What if you’re not broken… just disconnected from your own strength?

In this rich and reflective episode, Norma O’Kelly, Systemic and Transition Coach invites us into a deeper understanding of wholeness, identity, and the quiet power of simply being seen.

We explore the principles behind systemic coaching, where the focus shifts from fixing problems to reconnecting with inner resourcefulness and the places we come from.

This isn’t surface-level coaching, it’s rooted in authenticity, belonging, and the courage to surrender to change.

Key Takeaways:

• You’re not broken — you’re whole, and capable of regeneration.
• Resourcefulness isn’t about learning more; it’s about remembering what’s already within you.
• Family roles and systems shape identity more than we realise.
• “Right sizing” ourselves in family and professional spaces creates healthier dynamics.
• Being useful in coaching is more powerful than just being helpful.
• Authenticity fosters deeper, more impactful coaching relationships.
• Most clients are more ready for deep work than they think.
• Endings aren’t failures, they’re often the doorway to something meaningful.
• Transitions are hard and support, connection, and place matter deeply.
• Feedback from trusted people can reveal strengths we’ve forgotten or overlooked.

In Their Words:

• "I thought I was broken."
• "What's the point?"
• "Let go to let come."
