What is a Life Coach and How Do They Help?
If you found yourself here you’re either looking to invest in a life coach or become one. And before you do, you want to really know with certainty, how do they actually help people? There are so many ways coaches help people, but I want to focus on some of the biggest ways I help my clients. Coaching isn’t just about connecting with your dreams and goals, (though it is a powerful way to do that too!), it’s about connecting with YOU and who you really are.
As a coach, I can help you:
✨ease your resistance ✨connect with your intuitive knowing ✨trust yourself ✨ make decisions in alignment ✨play more ✨ allow more ✨follow curiosities for the sake of joy ✨let go ✨ create space ✨have deeper connection and more meaningful relationships ✨uncover hidden passions ✨focus on what’s working ✨practice self-care and self-love in your thoughts and actions ✨bring awareness to your thoughts and realize they are not YOU, making them easier to release ✨follow inspired ideas when they flow through ✨say no and yes in integrity ✨release guilt ✨ release shame ✨ connect with your aliveness ✨connect with your courage ✨ take small steps toward your desires✨connect with your well-being ✨connect with your complete worthiness ✨allow your feelings to guide you instead of buffering them or pushing them away ✨practice kindness to yourself and others ✨allow your natural abundance ✨take back responsibility for yourself and how you feel ✨enjoy the unfolding ✨
Coaching helps you do this by helping you manage one of the most important alignment tools you have in creating your life: Your Thoughts and Mind.
Here are other ways life coaching is beneficial:
Coaching helps create awareness of where you are right now. When you have a coach in your corner reflecting back what you’re thinking and feeling you begin to create self-awareness between what you’re thinking and what you’re feeling…
Coaching helps you gain clarity of where you desire to go. Once you know these two things you can begin to recognize the gap in thoughts, feelings, and actions between the two.
Coaching helps close the gap between where you are now and where you want to go. I help you by teaching you how to connect with the heart of your intentions and release resistance that’s stopping you from moving forward. Clarifying our WHY for any desire helps us connect with it and motivates us to keep moving toward our goals, especially in the beginning when growth feels slower. More often than not, it’s our mind stopping us. We’re repeating old thoughts and beliefs over and over that are keeping us stuck where we are. If we are truly desiring to change, we have to start thinking about new thoughts that align us with the person we desire to be!
Coaching helps us show up more alive in the world. As a coach, I help you release your resistance and when you do that you feel lighter, freer, more energetic, and ALIVE!
Coaching helps us focus on what’s working. Of course, it’s easy to see what’s not working. That’s what most of the world focuses on. But I redirect you to what IS working. When you focus there, you are living in a space of appreciation and love. When you’re living from a place of appreciation and love, you are able to receive inspired ideas and actions to take that feel good to take! And because you feel so good taking them, you do!
Coaching helps you build momentum in the direction of your dreams. As your coach, I help you focus on one small step at a time toward the change you are desiring. When we are by ourselves desiring big change, we can get stuck in overwhelm. When we feel overwhelmed, ALL action feels like crawling through thick mud. As your coach, I help you learn to take smaller, manageable steps toward bigger desires. I help you remember it’s just one, small and easy step at a time.
Coaches help you nurture the skill of confidence (Yes! Confidence is a skill you can hone!) When you start showing up with courage and honoring your small commitments, you build your capability and confidence in yourself.
Coaches help you thrive in your soul work because they create the space for you to sync up with confidence and consistency. When you feel confident, AND you start consistently showing up in the world with what it is you desire to offer, you become unstoppable.
Coaching also helps share efficient strategies that work in self-growth and business growth. I am always listening to the best podcasts, reading the most inspiring books, and listening to the most trusted resources in personal development and growth that there is. I also commit to coaching myself with some of the best coaches in the world! With my years of interest in self-help, personal growth, and transformation, I have gathered some of the most efficient strategies in connecting to your fullest, expanded self.
Coaches also help you start to believe in your value because they see you as your fullest self. Coaches are great at knowing what someone’s value and growth potential are and viewing them from that place. When you have someone constantly seeing you from that place, it’s easier to believe it yourself!
Coaches help you welcome more possibilities by helping you clean up your thoughts and feelings. When clients come to me in a state of panic, worry, or unsureness, I can help soothe them into a better feeling way by investigating what they are believing and getting to the heart of the truth. From there, relief is experienced and once my client feels relief, they can see the possibilities in front of them already! It feels like magic every time!
Of course, these are just a few of the favorite ways I believe coaching helps people, but if you have more to add, I’d love to hear from you!
I created a journaling course that helps you soothe your thoughts into alignment.
As always, trust yourself and your feelings as guidance back to your truth. You already have everything you need!
I believe the most important relationship to nurture is the one you have with yourself. If you found yourself here, it’s likely you do too. I created Aligned & Kind as a place to support you in continuously using your powerful intuitive guidance system to create the life you desire. You’ll transition away from the things you think you have to do, to deliberately choosing and creating the things you deeply desire to do, the things that brighten our world. My coaching packages are designed to help you align with your truest desires. If you're interested in learning more, book a call below to learn more about coaching with me.
