Ep 93: Been Gone Too Long? Here’s How to Reboot Your Coaching Business Without the Shame Spiral
Wondering how to come back to your coaching business after time away? Whether you took a few months off or a few years, this episode of The Craft of Coaching will help you return with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
Many coaches step away from their businesses—but when it’s time to return, the shame spiral can hit hard. You might wonder if people noticed you disappeared, if you're still “legit,” or where to even begin.
We’re here to dismantle all of that. This episode walks you through how to re-enter your coaching practice without apology or hustle, offering real-world steps and mindset shifts to support your return. You’ll get a 3-part framework for reconnecting with your “why,” taking consistent action, and honoring who you’ve become during your break.
Most importantly, you’ll learn how to release the guilt and reclaim your role—not despite your time away, but because of what it gave you.
Coaching is not a straight path. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to come back.
And you’re allowed to make this comeback honest, human, and powerful.
