Why do you stay stuck even when you know you could do better? In this Jim's Life Coaching podcast, three coaches open up the brain of a life coach and explain how real change actually happens.

This is an honest conversation about mindset, men's mental health and getting unstuck.

Divisional franchisor Sue Thomas sits down with coaches James from Ballarat and Craig from North Lakes to explain how life coaching works, and why it is different from counselling or therapy.

They unpack why people stay stuck, why working harder quietly wrecks the rest of your life, and why the pain of staying the same has to outweigh the pain of change before anyone moves.

Craig shares why a cancer diagnosis became his wake-up call, and the story of a CEO of a $40 million company who had a Lamborghini in the driveway but was falling apart at home.

If you feel stuck in your work, your health or your relationships, this Jim's Life Coaching conversation shows you where change really starts.
