What if all that thinking, planning and preparing for your coaching practice, is actually what's keeping you from creating it?

In this episode, we're exploring one of the most fascinating aspects of the psychology of behavioural change: the preparation stage. It's where all our lovely planning, learning and researching can become a really sophisticated way of keeping us stuck.

We'll explore how we can create the conditions to do the things that really matter to us.

At the heart of this ep is what it means to back yourself when you don't have any evidence yet, whether it's your business or your body.

Sometimes we need to borrow belief from someone else, which is why having a coach is often so bloody life-changing.

If you've ever said to yourself: “I’m just not that kind of person” listen in!

Becasue me! I HAVE! I have never been a gym person. Never understood how to properly take care of my body (without falling into some weird restriction/ permission cycle). Never understood that exercise could actually be fun, never mind something I would look forward to.

But here we are. And the woman I have to thank is my coach, Sarah Knight.

Sarah is a strength and transformation coach whose work has literally changed my life. She is an aces Macunian with the biggest brain and heart and I am so glad she was up for this chat.

Meet Sarah: @sarahk_coaching

Sarah Knight: a Strength & Transformation coach for women over 30 💪 who are looking to create a transformation not just in their physique or weight, but to transform their relationship with exercise, nutrition, their inner voice and themselves!

What happens when you pour your heart, energy and hopes into something, and the results fall well short of what you wanted? I recently launched the Self-belief Coaching Academy hoping to fill 12 places and generate £80k. This did NOT happen.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what actually happened: the marketing that didn't quite work, the unexpected life stuff, the disappointment, and the lessons I'm taking into my next chapter. And why, despite missing my target by a mile, I'm genuinely celebrating. Because running a coaching business is hard, things don't always go to plan, and I think it's time we stopped making disappointing results mean we've failed.
