Chris Leather Coaching

12/05/2026

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. I recently sat down for a conversation with Jax Beatty, Beckie Barron, and The Midlife Coach - Sue Ashford, and we got onto the topic of what happens when you just... stop feeling like yourself.

Whether it's because of a breakup, becoming a parent, or a big career shift, there’s that weird period where you’re grieving the "old you" and you don't really know who the "new you" is yet.

We talked about the "chaos" of those transitions and how to actually start finding your spark again when your life story feels a bit disrupted. It was a really honest chat and I think a lot of people will relate to it.

The new episode is up now: "I Don’t Recognise Myself Anymore."

Have a listen and let me know what you think in the comments.

Most people would’ve given up… No Options with Ty Gipson didn’t.

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 8. Kidney failure at 30. Then a life-changing transplant.

But what stood out most wasn’t the struggle, it was the mindset.

“No options. You just keep going.”

This conversation hit differently. Real, raw, and honestly something a lot of people need to hear right now.

If you’re going through something tough, this one’s worth your time.

Today I sit down with Beckie Sorby about trauma (Mnemodynamic Therapist) to talk about what trauma really feels like, and how healing is possible.

We cover how trauma can be small, quiet experiences, how your body remembers it, and why triggers sometimes make you react in ways that don’t feel like “you.”

Love this! Does it help or hinder...

After 10 months away grinding at my businesses, I'm BACK with a raw chat on men's mental health! 🔥

Joined my biz partner Charles (27, Dorset hustler) and mate James (45, Yorkshire tiler) to unpack what it REALLY means to be a man in 2025.

What if the real strength isn’t in staying silent, but in finally saying what’s been on your mind? Listen in and see.

We shred macho myths, dive into 2024 Google trends (anxiety, depression, burnout exploding!), and share gut-wrenching stories: University isolation, grief, booze & soul-crushing drops.

We shared our own way of living life from whole-foods, fitness, ice-cold plunges, phone-free sleep hacks.

Dating apps? Swipe hell, be real, embrace rejection!

Social media traps? Delete & detox.

Final thoughts: Talk it out, chase joy, start small, build unbreakable routines. Health's your foundation!

Perfect for your run or commute. Listen now & level up! 💪 Who's tuning in? 👇

If you have any tips to look after your own well-being, please share in the comments box.

Hey everyone 👋 It’s been a while since I last posted, I’ve been busy building a new business.

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot and I’m on the hunt for fresh recommendations in the personal growth space. I’ve made my way through most of my current collection and would love to hear what’s inspired you recently in the world of books.

Here are a few books that really made an impact on me:

📖 Breath by James Nestor
Reminded me that no matter what we eat or how much we exercise, none of it matters unless we’re breathing correctly. It completely changed the way I think about health and longevity.

📖 Attached by Amir Levine & Rachel Heller
Opened my eyes to attachment styles and how they shape relationships, friendships, and communication.

📖 Freedom from Anxiety by Hayley Austin
Full of practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, with the reminder that we don’t have to be at the mercy of it.

I’ve also written a new blog, click below to check it out. Would love your thoughts and, of course, your book suggestions!

✨ Becoming the Best Version of You ✨

Change is never easy, self-doubt, stress, and old habits can keep us stuck. But with self-discipline (not fleeting motivation), everything becomes possible.

In my latest blog, I share how I'm transforming my health, confidence, and mindset by:

💪 Reshaping my diet & exercise routine
📚 Building mental strength through reading
🪞 Choosing self-honesty and daily action

Our growth is your responsibility and our freedom.

👉 Read the full story and start reflecting on the changes you want to make 👇

Change isn’t about motivation, it’s about self-discipline. By reshaping your diet, exercise, and mindset through reading, you can build confidence and growth you never thought was possible.

🌟 A Heartfelt Podcast Episode on Grief 🌟

Grief doesn't wait for the right moment; it can strike unexpectedly, leaving us shattered and emotionally broken. Today, I had a heart-warming conversation with my Mum, a dedicated retired Palliative Care Nurse. Together, we delved into her encounters with grief in end-of-life care and reflected on the loss of my dear Dad.

The timing felt right as January marks the anniversary of my father's passing, prompting me to do this episode.

For all those navigating the turbulent waters of grief, we extend our hand to you. In the midst of darkness, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon.💖
