In a rut. Considering a life coach. But will it be a waste of money?

My DS has started school and I need to go back to work. When I had him, I quit my job and became a full time SAHM, then Covid happened and the nursery he went to a few mornings a week closed, so I didn’t even consider getting a job. All in all, I haven’t really worked in almost five years. Every time I look at any job ads I am filled with fear and doubt and dread. I have no confidence at my ability to do my old job!

But equally, I am bored, sad, and a bit depressed at home. Also DH and I could do with the extra income.

Someone suggested that I get a life coach.

Has anyone done it? Was it worthwhile?

I looked some up on social media and felt a little cynical. But I can’t carry on like this!

I’m also completely directionless so maybe I’m not the best candidate for a coach?

I would love to hear other people’s experiences if they got a life coach and what they got out of it! And I would love to know how they found someone they clicked with.

The life coach I know is just a gobshite who goes on about how she's been so successful in property in the past 20 years. Errrrrr, yeah.

I've used a trained therapist though, very experienced and excellent use of 6 weeks sessions. I still use techniques she taught me years later.

This book is pretty good to help identify what you like/don't like at work and might help you narrow down things to try

Looks like you can get it quite cheap second hand
