Maggie O'Sullivan Life Coach

Did 2025 deliver for you? Or did you have great plans and goals that you weren't able to stick with?
Life coaching can support you to get clear on what you want, create realistic goals, and stay accountable when motivation dips. That consistency is often the difference between hoping for change and actually making it happen.

I offer online sessions and face-to-face coaching in the Beara and Kenmare area, helping people with all sorts of change.
It's action-focused, practical and informal - and fully confidential.
Message me for a free consultation and explore whether coaching feels like a good fit for 2026.

Just because the evenings are getting shorter doesn't mean you can kick off your shoes and lie back on the couch until Spring. That way stagnation lies.

Trying new things, visiting new places, and meeting new people are all great ways to bring more happiness and energy into your life.

If you are feeling stuck in a boring life, please contact me to find out about coaching. You only get one shot at this life, why not make it a happy one?

When you face choices in your life, big or small, don't forget that you can only make the choice based on what you know right now. Right now.
Don't waste your energy looking back on past decisions and wishing you had done differently. You did your best with what you knew at the time. Every decision is a time capsule, sealed up once you make it.
If you struggle to make decisions, or you have an active "inner critic" who slags off your decisions, please get in touch to find out about coaching with me. Self-belief can be built, one easy step at a time.

What have you done this week to feed your soul?
It's so easy to forget this aspect of ourselves, focussing on feeding the body, feeding the family, feeding the dog.
Nobody knows what feeds your soul except you.
So nobody else can take care of this. And have you forgotten how good it feels?

My soul slipped out of my body last year
so it could sit down and speak to me face to face.

I was surprised how my soul looked now that I could actually look at it with my eyes. It was much skinnier than I thought it would be.

"Why aren't you feeding me?" my soul asked
I could tell it was struggling to maintain it's illuminated outline so I could look at it.

"Why aren't you feeding me?' my soul asked.

"I thought I was," I replied. "Don't you remember last week when I let us watch that little self-guided meditation on YouTube that was about how to maintain a positive attitude or something?"

To be honest, I couldn't quite remember what it was that I had watched - because I had fallen asleep about 45 seconds into the video.
My soul sighed.

“That’s not enough for me to keep my light blazing. What you have been giving me are crumbs. What I need is a banquet of beauty and wonder to feast on. I require a sprawling clambake of miracles and revelation to maintain my connection to Creation. I am starving for a fat spread of delicious marvel and decadent awe,” my Soul went on to say.

“Wow, I didn’t know you were such a diva,” I replied defensively.

“I’m not a diva. I’m malnourished,” it said to me while beginning to flicker.

My frown touched my kneecaps.

“What can I do to feed you right now?”

My soul pointed toward the door.

“Let’s go outside. The way the light moves through the trees in the late day is one of my favorite meals.”

I nodded my head and opened the door as we went on to gorge ourselves under the low August light like it was a chocolate fountain.

It was a harvest of blessings.

“Thank you,” my glowing soul burped up to me through my veins.

“Of course,” I replied. “I’ll do better, I promise. I’ll give you a huge picnic every day.”

My soul hugged my bones tightly and said “Well, then I better go shopping.”

“Shopping? For what?” I asked.

“For some stretchy pants.”

It's Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you, in case you live under a rock and haven't heard this before).

There is more to these films than the flashy battle scenes though.

Some of my favourite messages from Star Wars:

-The force comes from within, but you can only access it when you are calm and mindful.

-Your focus determines your reality.

-Fear leads to anger, which leads you away from the light.

-We must learn from our failures and grow beyond them.

And finally, trust your instincts. Otherwise, when you try to fly between the trees, you will crash and the little angry teddy bear things will come for you.

It is easy to think that our past mistakes linger around in our aura, our karma or whatever. But the only way they can linger is by us by recharging them, breathing life back into them as we lash ourselves with the sharp tongue of our inner critic. But you are still the one and only you.

The rising fire dances and leaps from the ashes, carrying warm energy toward the sky.

Can you?

Food for thought for the second half of the week.

Ah Sunday night. And worse, for me it's Sunday night after a week off. So I have that whole "can't find my schoolbag" feeling.
To stop things spiralling, I've found my diary and gone through it (and my google calendar) to check my commitments, and I've decided on dinners for the first half of the week.
Last week I spent an afternoon chopping veg and meat for slow cooker meals, I have eight of them in the freezer now for my busiest days (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) for the next few weeks. That's a good feeling.

⚡This week, how can you support yourself in your busiest times?
⚡What do you want more of this week, and what do you want less of?

That sort of clear info would work well on a Post It note on your mirror.

👉More time in bed, less time on the couch.
👉More reading, less ranting.
👉More lounging, less laundry. Or vice versa. No judgement.

🍧Wishing you a great week. Drop me a message if you want to talk about being kinder to yourself in these ways.

When the hamster wheel is spinning, we don't have the time or headspace to think about big questions.

When was the last time you checked in with yourself about what really matters to you right now, at this stage of your life, with things the way they are?

I didn't want to spend my precious time on stuff that didn't matter. So I decided to take stock and re-calibrate my yardstick.

Now I help clients reconnect with this aspect of themselves, often so buried under responsibilities, obligations and commitments to others ..... and a big blanket of cultural expectations that we take on board without realising.

I help them clients to dig around to identify the sources of regret, guilt and unease in their life, and the sources of joy, connection and engagement.

Often the answers are hidden.

That's why it's helpful to have a skilled coach in your corner to help you peel back the layers of should, might have, could have, would have loved to ... but didn't.

DM me if you would like to take time together to step off the hamster wheel and look around. 👀
