Case Study: A mindset shift with a new outlook on life

Client: Anonymous



Before beginning her coaching journey, the client described herself as insecure, worn out, and stuck in a negative mindset. She often expected the worst and struggled to take time for herself or engage in activities that truly mattered to her. The uncertainty and lack of direction in her life left her feeling disconnected from her own needs and desires.


Through a personalized coaching program with Elizabeth at Sturdy Coaching, the client was guided to explore her goals, set meaningful boundaries, and prioritize self-care. The coaching sessions focused on helping her gain clarity about her next steps in life, encouraging her to take action and build the confidence she needed to pursue her goals.


The coaching process involved setting realistic, achievable goals that aligned with the client’s values and desires. Elizabeth helped her define and reinforce personal boundaries, encouraging her to say no to what didn’t serve her and yes to what truly mattered. The client was also supported in developing new habits that brought more calm, confidence, and focus into her daily life.


After coaching, the client reported a significant shift in her mindset and outlook on life. She gained clarity on what she wanted to achieve and developed a strong desire and willingness to take action toward her goals—something she hadn’t felt in a long time. She described herself as more calm, confident, focused, and even more active, having set and achieved the right goals for herself. By becoming more aware of her needs and learning to prioritize herself, she experienced a profound transformation.


“I finally got some clarity on what I want to do in the next stage of my life. Not even clarity, but an actual desire and willingness to take actions and do my best to achieve the goal. I haven't had this strong feeling about what I want to do in a looong time—thank you. I am more calm, confident, focused, and sporty (because we set the right goals). I defined my boundaries, kept saying no, made conscious choices, took time for myself, and took up things that mattered to me, but I hadn't prioritized them before."


The client gained a new perspective on her own humanity, recognizing that it’s okay to be human and to have needs, wishes, and goals. She learned to value herself and prioritize her well-being, embracing the idea that she matters and is worthy of care and attention.


"That it didn't matter how stressful or grey the day was, I always left the coaching session feeling more optimistic, energetic, and hopeful!"


Reflecting on her year, the client realized how much value coaching had added to her life. Despite the turbulence and insecurity she faced, she found joy in everyday moments, spent quality time with loved ones, explored new hobbies, and overcame difficulties with greater ease. She discovered what she truly wanted and stayed true to herself, embracing each day with excitement and optimism—a stark contrast to her previous focus on the negatives.


This case study highlights the transformative power of coaching in shifting from insecurity and overwhelm to clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of self-worth. Through consistent support and the development of healthy habits, the client was able to reconnect with her true self and create a life filled with purpose and joy.
