03. Starting from Scratch: My First Few Months as a Coach

In this episode, I share my honest journey of starting to work as an independent coach. You'll hear personal reflections, mindset shifts, and what I’ve learned about life experimentation, authenticity, and embracing a transitional period.

This isn’t a story of instant success. It’s a real and meaningful chapter of transition, growth, and rediscovery.
