Yesterday, I checked in with a fellow coach from our advanced Flying Changes Mindset Course. We hadn’t spoken in a while, so I wanted to see how she was doing.



Cue my horrified reaction.
The idea of putting myself “front and centre” on social media made me want to run for the hills!

Here’s the thing: I can coach confidently in the middle of an arena for hours. But social media? That’s a whole different ballgame. Why? Because it’s way outside my comfort zone.

• Who’d want to listen to me?
• What if no one interacts?
• What if I have no followers?
• What if someone tells me I’m rubbish?
Her response was, “You’ll just have to grow a thick skin.”
While well-meaning, it left me feeling more deflated than inspired.

Fast forward to yesterday’s chat with my fellow coach. We talked about marketing strategies, and I shared my plan to launch a competition for free coaching sessions—once I’d found out if I’d passed my advanced mindset accreditation. I admitted I might be procrastinating because I didn’t want to put myself out there.
Her reply hit home:


Boom.
In just a few perfectly timed questions, she helped shift my mindset from hesitation to action. It was a perfect example of mindset coaching at work—asking the right questions at the right time to help someone move forward.

It’s not about ignoring fears or challenges but understanding where they come from and how to move through them.
The truth is, there were several things at play that had left me feeling off balance and unsure about taking the next step.
After a hectic few months, I was physically rundown and battling a cold.
Between Christmas, a heavy workload, and the pressure of meeting my advanced mindset coaching assignment deadlines, I’d been running on fumes. Once I hit “submit,” my body finally hit the brakes.



Even as mindset coaches, we’re not immune to doubts. Life throws curve balls at all of us.
The difference is, we have tools to navigate those moments, understand where they’re coming from, and move through them. We’re not fearless robots—we feel fear, just like everyone else. But we also know how to work with it, not against it.



This is me, stepping out of my comfort zone. And if you’re considering doing the same in your life, let me tell you—it’s worth it, as that’s where growth begins.
