Iâm pulling back the curtain on the thoughts that plague even experienced coaches like me. From wondering why I have to work so hard, to fantasizing about quitting my business and getting a âregularâ job, Iâve been there.

Are you holding yourself to an impossible standard as a coach? I've noticed a troubling pattern among coachesâthis underlying belief that because they're coaches, they should somehow transcend the human experience. They think they should have all the answers, never struggle, and be immune to the very challenges they help clients navigate.
In today's episode, I'm diving into why coaches often feel they should "know better" or "be better" than they currently are. I share specific examples of how this shows up in my coaching containers and explain why embracing your humanity actually makes you a more effective coach.

Have you ever noticed how when you're trying to change something about yourself, you often swing from one extreme to the other before finding balance? This fascinating pattern is what I call "the pendulum effect" in coaching. Just like a physical pendulum that swings back and forth before settling in the middle, our behaviors and beliefs often follow this same trajectory when we're working on personal growth.
The beauty of understanding this pendulum effect is that it helps normalize what can otherwise feel like an uncomfortable or even alarming process. Today, I'm sharing how to recognize this pattern in yourself and your clients, why it happens naturally, and how you can intentionally use this concept to create powerful transformations.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I can't believe I'm back here again" or "I should be further along by now"? This belief that we're somehow starting over or regressing in our progress is one of the most common and damaging thoughts I hear from coaches. It's a sneaky mindset trap that not only makes you feel terrible but actively prevents you from solving the very problems you're facing.
Today I'm breaking down why this belief is so harmful, what's actually happening instead, and how to shift your perspective when these thoughts arise. I'll share real examples from my clients, hypothetical scenarios you might encounter with your own clients, and even my personal experiences with this mindset trap. By the end of this episode, you'll have practical tools to recognize when you or your clients are caught in this thinking pattern and know exactly how to move forward without the weight of shame or frustration.

As coaches, we often learn specific techniques and tools that we believe will help our clients achieve their goals. However, not every client resonates with the same methods. Some may struggle with journaling, while others prefer talking through their thoughts instead of writing them down.
By taking a step back and considering the underlying purpose of each tool or technique, we can find alternative ways to help our clients create the same powerful results. This adaptability not only improves the coaching experience but also empowers clients to trust themselves and develop problem-solving skills they can use long after the coaching relationship ends.
