The Real problems Life coaching solves and why chnage feels so hard alone

Most people don't seek a life coach because something is dramatically wrong- they seek a life coach because something no longer feels "right" - and they can't quite put their finger on why. I know as I have been there myself and coaching transformed my life from burnout, stagnation and feeling lost to finding myself again and living my dream life in as little as 6 months. Personally I always had a perception coaching was very superficial and usually was connected to capital gain. Now I know I couldn't be further from that belief when as a life coach I guide my clients to solve core problems which might be surface level issues but usually are deeply rooted in limiting beliefs and internal blocks. Understanding how we often live 30, 40, 50 years "programmed " by these limiting beliefs and internal conversations , and what life can look like once we get rid of them, I just knew I had to help others achieve exactly this freedom, empowerment and happiness such a life feels like. Many of my clients have everything on paper yet feel an internal dissatisfaction or anxious feeling they can not get rid off. They might have everything externally yet feel unfulfilled internally. A good life coach helps uncover why this disconnection exists and how to move forward and away from it with clarity, confidence and purpose without burning everything done through a change in our mindsets and actions. If we don't change, nothing around us will. We are all aware of this yet change often feels scary and unfamiliar . That's why having a coach helping you break it down into small action steps and to navigate it as well as keeping you accountable makes such a massive difference. I would personally never have had the courage to turn my life around if it was not through the support and encouragement I received. And what is so incredibly amazing is that often a client contacts me with a very specific issue in their career or life but once you start to look at what is blocking them and work on that suddenly so many new amazing channels open. Personally it made me change my career completely, even if once I got coached I made more money than ever in my jewellery business, my relationships with the close people around me, healed old wounds that I could continue forward and made me not only dream but actually suddenly live that dream in terms of relocating etc. It taught me that life transitions can really shake our sense of identity and safety and especially in midlife , many of us long lost our core long ago by facilitating others - our partners , kids, parents, work colleagues and so on along the way and in a life transition when we feel we lose the "path", most of us no longer even know which "path" it is we want to get back on. That is when coaching provides clarity, emotional regulation and structure and action steps in uncertain times. Just like many others I thought I was highly self-aware . I had read the books, studied psychology, listened to the podcasts and even had years of therapy and yet I found myself in the same unhealthy relationships and stopping or self sabotaging my career and even stopping myself from not only living my dream but stop dreaming or wanting. I was stuck in a never land between logic and emotion. I helped others solve problems yet felt completely stuck to myself. I was desperate for change -but had no idea how to turn my situation around. Internally I was scared and I had long ago stopped trusting myself and through that lost self respect and self love/gratitude. I was quick to point out all that I did wrong and never give myself credit in all that I actually succeed in. My internal dialogue was that of a mentally abusive friend constantly talking myself down and pointing out all my faults and flaws. Coaching changed my perspective and inner dialogue, the internally abusive friend still pops up at times and has to be quieted however a majority of the time I now have a cheerleader cheering and encouraging me. That has changed my actions and how I look after myself and those inner wounds have healed and been replaced with love. Coaching helped me create awareness without judgement and built emotional and nervous system resilience which made real life change. It helped build the missing bridge between knowing and doing and also gave me the courage. I am now in control of my life again , funnily enough by letting go. The difference is though that I am in a completely different place with myself, I now attract the "right" things. What I have learnt- both as a client and as a coach- is that change doesn't come from pushing harder or doing more, it comes from going deep and changing our inner dialogue, which will change our perspective which changes our actions which then changes the outcomes. Through coaching you are not becoming someone else , you are becoming you with all your amazing hidden potentials and talents. It's unlocking and empowering the inner you that is already there beneath the noise and conditi
