Hayley | Womens Health & Resilience Coach | ICF ACC | DipCNM

I sometimes wonder whether we’ve become so obsessed with finding answers that we’ve forgotten we’re supposed to do something with them.

There’s an extraordinary amount of information available to us about our health, our bodies and our minds. More than most generations of women have ever had access to. And yet we’re still looking for the next explanation, the next supplement, the next expert or the next reason why something isn’t working.

I see this a lot in the health space, and it’s something I challenge in my coaching. Because at some point, we have to be willing to look at our own behaviour, not just our circumstances.

That doesn’t mean every health issue can be solved through lifestyle changes. Of course it can’t. But I do think we’ve become very comfortable discussing what we want to change and considerably less comfortable examining what we’re prepared to do about it.

And that’s where coaching gets interesting.

Not another list of things you should be doing or another routine to follow. It’s about taking an honest look at what’s happening in your life, the decisions you’re making and whether they’re supporting the woman you keep saying you want to become.

I think we could all benefit from questioning ourselves a little more often, myself included. Because knowing better is one thing. Being willing to do something differently is quite another.

A little food for thought from your coach 🤍
