The keto diet may have achieved mainstream popularity as a weight-loss strategy, but it has also piqued the interest of athletes looking to optimize performance as well as body composition.

Build the Skills of a Compassionate Coach With Diana Bishop
Diana Bishop (with her incredible wisdom) is back on the podcast to share her story with those who want to understand how to best support their clients in a way that is nurturing, supportive, affirming, and client-led. We consider Diana to be a health coaching industry expert, and we are sure you will get as much out of this conversation as we did.

In this episode, she shares with us what she is calling post-pandemic reality and what we can do about this new type of collective/societal trauma. Make sure you are ready to take notes on the 10 questions Diana has for making sure you are aware as a coach of how to best present yourself to clients with trauma. She also digs into how she attracts and identifies clients who are dealing with trauma. Not everyone identifies as having trauma (even post-pandemic) and that can be a scary subject to broach.
