In this episode of Girl Science, we’re sharing the six biggest lessons we wish we knew when we first started coaching—the things that would’ve saved us time, stress, and a whole lot of overthinking.

We talk about why you’re not your client’s savior, how comparison to other coaches can quietly steal your confidence, and why constantly changing your plan does more harm than good. We dive into the importance of keeping your approach simple, clearly telling your clients what to do while trusting them to figure out the how, and creating a coaching environment built on respect—not fear.

Most importantly, we remind you why authenticity matters. You don’t need to coach like everyone else, follow every trend, or mold yourself into someone you’re not. The best coaches lead with clarity, consistency, and confidence in who they are.

If you’re a coach who wants to grow, lead better, and stay grounded in your own values—this episode is for you.
