366: Is Your Client Lonely? with Meg Rentschler, MSW, PCC
As 2023 winds down, many people are dealing with much more than shopping and planning holiday celebrations. The struggles with depression, anxiety, and loneliness intensify during this time, and these struggles are a real obstacle for many people. The US Surgeon General recently spoke about a study on the loneliness epidemic here in the US and how this pressing issue affects millions of people across the globe. The study revealed that 33% of the world’s population is lonely!
How can the coaching partnership help turn the tides on loneliness? Let’s talk about what loneliness looks like and how we, as coaches, can use our conversations and relationships to bring awareness and help counter this epidemic. Join us!
Show Highlights:
- Factors that have led to an increase in the patterns of loneliness: the COVID-19 pandemic, modern technology, loss of connection and human interactions, rushed lifestyles, remote work, conveniences, etc.
- Why Dr. Vivek Murthy, the US Surgeon General, recently spoke of loneliness as “so much more than a bad feeling”
- The costs of loneliness as a public health issue
- How loneliness might affect the coach/client relationship
- How a coach can detect loneliness in a client, normalize it, and increase connection opportunities
- The facts: People crave connection and are wired for community; everyone wants to be seen and heard.
- What coaches and leaders can do to help connect others and be the bridge to change the loneliness gap

Join Mentoring Program!
If you’re a coach who wants to grow—not just check a box—this is for you.
I’m enrolling coaches now for my Spring Mentoring Program. Some are here for credentialing hours. Others are here because they want to become the coach their clients rave about.
Inside the program, we work on your actual coaching.
You’ll hear yourself differently.
Learn from other coaches.
Develop more presence.
And ask questions that create real transformation.
If you’re ready to deepen your skills and your impact, I’d love to support you.

Mentor Program
If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.
It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show. That’s https://starcoachshow.com/mentor/ to grab your spot or to learn more. I'd love to work with you. Now, let's get into today's show.
