Who Needs a Life Coach?

Ever feel stuck or like you just need someone to talk to? Do you have dreams and goals but lack the motivation or accountability to bring them to fruition? Struggling with overcoming a break-up or staying stuck in a relationship that isn't healthy? We think you would be surprised to know that most people can benefit from a life coach at some point. Could this be you? We’ve highlighted the most common reasons clients reach out to us and the ways in which we help and support them. Perhaps the very thing you’ve been wanting help with is right in our wheelhouse at Ember!

Someone who just needs to talk 

“I just need someone to talk to”, this is by far the most common message from clients who request life coaching. We hear you. And we get it. As trained mental health professionals, we use active listening to provide a non-judgmental space for you to feel accepted for exactly who you are and where you are at in life. This crazy, stressful world can make us feel lonely and isolated and we want more for you. We believe that connection, joy, and confidence that radiates out from the core of who you are is possible.

Someone who feels stuck 

It is really difficult to get unstuck and the reality is, if you could have done that on your own, you would have done that by now. If you don’t know where to start, life coaching is for you. If you know what you want but don’t know how to get there, we got you. Or maybe you just need the motivation, encouragement, and accountability to get started—life coaching can help! We bring a fresh perspective and approach to the way you view yourself and your life—it could be just the thing you need to experience freedom to move forward.

Someone who wants accountability

Do you ever tell yourself “I’ll start on Monday,” but you tell that to yourself every week?  Do you have a hard time sticking to your goals, whether eating right, taking care of yourself, applying for jobs, drinking less (hello wine company memberships during quarantine), or cutting a toxic person out?  Maybe you need someone to follow up with you or someone to hold you accountable.  Maybe your friends and family are tired of hearing you talk about that one guy, or you’re too embarrassed to tell them you’ve been eating a carton of ice cream every night.  We got you.  We will help you create tangible steps and follow through with the goals you’ve set for yourself.  And if you mess up? We’ll re-evaluate and help get you back on track.

Someone who wants to overcome their fears 

We are all scared of something and the odds are, life coaching can help you work through many of those fears. Are you afraid to try for a new job? Are you terrified of dating or breaking up with a partner you know is wrong for you? Or are you just feeling anxious and worried about the little things? Here at Ember we are big believers in, “Your potential begins where your comfort zone ends.” It’s time to stop letting fear stand in the way of you pursuing the life you’ve dreamed of. We teach stress management strategies and help you build true self-care into your life so you can kick fear in the face. 

Someone who thinks they aren’t good enough 

Empowering clients is one of our favorite ways to work. We are often so hard on ourselves. We speak from personal experience when we say, it is really challenging to generate self-confidence all on your own. Luckily, our Ember life coaches specialize in empowerment! Whether you struggle with perfectionistic tendencies, self-esteem, or the courage to set boundaries with certain people in your life…life coaching can help you overcome these negative and unhelpful beliefs. We will support you in eliminating self-defeating thoughts and replace them with healthier ones. 

Someone who wants to improve their relationships 

The reality is, to navigate relationships in your life (romantic, family, work), it is most helpful to seek out wisdom from an impartial and unbiased 3rd party. Who better to do that for you than a life coach? We work with clients experiencing break-ups, struggling in the dating world, or feeling frustrated with a friend or family member. If you are motivated to put in work to improve your relationships, we know you will experience relationship growth with life coaching. 

Someone who desires help to achieve their goals

Do you feel like your life is spinning in a circle? You tell yourself everything is “okay” because you aren’t moving backward, but you aren’t experiencing forward motion either. We believe you deserve more than okay. Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation. We want you to make the most of your life and we know the challenges starting this on your own so, we are here to help! We will give you tools to envision what you want for your life and put practical steps in place to chase after a great life. 

Still not sure if life coaching is for you? Just reach out and we can chat. We love meeting and connecting with new friends…even if you don’t become our client! Any opportunity to dream big and spark possibility is what we live for. We can’t wait to hear from you soon!
