When I caught myself feeling jealous of my clients

I’ll admit it, sometimes I get jealous of my clients 🫣

Yep, the coach who preaches alignment, celebrates wins and helps women create calm and clarity in their business, sometimes feels a little pang of envy too.

After a full day of coaching calls, both 1:1 sessions and inside the Life Aligned Business® Mastermind, I shut my laptop, stretched and just sat there for a moment. My heart was bursting.

One of my clients had just launched a new offer she’d been dreaming about for months. Another had her biggest sales week yet. Someone else told me she finally had white space in her calendar again after years of chaos.

It’s the kind of day that fills me with so much gratitude for what I do.

But when I went upstairs to Lee that night, full of excitement, sharing all the stories and wins from the day, I caught myself saying something I didn’t expect “Why can’t I do that for myself?”

It wasn’t a pity moment. It was an awareness moment.
Because the truth is, it’s so much easier to see the magic, the potential and the strategy in someone else.

The coach’s paradox

As coaches, we hold space for others to grow.
We listen deeply.
We ask the right questions.
We guide people to find their own clarity, courage and next step.

But when it comes to ourselves, our own business, our own dreams, it’s different.

We get in our heads.
We overthink.
We second guess.
We can’t see what’s right in front of us because we’re too close to it.

It’s not because we don’t know what to do, it’s because we’re human.

That’s the paradox: the same gift that allows us to help others so powerfully often becomes the reason we can’t see our own path clearly.

Coaches need coaches. Leaders need mentors. Humans need humans.

That moment with Lee reminded me why I invest in my own mentors and coaches.

Because no matter how capable, experienced or self aware you are, having someone hold space for you changes everything.

Someone to help you see the things you can’t.
Someone to call you forward with compassion, not pressure.
Someone who helps you stay anchored in your vision when your brain wants to spiral.

That’s why I’ll always believe in support, at every level of business.

It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of wisdom.

The beautiful truth about jealousy

When I sat with that feeling a little longer, I realised it wasn’t jealousy at all.

It was pride.

Because if I can be “jealous” of my clients’ wins, it means they’re winning.
It means they’re creating momentum.
It means they’re doing the work and reaping the rewards.

And honestly, that fills me with the deepest kind of joy.

It’s a reminder that this work matters, that transformation is happening and that I get to be a part of it.

The takeaway

If you ever catch yourself feeling jealous of someone else’s success, pause before you judge it.

That feeling is simply showing you what’s possible for you too.
It’s a mirror of what your heart is ready to experience next.

And if you’ve been feeling stuck, lost in your own head or unable to see your next step clearly, maybe it’s time to let someone else hold space for you.

Because clarity, strategy and confidence come faster when you don’t have to do it alone.

If you’re craving that kind of support, where someone helps you see your blind spots, simplify the chaos and realign your business so it actually works around your life, you have a few ways to get it:

• 1:1 Coaching → Deep, personalised support to move through your next big season.
• VIP Week → A focused, high impact week to create clarity and action fast.
• Life Aligned Business® Mastermind → A supportive space for growth, strategy and community with like minded women.

You don’t need to carry it all alone, lovely.
You just need the right support to see what’s already possible for you.
