“I didn’t know how much I was holding in—until I finally let go.”
I held it in for years:
▪️ The pressure to always be “on”
▪️ The fear of being too much
▪️ The guilt of wanting more
I thought I had to be grateful.
Polished.
Unshakable.
But underneath all of that?
I was exhausted.
Letting go didn’t mean falling apart.
It meant finally being honest.
It meant becoming free.

You don’t have to carry it all.

What sets a high-value coaching package apart from a generic one?
Inside this month’s issue of Breakthrough Author Magazine, Master Coach Gretchen Hydo breaks it down in her feature article:
“Elevate Your Coaching Practice: Crafting High-Value Coaching Packages That Transform.”
If you’re a coach who wants to stand out, not just with strong delivery, but with a signature client experience that creates real, lasting transformation, this piece is a must-read.
You’ll learn:
🔹 Why package features matter more than session count
🔹 How to build tailored transformation journeys
🔹 What real support looks like between sessions
🔹 How to layer in engaging, experiential components that boost perceived (and real) value
This is for the coach who’s ready to move beyond good and become unforgettable.

Want to be a bolder, more effective coach? Start with this book.
This month’s pick: The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier.
Short, practical, and refreshingly direct, this book will change the way you coach and how you think about coaching.
Why I recommend it:
It teaches you how to say less and ask more—so your clients get to the heart of their challenges faster.
It’ll sharpen your listening, strengthen your presence, and help you stay out of advice-giving mode (a trap even seasoned coaches fall into).
This one’s perfect for both new and experienced coaches who want to deepen their impact.

But something inside still felt trapped.
You lead teams.
Hold space.
Keep it together.
But the pressure to perform
—to always have it all figured out—
starts to chip away at something deeper.
Until your truth has nowhere else to go.
This client came into our space with the weight of secrets
she didn’t know she was still carrying.
And when she finally gave herself permission to name them—
to be witnessed, without judgment—
something shifted.
She called it the beginning of her freedom.
And she’s not alone.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself
to be accepted or respected—this story is for you.
Write “Seen” in the comments
if this gave you the permission you didn’t know you needed.
