    274. How I Coach Myself (& When I Don't)
    Jan 27 2026

    Self-coaching is one of the most talked-about tools in the coaching industry, but it's also one of the most misunderstood. For a lot of coaches, it quietly turns into something that feels heavy, performative, or even punishing instead of supportive.

    In this episode, I walk you through how I actually coach myself and just as importantly, when I don't. If self-coaching has ever felt confusing, ineffective, or exhausting, this episode will help you rethink what it's for and find ways to approach it that actually feel supportive and personal to you.

    272. Why You Don't Need to Have It All Together to Show Up for Your Clients
    Jan 13 2026

    Have you ever looked around and thought everyone else has it together except you? In this episode, I'm sharing a personal moment that reminded me what actually creates value in coaching. If you've ever questioned whether you're doing enough or worried that your own struggles disqualify you from helping others, this episode will shift how you think about your role as a coach and show you why you don't have to have it all together to offer something deeply meaningful.
