If you've been googling how much a life coach costs, I'm so glad you're here. I looked at publicly listed midlife coaching prices in 2026, and they run from $55 for a single session to more than $11,000 for six months of private coaching. In this episode we talk about what that range actually pays for.

I once spent a lot of money on a high-ticket business coach, and it went so badly that I seriously considered giving up on coaching altogether. A big part of it was that I had no idea what questions to ask before I signed up, which I think is far more common than most of us admit.

We get into whether coaching is worth the money, how a coach is different from a good friend and from therapy, the questions I wish I'd asked before hiring a coach (and how I'd answer each one myself), and the red flags I'd watch for, starting with pressure.

ABOUT RACHEL
I'm Rachel Cline, a life coach and yoga teacher. I work with the woman who did everything right, checked every box, and built a life that looks good from the outside but can't quite find herself in it anymore. I help you get off the hamster wheel and come home to yourself, so you can hear your own voice again, trust it, and feel whole, not someday, but now.

If anxiety has started to feel like your new normal and the things that used to help aren't touching it anymore, this guided EFT tapping practice helps you calm midlife anxiety and come back to your body in about 15 minutes.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) tapping is a tool I've kept in my back pocket for years, and lately I've been reaching for it a lot more. I'll walk you through each tapping point, and then we'll tap through three rounds together: naming what you feel, honoring why it's here, and coming home to your body. We'll close with a few minutes of mindful breathing to help your nervous system settle.

If you're listening in the car, just listen along for today and come back to tap with me when you're parked or at home. You can repeat the words after me or change them to fit what you're going through. There's no way to do this wrong.

Tapping is a supportive practice and doesn't replace medical or mental health care. If your anxiety is new, getting worse, or affecting your sleep or health, please talk with your doctor.

Wondering if you need a life coach? These are the 7 signs I see most often in midlife women who feel like they've lost themselves, and what coaching actually looks like when you're ready.

So many of the women I work with are capable, confident, and have built a good life, and then something shifts and they don't feel like themselves anymore. Maybe a relationship ended, or you outgrew a role you've held for years, or a dream you carried for a long time doesn't fit anymore. Maybe you're standing at a crossroads, or grieving something nobody else seems to notice.

In this episode I walk through the 7 signs it might be time to work with a life coach during a midlife transition, then answer the questions I hear most often from women who are curious about coaching but not sure it's for them.

The 7 signs:
1. A relationship has ended and you're figuring out who you are now
2. You've outgrown a role you've held for years
3. Success came and you're struggling to accept it
4. You've outgrown a dream you used to hold onto
5. A new decade has you taking inventory of your life
6. You're standing at a crossroads and can't hear which way to go
7. You're moving through grief and don't feel like yourself
