Coaching as a Leader: You're Supporting Everyone Else – But Who's Supporting You?

When you're the one everyone turns to, who supports you? In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Rebecca Daniel and Sarah Bramall, co-founders of The Coaching Catalysts, to talk about something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime—coaching supervision. We explore how leaders can create space for themselves in a world that constantly demands they show up strong. Sarah and Rebecca unpack the emotional load of leadership, explain what supervision really is (hint: it's not therapy or coaching), and share why it's essential for anyone managing people, especially those blending leadership with a coaching mindset. We talk messy minds, blurred boundaries, and the power of having a protected space to process, reflect, and recharge. If you've ever felt like you're holding it all together for everyone else while quietly falling apart inside, this episode is for you. You'll learn: What coaching supervision is and how it differs from coaching or therapy Why leaders need a space to offload without judgement or agenda How the emotional labour of leadership shows up (and what happens if it goes unchecked) The benefits of slowing down, even if your brain is already in 2026 How organisations can build safer, more supportive coaching cultures Whether you're a qualified coach, a team leader, or simply the go-to person in your circle, this conversation will make you think differently about how you care for yourself, so you can keep showing up for others.
