What does it mean to truly weave your life experiences into a coaching practice, and how does supervision support not only your professional growth, but your personal wellbeing? In this episode of the Coaching Catalysts Podcast, co-host Sarah Bramall sits down with supervisor, coach, and lifelong food lover Nicole Freeman to explore her unconventional journey from accounting to entrepreneurship to coaching supervision. Together, they explore finding your coaching niche, the value of lived experience, restorative practices, and why supervision is like therapy for your coaching (with a “snow globe” metaphor you won’t forget). This episode offers inspiration, practical insight for coaches at all levels, and an invitation to make calm and connection the centre of your coaching journey.Highlights:00:00 Intro: Elevating your coaching and Nicole’s unusual career path 01:13 Chickenpox curveballs and prepping for in-person events 01:54 Nicole’s story03:09 The powerful role of lived experience for new coaches 05:23 Mindset, confidence, and coaching diverse clients 06:02 Niche or not?
