Spoiler: YOU’RE the Magic (Not Your Coach)

Send us a text

In this episode, I’m a bit croaky and on the brink of man flu, but I’m very much here 😂 because I needed to talk about something important: this idea that someone else “has the answers” for your life.

I saw a post from a coach recently selling a high-ticket programme with the vibe of, “work with me, I have the answers, I can fix everything for you.” And honestly? It felt outdated and a bit snake oil salesman-ish. Not because investing in yourself is bad (I’m ALL for it), but because I genuinely believe the opposite: you already have the answers within you. No coach, mentor, book or programme is your saviour. The right ones simply help you remember what you already know.

In this conversation, I get into:

• how my own upbringing in a strict, patriarchal religious system taught me to ignore my inner knowing
• the amount of unlearning it takes to realise you are allowed to want more, choose more, and think for yourself
• how knowledge is useless without action and why you are always the one who has to implement
• the difference between a coach who “has the answers” and a coach who helps you find yours

I also share some basic practical ways to actually access those answers within you: stripping away the noise (hi social media break 👋) creating space, asking yourself better questions, choosing a mindset that serves you instead of keeps you in victimhood, and gently ditching external validation so you can hear your own voice more clearly.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly looking outside of yourself for permission, approval, or the “right” next step… this episode is your reminder that you are the magic. The answers were never out there. They’ve been in you all along. 💫
