Candid Coach Conversations

What if the person you're trying to become is someone you already were... just somewhere along the way you lost her?   In this episode of Candid Coach Conversations, Live Life Fully Coaches Kimberly Boyd and Mai Lee Eskelund sit down with Tiffanie Hughes... psychotherapist, Certified Live Life Fully Coach, former full-ride discus thrower, and the creator of Re-U... to talk about what happens after the healing work is done and how we find our way back to ourselves.   Tiffanie shares how she built Re-U, her six-step methodology for reclaiming, rebuilding, and reestablishing the version of you that got lost under everyone else's expectations.   She walks through the story of her own journey... caretaking for her grandmother at 26, booking a solo trip to New Zealand with everything she needed on her back, saving $10,000 to move to Germany on three job offers out of 250 applications, and eating rotten shark in Iceland just to prove she could do hard things. Along the way she and Mai Lee explore how awareness becomes the first and most important step, how coaching works by finding the right questions instead of handing over solutions, and how the opposite of uncertainty isn't certainty... it's self-trust.   In this conversation: 🌀 The six steps of Re-U... awareness, adaptation, identity, intuition, intention, and integration 🪞 The reason awareness comes first... you can't change a life you haven't honestly looked at 🎒 The solo trip to New Zealand that "changed her chemical makeup"... sprained ankle, Southern Cross, and all ✈️ Saving $10,000, sending 250 applications, and moving to Germany alone to find out who she really was 🦈 Tasting rotten shark in Iceland... "if it's not death, try it"... and what it taught her about tolerating discomfort 🤍 The truth that the opposite of uncertainty is self-trust, and how to be certain of yourself when nothing else is   One line from Tiffanie worth sitting with: "I can be scared and do it anyways. It's all these little experiences... if I can survive that, I can survive anything."   About Tiffanie Hughes Tiffanie is a psychotherapist and a certified Live Life Fully coach who created Re-U, a six-step system for reclaiming the version of yourself you may have lost along the way. Her work isn't solution-based... she helps people find the questions only they can answer, because that's where the real, authentic change lives.

What if the thing that scares you most is exactly where your freedom lives? In this episode of Candid Coach Conversations, Kimberly Boyd sits down with LaStacie Alexander-Johnson... LPC associate, Certified Live Life Fully coach, mother, and the self-proclaimed Queen of Doing It Afraid... to talk about what a Harley taught her about momentum, grief, and getting out of her own way. LaStacie shares the story of her first solo ride (five hours of stalling out, dropping the bike, and breaking 100 on the highway because a friend wouldn't stop until she caught up), the 36-hour Texas-to-California ride that tested everything she had, and the recent solo trip home to Louisiana where she finally let herself grieve a cousin she lost.

This is where it starts. In this first episode of Candid Coach Conversations, we're sharing the real story behind why we became coaches and what shaped the path that got us here. Because it didn't start with a perfect plan. It started with real life. For Shunta, it was believing there had to be a greater reason behind everything she went through. For me, it looked different. I didn't always believe I was built for greatness, but I did know I was going to prove people wrong. Different starting points, but both led to growth. In this episode, we talk about how your past shapes you without having to define you, why mindset matters more than most people realize, and how small shifts in how you think can change the direction of your life. We also share how coaching impacted us personally, and why the right people in your life can make all the difference when it comes to moving forward. If you've ever looked at your story and wondered what it all means or where it's leading, this is a conversation you need to hear.     If you're ready to get more clarity on where you are and where you want to go, start with the Free Coach Mastery & Self-Assessment Toolkit: https://llfully.com/coach-mastery-self-assessment-and-toolkit To learn more, visit: https://llfully.com/ Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kimberly.l.boyd.1 Or reach out directly: [email protected]
