What happens when the coach becomes the one who needs help?

In this deeply honest solo episode, Lisa Quait opens up about a recent burnout she didn’t see coming - until it floored her.

It started with a client’s overwhelm… and ended with her own crash. IBS flare-ups, emotional exhaustion, and missed family moments were just the surface.

Lisa shares the physical and emotional signs she ignored, how her coach (and her husband) helped her stop, and why listening to your triggers might just save you.

This is your permission to pause, reflect, and ask: What does overwhelm really feel like for me? Am I listening to what my body’s trying to say?

🌟 A message from Lisa:

I’ve faced many challenges in life, experiencing love and laughter, to heartache and perseverance. Each experience has shaped me, teaching resilience, growth and compassion for others.

Here’s a quick look at my journey:

- My parents divorced when I was 2.

- I won a drama school scholarship at 18, pursuing my dream of working in TV.

- I travelled solo through Southeast Asia and Australia, facing a near-death experience along the way!

- I adapted to life as a single parent after my beautiful daughter’s birth in 2006 and built a career in Commercial Real Estate.

- I reconnected with a childhood friend who had lost his first wife. In 2011 we married and became a blended family and I became a step parent to my 2 eldest children whom I love dearly.

- I helped expand my brother’s wedding business to Mallorca and began bodybuilding, competing in 2016 and 2017.

- I now work as a Director in the Flexible Office industry and am building my coaching practice and podcast.

- My next goal is to move to Spain and create a life by the sea!

💫 I’ve learned that life is full of opportunities if you just look up and reach for them.

Let me help you discover yours ❤️
