There are a lot of experienced coaches out there that have a lot to share with younger coaches and their experience and wisdom can really benefit us and benefit our profession in general.

Coach Anne Overall

Introduction

I’m Dr. Moira. I’m a college professor, instructor, coach, and passionate mentor to health coaches around the world, but I haven’t always been that confident and committed to my coaching career. I wasn’t sure if I could make it work or even what the best approach was to success and fulfillment. I decided to step up and step into my dream of guiding health coaches on their journey from Hesitant Health Coach to Committed Health Coach. With a unique approach to coach growth, the Health Coach Catalyst program creates a strong hexagonal effect. The Coaching Hive podcast is your glimpse into the concepts, ideas, and approaches that underscore the Hexagonal Effect while giving you the opportunity to implement tools and tips along the way. Are you ready to dive into today’s podcast? Then let’s go and remember that this podcast is family friendly so go ahead and play it through your speakers!

In this podcast episode, I have an opportunity to sit down with an overall a national birth certified health and wellness coach. She is truly blazing a trail forward and really supporting not only her clients, but other coaches as well. One of the ways that she has been giving back is through clubhouse. She has been helping lead clubhouse rooms on a variety of topics for health and wellness coaches. She gives us her time and energy with such joy that it's contagious. So, without further ado, let's jump right into this conversation so that you too can experience this contagious joy that Anne shares.

Anne: Well, it's a pleasure to be here. Thank you.

Moira: To set the stage. Could you share just a little bit about your background as well as what led you to help them on this coaching?

Anne: Sure. Well, I'm an older coach. I'm in my early sixties and I raised, I was in the Air Force. Initially loved the Air Force served my four years, but I had to get out to start a family because I'm married a wonderful Marine and they had stationed us apart from each other a lot. So, we decided, you know, I would go ahead and do that. I have three beautiful children and I needed to work. So I wanted to stay home. And I, I opened a licensed daycare facility in my home, and it was, it was a great experience. I had over 75 children go through my daycare, some of them up to eight years, their families. Yeah. So, I have a big extended family. Now a lot of kids that I feel like are partially, you know, my kids, but yeah, I did that 17 years when my youngest went off to school finally to college, I decided to stop because it really had wrecked my health. I was working 50 hours a week taking care of up to eight children, two babies for preschoolers and two before and after school, along with raising my own three kids, I took care of all my own business.
