  Ep. 164 When is it time to work with a coach? 03.08.2026 16min

  NEW COURSE: How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/ Watch my TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE_7I6vDKrI Episode SummaryHow do you know if it's actually time to work with a coach?The truth is, coaching isn't just for people whose lives are falling apart. It's for people who know they're capable of more but feel stuck figuring out how to get there. In this episode, I explain the difference between coaching and therapy, the five biggest signs that coaching could help you move forward, and why having someone in your corner can help you overcome the blind spots, fears, and resistance that keep you from making lasting change.I also walk you through the different types of coaches that exist—from career and business coaches to relationship, nutrition, and life coaches—so you can better understand what kind of support fits your current season of life. Finally, I take you behind the scenes of my Own Your Life System, the six-pillar coaching framework I've developed to help twenty-somethings build confidence, create meaningful goals, establish healthy routines, improve communication, and take ownership of their lives.Whether you're considering coaching with me or simply wondering if coaching is the right next step for you, this episode will help you recognize when it's time to stop trying to figure everything out alone.In This Episode We DiscussThe difference between coaching and therapyFive signs it's time to work with a coachWhy knowing what to do isn't the same as doing itHow fear and resistance keep you stuckWhy life transitions are easier with supportThe different types of coaches availableWhat to look for when choosing a coachThe six pillars of my Own Your Life SystemWho This Episode Is ForThis episode is for you if...You keep setting the same goals but never follow through.You know exactly what you should be doing but can't seem to do it.You feel stuck and can't explain why.You're navigating a major life transition.You're wondering if coaching is worth the investment.Key TakeawaysCoaching focuses on helping you move from where you are to where you want to be.Repeating the same goals without changing your approach usually points to missing systems, not lack of motivation.Fear of the unknown often creates resistance, even when you know the next step.Feeling stuck doesn't always mean something is wrong—it may mean you've outgrown your current season.Major life transitions are easier to navigate with guidance and accountability.Your friends can support you emotionally, but they aren't responsible for helping you create lasting change.There is a coach for almost every niche, life stage, and challenge.Choosing a coach is about both expertise and finding someone you genuinely connect with.Building confidence comes from consistently showing up for yourself.You don't have to figure out adulthood on your own.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat's the difference between coaching and therapy?Therapy focuses on healing and processing your past, while coaching helps you create a plan for the future and take action toward your goals.How do I know if I need a coach?If you feel stuck, keep repeating the same patterns, struggle to follow through, or want accountability while working toward a goal, coaching may be a great fit.Is coaching only for people who are struggling?Not at all. Coaching is for anyone who wants to grow, create change, or reach goals more effectively.How do I choose the right coach?Start by identifying the area of your life you want help with, then find someone whose experience, personality, and coaching style align with what you're looking for.What is the Own Your Life System?The Own Your Life System is my six-pillar coaching framework focused on Create, Consistency, Control, Connect, Communicate, and Confidence to help twenty-somethings build a life that's truly their own.Helpful Resources: Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/ Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  Ep. 163 This is not your forever, but it is your for now 27.07.2026 18min

  NEW COURSE: How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/ Watch my TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE_7I6vDKrI Episode SummaryHave you ever looked at your life and thought, "I know I'm capable of more than this."Whether you're living with your parents, working a job that feels beneath your qualifications, recovering from an injury, or simply feeling like life isn't moving as quickly as you hoped, it's easy to believe you've somehow fallen behind.In this episode, I share a coaching conversation with one of my clients that completely changed how she viewed her career—and how it applies to every twenty-something navigating adulthood. We unpack the three biggest reasons we resist taking the stepping stones in front of us: ego, expectations, and comparison. I explain why your ego is often disappointment in disguise, how unrealistic expectations trap you into believing there's only one "right" timeline, and why comparing your behind-the-scenes to someone else's highlight reel will always leave you feeling like you're losing.Most importantly, I want to remind you that where you are today doesn't have to be where you stay. Your current season isn't your forever—it's simply your for now. Every stepping stone, even the frustrating ones, is preparing you for opportunities you can't yet see.In This Episode We DiscussWhy your current season doesn't define your futureThe hidden cost of letting your ego make career decisionsHow expectations create unnecessary disappointmentWhy comparison keeps you feeling behindThe importance of taking stepping stones instead of waiting for the "perfect" opportunityHow to recognize the value in jobs or experiences that don't feel excitingWhy your twenties are about adapting, not following a perfect planA practical exercise to help you appreciate where you are todayWho This Episode Is ForThis episode is for you if...You feel like you're behind everyone else your age.You're frustrated by a job that feels beneath your qualifications.You're living with your parents longer than expected.You're rebuilding after a setback, injury, or difficult season.You're wondering if taking a "small" opportunity means settling.Key TakeawaysEvery stepping stone serves a purpose, even if you can't see it yet.Ego often disguises itself as disappointment.Expectations should evolve as life gives you new information.Your first opportunity doesn't have to be your forever career.Comparison steals your ability to appreciate your own progress.Social media rarely shows the difficult parts of someone's journey.Small opportunities often create bigger ones later.Looking back at your own story helps you recognize how far you've come.Give yourself timelines for temporary seasons so they feel intentional.Your "for now" can become the foundation for everything you want next.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy do I feel behind in my twenties?Because you're comparing your real life to other people's visible milestones while holding yourself to expectations that may no longer fit your life.How do I stop comparing myself to everyone else?Shift comparison from evidence that you're failing to proof that what you want is possible.Should I take a job I'm overqualified for?Sometimes the right opportunity isn't your destination—it's the stepping stone that gets you there.What if my life doesn't look like I expected?That's normal. The most important skill you can develop is adapting your plan as life unfolds.How do I stay motivated during a frustrating season?Remember that your current circumstances are temporary. Give yourself a clear goal and timeline so your "for now" feels purposeful instead of permanent.Related EpisodesWhy You Feel Behind in Your Twenties (This Is Not Your Forever)The Psychology Behind Your Quarter-Life CrisisThis Is NOT Your Life: Stop Living Everyone Else's PlanHow to Make Your Next Move When You Feel StuckHelpful Resources: Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/ Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  Ep. 161 How to talk to your parents so they actually hear you 13.07.2026 18min

  WATCH MY TEDX TALK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE_7I6vDKrINEW COURSE: How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/If you have ever felt like your parents just do not hear you no matter what you say, this episode is going to help you figure out why and what to do about it. A big part of the problem is not what you are saying but the dynamic you are both unknowingly stuck in, and once you understand it, everything changes. I am walking you through the most common mistakes people make when bringing news or updates to their parents, why having a plan completely changes the outcome of those conversations, and how the relationship you build with your parents day to day matters just as much as how you deliver the news in the moment. I also get into what to do when the conversation starts to go sideways despite your best efforts, because their reaction is one thing you cannot control but how you show up is entirely up to you. If you have been putting off a hard conversation with your parents or keep finding that things go left no matter how hard you try, this one is for you.Key Takeaways:Are you acting immature or are your parents treating you like a child?A plan turns a confession into a conversationDecide before the conversation whether you are asking for help, advice, or just want to be heardAlways lead with context and follow with what you are doing about itThe relationship you build with your parents day to day directly impacts how conversations go when things get hardTreat your parents like people, not an ATM, not a therapist, not a personal assistantHelpful Resources:How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/successEmail me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusicMusic Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  Ep. 160 Is Gen-Z really screwed in the job market? 06.07.2026 16min

  NEW COURSE: How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/The job market is tough right now and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. In this episode I'm breaking down the real statistics behind what's happening with entry level jobs, why AI is a massive driver behind it, and whether Gen Z is actually screwed or just searching the wrong way.Spoiler: it's a little bit of both. I'm sharing what I'm seeing with my own clients, the mindset shifts that separate the people landing jobs from the ones still waiting for an email back, and why the way your parents found their jobs has absolutely nothing to do with what works today. If you're currently in the thick of a job search that feels like it's going nowhere, this episode will give you some honest perspective and a better direction to move in. Because the people landing jobs right now aren't doing anything magical, they're just doing things differently.Key Takeaways:Why entry level jobs are harder to land than ever beforeHow AI is changing the hiring process and what that means for youWhy mass applying online is not an effective job search strategyHow your mindset directly impacts your ability to land a jobThe truth behind job postingsYour first job out of school is not going to be what you think it isHelpful Resources:How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/successEmail me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusicMusic Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

In today’s conversation, I break down the psychology behind the “quarter life crisis” and why so many twenty-somethings suddenly feel the urge to blow up their lives, switch careers, move cities, go back to school, or completely start over.From social media comparisons and post-grad uncertainty to identity shifts, major life transitions, and the science behind your still-developing brain, this episode unpacks what’s actually happening beneath the surface of all those “what am I doing with my life?” thoughts. I also share pieces of my own journey leaving corporate life, moving to Charlotte, and learning how to separate impulsive reactions from genuine clarity.Key Takeaways:Why quarter life crises are so common in your twentiesThe psychological and emotional changes happening between 18–30How social media distorts your perception of success and timingThe role your prefrontal cortex plays in decision-makingWhy feeling lost can actually be a sign of growthHow to tell the difference between impulsivity and intuitionWhat to do when you feel the urge to completely change your lifeWhy you don’t need a full life plan — just the next stepHow external processing and support can help you navigate uncertaintyHelpful Resources:How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/successEmail me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusicMusic Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  NEW COURSE: How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/ Watch my TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE_7I6vDKrI In this episode I am breaking down why your twenties are genuinely the best time to build muscle and strength, what happens to your body if you wait until your thirties to start, and why this matters just as much for your mind as it does your body. I am also calling out the fears that keep you stuck on the cardio machines, the not knowing what to do, the fear of being judged, because spoiler, no one in that gym is watching you as closely as you think. And once we get your head in the right place, I am handing you the exact plan I use with my own clients so you can walk in with dumbbells and zero confusion about what to do. This is the why, the mindset, and the plan, all in one episode. Now go lift something.Key Takeaways:Why your twenties are the best decade to get started in the gymWaiting to lift weights comes at a costThe most common fears talking you out of going to the gymYou don’t need to spend hours in the gym to see resultsThe simple framework to help you walk in the gym with a planConsistency matters more than intensityHelpful Resources: How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/ Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

You’ll hear me share a client’s story who made her first mistake three weeks into her new job and let it ruin her whole night, and why that reaction is so much more common than you think. The problem isn't the mistake itself, it's that you start tying it to your worth as a person and suddenly you're not someone who made a mistake, you're convinced you are the mistake. It’s time to learn how to not dwell on this mistake for longer than you need to.Key Takeaways:Making mistakes is the most human thing you could doWhat are you making this mistake mean about you or your capabilities?How to not let imposter syndrome convince you you’re not good enoughStop over apologizingFix what you can fix, learn what you can learn, and then let it goThe goal is never to never make a mistake again, it’s to react betterHelpful Resources:How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/successEmail me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusicMusic Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  Ep. 156 Are you quitting or just running away? 08.06.2026 16min

  How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/ This episode discusses something that's a lot harder to figure out than it sounds: knowing whether you're strategically quitting something or just running away from it. Because on the surface they look identical, but the difference between the two will determine whether you're setting yourself up or selling yourself short. If you've ever had the itch to leave a job, a relationship, school, or any kind of commitment the second it gets hard, this one is for you.Key Takeaways:Quitting and running away look identical on the outside but the difference lies in the why behind the decisionRunning away doesn't make the problem disappear, it just delays it and guarantees it shows up againThere's a big difference between making a decision and having a reaction Staying somewhere longer than you want to can actually set you up for a much smoother transition into what's nextHelpful Resources: How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/ Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

The truth is, you can't hit pause on life while everything falls apart, but you can learn how to handle it without burning yourself out in the process. I break down how to shift your priorities, focus on what you can actually control, and stop looking at everything as one giant overwhelming mess. If you're in the thick of it right now, this episode is your reminder that your only job is to show up.Key Takeaways:Trying to power through when everything falls apart only makes things worseNot everything needs your attention equallyFocus on what you can control and let go of what you can'tHard seasons build resilience you'll need for the rest of adulthoodThis feeling is temporary, even when it doesn't feel that wayHelpful Resources: How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/ Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comContribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/In this episode, I'm talking about the low that follows a really big high… that "now what?" feeling that hits after you finally accomplish something you've been working toward. Whether it's landing a job, getting married, finishing a big project, or hitting a major milestone, I share why that post-achievement drop is completely normal and what to do about it. The goal was never just to get the thing – it was to build something meaningful once you did.Key Takeaways:The process of working toward a goal was keeping you occupied and giving you purpose, so its absence is what creates the empty feelingI’ll be happy when syndrome sets you up for disappointmentHow to have something new on the horizon before the big thing happensLearn to live in the mundaneHow this achievement can be the launch pad for what’s nextHelpful Resources:Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/successEmail me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comHow to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/Contribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusicMusic Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  Ep. 153 The problem with always accomplishing things 18.05.2026 13min

  How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/This episode breaks down the problem with always needing to accomplish things and why getting everything done doesn’t always mean you did it well. I talk about how constantly saying yes and rushing through your life leads to mistakes, poor communication, and people feeling overlooked.It’s time to start looking at your days differently, not just by what you got done, but by how you showed up while doing it. This episode is a reminder that being busy doesn’t excuse being inconsiderate, and that your self-worth isn’t measured by how much you accomplish. At the end of the day, the goal isn’t to rush through your life… it’s to actually be in it while you’re accomplishing it.Key Takeaways:Your urgency doesn’t stay with you… it spills over onto everyone around you.Success on paper is not the same as success in real life.You don’t need more time, you need better boundaries around your timeWhat can you say ‘no’ or ‘not right now’ to?Stop wearing your busyness as a badge of honorHelpful Resources:Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/successEmail me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comHow to stop spiraling:https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/Contribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusicMusic Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of bodies, eating disorders, and skinniness, listen at your own discretion.This episode is designed to call out the problem in today’s society: the overuse and abuse of weight loss drugs and practices. We went from chasing strength to once again chasing skinny with the goal to take up less and less space. I use this episode to break down why skinny does not mean healthy, how the media is influencing your perception of your own body, and the very real difference between being naturally thin and being undernourished. I also share the actual markers of health that I use in my own life and with my clients: things like energy, strength, hormones, and your relationship with food. This is meant to be a reality check so you can stop chasing a trend and start paying attention to what your body actually needs. Because skinniness is a trend… but your health is something you have to live with for the rest of your life.Key Takeaways:Just because someone is small doesn’t mean their body is functioning wellYour body has a natural set point, and forcing it below that comes with consequencesEnergy, strength, hormones, and your relationship with food matter more than your sizeStop trying to take up less spaceHelpful Resources:Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/successEmail me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comHow to stop spiraling:https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/Contribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusicMusic Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

  Ep. 150 Everything I got wrong in my twenties 27.04.2026 20min

  How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/ In this special 150th episode, I’m reflecting on everything I got wrong in my twenties — from my career path and health habits to dating, friendships, and self-worth.

  Ep. 148 The reality of being self-employed in your twenties 13.04.2026 19min

  Being self-employed isn’t as glamorous as social media makes it out to be. We’re talking numbers, emotions, expectations, timelines, doubts, and the grit that comes with this kind of decision. I walk you through my real income from my first job out of school through my first four years of being self-employed. I talk about the mental and emotional toll of entrepreneurship… the uncertainty, the self-discipline required, and why it’s not the “freedom” social media makes it seem. If you’re thinking about leaving your 9–5, this episode will help you decide whether you’re chasing the aesthetic… or you’re actually ready for the reality. Key Takeaways:Expect 3–5 years of hard work before your business feels stable or sustainableSet a clear timeline and savings goal, because dreams without deadlines stay dreamsKnow your backup plan before you dive inYour money will leave your account faster than it’ll go inSocial media shows the aesthetic, not the years of survival mode underneathHelpful Resources: Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.comHow to stop spiraling:https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/ Contribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
