Last week you listened to a client's work stress, another client's family stress, and someone's "I just can't get started." You held all of it with patience. So who held yours?

This week is International Stress Awareness Week, and the people who help others manage stress are often the last to notice their own. The clocks just fell back, the evenings got darker, and the holiday season is about to fill every calendar, yours included.

Three small checks for this week:

Look at your calendar and mark one block that belongs only to you. Protect it like a client session.

Notice which sessions leave you energized and which leave you drained. Write it down without judging it.

Spend one conversation as the person being supported. A peer, a mentor, a fellow coach.

You can't pour from an empty cup, and your clients feel the difference when you're running on fumes.

What's one thing you're doing for your own stress this week? Tell us below.

Dark by 5pm, wide awake at 4am, and somehow craving carbs by mid-afternoon? If this week has you feeling off, there's a reason, and you're far from alone.

When the clocks shift, so does your internal rhythm. Your sleep, hunger hormones, mood and even blood sugar all take their cues from light. A few simple moves help your body catch up faster:

☀️ Get outside within an hour of waking, even for 10 minutes

🍳 Eat a protein-rich breakfast to anchor your day

📵 Dim screens an hour before bed

🚶 Take a short walk after dinner

Small adjustments now can carry you through the darker months with more energy and fewer slumps.

If next year's budget is nearly final, there's still time to make sure employee wellbeing gets a line of its own.

Wellness often gets folded into a broader benefits bucket, where it's easy to underfund or overlook. A dedicated line makes it easier to plan, measure, and protect.

When deciding what to include, look for support that fits into a workday, responds to what employees are dealing with (stress, sleep, midlife health, screen-heavy schedules), and offers both group and individual options.

Health coaches can deliver both: team workshops that build shared habits, and one-on-one coaching for employees who want personalized support.

Have a client on a GLP-1? Start with curiosity.

"How has your appetite changed?"
"How is your energy and strength?"
"When did you last have lab work done?"

Simple questions open the door to supporting the whole person, without judgment and within your scope.

Ever notice how some days you reach for your phone before you've even decided to? Or pour a second coffee out of habit, not because you wanted it?

Bruce Lee once said he didn't fear the man who had practiced 10,000 kicks once. He feared the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times.

I've been reading The Daily Stoic, and it made a similar point that stuck with me: when we repeat something enough, it stops being a choice. It becomes what we do without thinking. The habit runs on its own.

That's not always bad news. It means the reverse is also true. Practice checking your phone the second you feel bored, and boredom starts to mean phone, automatically. But practice pausing before you react, or reaching for water before coffee, or stepping outside before scrolling, and those can become just as automatic.

So here's the question: which behavior would you want to become your default, if you could choose?

And how many times have you practiced it? If the answer is once, let today be twice.

If your team's energy drops around 2 p.m. and never quite comes back, screens may be part of the problem.

Back-to-back video calls, hours of focused screen work, and constant notifications add up. Tired eyes, tension headaches, stiff necks, and mental fog are common signs of screen fatigue, and they tend to build as the day goes on.

A few simple habits can help:

◾️ The 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something about 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds
◾️ Camera-off or walking calls for meetings that don't need video
◾️ Meeting-free blocks for focused work
◾️ Short movement breaks between calls instead of stacking them end to end

None of these cost anything, and together they can make the workday feel noticeably lighter. Which one could your team try this week?

GLP-1s are changing how much our clients eat.

But eating less can mean missing out on important nutrients. Research shows about 1 in 5 GLP-1 users develop a nutritional deficiency within their first year, and a large share of the weight lost can be muscle.

The medication reduces appetite. Coaching helps clients protect their health on their weight loss journey.

Next week: how to start the conversation with a client on a GLP-1.

We're exploring this topic together inside the Virtual Health Coaches community.

If the salad that felt perfect a few weeks ago now leaves you flat, you might be adjusting to the fall.

At the end of September I stopped for coffee in Lucerne. It was sunny and 24 degrees here (75°F for my US friends), so to me it still felt like summer, and I ordered fruit and yogurt. The man ahead of me paid for squash soup in a little glass jar (so adorable), with a piece of bread on the side.

Summer for me. Fall for him.

By now it's October and I caught up to "team soup."

Fact is: as the light and temperature change, our cravings change too. Cool, crisp foods start to feel less satisfying, and warm, cooked meals start to hit the spot.

Research suggests our gut bacteria can shift a little with the time of year as well, most likely because our food does.

So if your body suddenly asks for soup, you might be naturally adjusting to the season, how amazing is that!

What's the first food you crave when the weather starts to change? Tell me in the comments.

Some of your most experienced people may be quietly struggling through symptoms they don't feel comfortable mentioning at work.

Perimenopause and menopause usually arrive in midlife, often right when women are stepping into senior roles. Disrupted sleep, brain fog, hot flashes, and mood shifts can affect focus and confidence, and many women manage all of it in silence.

World Menopause Day on October 18 is a good time to ask: does our workplace make it easy to talk about menopause?

A few practical changes can make a noticeable difference:

⚫️ Managers who know the basics of menopause and can respond with understanding when someone raises it
⚫️ Flexible start times or the option to work from home after a night of poor sleep
⚫️ Simple comfort adjustments, such as a desk fan, a seat near a window, or breathable uniform options for hot flashes
⚫️ A clear, private way to ask for support without having to explain everything

Our Menopause Matters workshop gives teams and managers a practical starting point, and individual coaching is available for employees who want personal support. To bring it to your workplace, email us: [email protected]

When your next client is going to ask if AI can do what you do. Here is the story I'd tell them.

A client of mine said she wanted to lose weight. We kept talking. What would that give you? "I want to feel better." What does that look like in your everyday life?

Several rounds later, she said it: "Honestly, when I stand outside my boys school for pick up and my thighs don't touch, that's when I have achieved my goal."

Oddly specific, I know, but that's what makes goals come alive.

It's not a number on the scale, nor a size on a tag. It is a moment she could see, feel and almost smell.

AI takes "lose weight" at face value and hands over a meal plan. It never asks what sits underneath. We Coaches do.

I created a guide that helps you understand your role in the world of AI. I created it for the Future of Health Coaching Virtual Retreat. If you couldn't join, I still want you to have access to it.
