Feeling the squeeze?

You’re not alone.

There’s a season - often in midlife - when you realise you’re being pulled in every direction.

Your career is in full flight. You’re managing ambitious workloads, leading teams, showing up for others, and often serving as a role model - whether you signed up for that or not. At the same time, your family needs you in complex ways: children growing into their own, aging parents needing more support, relationships shifting in the background.

This is the squeeze. And it’s very real.

Many of my coaching clients are in this exact season - stretched thin, outwardly succeeding, inwardly craving space. They’re wondering how to keep delivering without running on empty. How to keep leading while still feeling like themselves.

If any of that resonates, here are a few questions worth pausing on:

• What part of my life feels most out of alignment right now - and what’s one small shift I could make?

• Whose expectations am I still trying to meet - and are they still relevant?

• What would support actually look like for me right now?

This is a good place to start.

This chapter can be overwhelming and confusing - and it’s also full of potential. You can choose to lead from alignment, not just obligation. To show others what it means to succeed with boundaries, not in spite of them.

And yes - I feel the squeeze too. The constant recalibration between work, family, ambition, and simply being human. Coaching doesn’t mean having it all figured out - it means being willing to pause, reflect, and realign. I remind myself of that often!

If you’re feeling the squeeze, maybe this is your sign to pause. Coaching offers the space to reflect, reset, and move forward with intention.

If this hit home, let’s make space for you. Get in touch.
