Coaching Through Limbo: Sometimes You Just Need the Right Timeout

September 10
14 mins

Episode Description

When you are standing in the middle of a major life transition, it can be hard to see what is really happening.

You are managing the emotions, the fear, the decisions, the finances, the family dynamics, and everything else life is throwing at you.

Sometimes you are simply too close to the game to see the whole court.

In this episode of Start Your Comeback, Toni shares the story of a basketball game in 1993 when one timeout and one adjustment changed the momentum of the entire game.

That story became a powerful picture of what coaching through Limbo can look like.

You may not need 50 changes.

You may not need to blow up your entire life.

You may simply need someone on the sideline who can help you see what you cannot see yet.


In This Episode

Toni talks about:

  • Why it is hard to see clearly when you are in the middle of a transition
  • The difference between coaching and simply giving advice
  • Why good coaches ask questions instead of handing out answers
  • How fear can disguise itself as confusion
  • Why friends are valuable but are not always coaches
  • How coaching can help separate facts from fear
  • Why accountability sometimes matters more than reassurance
  • How one small adjustment can change the momentum of your comeback
  • Why coaching is not meant to create long-term dependency
  • How to identify the next play without having the entire game plan


If you are in Limbo and tired of circling the same questions, second-guessing every decision, or trying to figure out your next season alone, this is exactly the kind of work Toni does with her coaching clients.

Coaching can help you:

  • identify what is actually keeping you stuck
  • separate facts from fear
  • recognize patterns you may not be able to see yourself
  • determine what is within your control
  • make decisions with greater clarity
  • identify your next step

If that sounds like where you are right now, come sit with me.

If you are not ready for one-on-one coaching but want help working through your transition, Toni’s book, Start Your Comeback, and the companion workbook, Start Your Comeback Game Plan, were created to help you begin building your own comeback one step at a time.
