You’re not stuck - you’re avoiding something
by Carol Broome
You’re not stuck
you’re avoiding something
That might sound direct
But in coaching, it comes up again and again
People say they feel stuck
unsure
unclear about what to do next
But when we slow things down
and really look at it
That’s rarely the full picture
Because more often than not
They already know
They’ve thought about the step
They’ve come back to the decision
They’ve had the same idea more than once
It’s not new
What’s actually happening is something quieter
Hesitation
Doubt
Overthinking
And often
avoiding the step that feels uncomfortable
That might look like:
waiting for the right time
telling yourself you need more clarity
convincing yourself you’re not ready yet
But underneath all of that
There’s usually a knowing
And this is where people stay stuck
Not because they’re incapable
But because knowing and doing are not the same thing
That gap can feel bigger than it should be
Especially when you’re doing it alone
This is where coaching changes things
Not by giving you answers
But by helping you act on what you already know
By creating space to think clearly
and then gently holding you to the next step
Even when part of you wants to pull back
It’s not about pressure
or forcing yourself forward
But it is about movement
Because at some point
something has to shift
If you recognise yourself in this
If you know what you want to do
but keep holding back
coaching might be the support you need
I offer a First Step Session
where we begin that process together
and start moving things forward
You don’t have to figure it all out first
You just have to be willing to begin
Life Choices vs Life Accomplishments
by Helena Chan
I was speaking with a friend recently and she said something that stayed with me.
Getting married. Having children.
Those are life choices.
But making a relationship work.
The Hidden Cost of “Keeping Your Options Open”
by George Wilse
It sounds smart, doesn’t it?
“Keep your options open.”
“Don’t close doors too early.”
“See what happens.”
But most people aren’t keeping options open.

And yet… most people feel more stuck than ever.
5 steps to be more self-disciplined.
by Zahara Matovu
I don't know if this applies to you as well, but I always used to associate 'discipline' with something bad. It had a bad connotation from how it was used in my environment in the past.
Whenever I heard of the word discipline, I almost immediately associated it with being punished for breaking the rules.
"The Masquerade Is Over."
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
Who did you become in order to belong?
And what changes when the masquerade ends?
In one week, I will be co hosting a gentle live coaching space to explore something many highly sensitive and neurospicy souls know far too well: masking.
What does happiness mean to you?
by Zahara Matovu
What is happiness? What do you think about when you think about happiness?
Feels like a difficult question to answer for many of us.
They're 2 types of happiness. External and internal happiness.
Beliefs create your reality.
by Zahara Matovu
Everyone of us has certain beliefs they take to be true. Some of our beliefs were unconciously picked up during childhood, and others are conscious decisions we made to accept these beliefs to be true.
Bye Bye Perfect-Bye Bye Paralysis
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
From the moment we are born, being perfect is never part of the blueprint.
We learn to walk by standing up, wobbling, falling on our bums, and getting back up again.
Until one day, something shifts.
The Pippi Longstocking Contradiction: "Admire, don't emulate."
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
One childhood memory that stands out for me is that of enjoying Pippi Longstocking in the presence of equally thrilled adults and then, in the next moment, getting into trouble for speaking my mind.
What I couldn’t make sense of as a child, I later embodied as an adult:
Admire strong minded female characters in literature or on TV, from a distance, so to say, but don’t you dare emulate them.
All your judgements about yourself are temporary.
by Zahara Matovu
I wasn't planning on sharing this, but I think it may help someone.
We can be ourselves worst critic when it comes to judging ourselves.
We may say things like, "I am not good enough, I am not fit enough, I am a mess, I never do anything right, why is it always me?" etc.
You're Brilliant. And So Is Your Sabotage System.
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
A sophisticated mind doesn’t sabotage loudly, it sabotages eloquently.
A sophisticated mind builds arguments, gathers evidence and is brilliant at telling a really coherent story.

On Choosing The Well Woman Over The Good Girl
by Agakura Viñas Burihabwa
For a long time, I chose being good over being well.
And well, it wasn’t good.
Being good meant being agreeable, pleasing and grateful, even when something felt off.
It meant I didn’t make anyone uncomfortable because I adapted faster than I listened to myself.

Time management
by Zahara Matovu
Do you also feel like you don't have enough time for everything in your everyday life?
Then let's take a moment and become conscious on how to use our time wisely, because everything we do revolves around time, consciously or unconsciously.
Consistency will beat Talent every time
by Zahara Matovu
Why do I make a statement like this? That's because of the fact that, for talent to shine, it must be supported by consistency.
One may have a talent for singing or football, however, the talent can only come to light when one practices consistently.
Gratitude
by Zahara Matovu
When were you last grateful for something? It's unbeliveable how most people underrate being grateful for the big things, but most especially, the small things we over look.
Being grateful is the door that opens a lot of great opportunities.
When You’re Functioning, But Something Feels Off
by Helena Chan
People rarely come to coaching because something is “wrong.” More often, they arrive because something feels off. Life is functioning, yet clarity feels harder to reach. Decisions take more effort.
Perfectionism does not exist
by Zahara Matovu
This isn't easy for me to admit, but I was convinced that I was a perfectionist for quite a long time. I used to identify myself as a 'perfectionist' until one time I was listening to a podcast where the host said that 'perfectionism' does not exist.
Motivation Vs Action
by Zahara Matovu
When's the last time you waited for motivation in order to take action? I guess it's been a while or maybe you're still waiting for that motivation.
I want to let you know that, contrary to the usual belief, it is taking action first that breeds motivation.
