Coaches Asked Me to Get Into Coaching

It’s funny how life unfolds sometimes.

After 12 years in corporate finance, I quit my job without a backup plan. No detailed roadmap - just a deep sense that I needed a break to find some clarity.

What seemed like fun at first quickly turned into a big puzzle to solve. But that puzzle became the most important project of my life.

Over the last two years, I’ve experimented with more things than I ever thought I would.I got into inner work, meditated for hours, and wrote over a thousand pages of journaling. I started strength training consistently and took nearly ten trips, exploring both the world and myself along the way.

On the work side, I dabbled in a bit of everything. I tried active investing, stepped into real estate (and stepped out just as fast when I realized it wasn’t my game), and started my own trading company, exploring opportunities in FMCG and sustainability. I offered finance coaching informally for two years, consulted with project management firms, and even joined business coaching and human behavior workshops to understand how people grow and make decisions.

Somewhere along this journey, I met multiple coaches and facilitators who all said the same thing:

“You should get into coaching.”

They saw qualities in me that I hadn’t fully owned yet - the ability to listen, to simplify complex ideas, and to make sense of things that feel overwhelming.

And so, I decided to follow their nudge.

Of all the directions I could take, personal finance coaching felt like the most natural fit - it’s the lowest hanging fruit for me. After all, I’ve lived it, taught it, and built my own version of freedom through it.

But now, I bring something deeper to the table - the human side of finance, the mindset and self-awareness that make money management sustainable.

So here we are. A new chapter, a new path - and a journey I’m excited to share with you.

Let’s keep learning and growing together.
