Now, here’s what lovely Kate Palmer from Journey to Joy Coaching had to say…
How and when did your business start?
I originally trained as a herbalist and started offering consultations in 2019. When Covid stopped me seeing people in person I took the opportunity to train as a nutritionist and then in 2022 I combined the different holistic healing modalities I’d learned into an online coaching business. Originally I mainly focused on holistic weight loss, because that was what I got asked most about. At the beginning of 2024, however, I decided it really didn’t align with me, so I’ve shifted my focus to skin health and cellular rejuvenation. This ties in perfectly with a longstanding interest, as I also have an artisan natural skincare business.
What have been your biggest business challenges?
I would say my biggest challenge was finding the right niche. After training as a nutritionist and many related fields, I wasn’t sure what I wanted my niche to be. I ended up going with weight loss, because it was the most common thing people asked me about, but I found it didn’t feel right to me to focus on weight loss, when I wanted to focus on overall health and then weight loss would be a side-effect of that. I eventually realised that doing what I thought people wanted instead of what really lit me up wasn’t working, because I wasn’t showing up as I should for my business. I’ve also faced challenges with building my online presence and getting visible, but this is something I’m really working on at the moment and Maddy’s membership has been a great help with this.
What is the best thing about being in Maddy Alexander-Grout’s Invisible To Influential membership?
The best thing I’ve found so far about Maddy’s membership is it’s a really supportive community to ask questions and it’s inspired me to seriously work on my visibility, which is something I’ve been procrastinating about for ages.
Do you have any tips on how to stick to your New Year’s resolutions?
The first thing I would say is to make sure that you choose resolutions that truly align with you, rather than just what you think you should do. When you have the right goals set, some of my top tips for sticking to them would be to plan ahead how you are going to meet your goal, including planning for obstacles. For example, if you want to get fit in 2025, so you make a resolution to go for a jog each morning, do you have a backup plan if it’s icy outside or if you have an unexpected family commitment? In the moment you’ll probably just abandon the goal altogether, so by having backup plans for obstacles that could occur, you give yourself the best chance of succeeding. If anyone wants more tips on this, I actually have a free challenge that focuses on exactly this question: https://www.journeytojoycoaching.co.uk/rethink-your-habits-challenge
Are there any recent wins that you would like to tell us about?
I’ve finally launched my podcast after far too long procrastinating and got myself booked as a guest speaker at a number of events.
Have you got anything exciting coming up that you would like to tell us about?
I’m just launching my Holistic Healing for Your Skin programme, which is a comprehensive programme to help people who currently struggle with skin problems like acne and eczema to understand the root causes and introduce simple dietary strategies to reclaim glowing skin. I’m also putting together a summit for health and wellbeing professionals to share their expertise and would love some more contributors. All the info is at www.journeytojoycoaching.co.uk/summit-info
