The Work A Coach Can’t Do

And what we can do. 

       

If you’re a Coach reading this, I know you have that client.

The one you’re RACKING your brain at 11pm trying to figure out the magic solution for. What blood test am I missing? What supplement should we try that I haven’t ? Maybe if I have her track 4 days a week instead of 7 she’ll hit her macros,   Maybe she just needs another meal prep recipe ….

And yet,  she just keeps ending in the same loop of lack of gym progress, scale isn’t moving,  gut issues, skipped check ins, fatigue, inconsistency ….

 

you may not be missing anything .

Whatever this client’s goals, if you are:  truly showing up for your clients, asking questions, leveraging your tools , referring them to other professionals (because it takes a team ) and supporting them -   

What they often need is the work that you can not do for them. 

At the end of the day-   Coaches are not saviors. 

And that’s a good thing

Am I a Hypocrite? You Tell Me.
Written by: Meredith Paci | Functional Health Coach Happy Sunday! I hope the weekend you curated included a little room to breathe. This morning I asked myself a question that stemmed from last night. Last night I stayed up until midnight watching The Diplomat. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a series on Netflix, and the newest season came out recently. It’s brilliantly written, and my husband and...
Women Who Don’t Know Better Will Believe Him and Leave Feeling Silly for Caring
Written by: Meredith Paci | Functional Health Coach Last week one of my clients went to see a specialist. Her cycles stopped in her 30s, and she has been incredibly proactive about her health and overall well-being ever since. She knows this territory very well, and she approaches all of it with an abundance mindset. She is on hormone therapy and is supported incredibly well by her healthcare t...
