The Light makes me Whole - Song of the Day

Song written by yours truly - 🎵🎼

A Message to New Coaches Learning to Let Go

“It’s the ballad I forgot—
A song beneath the weight,
Calling me back from clenched fists,
To open hands, to something great.”

If you're a new coach, there's a good chance you’ve felt it—that tight grip on control. That need to get everything right, prove your worth, and carry every client’s success on your shoulders. You entered this journey to serve and uplift… but the pressure? It's real.

The lyrics above speak to a transformation that every coach must pass through, often more than once: the journey from control to trust, from anxiety to alignment, from external validation to internal truth.

Verse 1: The Weight of Control

“I thought I had to hold on tight,
To every fear, to every fight,
Believing if I lose control,
The world would break and swallow whole.”

For many new coaches, the early days feel like walking on a tightrope. You hold on tight—overthinking, overdelivering, overcompensating. The fear is that if you let go, something will fall apart. But here's the truth: gripping tightly doesn’t make you more powerful—it makes you tired.

That tightness in your chest? The overwhelm? That’s your nervous system asking for relief. It’s not weakness—it’s wisdom.

Chorus: The Spark of Awakening

“I’m stepping out of that spark,
Releasing grips that held me hard—
The wild flame in my soul,
The light that makes me whole.”

As a coach, your greatest power is not in how much you know, but in how fully you show up. Your calm presence. Your grounded energy. Your trust in the process. That’s the flame. That’s what clients respond to.

This is the pivot—from efforting to embodied energy. From solving to holding space. From controlling outcomes to trusting the transformation.

From controlling outcomes
to trusting the transformation.

The Gift of Coaching: It Starts With You

“I don’t need to wear that mask,
Or grasp the reins so tight…”

Every coach has their “mask” at first—the persona that tries to be perfect, polished, or always inspiring. But the real magic happens when you coach from your wholeness, not your performance.

You don’t need to pretend you have it all together. In fact, your ability to model vulnerability, self-trust, and release is what gives your clients permission to do the same.

Final Chorus: Empowered and Free

“With every breath, with every step,
I’m claiming life, I’m finding depth—
I carry strength inside my soul,
The song that makes me whole.”

This is what coaching becomes when you let go of the need to "get it right": a dance with the sacred. Your intuition awakens. Your sessions become conversations, not checklists.

You begin to witness miracles—small, quiet, powerful shifts—in your clients and in yourself.

Remember the Song

You became a coach because something deep inside whispered, There’s more.
You felt the call to help others rise—but don’t forget to rise, too.

Let the tension go. Loosen the grip.
Let yourself be led.
And most of all, remember the ballad you forgot—
the one that’s been singing in you all along.

Tony Robbins once said:

"The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably live with."

As a coach, uncertainty isn’t your enemy—it’s your dance partner.

From a Christian perspective:

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

You don’t need to be strong all the time. Divine strength flows when we surrender the illusion of control.

And from the East…

Buddhism teaches non-attachment—not as passivity, but as freedom. When we release the need to control, we make space for truth to arise.

Hinduism’s Bhagavad Gita reminds us: “You have a right to your actions, but never to your results.” The role of the coach is to act with intention and surrender the outcome.

Let This Be Your Practice

Let your coaching rise from a quiet, steady flame—not the frantic effort to prove, but the peaceful presence of someone who trusts the process.

You don’t have to push harder.
You just have to remember the song.
