What Coaching Really Is (and Isn’t): A Q&A for Curious People
Maybe you’ve been reading along for a while now — nodding, recognising something in yourself, slowly starting to feel seen again.
And maybe, quietly, you’ve wondered…
Would coaching help me?
Is it for someone like me?
Do I even know what it really is?
We hear those questions a lot.
So here are our non-sales-speak answers (because there’s already too much hustle in this industry).
Q: Is coaching just life advice?
Not at all.
In fact, coaching isn’t advice-giving.
It’s not someone telling you what to do.
It’s not a checklist or a five-step plan or a quick fix.
Coaching is a conversation where you get to hear yourself more clearly.
It’s space.
It’s reflection.
It’s being asked the kinds of questions that help you untangle what’s really going on beneath the surface, in a way that feels safe, not exposing.
Q: But I’m not trying to “transform my life.” Would coaching still be useful?
Absolutely.
Coaching doesn’t have to be about big reinventions.
In fact, the most powerful work often starts in the smallest moments — when you notice what you’re tired of carrying, or what you’ve been quietly craving, or what part of you you’ve been ignoring.
You don’t need a grand plan.
You just need a willingness to come back into focus again.
Q: I’ve seen a lot of shiny coaching online. I’m not sure that’s for me.
Us too.
And this isn’t that.
Our coaching isn’t about perfection or even performance.
It’s about being human, and finally having a space where you don’t have to keep holding it all together.
There’s no hype here. No positive vibes only.
Just grounded, clear, thoughtful support for the real version of you — the one who’s doing her best, even when she’s unsure what that looks like anymore.
Q: Do I need a goal to bring to coaching?
No. You just need to bring yourself.
You don’t need a mission statement or a project plan.
Sometimes the goal is simply: to feel like yourself again.
To hear your own thoughts. To name your own needs. To soften.
That’s more than enough to begin.
Q: What even happens in a session? What do we actually do?
We talk. We pause. We ask better questions. We listen inward.
Sometimes there are tears. Sometimes laughter. Sometimes we sit in silence for a moment because something lands, and that alone is a shift.
We might name what you’re carrying.
We might explore what’s underneath the overwhelm.
We might simply ask: Where do you want to feel more like yourself again?
It’s not a script. It’s not therapy.
It’s a gentle, guided space for self-connection — at your pace, in your language.
Q: Who is this really for?
It’s for the woman who’s wondering what happened to her spark.
The one who feels emotionally full but strangely flat.
The one who wants to feel seen, not just by the world (that would be nice too), but by herself.
It’s for the woman who’s quietly tired of being the person everyone relies on… but doesn’t know where to put her own feelings.
It’s for you, if something in you has whispered:
I want more space. I want to feel more real. I want to come back to myself.
It’s for you if you have questions and you’re living in the space between.
It’s for you if you just need to press pause on life for an hour.
If this sounds familiar, we think you’ll find these sessions exactly what you need right now.
