I'm Not Who I Was | SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast with Chris Melville

In this episode of the SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, Nicole George reconnects with Chris Melville, SOVEREIGN Magazine®'s In-House Coach to discuss the May Full Moon issue on Transformation and Chris’s article, “I’m Not Who I Was When I Started.” Chris shares that transformation in coaching is a co-created relationship that changes both client and coach, describing how experience builds stronger observational and “soft” skills and leads to deeper, easier results. They explore shifting language from “fixing” to “invitation,” emphasizing integration and authenticity over performance. Chris explains she doesn’t work with clients in victim mindset, suggesting practices like gratitude to begin rewiring toward possibility, and outlines using small behavioral changes to build confidence before addressing deeper beliefs. 00:00 Trigger Warning00:22 Welcome to Sovereign01:06 Meet Coach Chris01:52 Transformation Is Co-Created04:04 Growing Through Clients05:00 Ego Check and Feedback06:31 From Fixing to Invitation07:41 Who Is Ready for Coaching10:23 Claiming Your Identity11:10 Baby Steps to Change13:08 Connect and ClosingConnect with Chris MelvilleEmailInstagramChris's Private Coaching CommunityProducer’s credits:Nicole George - Podcast Host | CEO/Founder SOVEREIGN Magazine® | Editor-in-Chief Ariane Lim - Podcast Producer + EngineerSara Wagle - Audio Efficiency & Flow ManagerLatest Issue: Click here Become a Columnist: learn more here.Connect with Us:InstagramFacebookLinkedInSubstackYouTubeThreads
