Episode 217: The hardest part of coaching


Listen Later

This is might be the most personal, vulnerable episode I've ever recorded. I went back and forth about whether to even share it, but here we are. 

Today I’m getting really candid on the biggest struggles I face in my coaching business—what makes it feel like shouting into the void, why social media isn’t the answer, and the challenge of doing work that doesn’t fit the flashy, quick-fix narrative.

I love what I do. I believe in it with every fiber of my being. But here’s the reality—my work isn’t flashy. It’s not about dramatic before and afters or quick-fix solutions. It’s about deep, lasting change, and that’s a much harder sell in a world obsessed with instant results.

In this episode, I open up about:

🔹 The exhausting rat race of social media and why I’m rethinking how I show up

🔹 The journal entry that stopped me in my tracks (yep, I’m reading straight from my journal)

🔹 Why I sometimes feel like my job is “made up” (and the reframe that shifted everything)


And I’m asking for your help—just one small thing that could make a massive impact.

Listen in and, if this episode resonates, I would be so grateful if you shared The Diet Diaries with ONE person who would find it helpful.
