Why You Need a New Source of Strength

One of the most overlooked challenges facing high-performing women isn’t a lack of intelligence, opportunity, or drive. It’s the deeply ingrained belief that they must do everything alone.

Many of the women I work with are the primary earners in their families, the backbone of their workplaces, and the emotional anchors in their communities. They are capable, driven, and fiercely self-reliant.

But over time, self-reliance becomes more than a strength. It becomes a trap.

These women are so used to carrying the weight of responsibility that asking for help feels uncomfortable—almost unnatural. Delegating feels like a risk. Receiving support feels like weakness. Even in moments of exhaustion, they push forward, believing that holding everything together is simply what’s required of them.

This mindset doesn’t just impact their health and relationships. It also blocks them from stepping fully into the next chapter of their lives.

I see it most clearly in women who feel called to become life coaches—women who have endured, overcome, and grown from real-life experience and want to use that experience to serve others. They feel the pull toward coaching, but they don’t pursue it. Why? Because to make the leap, they would have to stop carrying it all—and they don’t know how.

This is a spiritual problem, not just a logistical one. When you believe you are the only one holding it all together, you forget where your strength actually comes from. And when your energy is constantly spent on being the source for everyone else, you lose touch with the Source that is supposed to be guiding you.

That’s one of the core insights behind my new ebook, Prioritize Your Calling: A Quick-Start Guide to Becoming a Life Coach with Credibility, Purpose, and a Clear Path Forward. I wrote it for women who feel the desire to coach but can’t find a starting point that feels honest, grounded, and attainable.

In one of the chapters, I explore the way over-functioning blocks not just your time and energy, but your spiritual clarity. If your calling is real—and many of you know that it is—then it didn’t come from nowhere. It came from something higher. And the same Source that gave you the desire to coach can also support you in making that calling real. But you can’t experience that support if you’re unwilling to stop doing everything yourself.

The ebook offers more than reflection. It gives you structure.

It walks through what coaching is, why certification matters, and how to begin thinking about building a business that fits your values, your vision, and your existing responsibilities. More importantly, it invites you to consider that your credibility doesn’t come from your ability to power through everything alone. It comes from your willingness to be in alignment with something deeper—and to trust that your calling deserves to be prioritized.

If you’ve spent your life being the one everyone depends on, and you’ve wondered whether it’s finally time to let something support you, this is a good place to begin.
