Hey, everybody. Welcome to an entrepreneur episode.

This one is designed specifically for my fellow coaches, building coaching businesses.

I got this question that came in through the IG direct messages.

She asked me specifically to address it maybe on a podcast.

I said brilliant idea. I know you're not the only one because I've been asked this question a lot.

Here's what she said.

As a coach, I sometimes feel like a fluke because I'm still struggling with what I'm trying

to help my client with. I feel like they turned to me trusting that I can really help them,

but sometimes I feel stuck in the same way they are, and it makes me feel not good enough.

Like I had to have overcome it in order to walk someone else through it.

So I guess my question is what is a more empowering way to think about my personal struggles when it

comes to helping my clients with theirs? And just another thought, like I would never go to a

marriage counselor who currently has marriage problems. I feel like I wouldn't be able to trust

them, but I also know that everyone struggles and is always going to be a work in progress.

All right. Can any of you relate to this? Thank you to the person who sent in this question.
