In this episode of The Coaching Book Club Podcast, Christy and Ken dive into Wellness by Nathan Hill — a sweeping work of literary fiction and an Oprah Book Club pick from 2023. While it may not be a traditional coaching resource, Wellness offers rich insights into human behavior, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves — all essential territory for coaches.

Tune in to explore:

• How fiction can reveal truths about the coaching relationship.
• Why every client’s version of reality is a shifting story.
• The power of curiosity, presence, and humility in coaching.
• What “the meaning effect” teaches us about value and transformation.

This episode invites you to rethink how we show up for our clients and ourselves — with more compassion, less certainty, and a deeper trust in the process.

Whether you're heading on vacation or staying close to home, Wellness is the big, juicy summer read you didn’t know your coaching practice needed.
