As a life coach and breast cancer survivor, I often receive questions about what I do and how it can help others, especially those going through challenging times. Here are the top three questions I get asked, along with my responses. I hope you find this insightful and inspiring.

1️⃣ What do you do as a life coach/what even is a life coach?

As a life coach, I guide individuals through personal and professional challenges, helping them to set and achieve their goals, find clarity, and cultivate resilience. Think of me as a partner in your journey towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. I provide support, accountability, and tools to help you navigate life’s ups and downs, especially during challenging times like facing a breast cancer diagnosis and recovery.

2️⃣ How is life coaching different from therapy?

Great question! While both life coaching and therapy aim to help individuals improve their lives, they are quite different. Therapy often focuses on healing past traumas and understanding emotional issues. Life coaching, on the other hand, is forward-focused. It’s about setting goals, creating actionable plans, and making positive changes. I help clients build a vision for their future and work towards it.

3️⃣ What qualifies you to be a life coach?

My qualifications include a blend of professional training, personal experience, and a deep passion for helping others. As a breast cancer survivor, I understand the unique challenges that come with this journey. I have developed the 5R Method, a unique process for building resilience, and offer a course called B.O.U.N.C.E – A Course in Resilience. Additionally, my background as a nurse, author, and life coach equips me with a holistic approach to support my clients effectively.
