Coaching is the Vitamin C for Your Well-being

Imagine asking a friend a simple question: "Which is easier to sell - Vitamin C or Aspirin?" Most people would laugh and say, “Aspirin, obviously.”

And it makes sense. When someone is in real pain, they don’t need convincing. They’ll head to the pharmacy in the middle of the night if they have to. The need is urgent, the relief is immediate.

Vitamin C, on the other hand, is different. No one wakes up at 2 a.m. desperate to take Vitamin C. No one asks a flight attendant for it mid-flight. It’s something we take for our future selves—for resilience, not instant results. And because the benefits are delayed, it often gets overlooked.

But here’s where the comparison matters:

Coaching is the Vitamin C of mental and emotional wellbeing.

Coaching is where small concerns are heard before they grow. It’s where job dissatisfaction is explored before burnout appears. Where relationship stress is talked through before it becomes overwhelming. Where health goals, dreams, and direction are clarified before time gets too tight.

And the changes that happen in coaching are often subtle but powerful:

• saying goodnight to children with intention,

• moving for ten minutes to build strength,

• reaching out to someone who matters.

Tiny actions that quietly shape a future.

The truth is, when someone finally says, “I really need a coach,” it’s often a sign that they may need a therapist, doctor, or mental health professional instead—someone who can help during a crisis.

Coaching isn’t crisis care. Coaching is prevention. It’s maintenance. It’s long-term support. The Vitamin C of personal growth.

COACHING because the best time to take care of your future self is always now.
