Self-connection is at the heart of holistic coaching. In order to see the whole picture of your clients as human beings, you have to understand your own mind, emotions, and nervous system and how they impact you both personally and professionally. Even if you’re not a coach, connecting to yourself is essential to connecting more deeply in your relationships and with the world around you.
That’s why I am so excited about this conversation with Master Coach, Maria Hendershot. Maria and I have known each other for a while and have worked together in different capacities, including as co-authors on our best-selling book, She Rises. She took part in my holistic Master Coach Training program, and I’ve had the opportunity to witness her become so masterful in her ability to articulate coaching concepts that truly help others transform.
Like many of us, Maria was initially trained in a cognitive approach focused on how thoughts create feelings and shape our results. Through deeper training, she began to understand what was happening in the nervous system, what was getting stored in the body, and why patterns get recycled. Today, you’ll hear how that understanding opened a whole new space for growth, both for herself and for the women she works with.
As you listen to this episode, I hope you take in how important it is to be kind and gentle with yourself, and to really see and accept all of you. When you can do that, you create space for greater wholeness, deeper self-connection, and more meaningful, lasting change in your life and in how you support others. Let’s dive in!
What you’ll learn:
- How Maria combines different methodologies and tools to support transformation
- Why a mindset-only approach can only take you so far before it starts working against you
- How self-connection impacts your ability to create change in every area of your life
- How Maria uses her training as a Tiny Habits coach to support aligned action
- Why celebrating small wins isn’t frivolous, but essential to shaping new patterns
