Transform your Life & Career from Stuck to Thriving
Does this sound familiar? You wake up with a pit in your stomach, thinking “How am I going to get through another day of this?” You feel stuck, stressed, unmotivated, or disconnected from what truly matters. Maybe it’s work, maybe it’s life in general, but deep down, you know something needs to change. You’ve lost touch with your sense of purpose, and you’re not sure where to begin finding it again.
Success stories
Real Transformations
One of the best ways to understand the power of coaching is to hear from those who’ve walked this path already. Here are a few success stories from professionals I’ve worked with, in their own words:
HELENA
"Undertaking coaching sessions has been a revelation, enabling me to break a toxic cycle of exhaustion, stress and tension that I had gotten myself into trying to deliver an ever-increasing impossible workload. Ciaran, in a calm and gentle manner, pressed me to examine why I was pushing myself beyond what was needed, and helped me tap into resources and tools I already had to transform my situation."
CAROL
"I wanted to get up in the morning feeling happier and healthier… It was a difficult decision to go to a coach at the beginning but I’m so glad I did. My life has completely changed since doing coaching with Ciaran. I learned so much in the twelve weeks about myself – around my career path and what fulfills me. I changed my career and identified everything that was important to me. I couldn’t recommend him enough.”

![Is work creeping into your personal time? It’s time to set some boundaries to protect your well-being. Here’s how:
? Step 1: Prioritise What Matters
• Why? Your personal time is as valuable as your work time. Focus on what recharges you—family time, hobbies, or relaxation.
• How? Schedule this activity like a work meeting. Make it non-negotiable.
? Step 2: No Emails After 7 PM
• Why? Checking emails after hours blurs work-life lines and leads to burnout. Set this boundary to recharge and boost productivity.
• How? Tell colleagues: “Hi [Name], I’m not checking emails after 7 PM to maintain balance. I’ll reply first thing in the morning. Thanks for understanding!”
? Step 3: Set Clear Work Hours
• Why? Defined start and end times help you transition between work and personal life.
• How? Use alarms or reminders to signal the end of your workday. When it goes off, step away from your workspace.
? Step 4: Limit After-Hours Notifications
• Why? Notifications can drag you back into work mode. Turning them off helps you stay present in your personal life.
• How? Use “Do Not Disturb” or turn off specific app notifications after hours.
? Your Turn:
Commit to setting one boundary today! Share it in the comments—let’s support each other in creating healthier work habits.
