Let’s Clear Some Ambiguity

People may not know exactly what I do or what my profession is. And that is understandable because the term or title “Life Coach” is so broad and general that it lacks depth and meaning. It can leave people feeling confused and often too embarrassed to ask more questions about what it all means.

As many of us who are passionate about what we do, we just assume everyone knows and is right there with us in all the knowledge we swim in about our professions or areas we are committed to. But that is not the case, and I am really glad to have had the opportunity to realize where I need to be a source of information and inspiration from a compassionate level. Not to mention, I need to educate people and dispel some of the myths and misconceptions about what a Life Coach is and more specifically, the work I do.

Let’s get down to the meaning of what a Life Coach is and more importantly what I do. Because let’s face it, no two coaches are the same, nor do we want to be!

Time to Bust Some Myths with Truth Bombs!

MYTH #1: A life coach is a BFF that you hire to listen to your problems and tell you everything will be okay.⁠
TRUTH: A life coach helps you dig in a little deeper into those underlying limiting beliefs that hold you back from being the person you want to become.⁠ We have a way of breaking through the surface and approach your circumstances.

MYTH #2: Hiring a life coach means you are broken or there is something wrong with you.⁠
TRUTH: Anyone who desires to live a harmonious and happy life can do so with a coach. You don’t have to be in turmoil to seek professional guidance in order to reach the best version of yourself. The gifts of an excellent life coach is to see in you what you cannot see for yourself, and to help you shift your perspective and believe that you are capable of anything you put your mind to.⁠

MYTH #3: Investing in your personal growth and self-development is a waste of your time and money.
TRUTH: Oh on the contrary! Investing in yourself is one of the greatest investments you will ever make. The results are priceless and YOU ARE WORTH THE INVESTMENT!

MYTH #4: All the information on the internet and in books are great, and specifically directed to your unique needs, hopes, aspirations, challenges.
TRUTH: Even though there are excellent resources out there, nothing compares to a personal coach. They can get you from where you are now to where you want to be a lot quicker than by doing things on your own, cutting through all the weeds with a fresh and unbiased perspective.

So What Does a Life Coach Do?

A really good coach will take all of the moving parts of your life – career/business, parenting, relationships, health, etc. and make it all fit together so you find your balance and happiness. I am so deeply committed to your success that it is my drive and motivation to do what I do each day.

A good coach has walked the walk and talked the talk. We have journeyed and done our own deep work in ourselves. As I can only speak for myself, I continue to do the work each and every day on myself too.

A Life Coach reaches beyond the quick-fix solution and helps you create reliable and sustainable habits you need in order to achieve your desired lifestyle.

Because a confident, positive, healthy version of YOU is the foundation of every single part of your life.
