From Disconnection to Confidence: How Coaching Helps You Reconnect

So many of the parents I work with come to me feeling torn in two directions, pulled between the demands of their professional lives and the emotional weight of their personal ones. As working parents, we don’t know how to go from disconnection to confidence.

We want to be more present. More connected. More ourselves.

But when we finally sit down at the end of a long day, we feel reactive, overstretched, or disconnected from the very people we love most.

One of my clients recently shared her experience after our coaching journey together, and I think it reflects exactly what so many of us go through:

After working with Tania I felt I was more able to enjoy my time with the children. I was struggling with one of them in particular and the work that we did allowed me to finally feel that I could be closer to her.

I also felt more proud of all my children and could see how wonderful they were in their own ways.”

This is what coaching often looks like – not just surface-level shifts, but a deeper emotional re-anchoring. When we’re able to see clearly again – ourselves, our children, our partners – we stop trying to fix or control, and start connecting.

What’s Actually Blocking Moving from Disconnection to Confidence and Connection?

Sometimes, it’s not about the to-do list or the logistics. It’s about what we’re still carrying.

This client shared that our work together helped her revisit and resolve certain past moments that were quietly shaping how she was showing up as a parent and partner:

The sense of physical closeness with my loved ones comes from working around certain past moments that were difficult for me to face, and we faced them and solved them with Tania.”

This is the heart of coaching: not to “fix” you, but to create a space where you can safely explore what’s underneath the surface. When we do that, something powerful happens: we free up space to feel again. To connect again. To own our story instead of being defined by it.

Therapy Helped, But Coaching Created Momentum

Many of my clients have spent years in therapy before they arrive at coaching. That work is often essential, but it’s not always enough on its own to shift how we move forward in day-to-day life.

I was in therapy for many years and working with Tania finally gave some tangible results and closure with the way I perceived myself in the world… I was not able to connect to my inner confidence until I realised a few things that liberated the way I see myself.”

Coaching is often the bridge between awareness and action.

We don’t just unpack the past; we ask, how is this still showing up today? And more importantly, how do you want to respond now?

From Victim Mindset and Disconnection to Confidence Growth Mindset

This is one of the most powerful transformations I see in coaching:

I feel I moved from a victim mindset to a growth mindset.”

This doesn’t mean ignoring hard things. It means realizing you are no longer powerless in the face of them.

You can choose how you engage.
You can shift the story.
You can take small, intentional steps that feel aligned—not forced.

And that’s what creates lasting change.

Life Is Still Full But You’re More in Control

This client didn’t walk away with a “perfect” life (none of us do). She still feels stretched. She still manages conflicts. But the difference?

She feels more content.
More confident.
More in tune with what matters.

I do feel happier and more content and in control. I feel better about myself overall and can connect to my intuition of what is important to me. I manage to feel more accepting of my partner and kids and less triggered and judgemental.”

That’s what coaching can offer:
Not a quick fix.
But a grounded return to yourself.
A shift from surviving… to responding with intention.

If any of this resonates, I’d love to invite you to reflect:

✨ What’s one area of your life where you feel stuck or disconnected?
✨ What would change if you could show up there with more confidence and calm?
✨ And what story might you be ready to rewrite?

If you’re curious about coaching and how it might support you, you can always reach out for a discovery call. There’s no pressure, just a conversation to explore what’s possible.

You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
