Debunking "Lifestyle Coaching"
I didn’t grow up thinking, “I want to be a lifestyle coach.”
I wanted to be a writer but I didn’t believe I was gifted enough to make it a career. So I studied journalism in college. Then I didn’t believe I was a good enough reporter so I stuck to op-ed style pieces. Then, I questioned myself yet again, pushing myself further behind the scenes editing other journalists’ work.
I hid behind my doubts until four years ago. I realized I was losing myself by listening to the lies. Sure, there would always be someone better than me, but there’s only one me.
That propelled my business. There may be thousands of other coaches out there but there is only one me.
So what do I do?
When I started my journey as a lifestyle coach, I was sick of feeling angry & small. I decided to commit to becoming a better version of myself.
I work out 7 days a week (or at least aim to). I clean up my nutrition (while still enjoying a beer or Chik-fil-a every now and then).The most important thing for me is establishing consistency. I do quick, easy, attainable workouts, stick to my nutrition plan, and take it a day at a time.
Luckily, I have a team to hold me accountable and I invest in my mental health through books, podcasts & mentors. You don’t have to do any of this alone. We all need a community. I’m here to help you find yours.
