But in 2020, she took a bold step forward by launching her coaching business as a business blogging coach for women, a move filled with passion but marred by imperfect execution. It didn’t take her long to realize that she needed a more focused, quality-driven approach.That revelation led to the creation of her first German membership – where she was teaching a strategic formula that empowers coaches and course creators to monetize authentic content. This wasn’t about casting a wide net; it was about fishing in the right ponds. The result? A vibrant, engaged community and my first 100k year earned by putting passion and purpose at the forefront.Fast forward to 2023, when life threw her a curveball called burnout. But instead of collapsing, she took it as a clarion call to refocus and realign.
