If you are considering hiring a life coach, it is important to have clear expectations of what life coaching is – and is not – so that you can find the best coach for you.

Over the years while working with clients around stuck habits like procrastination, anxiety, stress, I’ve noticed an interesting trend: Food cravings can be triggered by a variety of physical or mental factors.
