Welcome to a very exclusive corner of chaos. Dinner’s about to burn, my toddler’s shouting “The poo is running out!” like she’s leading a disaster drill, and the dog—ever the detective—is nose-deep in the action. Meanwhile, my 5-month-old, who finally nodded off, wakes up screaming. I’m Peter Weller: husband, dad of two, and circus ringmaster. After burning out, I set out to get coached by the best—and take you with me. I’m no expert. I’m in the trenches with you. This show is for those of you who don’t get coaching yet.

    E019 When Your Inner Critic Takes Over with Julie Smith

    What happens when your inner critic takes over — even when you’re more than capable? A new project lands. Something you haven’t done before.You know you can handle it…and yet your whole system goes into overdrive. You prepare. And prepare. And prepare some more.You lose a bit of sleep. The pressure rises.The results are usually great — but they come at a cost. Not because you’re incapable.But because you don’t hear trust yourself — you hear your inner critic. In this episode of Coach Me If You Can, I’m joined by leadership coach and author Julie Smith, who literally wrote the book on this: Coach Yourself Confident. Together, we explore what’s really happening when confidence and capability don’t line up — and how the inner critic quietly pushes us past the sweet spot of enough preparation into stress and self-doubt. Julie coaches me live through my own “everything depends on this” pattern and shows: how to recognise when the inner critic has taken over why over-preparing can erode self-trust how to find the sweet spot of just enough preparation and how confidence grows when you learn to trust yourself from there This is a conversation about learning to coach yourself — especially when you’re capable, committed, and still doubting yourself. That’s why speaking to Julie was such a gift. About the guestJulie Smith is a leadership coach and the author of Coach Yourself Confident: Ditch the self-doubt tax, unlock humble confidence.🔗 Book & Julie’s work: https://www.talentsprout.co.uk/coach-yourself-confident More from Coach Me If You Can🔗 https://www.coachmeifyoucan.com📩 Sign up for the newsletter for new episodes and reflections💬 Know a guest you’d love to hear coached on the show?

    E18 The Two Lives You’re Living - And How Alcohol Decides Which One Wins

    Imagine two versions of you running in parallel.One wakes up foggy, tired, slightly behind the day, the version of you shaped by evening drinks that “aren’t a problem… but aren’t helping.”The other wakes up clear, energised, grounded, and fully alive, the version that’s possible when alcohol no longer calls the shots. In this episode, Peter sits down with Rich Casement, founder of Clean Break, to explore the role alcohol quietly plays in our energy, identity, and ability to show up as the person we want to be. Rich has spent years helping people rewire their relationship with alcohol, not from a place of shame or labels, but from clarity, awareness, and possibility. Together they unpack: In this conversation:• The “two lives” you can live — and how alcohol decides which one you wake up in• The haze, lethargy, and “going through the motions” many people mistake for normal• Why we still drink even when we know all the consequences• Alcohol’s impact on mornings, motivation, and parental guilt• The identity shift that happens when someone takes a “clean break”• Why moderation often fails (and why that’s not your fault)• What begins to happen after 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days alcohol-free• How to decide if alcohol is truly serving you• A powerful coaching exercise you can do at home to understand why you drink• The first signs that clarity is returning and what to do next Whether you drink occasionally, socially, daily, or are simply questioning your habits, this episode offers a compassionate, honest and deeply human look at the version of you waiting on the other side of alcohol.

    E016 Mindset: Screen time reset with Dr. Yannick van Hierden

    Your Mind vs. Your Screen — Coaching with Dr. Yannick Van Hierden What happens when your phone quietly steals four hours of your day? In this episode of Coach Me If You Can, I sit down with Dr. Yannick Van Hierden, a behavioral scientist and high-performance coach who turned his life around—from bottom of his class and stuck in self-destructive habits, to top of his PhD program and thriving in Australia. Together we dive into: Screen time reality check: Yannick walks me through my own data—63 pickups a day, nearly 60% on social & entertainment—and asks the only question that matters: is this how you want to spend your time? Fact or Fiction game: from “Thinking is addictive” to “Stillness is the absence of resistance,” Yannick challenges common beliefs about performance and clarity. Coaching session: we map out my vision for health and performance—from running habits and better sleep to re-framing what “peak performance” means beyond work. The digital reset challenge: why deleting just one app can reclaim 1–2 hours every single day. 🎙️ Billboard message: “Don’t believe everything you think.” 💡 Sponsor Note This episode is supported by InnerBuddies — helping you take charge of your gut health through simple at-home microbiome testing and personalized recommendations.

    E015 Parenting Is Not About Raising Happy Children with Anita Cleare

    Parenting isn’t about producing happy, perfect children - it’s about building a strong relationship with the child in front of you. In this episode of Coach Me If You Can, Peter Weller is joined by parenting expert Anita Cleare (postgraduate degree in Child Development, author, and founder of the Thinking Parenting blog). Together, they step into six real parenting case studies — two from the Weller household and four submitted anonymously by listeners through our survey: Toothbrushing Revolt (3, host household) — a nightly standoff with sealed lips and piercing screams. Lentil Soup Standoff (3, host household) — mozzarella wins, lentils lose, ice cream demands follow. Holiday Meltdown (6, listener household) — “I want to go home” on repeat during a dream trip to France. The Phone Glow (pre-teen, listener household) — when screens start to matter more than family. Mealtime Chaos (1.5 + 6, listener household) — siblings derail dinner until the TV saves the day. The Not Hearing Zone (7, listener household) — a child who only responds once parents yell. From tantrums to tech, Anita brings psychology, empathy, and strategy to the moments parents struggle with most. Along the way, she busts myths and reframes parenting’s toughest paradox: Parenting isn’t about controlling kids. It’s about managing ourselves in the storm. What you’ll learn in this episode: How to stay calm in the supermarket storm instead of panicking Why toddlers and teens both turn routines into power struggles How to set limits on phones without losing connection Why giving in to a tantrum once won’t ruin your authority The real goal of parenting — not happiness, but relationship Sponsored by InnerBuddiesYour parenting energy starts with your health.

    E014 Mindset: If Success Doesn’t Feel Like Success, It Isn’t with Ruta Stasiunaite

    Episode Description What if success didn’t feel like success? What if the life you’ve worked so hard to build still left you empty? In this episode of Coach Me If You Can, Ruta Stasiunaite — founder of Redefining Success, transformational coach, and modern mystic — joins Peter for a raw, live coaching session that flips achievement on its head. Ruta’s story is one of bold reinvention: she’s lived in 8 countries, spent 14 months in the Brazilian jungle exploring the depths of her soul, and walked away from a decade-long corporate career to build a purpose-driven business on her own terms. Today she helps leaders and visionaries redefine success from the inside out. Together, Ruta and Peter dive into: Why “if success doesn’t feel like success, it isn’t.” How childhood conditional love can turn you into your own harshest parent The gap between your perfect day and your real day — and how to close it The three jars method to balance past, present, and future self Why clarity doesn’t come before action — it comes because of it The small choices (running, cooking, joy) that rewire your definition of success This isn’t theory — it’s live coaching. At times uncomfortable, at times liberating, but always real. If you’ve ever wondered whether your definition of success is truly yours, this episode will make you stop, question, and redefine. 👉 Find Ruta here: linkedin.com/in/ruta-stasiunaite 📧 Contact Ruta: stasiunaite.ruta@gmail.com This episode is sponsored by InnerBuddies — specialists in microbiome analysis who translate your results into personalized nutrition advice.

    E013 Mindset: You Don’t Wait for Confidence - You Build It. With Kira Matthews

    What’s really holding you back — a lack of clarity, or the story you’re telling yourself about what’s possible? In this episode of Coach Me If You Can, Peter sits down with confidence and manifestation coach Kira Matthews for a coaching session that explores the fears, patterns, and beliefs that quietly limit our potential. From money mindset and self-worth, to building confidence through small, brave actions, Kira challenges Peter to spot the moments where fear is disguised as confusion — and to reframe them into decisions that move life forward. It’s a conversation about more than confidence — it’s about seeing yourself clearly enough to start. 🎧 “Sometimes clarity isn’t missing — it’s just the clarity we’re scared to accept.” Find Kira here: https://www.kiramatthews.com/ Find Peter here: www.coachmeifyoucan.show Complete the listener survey and help the show grow: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAN3aeadUQ0EwRDBFOEhZSlFMNVgzODhUQVhSUTNSRC4u Submit a question for next week’s guest Parenting expert Anita Cleare: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-cleare-b8a15465/ Question form: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAN3aeadUN0MwV1dYU1dQSlY4N1VEM1dCVjVQT0cxOC4u
