Finding harmony and life balance through coaching

Journey into Life Coaching

In the whirlwind of juggling family, career and personal needs, busy mothers often find themselves struggling with little time to prioritise their own well-being.  As a life coach I have the privilege of supporting and empowering mothers to regain balance in life, go back to work confidently after having children and prioritising self-care.  Together we tackle overwhelm and burnout which have an immense impact on the mental, emotional and physical health. 

I have found myself drawn towards this niche as it resonates with how my life was before I got introduced to coaching. I felt I was constantly on the go, tired and feeling guilty for wanting some time for myself. I lacked being present and savouring the moment which led to feeling burnt out as well as lacking self-esteem as I was not feeling fulfilled. 

Through my coaching journey, I discovered my strengths and skills and also weaknesses to work on, my values and beliefs and how they affect my behaviour.  These were the foundations of my transformation and which I have used to manage my life better and now I feel free, light and in control when I have doubt moments.  

The Power of Coaching

My coaching journey started a discovery journey but turned into a passion to help others find alignment and fulfilment in their lives. I finally found my purpose with  coaching. I now want to help other busy mothers experience this transformation and  live the balanced life they desire and dream of through the power of coaching. As a busy mum, balancing the demands of family, work and personal well-being can often feel overwhelming. Life coaching provides a structured, supportive approach to navigating these challenges, offering transformative benefits that help mothers thrive both personally and professionally.  

Through coaching, we aim to focus on the growth mindset which enables the client to create change and celebrate small wins. By using various time management and task prioritising techniques and tools as well as listening actively, creating a safe space and focusing on what the client has control over, mothers are able to be empowered and redesign the personal and professional paths they desire. Coaching around this niche creates significant impact on families, helping mums achieve a healthier life balance and fostering positive changes that ripple through their families and communities. 

My 3 Top Tips as a Life Balance & Mindset Coach: 

1. Challenge your negative thoughts and reframe them with positive and empowering ones. This is when one’s awareness rises, and change will start to happen while focusing only on what someone has within their control. 
2. Set clear boundaries and respect them, whether that is at work, with family and friends or even with managing one’s time. Establishing healthy  boundaries is crucial for protecting one's time, energy and emotional wellbeing. Be comfortable with saying NO when it is necessary; whether to commitments "Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough." - Josh Billings 
3. Maintaining physical, mental and emotional well-being is essential for achieving balance in life. However, many people neglect self-care due to busy schedules, stress or feelings of guilt. "Fill your own cup first because you can never pour from an empty cup". Rest isn’t a luxury; it is a vital part of self-care. 

Embracing A Flexible Lifestyle

The recipe to regain balance in life is mixing reframing your thoughts with prioritising and managing your task without forgetting to sprinkle self-care on top! Training to become a coach is an extraordinary skill to have on the personal and professional levels. It is a self-discovery journey that will transform your life before it transforms your  client’s. One of my top values is flexibility. Being a coach aligns with this value as I have the flexibility of working hours and locations which gives me the privilege to be present in my children lives and enjoy what I love most, travel with my family. 

Training to become a life coach with a specialisation in helping busy mums, is a profoundly rewarding endeavour. The demand for such specialised coaching is high, as many mothers seek guidance to navigate the complexities of modern parenting and career demands.   By becoming an expert in this area, you not only build a fulfilling career but also contribute to the well-being and empowerment of countless families. Specialising in this niche offers both personal and professional growth.
