The Global Academy of Coaching Podcast S2_Episode 2

Feb 08, 2026

Episode 2 is now live, and it’s one of the most personal episodes I have ever recorded.

In a very short period of time, I lost both my parents and went through a divorce. I remember thinking: “How do I keep going when my life has been shaken to the core?”

If you’ve ever faced loss, heartbreak, burnout, or a moment that changed you overnight, this episode is for you.

In just 13 minutes, I walk you through 4 powerful steps to bounce back from any setback—rooted in neuroscience and real-life tools that actually work. Not motivational quotes. Not “just think positive.” Real steps that help your nervous system regulate, your mind get clearer, and your heart find its strength again.

Here’s what I want you to take from this episode:

  1. You are not broken. You are in a human moment.
  2. Your resilience is not a personality trait. It’s a skill you can train.
  3. You can become stronger than this—without hardening your heart.

A small reflection for you today:

  • What is the one thing you’re currently trying to “power through” that actually needs compassion?
  • If your best friend was going through what you’re going through… what would you tell them?
  • What is one micro-step you can take today to support your recovery?

If this episode helps you, please share it with one person who needs it. That’s how this message travels. And if you feel called, a 5-star review truly helps more people discover the Global Academy of Coaching Podcast.
