help clients with body image goals without causing harm, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and give you a more nuanced framework to work from.

Episode #20: ABCs of Behavior Change

EP 83: Do You Have to Change Who You Are to Be Successful?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

This idea has been hitting host, Dr Kasey Jo Orvidas, over and over lately: "Do we really have to change who we are to see success?" Health, fitness, business, relationships: it's a question we all wrestle with.

In this episode, she unpacks why the belief that you must be someone else to succeed can actually hold you back. She talks about:

How "ideal person" thinking can be impossible and demoralizing
Why confidence, motivation, or self-control aren't fixed traits, that they're skills you can grow
How to focus on what actions actually move the needle, instead of chasing perfection
Real-life examples from coaching, business stages, and retreats showing that success isn't about reinventing yourself

Instead of trying to become a "perfect version" of someone else, what if success comes from you with some new skills, habits, and support?

If you've ever felt daunted by the idea that you need to completely change yourself to make progress, this episode is for you. It's time to break free from the fixed mindset drama and focus on what actually works.

EP 82: Ask Me Anything: My Fixed Mindset, Coaching Industry Shifts, Finding Your Niche, and More

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Am I even capable of this?” (about your dating life, business, school, or health?) That could be your fixed mindset creeping in.

In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas, breaks down practical ways to coach clients (and yourself) when belief in change feels impossible, even when progress is already happening. She talks about how to:

Ask the right questions to uncover why someone doesn’t believe in their progress
Highlight wins without just telling someone they’ve succeeded and let them interpret what it means for them
Shift from “I did X, therefore I am Y” to a mindset that actually fuels growth
Navigate being single in your 30s

We also explore current shifts in the coaching industry: why people are seeking more value, why hesitation around investments is normal, and why standing out as a coach matters more than ever. If you want to help clients break through mindset barriers, clarify your niche, and grow confidently in a crowded market, this episode is for you.

EP 81: Obesity... An Addictive Disorder?

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

We’ve all heard the dramatic claims about food being “as addictive as drugs,” but a new EEG study offers a much clearer, more grounded look at what’s actually happening in the brain.

In this episode, host Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas, breaks down research comparing brain activity in lean adults, adults with obesity, and people with alcohol addiction... and what this reveals about cravings, overeating, and reward.

More importantly, we explore how the language we use (addiction, disease, willpower) shapes people’s beliefs about change. Because the way we interpret our struggles can either open the door to behavior change… or quietly shut it.
