    67. Why Does Everyone Else Seem to Have It Figured Out... Except Me?

    Have you ever looked around and wondered why everyone else seems to know exactly where they're going while you're still trying to work it all out? Whether it's your career, relationships, business or simply life itself, it's easy to believe everyone else has a perfect plan. But what if having everything figured out isn't actually the goal? In this episode, Claudia explores why we put so much pressure on ourselves to have all the answers and how that pressure can stop us from embracing opportunities we never expected. Sharing stories from her travels around Australia and her own career journey, she reflects on the power of having a clear direction without needing every step mapped out. Through gentle coaching questions and personal insights, you'll be invited to redefine what success means to you, let go of comparison and discover how flexibility can create space for growth, possibility and unexpected adventures. In this episode, we explore: Why we feel pressured to have life all figured outThe difference between having a destination and having every detail plannedWhat travelling around Australia taught me about embracing uncertaintyWhy certainty isn't always the same as safetyHow comparing yourself to others keeps you feeling behindWhy your goals and definition of success are allowed to change over timeThe opportunities that come from staying open to possibilityLearning to enjoy the journey instead of only focusing on the destinationA question to reflect on What does "having it all figured out" really mean to you... and what might become possible if you loosened the reins just a little?

    66. I Know What I Need to Do... So What's Getting in the Way?

    Ever found yourself thinking, "I know what I need to do... so why am I not doing it?" Whether it's getting to bed earlier, spending less time scrolling, exercising more, eating differently or finally taking the first step towards something you've been putting off, knowing what to do and actually doing it are often two very different things. In this episode, Claudia explores why change can feel so difficult, what often sits beneath procrastination and perfectionism, and why the real barrier usually isn't a lack of knowledge. Through personal stories, practical examples and coaching reflections, you'll be invited to get curious about what's really keeping you stuck and how you can begin moving forward with more compassion and less pressure. In this episode, we explore:  Why knowing what to do isn't always enough  The gap between knowledge and action  How habits are designed to keep us comfortable  Why perfectionism can stop us before we even begin  The assumptions we make about change  Building sustainable habits through small, realistic steps  Why progress matters more than perfection  Celebrating non scale wins and redefining success  Learning to enjoy the process rather than chasing the outcome A question to reflect on: What's one thing you already know you want to do... and what's really getting in the way? If this episode resonated... If you're ready to explore your own thoughts, patterns and possibilities with support, you'll find all the ways to work with me in the show notes or at ClaudiaSabinaWellness.com.

In this episode, we explore:  What's really keeping you stuck  Why perfectionism can hold you back  The stories we've inherited about security and success  How your lived experience becomes your greatest strength  The shift from self doubt to self belief  Why your goals need to feel exciting, not just practical Connect with Jade Instagram Website Facebook If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway.

    63: Reflecting on a coaching session: When space to think changes everything

    Episode 63: Reflecting on a Coaching Session: When Space to Think Changes Everything What if the problem you're trying to solve isn't actually the real problem? In this episode, I'm reflecting on the first live coaching session I've shared on the podcast (episode 62). I'll be honest, it felt incredibly vulnerable to let listeners see the inner workings of my coaching. But it also reinforced something I believe deeply: real change doesn't usually come from more advice. It comes from having the space to slow down, reflect and see yourself differently. We explore how one client came into coaching believing she simply needed better time management, only to discover that what was really keeping her stuck was guilt, pressure, perfectionism and the belief that she always had to be productive. Along the way, I also share my own experience of how coaching helped me find hope after leaving an abusive marriage, and why that small shift in perspective became the beginning of rebuilding my life. In this episode, we explore: Why the problem we think we have isn't always the real problemThe difference between solving problems and understanding ourselvesWhy self compassion creates more change than self criticismHow coaching helps you uncover the beliefs that keep you stuckWhy slowing down and creating space to think can completely change your perspectiveThe power of awareness in breaking old patternsWhy hope often begins with seeing that another way is possibleIf this episode resonated with you and you'd like your own dedicated space to think, reflect and explore what's really going on beneath the surface, I'd love to support you. Book a free 30 minute discovery call and let's explore whether coaching feels like the right next step for you. Until next time, remember: sometimes the biggest changes don't begin with finding the answer. They begin by asking a different question.

    62. INSIDE COACHING SPECIAL: Behind The Breakthrough: A Real Coaching Session on Burnout, Guilt & Balance

    This episode opens a new series of real coaching conversations, where you are invited into an unfiltered coaching session with Katie as she navigates burnout, identity, guilt, and the pressure of balancing work, motherhood and personal needs. Rather than theory or advice, this is a live coaching conversation that explores what happens when someone is given space to slow down, reflect, and question the patterns that keep them stuck in over-functioning and self-criticism. Together, we explore: The invisible mental load carried alongside work and parenting Why rest often triggers guilt instead of recovery The link between productivity, worth, and self pressure Decision fatigue and the exhaustion of constant choice making How small structural shifts can create more ease and clarity What changes when rest is reframed as necessary rather than earned You will hear how insights unfold in real time and how awareness, not perfection, becomes the starting point for change. This episode is part of a series of genuine coaching sessions designed to give you a direct experience of what coaching can actually feel like.

    61. Dropping the Labels: The Moment Everything Finally Made Sense

    In this episode, I am sharing a realisation that has been building inside me for years. A moment where everything finally clicked into place and the weight I had been carrying made sense. For so long, I tried to fit myself into labels and boxes that other people told me I needed. I was encouraged to narrow myself, define myself, choose one type of person to support. But every time I tried, it felt wrong. It felt restrictive. It felt like I was excluding people I knew I could help. After 23 years in the NHS, I have never believed in gatekeeping care. I have never believed in telling someone they do not qualify for support because they do not fit a category. And yet, without meaning to, that is exactly what I was doing by trying to label myself. In this episode I explore: • why labels and boxes never aligned with my values • how my lived experience, nursing background and trauma‑informed approach naturally lead to whole‑human coaching • why humans are multifaceted and deserve support that honours all of them • how guilt, rest and self‑prioritisation connect to this bigger conversation • the moment I realised I was allowed to coach in a way that feels true to me • why you do not need to fit a label to get support This is an episode about inclusion, compassion and coming home to your true north. It is about giving yourself permission to be a whole human, not a category. If this resonates, you are welcome to book a free 30 minute call and explore how coaching could support you.

    60. Why You Focus on What Went Wrong: Reclaiming Confidence Through Reflection

    We often think reflection is something we only do when things go wrong. A difficult conversation. A mistake. A missed opportunity. Something we'd rather not repeat. But what if reflection could also help you recognise what's going right? In this episode, Claudia explores why our brains naturally focus on the negative, how that can quietly erode our confidence over time, and why intentionally reflecting on your successes is just as important as learning from your challenges. Drawing on experiences from nursing, coaching, and everyday life, Claudia shares practical ways to build a healthier reflection habit, strengthen your self belief, and stop allowing one difficult moment to overshadow everything you've done well. In This Episode We Explore:  Why reflection shouldn't only happen after mistakes  How negativity bias influences the way we see ourselves  The importance of celebrating progress, effort and growth  Using reflection to build confidence and resilience  How keeping a reflective journal can support learning and development  Why recording your wins matters on difficult days  The role of your Reticular Activating System (RAS) in helping you notice opportunities  Simple reflective questions you can use at the end of each day A Simple Reflection Exercise Take five minutes at the end of your day and ask yourself: What went well today?What did I learn?What would I do differently next time?What am I proud of?What are five positive things that happened today, no matter how small?Remember, growth doesn't only come from analysing what went wrong. It also comes from recognising what is already working and building on it.
