Why Coaching is Helping Women Around the World Find Themselves Again

Something is shifting in women everywhere. Across countries, careers, and cultures — women are beginning to pause. To look at their lives and whisper the quietest, bravest question of all:
Is this really it? We’ve spent generations being strong, capable, and endlessly giving. We’ve built lives that look full on the outside — yet so many of us are quietly running on empty within.

That’s where coaching comes in. It genuinely saved me. If you don’t know my story then I will share it briefly again. I discovered coaching in my early 40s. I was taught how to do basic coaching as a manager in Health and Social Care. I sat through the training and was blown away by how asking seemingly simple questions could bring about huge change. I developed my techniques with my care staff and had some incredible results. I then realised that there was someone who needed coaching the most. Me.

I was stuck with my weight and mental wellbeing. I had reached rock bottom and nothing had worked when it came to my self worth. On the outside I looked to have everything - A husband who adored me, wonderful children, a beautiful home and a successful career, but inside I was dying. I was so low and felt so worthless I didn’t want to be around. I thought about ending my life regularly and it breaks my heart to say this out loud. I wanted to lose weight as I thought that was the root of all my troubles. I decided to have weight loss surgery and signed up with a bariatric coach. This was where my life changed.

Working with the Shenelle at the bariatric rewrite taught me so much. Not just about health and weightloss but about me. I changed. Yes I lost weight thanks to the surgery and lifestyle changed I learnt but it was so much more than that. I saw how coaching can change everything. I started training to be a life coach and I have worked damned hard, not only on myself but also to build my knowledge to help others.

I don’t want anyone else to feel like I did. Worthless, lonely, lost and broken. You are not any of these things - I promise. You just need some support and help to create the life of your dreams.

✨ Coaching Helps Women Remember Who They Are

For centuries, women have been taught to carry it all — the expectations, the emotions, the invisible load. We’ve been the peacekeepers, the fixers, the ones who hold everything together.

But coaching gives you something few other spaces do: a moment that’s entirely about you. This is where is begins and my motto is ‘you get to begin again’ Anytime. Anywhere.

In coaching, you get to explore your thoughts without judgement. You get to say things you’ve never said out loud. You get to reconnect with your inner truth — not who you think you should be, but who you really are. It’s a conversation that doesn’t tell you what to do. It helps you remember what you already know. You get to open up and say exactly what you need - you can’t shock me but I invite you to try ;) Coaching is a safe space. There is no judgment. No pressure. Just a peace that brings clarity, confidence and calm.

🌸 Coaching Brings Clarity, Confidence and Calm

When a woman feels lost, she doesn’t need to be fixed. She needs to be heard. When was the last time you said everything you wanted to out loud? The thoughts that are deep down that you are too scared to let out?

Through coaching, women find the space to think clearly, set boundaries, and rediscover confidence that’s been buried under years of “shoulds.” They learn how to pause before reacting, how to choose peace over people-pleasing, and how to design a life that actually feels good. It’s not about changing who you are, although that can happen — it’s about coming home to yourself.

And when one woman does that, it creates a ripple that reaches everyone around her — her family, her friendships, her work, her world. I love that ripple - it’s one we all should embrace and champion. Women working on themselves for themselves makes us stronger.

🌿 Coaching Is Universal — Because Struggle Is Universal

Whether it’s a mother in Manchester learning to set boundaries, a businesswoman in New York rediscovering her purpose, or a woman in Sydney learning to rest without guilt —
the heart of it is the same. I work wit women worldwide. I coach women from the US, the UK and Europe. There are no boundaries in this modern world of technology and there is no time difference we cannot overcome!

We all want to feel connected, calm, and fulfilled. We all want to wake up in the morning and feel proud of who we are. We all want to believe that change is still possible — even now.

Coaching bridges cultures and continents because it meets us at our most human level: our thoughts, our emotions, and our hope for more. I know it works. I believe in it so passionately that I want to shout about it from the rooftops. I wish I had found it years ago, when I was a young mum struggling with mental health problems and juggling a million things!

💫 The Ripple of Empowered Women

When a woman finds her voice, she helps others find theirs too and that’s what I am doing. That’s why coaching matters so much to me — it’s not just to individuals, but to communities and generations that follow.

Every breakthrough, every boundary, every brave decision adds to a collective story of women who chose to rewrite their lives with compassion instead of criticism. And that’s the work I’m honoured to do every day — helping women rediscover their strength, their clarity, and their joy.
