As body image becomes less of a taboo topic and it’s importance increasingly recognised,

I am feeling optimistic about the state of the coaching industry.

What do you think?

One day is a great way to guarantee your goals don’t become your reality.

How would you start showing up differently?

Let me know your one day goal in the comments!

It’s difficult to know what to say when clients come for fat loss, and you can see they might need something else.

Even experienced coaches panic, especially when you’re afraid of causing harm.

These situations take a lot of practice to navigate.

If you can see when body image work is needed, but you’re not sure what to say without pushing clients away,

Comment GROUNDED and I’ll see you my Body Image Conversation Guide.

You’ll get language for the 5 trickiest coaching moments, so you can feel more grounded in complex conversations.

Sundays are for long form thoughts and deep thinking about coach you want to be, no?

Comment NUANCE and I’ll send you the link to my Substack.

It’s for coaches who know their clients need more than a fat loss plan, sometimes doubt whether they can help, and know that the most important growth they can do as a coach is to embody the work themselves.

As a recovering perfectionist, I want to take you behind the scenes of what that process looks like!

The more you understand the research, the more you understand the limitations of current body image models.

Research fields tend to operate in silos, with different measures for similar processes.

Simpler models get tested more, and can end up shaping much of the literature, even when they don’t have the most explanatory power.

So why do we cling to it?

Research feels safe when we feel insecure. If I can quote the study, nobody can say I don’t know what I’m doing.

In reality, practice often evolves faster than research.

Practitioners notice what helps, and what doesn’t.

They adapt, refine, and actively learn from their clients.

Of course research matters. But it’s just one part of evidence-based practice.

If you’re a coach wanting to get better at this work, understanding the research will only take you so far.

The skills come from practice, feedback, and looking at your own stuff.

Are you developing yourself accordingly?

Chances are, business isn’t gonna slow down.

You won’t be less stressed when you reach your next revenue goal.

But you can become the version of you who can stay steady while it grows, and that’s where compassion training comes in.

Training your mind is not about feeling relaxed or calm.

It’s increasing your capacity to respond flexibly to stressors, so you can show up for your clients and business.

I recently got back from my 4th compassion conference, and my full recap is up on YouTube.

Comment CAPACITY and I’ll send it to you 💛

Want to support client autonomy?

That requires having insight and the capacity to choose.

If your client doesn’t know how their body image has been shaped, or how appearance preoccupation keeps them feeling bad about themselves, they don’t have much autonomy at all.

Body image education gives them that insight, and the SENSE helps you share it without lecturing them or invalidating them.

Want to feel grounded when body image comes up with clients?

Comment GROUNDED and I’ll send you my free Body Image Conversations Guide, so you can feel confident that you’re providing effective support.

Companies utilise your career focus because they assume that you’ve got money to spend, and career benefits may increase the perceived ROI of their service.

If they had your best interest at heart, they’d be honest about how fat loss doesn’t build true confidence.

Asserting yourself at work comes from developing a compassionate relationship with yourself, and working directly on the shame and self-criticism that has been weighing you down.

Alas, that takes longer to market.

And courage to pursue.

It’s not uncommon for clients to want to cancel coaching when their progress isn’t meeting their expectations, especially if they tend to be pretty hard on themselves.

These moments can be a wonderful opportunity to explore how they respond to setbacks, frustration and disappointment - and what they need from you as a coach.

That can only happen if you manage your own reactions first.

It’s not easy, but that’s where the growth happens!

19/10/2026

If we want to help others, that also means speaking up when we see harm, especially on behalf of others who may blame themselves.

If you are a client who has been told that you’re making excuses, or accused of not taking accountability,

I hope you know that this is a way for your coach to not take responsibility for their own reactions.

Ironic, huh?

It was never about you, and I hope you find more effective support.
