What is a Life Coach + why you need one!

Wednesday, July 3, 2024 2:26 PM

I was first introduced to life coaching from my mother and yet when I began my self discovery journey I never thought to hire one! Now that I am a life coach and still continue working with my life coach, I see how beneficial it would have been for me in my mid 20’s!


When I tell people I’m a life coach, I often get blank stares or they assume a life coach is just another word for therapy. So what is life coaching?


Therapy focuses on working through past trauma and experiences or emotions. Life coaching is all about forward motion and action and helping you to achieve goals, or overcoming what may be holding you back to living the life of your dreams! A coach/therapist can help you identify which is the best option for you!


As a Life Coach is there to guide you, to ask you the questions to get you to dig deeper and find the answers within yourself. I'm here to support you, to keep you accountable to your goals and to use the tools + resources I have to help you overcome what's holding you back so you can find + live your best life!


I specialize in working with women who are looking to start their self discovery journey. For those that are unfamiliar with a self discovery journey it is the transformation process where you truly figure out who you are and what you want out of life! I have created my own version of the Wheel of Life specific to what you need to get started on your journey.


In my early 20’s I was in my rock bottom chapter of my life and had no direction. I wish I had someone to guide me, to help me see what my gremlins + limiting beliefs were, to help me figure out how to overcome what’s holding me back to truly live my best life! To help me simply answer the question - “who am I?”


Key Benefits to Hiring a Life Coach:

Oh my goodness! This could be a never ending list.

  • Guidance from someone who's been in your shoes
  • Tools + Resources you may be unfamiliar with
  • Different perspective that is non judgmental, supportive and not bias
  • Support + Accountability during this transformation that can be stressful + overwhelming
  • A coach is able to help you focus and motivate you to move forward
  • Coaching can help you uncover hidden limiting beliefs + obstacles that may be holding you back. They will then work with you using a variety of tools + resources to help you move past them.
  • So many more benefits to explore!


Sounds great right? Who wouldn’t want someone to help guide them through those crucial years of finding themselves! Many assume that life coaching is too expensive. I look at the value behind it, how much are you willing to invest in yourself to find + live your best life?

First look at what Living My Best Life means to you. Now imagine that were your reality. How much is that worth to you?


I often work with individuals, but if you are looking for that same value but in a maybe more affordable setting - that is where group coaching comes into play! Maybe coaches offer individual coaching as well as group coaching. There isn’t necessarily that one on one connection, but you also get that opportunity to learn from others in similar situations as well as the coach.


In my early 20’s I would have felt intimidated working with a coach one on one, so group coaching allows a more inviting setting for those just getting started that are looking to dip their toe in the coaching pond. I find most of my clients start in group coaching and then as they feel more confident in themselves and their journey may transition to a one on one coaching relationship.


There are so many options when it comes to coaching. When I have discovery calls with potential clients, I always ask a few questions.

  1. Why are you considering coaching?
  2. What are you hoping to gain from coaching?
  3. How much time + energy are you willing to put into your coaching experience?


If you are considering coaching I would encourage you to do some exploration! Figure out what you are looking for and what aspects of your life you want to focus on. Then schedule a few discovery calls with different coaches and ask questions. Ask about a typical session, see what their niche is, what their experience and credentials are and find the right fit FOR YOU!. Having the right life coach is CRUCIAL. I do not say this lightly! I have had a few life coaches that I have worked with and I can say from experience, the right coach will be the one that makes you feel safe, and brings out the best in you.


If you’d like to explore coaching please feel free to email me and schedule your complimentary discovery call to see if coaching with me is the right fit! I offer a variety of options to fit the different needs of my clients.


Everything you are going through is preparing you for what you asked you! Now go find + live your best life!
