Client Stories & Reflections
Below are excerpts drawn from the initial requests and feedback of people I’ve worked with.
I’m sharing them in the hope that you may recognize parts of your own experience — and find language for what feels difficult to articulate.
C.B., 29 - Nurse, UK
"I want to feel more clear about my work and more settled in my life overall.
Right now I’m working as a nurse, but I know this isn’t something I want to do much longer..."
Female, 35 - HR, Seattle
"I'm trying to make sense of why I often put others first, even when I see it's not good for me. It's tough for me to hold the line when I care, and it's put me in tough spots at work. Don't ask me about my dating life..."
Lisa B, 35, IT Team Leader, Ohio
"...to command more authority with my presence and communication..."
Female, 38 - Homemaker with a Law Degree, Expat
"I've spent the last 14 years as a stay at home mom and now I feel I need more. We also could use more income but mainly I feel I need a fresh me."
Paul H, 41 - Project Manager, Luxembourg
"...redefine my roles and objectives...clarify/prioritize improvement plan."
Jennifer, 28 - Business Owner, California
"I struggle to say no or speak up for what I need. It’s hurt me at work. I doubt myself and hold back a lot. I used to feel like things were ok, but now I feel stuck, lost, and unhappy. I want clarity in everything and to feel like myself again, without the anxiety and self-destructive patterns.
I’m looking for a female coach. Someone direct, grounded, and experienced. I need someone strong and clear, who can help me focus on moving forward and growing.
Sam, 49 - runs Advertising Agency, Florida
"I’ve hit a point where doing everything alone isn’t working anymore. I need support and someone to help keep me on track until I can stick to a plan by myself. I want to follow through better, week by week, with someone there to help me when I find excuses again.
I’m looking for help staying on top of:
Social goals (keeping in touch, dating, meeting quality people)
Financial and investing goals
Growing my business
Managing time better
Making time for the things I love (travel, outdoor stuff, crafts, etc.)
I also want to stop overthinking and just start showing for real, more confident, more open, in how I live and connect with others."
Claire N., 37 - Front Desk Manager, Sheffield, UK
"Hi, I tend to empathize too much, and it often puts me in difficult situations—both at work and in relationships. I’ve noticed I have a hard time putting my needs first, and I’d like help understanding my behavior and why is it so hard for me to do that.
Serhyi H., 33 - Department Manager, Canada
"I’m 33 and have 9+ years in air cargo, leading a small team. I often doubt myself at work due to mostly negative feedback from one of my old bosses, which makes it hard to show my strengths in interviews. I feel stuck and unsure if I should improve my tech skills or focus more on people and leadership skills to grow."
Beatrice, 41 - Web Design Business Owner, expat, Cadiz
"I’m looking for support with both personal and work goals. I’d love a clear process to reflect and build better habits, plus some reading or tools that fit what I’m working on.
I need a space to sort through my thoughts and figure out what is priority right now. As a mom of two and the main earner's hard to see anything else.
One challenge I’m facing is running a business with a partner who is not very helpful. I don’t want that to take over the coaching, but I do need help figuring out how to keep things steady when I count on her.
I also want to grow professionally but feel stuck. I’m not sure if I should focus on improving my tech skills or grow more on the leadership and people side."
Puja K, 34 - PhD, Unemployed, Belgium
"I’m trying see where I shine, what kind of role is best for me, and where I could grow the most over time. I’d like to work with a global organization, either in the public sector or with a company based in the US or UK. I want to become the best at what I do.
I studied engineering at a good university and have around six years in technology and product work. I recently joined a very young startup, but I didn't get along with the founder so I left. I think some of it was me....Now I’m in a bad transition, unsure of what direction to take next and I am worried.
James L., 61 - Coaching Business Owner, Canada
"I have a grief coaching business, but sometimes I feel lost or unsure about the best way forward. I also struggle with self-doubt and being too hard on myself. I'm 61 and spent most of my life in manufacturing, mostly in operations. After losing a few family members in 2021, I decided to step away and follow a new direction in life.
Martina, 62 - Senior Nurse, Netherlands
"I'm 62 and dealing with a new boss who doesn’t know how to lead or talk to people. I keep trying to stay hopeful and positive, but something always happens. The micromanaging and confusion are draining and it hurts to see that my experience and opinions don't matter."
Claudette, 34 - Real Estate Agent, Georgia, USA
"I’ve been in real estate sales and marketing for 8 years, but I’ve always struggled to speak with confidence. I’m starting my own business soon, and I want to feel more sure of myself when talking about my work and ideas so that I can convince people of my value."
Alex S, 32 - Team Leader, Romania
"I swear I need more than 24h in a day. I don't know where it goes. Maybe it's me, maybe I am not efficient anymore, maybe I don't know how to arrange my time. It's non stop every day, and my lists are always full. Now I take work at home and I feel that I am not being fair to my kid. And I also feel my health is going down. I go out less, I started to put on some kilos and I just don't see a solution..."
Frank, 41 - Tech Lead, Switzerland
"I want to be the best there is with people. I am ok, no major issues, but I think I was also lucky so far and I went by the ear. I don't like how it feels anymore, especially with these new kids coming in, so sharp and opinionated. I want to learn to be a leader. I have some ideas about strategies and techniques, I've done some reading. But I want to talk with someone informed about these things. I feel I am also giving in too much sometimes because I am unsure and I don't want to be the bad guy. I want to be sure of myself and stop guessing or improvising when it comes to people.
"I've worked very hard to get where I am and I am very good at my job. I don't mean to brag but it's the truth. But I never thought it would be so hard at this point. I feel like a nobody...I need to repeat myself all the time to my guys, I just can't find solid ground with them even though I know exactly how to complete our projects. Every day it's a struggle, I almost want to just do everything myself!"
Brent, Team Leader
