How can you be a life coach, if you still have your own life problems? Let’s get into that and talk about building confidence as a coach, including how and when to ethically work out your own personal struggles without impacting your clients.

Most people are only familiar with cognitive-behavioral coaching techniques, but in this episode I’m getting into how you can use somatic coaching in your coaching practice (including identifying when it’s not a good idea to use somatic coaching with clients).

What if you don’t want to “niche down”? What if your strength as a coach is your curiosity, creativity, and desire to do all the things? In this episode of The Craft of Coaching, we dive into multi-potentialite coaching—the unique challenges and powerful potential of coaches who are wired to pursue multiple passions.

Kate Swoboda sits down with a fellow multi-passionate coach to explore what it means to embrace your love of variety instead of constantly trying to tame it. From childhood curiosity to career pivots, they talk about what it’s like to be someone who thrives on learning, creating, and pivoting—and the pressure to “just pick one thing” that often leads to burnout or shame.

You’ll hear how structure, intentionality, and self-awareness are essential for making a multi-potentialite life work—without spinning out or succumbing to shiny object syndrome. They also discuss delegation, energy management, and the discipline it takes to turn your buffet of ideas into sustainable momentum.

If you’ve ever felt “too much” for wanting to do more, this episode of multi-potentialite coaching will help you reframe your path as powerful—not scattered.
