You may have found yourself wondering,
If you’ve never hired a coach,
Just what is all the hype about?
With this new self-care approach?
I’d like to clear up confusion
And help you understand
Just what a life coach does for you,
Until you know firsthand
How much does a life coach earn?
You’ve heard the rumor of millions
Truthfully, the range is extremely wide
We are just normal civilians
Another big myth: All clients are rich
Since programs are expensive
But for every client, and every budget
The options are extensive
Coaches are not therapists,
Treating trauma to help daily function
Therapy is past-focused, coaching is forward
So, we sometimes work in conjunction
When you are mentally healthy
And want to create and live your best life
A coach can help you understand
How your brain can give you strife
It’s wired for comfort and pleasure
Keeps you safe and avoids any pain
Conserves energy, in case of attack
That’s the outdated job of the brain
You may think the reason to hire a coach:
Advice and guidance in what you should do
The truth is, we’ll help you decide for yourself
For your life is in fact up to you
The job of a coach is to listen
And always lead the sessions
Show you thoughts you didn’t know that you had
By asking the really good questions
We all have ingrained beliefs
And we’d swear they all are so true
We learned them when we were little
And kept them deep down as we grew
Once we help you to realize
You can choose what you want to believe
It opens up a whole new world
Of great, big goals to achieve
Finally get to that weight goal
Organize your home
Stop trying to control other people
Less scrolling on your phone
Stop feeling so afraid
Make connections that are real
Move forward after a loss
Reconsider the guilt that you feel
Earn more money in business
Learn how to manage your time
Be the parent you want to be
Stop drinking so much wine
Find a program that fits your style
The one that will get the job done
A workshop, a group, or a membership
Or hire a coach one-on-one
Any coach that you work with
Will always believe in you
There will be a shift, a transition
As you see potential too
So, when you’re ready to bloom and grow
And experience something brand new
A life coach will introduce you to
The new and improved Future-You
