The Life Changing Magic of Getting a Life Coach

I admit that I have scoffed at the concept of having a life coach. What kind of person needs a life coach?!?!

That changed when my friend through the internet Angela announced she was in the process of becoming certified as a life coach.

I’ve followed Angela’s blog This Mom Needs Chocolate for several years and admired her joy in momming.

When she said she was looking for clients to practice her coaching, I volunteered right away when I saw this description of her services:

Well-rested and vibrant? Cultivating the life I want to live? I was on board.

I started with a Discovery Session and then opted in to a 12-week journey. As Angela called me every week at our designated time, our chats became a high point of my week.

Now I can admit, sheepishly, that a me-kind-of-person needs a life coach. And probably a you-kind-of-person needs a life coach.

Angela was wonderful about listening and meeting me wherever I happened to be emotionally that week. She helped me sort through issues in my life and tackle changes in manageable bites. She was encouraging without being patronizing or judgmental. She offered suggestions and asked the questions I needed to answer to progress on my journey of motherhood and wifehood and personhood.

Each week she’d help me pinpoint a micro-change to make in my life. (I expected these changes to be big, painful changes. While it did take effort to incorporate new habits, it wasn’t ever painful.)

For example, together we honed in on self-care and what that needs to look like for me given my specific circumstances. (Read: not even being able to go to the bathroom without an audience.) Angela helped me discover how much creativity is a critical part of me feeling balanced and energized.

As a result of our coaching sessions, I regularly make time for something artsy-craftsy. Rather than that short-changing my family (which I feared), I discovered that it helps give me more patience. Who woulda thunk?!?! Not me. Not before I got a life coach.

I appreciated having a life coach to listen to me in an unbiased, objective way. I was grateful to have someone to hold me accountable when trying a new habit.

Maybe it sounds cheesy, but you deserve the gift of your best life. Angela might help you find it.

The first session is a get-to-know-you chat to see if what you’re looking for and what Angela can provide are a good fit. There’s no risk, because Angela isn’t a high-pressure salesperson. She’s just a wonderful woman who has had her life transformed through life coaching and is now on a mission to share that gift with others.

The beauty of this model of life coaching is that every journey will look completely different. Each person progresses on a path specific to their needs.
