What is a Life Coach?

A Life Coach is a professional who helps people access greater fulfillment and meaning in their lives.  Life Coaches work with clients on both specific life goals like getting a new job, opening a business, buying a house, losing weight, improving a relationship, etc- and also on less defined goals like cultivating more spirituality, increasing self-love or self-trust, developing intimacy and vulnerability, improving self-confidence & courage, etc.
​
Very Well Mind states it beautifully here: "Many people seek out life coaches for guidance in navigating a significant life change, such as taking on a new career. In plenty of cases, however, people turn to life coaches simply for help in building a happier, more meaningful life."


Here are just a few of the indicators that working with a life coach could be helpful for you:
  • You feel disconnected from your purpose
  • You notice repeating negative patterns in your life, work, or relationships
  • Struggle to make a change/complete a goal
  • High levels of stress/anxiety
  • Communication breakdowns in your relationships
  • Irritability
  • Lack of fulfillment (in yourself, your work, relationships, or social life)
  • Lack of self-care
  • Burn-out
  • Inability to break bad habits
  • Sense of blocked creativity
  • Feelings of overwhelm
  • Lack of clarity (about a choice that needs to be made/life direction, etc)

Life Coaching is primarily wild curiosity & the art of investigation. 
  • A Life Coach is trained in being an excellent active listener so that they can help you identify what you are saying behind the words that are being spoken.  This deepens your understanding of yourself and cultivates a relationship between you and your inner voice. 
  • Life Coaches are trained to ask open-ended questions that are designed to unlock your clarity, inner-knowing, and unique authentic expression of self. 
  • Life Coaches not only hold you accountable to yourself, but they help you study the "why" behind the situations where you tell yourself you are going to do something & don't do it.  Identifying the seed of inaction and deepening the investigation at that point is how a lasting shift is made. 
  • Life Coaches help you see things from a different point of view, expand "your story" about yourself, your life, and the way the world works - so that you are in charge of your thoughts and feelings (vs. your thoughts and feelings being in charge of YOU). 
  • Life Coaches lead you to heal past wounds and traumas so that you can experience more joy and fullness in your life.
  • A Life Coach will celebrate you - in all your weird wonderfulness.  During each session, your coach will celebrate your accomplishments, your vulnerability, and your courage.  Your coach will help you grow a practice of celebration in your daily life.  
  • A Life Coach is an authority on acceptance - accepting you SO fully that you can unlock parts of yourself that have previously remained in the shadows.  This will allow you to gather to yourself all the pieces of YOU, so that you can stand so firmly in who you are - that even the greatest challenges of life can not shake you.
