In this episode of the Pet Grooming Business Help and Support Podcast, Bill Betts sits down with Carl Armstrong, a life coach who helps people get more clarity and direction in both life and business.

Carl talks about his own journey – leaving his admin job to become a life coach because he wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. He explains what life coaching actually is (and what it isn’t), and why it can be so powerful for people who feel stuck or unsure of their next steps.

One of the key topics Carl talks about is understanding your values – the things that really matter to you. He explains that when your work or personal life doesn’t match those values, it can leave you feeling frustrated or unfulfilled. But when you start making choices based on what matters most, life can start to feel a lot more rewarding.

Carl also shares stories from his coaching work, including one where a client was able to rebuild her relationship with her family through honest conversations and emotional growth. He shows how life coaching isn’t about giving advice – it’s about helping people find the answers that are already inside them.

This episode is a great listen if you're feeling stuck, burned out, or just ready to explore new ideas. Carl reminds us that it’s never too late to reflect, re-focus, and find more joy in life.
