In our search for growth—whether in career, relationships, or wellness—we often forget one powerful truth: you don’t have to do it alone. Recently, I worked with a client whose journey perfectly reflects this.
For confidentiality, I’ll call her Myra. She came to me deeply upset, frustrated, and disappointed in herself. Despite trying for years to lose weight, she felt stuck. She had followed diets, watched countless health videos, tried exercises, and even restarted multiple plans—but nothing seemed to work. And every time she slipped, she blamed herself.
As we began our coaching sessions, she expressed her exhaustion:
“I try so hard… so why do I fail every few weeks?”
When we spoke about her routine, she shared the diets she attempted—intermittent fasting, OMAD, balanced plate meals, and low-carb evenings. She tried morning walks, 20-minute home workouts, yoga stretches, and even quick HIIT sessions from YouTube. On the surface, it looked like she was doing everything right.
But as I began asking deeper questions, small but powerful truths surfaced—things she never realised were affecting her progress:
- She skipped meals when stressed
- She barely slept 5 hours
- She drank very little water
- She felt guilty taking time for herself
- She had no emotional support
- She restarted without a proper plan
- She pushed herself too hard, then gave up
These “small things” were the real reasons she couldn’t sustain her efforts. It wasn’t lack of willpower—it was lack of consistent support.
That’s when she said, “I think I just need someone to walk this journey with me.”
And that is exactly what coaching does.
Together, we built a simple schedule, somewhat like this:
- Morning: 15–20 minutes of stretching or brisk walking
- Breakfast: high in fiber, protein, healthy fats, and micronutrients.
- Lunch: Balanced plate lunch (half veggies, quarter protein, quarter carbs)
- Evening: Light yoga or a 10-minute mobility routine
- Dinner: Early dinner – light soup
- Daily habits: 2–3 litres of water, mindful eating, journaling, 7 hours sleep, surrounded by positive minded people.
With accountability, patience, and weekly check-ins, she slowly began to transform—not just physically, but emotionally. She became kinder to herself, more aware of her needs, and more confident in her abilities.
Sometimes, you don’t need a new plan—you need a partner who reminds you of the small things that truly matter.
If you’re struggling to stay consistent or find your direction, I would be honoured to walk this journey with you.
