129. Is Life Coaching Worth It? How Elle Broke Free from Overthinking and Took Her Power Back

·34 min·2 clips

Elle says 'I am fed and fit' became an identity she repeated until her health choices changed.

1. Life Coaching for Christians episode 129 centers on Elle's experience with brain-based life coaching and whether coaching was worth it. 2. Renee Boo is the host and coach, and Elle is a former client, wife, mom of three, and hairstylist whose story gives the coaching example credibility. 3. The episode asks whether coaching can help when books, programs, and self-help have already been tried. 4. Elle says she had read books, bought Pace Yourself programs, and reread Atomic Habits by James Clear without getting traction. 5. She explains that her main frustration was the self-talk in her head, especially thoughts like 'What's wrong with me?' and 'Why can't I get this right?'. 6. Elle says she tended to take too-big steps and could not sustain them, so Renee's 'itty-bitty daily steps' approach felt usable. 7. Elle mentions an official ADHD diagnosis from a couple of years earlier, and says traditional goal-setting frameworks felt overwhelming. 8. She describes needing to verbally get her goals out so Renee could help map where she was stuck and what to do next. 9. Trust becomes a major theme because Elle says she knew Renee through a different ministry or program before coaching. 10. Elle says she trusted Renee to be nonjudgmental and to push her 'in a loving way.' 11. Renee connects the coaching to urgency, saying 'your life is a vapor' and warning against assuming there is always tomorrow. 12. Elle agrees that the day matters and says being a mother, wife, and hairstylist are all 'kingdomly impactful' roles. 13. The episode briefly pauses for a program promotion for the 'abundant life collective,' which opens in August with 12 spots on the waitlist. 14. Elle says the biggest change during coaching was verbally processing out loud instead of sitting in the 'muck' of negative thoughts. 15. Renee says coaching can move people faster than books because another person can hear what they are saying and ask different questions. 16. Elle says she is a 'book hog' who buys new books on Amazon, reads them quickly, and still needs outside accountability to act. 17. One memorable practical shift is Elle's health language, where she repeats 'I am fed and fit' to guide food choices. 18. Elle says that identity work helped her drink a protein shake before the interview and make choices that fit her goals. 19. The tone is conversational, encouraging, and testimonial-driven, with Renee coaching live and Elle responding with concrete personal examples. 20. Listeners who like Christian coaching, identity work, and ADHD-aware goal setting will get the most from this episode, while people wanting a tightly edited skills tutorial may skip it.

As heard by us

A plainspoken coaching conversation that shows how real life shapes growth.

Elle speaks as a former client, and that keeps the piece tied to what changed for her after she chose coaching. She describes herself as a wife, a mom of three little kids, a later-in-life mom, and a business owner, which gives the story a lived-in, specific feel.
