157. The Power of Coaching and Stories We Tell

The Quilters Coach Podcast

Do you ever find yourself feeling stuck in a pattern of self-doubt and frustration, especially when things don't go as planned? In a recent experience, I worked with a client who felt overwhelmed by her sister's rare and challenging health condition. Through our coaching sessions, she had a transformative realization: she was viewing her situation through a "broken brain" lens, leading to unnecessary self-criticism and emotional turmoil. This newfound awareness not only helped her shed physical weight but also brought a sense of clarity and emotional relief.

In this episode, I delve into the ups and downs of both personal and professional life, emphasizing how our mindset can significantly impact our experiences. I share how, even as a coach, I sometimes struggle with feeling like a failure when business outcomes aren't as expected. This story serves as a powerful reminder that growth and progress are often non-linear, filled with setbacks and breakthroughs. I also touch on the physical manifestations of emotional stress, sharing my personal encounter with illness due to overworking and neglecting my body's needs.

What you will learn in this episode:

• The importance of recognizing and reframing negative thought patterns.
• The reality of non-linear progress in both personal and professional growth.
• The link between emotional stress and physical health and how life coaching can aid in achieving a holistic balance.

Join me as we explore these themes and learn how to navigate life's challenges with more compassion and resilience.
