The Blue Sofa - Soulful Secrets to Scale Your Online Business as a Female Entrepreneur

Stop Choosing Between Money and Meaning in Your Coaching Business

Mia Poulsen Episode 31

In this episode of The Blue Sofa, we challenge one of the most damaging narratives in coaching and online business: the idea that you must choose between money or meaning, alignment or growth, authenticity or structure.

You’ll hear why this either–or mindset quietly keeps capable women stuck — and how a both–and approach creates calm, clarity, and consistent client flow.

This episode is for you if you want to grow a profitable coaching business without burning out, hardening yourself, or losing what made you start in the first place.


In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why “money vs. meaning” is a false dilemma


  • How hustle culture and fluffy spirituality both miss the mark


  • The moment I realized alignment without structure was holding me back


  • What the BOTH–AND framework really looks like in practice


  • Why structure doesn’t kill soul — it protects it


  • How to create client flow that doesn’t depend on motivation or mood



Key takeaway:

Energy influences how you show up.
But structure determines whether your business actually works.

When meaning fuels a system — instead of replacing it — business becomes calmer, more sustainable, and far more predictable.
