How I Became a Life Coach (My Nonlinear Career Path)
In this YouTube video, Nisha Mody, trauma-informed life coach and facilitator, shares the story of how she became a life coach after a long, nonlinear career path that included many different professions and life transitions.
In this video, Nisha covers:
Her previous careers and how they led her to where she is today
How she used to feel insecure about having such a nonlinear career path and “not being able to make up her mind”
The realization that all of her roles had one thing in common: supporting, listening to, and working closely with people
Why she originally chose speech therapy, including how marriage, expectations, and wanting a “practical” career influenced that decision
How, no matter where she worked, she was always more interested in:
Relationships
Workplace dynamics
Communication and conflict
Human behavior
How she began coaching on the side and eventually realized she wanted to:
Work more deeply with people
Focus on healing, systems, and personal agency
Integrate all of her past experiences into one role
How her coaching work today explores:
The impact of systems like capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, and ableism on our lives
Interdependence between humans, nature, and society
Healing that is both personal and collective
This video is for you if you’ve ever had a nonlinear career path, struggled with career doubt, or felt like your work and life were slowly leading you toward something deeper and more integrated.
