Have you ever worried that you'll freeze in a coaching session because you don't know what to ask next? Or felt like you're not "experienced enough" to lead someone through a real breakthrough? This fear comes up all the time—especially for new coaches—and it's exactly why I wanted to record this episode.

 

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down how to ask powerful coaching questions even when you don't feel ready, confident, or qualified yet. I talk openly about imposter syndrome, why coaching isn't about having perfect wording or giving advice, and how a few simple, intentional questions can create massive clarity and action for your clients. I also walk you through the three core types of coaching questions I use in my own sessions—and share several go-to questions you can literally steal and use right away.

 

If you've been feeling stuck in imposter syndrome, second-guessing yourself in sessions, or worried you don't know enough to be a "real" coach yet, then this episode is for you.
