In this powerful episode of the Health Coach Academy Podcast, I sit down with Brian Metzger, a former Franciscan monk turned spiritual director and entrepreneur, to uncover the deep connections between spirituality, mindset, and financial success.
Brian shares his incredible journey—from spending years as a monk, living in some of the world's most impoverished areas, to leaving the monastery in 2019 and navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship. He discusses how he overcame limiting beliefs about money, turned his spiritual calling into a business, and now helps others transform their lives through spiritual direction and coaching.
If you're a health coach, entrepreneur, or professional struggling with money blocks, purpose, or self-worth, this episode is for you. Brian shares practical strategies to shift your mindset, build wealth without guilt, and integrate spirituality into your business for lasting success.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ How spirituality and business are deeply connected (and why ignoring this limits your success)
✅ Overcoming limiting beliefs about money—shifting from scarcity to abundance
✅ The importance of self-worth in financial success
✅ Why health coaches and other professionals unintentionally inherit a "poverty mindset"
