Coaches are of course human like everyone else. This means that they experience life related ‘issues’ like all other people - divorce, grief, losing their sense of self, financial stress and mental health concerns. Just because someone is a life coach does not somehow make them immune to such things - and neither does it for any other space holder too such as a doctor or therapist. Our guest on the show today is the amazing Di Braybrooke. Di has been coaching mums who have anxiety for more than a decade - and she also has anxiety herself. This is an amazing conversation for anyone who thinks having a mental health diagnosis precludes them from being a coach and the power of being open and releasing shame about our mental health needs.

Starting a business as a life coach can feel and even be quite overwhelming. We get it! And it’s understandable with such a big undertaking that any new and emerging coach may make some ‘mistakes’ along the way - that hopefully are lessons in disguise! Today on the Coaches Couch we share the top five most prominent mistakes we see emerging coaches make so you can be forewarned or change course now for the better!

It’s a joy for us to bring you as our latest Success Story - Enda Gilbert - who is also our current Beautiful You Coaching Academy Emerging Coach of the Year. Enda has a thriving coaching business within the niche of parental burnout and support and she came to coaching never having done it before. You will learn from this interview Enda’s journey with burnout, her decision to train to become a coach, how important she feels Black women are to the coaching industry and her ‘gold’ thoughts on the power of collaboration for coaching business success.
