EP 17: LIVE Coaching: Freeze or Win with Megan Thompson

Participating in a live coaching session on air takes a lot of courage, and today’s guest, Megan Thompson, has stepped up to the plate. In this episode, Megan, who is an existing client of Chris’s, shares the current confidence roadblock she is facing. As someone who has already experienced a 60 percent increase in fulfillment in just five sessions, Megan has seen just how powerful coaching and be, and her desire is now to share that with others. Of course, when trying something new, self-doubt sets in, so we talk about how to act from a place of confidence and ultimately make better decisions. Megan knows that she has to look for evidence to prove her limiting beliefs wrong, and this has already come in the form of being told she is a great coach. Although validation from others can be helpful, Megan displays incredible awareness knowing that true, unshakeable confidence comes from within. We also talk about acting from a place of abundance and not scarcity, reframing rejection as a learning moment, and why you cannot solve your problems with the same brain that created it. Megan is a fantastic example of someone who enjoys the challenge of continually showing up for themselves and pursuing growth.
