The Paradox in Life Coaching

from The Highly Sensitive Soul Podcast · host Julia Bernbaum

Today I am sharing what I call "the paradox in life coaching". This comes from my experience as a coach, first and fore-mostly with myself :) It has been debated for time immemorial if life is within our beyond our control. To address this, I bring my perspective from studying astrology, which provides evidence-based examples of a larger than life "cosmic clock". According to this clock, we will go through predictable life cycles, based on the movement of the planets. When studying life and events from this perspective, it is easier to release some sense of control, as it is clear there are much larger forces at play. Using this framework, as well as studying the subconscious mind, a paradox in the life coaching process is presented. How can we work with the forces of the universe when designing and creating our goals? How can we bow and contend with our subconscious patterns, our limiting beliefs, and retrograde cycles, when we see that what we "plan" may not always roll out as expected? Understanding all this, for me, offers a realistic approach when going into a life coaching process. Your life is about your relationship with yourself, and the journey is about knowing and accepting and loving who you are, including the journey itself. In this episode I talk about the paradox of: Pushing yourself while honoring your limits Trust and respect in timing Letting go while aiming high I hope this episode gives you a wider view of what life coaching can be for you, and how it's really all about the journey & not the destination in life. And yes, goals can definitely be reached! You can find me at www.juliabernbaum.com to learn more about Life Coaching and the other modalities I offer! Thanks again for listening!
