174. Using Coaching as a Weapon Instead of a Tool – How to Avoid the Trap


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you're using coaching tools in a way that actually makes things harder? Many of us, myself included, can fall into the trap of using coaching methods or personal growth strategies with the wrong mindset, turning them into sources of stress and pressure instead of empowerment. In this episode, I dive deep into how life coaching tools can sometimes become a weapon when misused—leading to feelings of failure, frustration, and burnout. Just like a hammer can be a powerful tool or a destructive weapon depending on how it’s used, the same goes for the coaching tools we implement in our lives.

In this episode, I’m going to share why you might be inadvertently sabotaging your own success with coaching tools and how to shift your perspective. I also share personal stories and real-life examples, including a client story about body image, weight loss, and the pressure we place on ourselves. By examining how pressure impacts our mindset and behavior, I’ll show you how to free yourself from unhealthy expectations and create space for true self-compassion. Whether you're struggling with goals, weight loss, or just feeling stuck, this episode will give you actionable insights to shift your approach.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • How to avoid using life coaching tools as a weapon and instead use them as empowering tools for growth.
  • The importance of differentiating between needs and wants, and why understanding this can relieve unnecessary pressure.
  • How to practice self-compassion and take the pressure off, so you can achieve your goals with a healthier mindset.
