How I Fell for Coaching


Before I started training as a coach, I thought life coaching was for other people, but not for me. It all felt vaguely indulgent for people with too much time on their hands. 


On a whim in 2020, I took an eight-week coaching class and I finally grasped how powerful it can be to have a reflective and focused conversation with someone who holds your goals. I was hooked. Over the last three years, I have moved steadily through courses focusing on strengths coaching, brain-based coaching, ADHD coaching, and body-based coaching, and I have loved it all!


Now I see coaching as an important tool for growth, self-awareness, and action. It has helped me move toward my passions and through the inevitable bumps that come along the way. I have worked with many coaches over the last few years and benefited greatly from these amazing people. 



Coaching has helped me to do things such as:
  • Create a greater commitment to my health through sleep and exercise

  • Find the confidence to move my business in a new direction

  • Envision and create the schedule I want

  • Ask for the things I need

  • Create boundaries where there were none


It has also given me a wealth of information and resources that I am excited to share with clients!


My question for you: Is there an area in your life that you’re feeling ready to explore and bring new awareness to? How can you cultivate curiosity this week in this area?
