404. I Said Yes to Myself: An Interview with Skye Lamont

Today I'm sharing a conversation that stayed with me long after we hit stop recording.

Skye Lamont has been in Life Mentoring School for under a year, and before that she'd already been a certified life coach since 2002. She's also a fantasy novelist with seven completed books, and for years she believed she could only really pursue one calling at a time — the writer or the coach, never both. This conversation is about what happened when she stopped believing that.

Here they are:

How the creation cycle helped Skye uncover a decades-old, sneaky thought quietly running underneath her marriage — the belief that she'd picked the wrong husband

Why so many women, especially in midlife, live from an "either/or" belief about their gifts — and what changed when Skye started practicing "and" instead

The real story behind why she stayed off social media for eight years, and what it took for her to finally start a YouTube channel

Why the biggest surprise of coach certification wasn't learning to coach other people — it was learning to "go first" and do the work on herself

What made this community different from every other coaching certification she's done, and why she says you don't get the full benefit of the work without it

Her encouragement for any woman who feels made for more but hasn't taken the leap yet

"I said yes to becoming a coach and getting certified. But what I really said yes to was myself."
