"I think that when coaches start to get lost in the science, the strategy, and the tactics, they’ve lost sight of the change that client actually wants in their life."

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase speaks with Laura Poburan of The Unfiltered Coach and L2 Fitness on why her role as a mentor in the health and wellness space is more relevant in 2021 than it has ever been. After all, people around the world have been forced to reevaluate their priorities throughout the last several months.

On nutrition coaching clients, Laura says, “They’re looking for something so much deeper now. They’ve been forced to look at their lives in a new way. They’ve been forced to take account of everything in their life that they aren’t happy about—everything in life that they’re using food to cope with. They’re ready for a deeper transformation. They’re ready to change who they are as people; not just continue to chase the same arbitrary goals year after year after year.”

Laura views nutrition coaching as a vehicle to access different parts of her clients’ lives—to show them that nutrition is just one small aspect, but one that they can use as a foundation for more powerful, holistic change. She calls our eating patterns “the vehicle into our subconscious” which allows us to see where we are falling into disempowering patterns where we are covering up, or numbing, the things in our lives that we are not happy with. Oftentimes, we use food to do just that, if only because food is so accessible.

"When you’re working with people on their deep-rooted triggers, it’s not your role to solve it, but to guide them along to help them discover how to overcome those challenges themselves."

As the saying goes: A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. This year has placed limiting beliefs on many, or even reinforced limiting beliefs that they already had going into 2020. As much as nutrition coaches may want to swoop in and impose their own beliefs on their clients, they’ll quickly find that this approach will backfire.

Powerful coaches don’t come in to “fix” their clients. Instead, they look to step back and ask questions that raise their clients’ awareness until they are finally ready to receive their lessons. It is only when what you have to say is meaningful to a person that they will act on it.
