The internet is flooded with coaches.
And honestly, why not?
Anyone who makes full use of the massive information available online can build expertise and share their knowledge from the comfort of their home. Social media has also made coaching look like a very lucrative income stream. I felt that pull too.
But as much as I wanted to hire a coach, I couldn’t justify spending my lifetime of savings on coaching programs.
What I also noticed was this:
Most coaches were teaching how to coach others or how to get clients for a coaching business.
I fit into neither category.
So I kept asking myself a simple question.
Who has been my best coach so far?
The answer surprised me, but also felt obvious.
My journal.
Coaches help you look within yourself.
And that’s exactly what a journal with the right prompts does too.
That’s where the idea for Be Your Own Coach was born.
Coaching isn’t for everyone and that’s okay
I’m not saying coaching isn’t effective. It absolutely can be.
But the truth is:
- Not everyone can afford coaching
- And not everyone who can afford it can commit to fixed timings, calls, or long programs
Busy people, especially new moms, often feel lost after giving birth. They don’t necessarily need more advice. They need something self-paced, gentle, and grounding. Something that helps them find themselves again and rebuild their identity.
When I birthed my baby, I desperately wanted someone to guide me.
Instead, I was met with truckloads of “how to raise a baby” advice, most of which only created anxiety.
To make things harder, I wasn’t allowed to read or write for the first 40 days postpartum. Those days felt heavier than they should have, simply because I couldn’t write in my journal.
That’s when I realised something very clearly.
I missed my journal more than anything else.
My journal guides me.
It protects me.
It soothes me, like a lullaby I sing to myself on the pages.
I wish this guide existed back then
I truly wish a guide like Be Your Own Coach — or even AI-based journaling support — existed for me back then.
Today, ChatGPT-powered journal prompts help me become a better version of myself every single day. Not because they tell me what to do, but because they help me ask better questions.
And that’s the real shift.
Yes, I use AI for prompts in my journal because it is far more knowledgeable than I am, and when used mindfully, it doesn’t guide you wrong.
I’m not an expert.
I’m simply someone who created journals and guides for myself...tools that genuinely helped me in the long run and then decided to share them.
Your best life isn’t hidden somewhere outside of you.
It’s just one right question away.
And that’s exactly what Be Your Own Coach is designed to do.
