    Why am I unhappy when I have a good life? (Live Life Coaching Session)

    What if the problem isn’t that you lack clarity… but that you don’t trust yourself? In this live coaching session, we explore the experience of feeling stuck in the “messy middle”—busy, doing a lot, but somehow feeling like nothing truly matters or moves forward. On the surface, it sounds like a lack of vision. But as the conversation unfolds, something deeper emerges: a persistent inner voice filled with doubt, judgment, and shame that questions every decision and overrides self-trust. We look at how this “boardroom voice” develops, why it becomes so loud, and how it quietly shapes your life from big decisions down to small everyday moments. Through a simple but powerful story, we uncover how one moment of “getting it wrong” can reinforce the belief that you can’t trust yourself. This episode also explores the emotional patterns behind that constant inner tension and the need to avoid discomfort, the fear of making the wrong choice, and even the subtle resistance to joy. Because the truth is: You don’t need a perfect vision to move forward. You need to rebuild trust with yourself. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: • Why feeling “stuck” isn’t actually about lacking direction • How your inner critical voice shapes your decisions • The connection between self-trust and clarity • Why avoiding discomfort keeps you in cycles of doubt • How perfectionism blocks growth (even in things you love) • Why joy can feel unsafe and how that affects your life • How to create more openness by allowing discomfort instead of resisting it RESOURCES: Free Guide: Growth Without Burnout: https://ellenbroencoaching.kit.com/b51104bb4d CEO Capacity Creator: https://ellenbroencoaching.kit.com/ceocapacitycreator

    Why won’t people hire me? (Live Life Coaching Session)

    Why do clients say they’re a “yes”… but still don’t move forward? In this live coaching conversation, we unpack a frustrating pattern many coaches experience like getting verbal yeses, only for clients to delay, cancel follow-ups, or ultimately say “not right now.” At first glance, it looks like a sales or pricing issue. But underneath, it reveals something deeper: a shift in confidence, discomfort around money conversations, and an internal hesitation to fully lead. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that this isn’t just about clients—it’s about the coach’s own relationship with money, self-trust, and emotional safety. Fear of being intrusive, fear of questioning someone’s finances, and deeper layers of shame and guilt begin to surface. This episode explores what happens when you stop avoiding those moments and start leaning into them with honesty, compassion, and leadership. Because the real breakthrough isn’t in better closing techniques. It’s in what you’re willing to face within yourself. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: • Why clients say “yes” but still don’t commit • How losing confidence shifts the entire sales conversation • The hidden fear behind talking about money with clients • Why avoiding discomfort leads to missed opportunities for transformation • How your relationship with money affects your ability to lead • The role of shame, guilt, and self-forgiveness in growth • Why true leadership requires staying in the conversation—even when it’s uncomfortable RESOURCES: Free Guide: Growth Without Burnout: https://ellenbroencoaching.kit.com/b51104bb4d CEO Capacity Creator: https://ellenbroencoaching.kit.com/ceocapacitycreator

    What’s it *really* like to work with a life coach? (LIVE LIFE COACHING SESSIONS)

    I am pulling back the curtain on my own coaching with clients. This conversation was a great example of something an AI chat bot would never spot — when a client is operating mostly from their head and not connecting to their heart, or their deeper motivations behind their decisions. A bot could have asked her why does she want to raise her rates, but a coach could see that this client was trying to think her way into worthiness rather than lead from her inner belief and heart — and you could really see her drop in when she spoke about why she encourages her clients to raise their rates, and then her awareness solidifies when she realizes she’s been avoiding feeling what’s there for her, namely the fears and what she made them mean (what will people think? What if I’m actually selfish?), and inviting that feeling of fear instead as a part of the ride. Ultimately the value I see for all of us in this conversation is the very normal but essential challenge of walking our talk - of doing things that scare us because they not only enrich our own experience, but because it will be a source of deeper leadership and modeling her own principles for her clients. And the nuance here is not just to do things that scare us for the sake of the adrenaline rush, but because they are rooted in our values and invite us to lead from a truth in our heart. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why surface-level problems are often rooted in deeper emotional patternsHow shame and self-doubt can quietly shape your decisionsThe role of self-trust in creating clarity and confidenceWhy avoiding discomfort keeps you stuck—and how to move through itThe difference between intellectualizing change vs. truly embodying itHow to reconnect with your values and lead from a place of authenticity 👇 RESOURCES Free Guide: Growth Without Burnout: https://ellenbroencoaching.kit.com/b51104bb4d CEO Capacity Creator: https://ellenbroencoaching.kit.com/ceocapacitycreator I’m curious to hear what you noticed from this conversation.

    Release Stress Stored in the Body (Body-based Healing for Overthinkers)

    How much stress are you carrying… that your body hasn’t had a chance to release? This guided somatic session is designed to help you gently move stored tension, anxiety, and emotional buildup out of the body without forcing, overthinking, or pushing yourself.
