237. What it’s like to have a coach by your side while leaving a 20-year relationship, walking away from a 6-year business, and starting over at 41

from The Monika A. Mazur Podcast · host Monika A. Mazur

Clara first came to me for fitness coaching in 2023. Almost immediately, our work expanded into performance coaching and business mentorship. What started with training quickly became about much more than fitness.For the next two years, I had the privilege of supporting her through one of the biggest transitions of her life.When we first started working together, Clara knew something in her life wasn’t right, but she couldn’t put it into words. She had spent six years living and working on a boat in the Netherlands with the same partner she’d been with for 20 years. From the outside, she had built a beautiful life. On the inside, she knew she had outgrown it.Over the next two years, she made one difficult decision after another. At 41, she left the relationship, walked away from the business, moved into the first apartment ever in her own name, and started building a life that reflected who she had become. Today, she’s also building T-Circles, a community centered around tea, meditation, and meaningful connection.In this episode, we talk about:•⁠ ⁠Leaving a 20-year relationship without turning the other person into the villain•⁠ ⁠What performance coaching and business mentorship looked like during one of the biggest transitions of her life•⁠ ⁠Staying consistent with your health while your life is changing•⁠ ⁠Building a business that’s aligned with who you are today•⁠ ⁠Finding your voice after years of putting yourself second•⁠ ⁠Why starting over at 41 became the best decision she ever madeThis episode is about more than leaving a relationship. It’s about having the courage to stop living a life that no longer fits and creating one that does.If you’ve been feeling like something in your life is off, but you can’t quite explain it, I think you’ll see yourself in Clara’s story.Book your complimentary Coffee & Goals consultation here:📍monikaamazur.as.me/CoffeeandGoals
