Sneak Peek into Coaching: What Nourishes You (Beyond the Plate)

When you think about what nourishes you, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Most people think food—what’s on your plate, how “clean” you’re eating, whether you're getting enough greens. And sure, food is part of it. But I created Coacha Vida, so that we can look beyond the plate.

Because here’s the truth:
You can follow the perfect diet and hit every workout, but if your life outside the gym and kitchen is out of alignment, it’s going to be really hard to feel well. Long-term.

Real nourishment comes from how you live—not just how you eat.

When I work with clients, we look at the full picture. I use a tool that maps out 12 essential areas of life that impact your energy, mood and overall well-being. This simple but powerful framework helps you get radically honest about what needs more attention and where you’re already thriving.

Let’s explore them together:

✨ The 12 Areas That Nourish Your Life

  1. Spirituality
    Feeling connected to something greater than yourself—however you define it—adds depth, purpose, and meaning to life.

  2. Creativity
    Expression isn’t a luxury; it’s a need. Whether it’s writing, painting, building, or dreaming, creativity connects you to your essence.

  3. Finances
    Money is emotional. Gaining clarity and confidence around your finances can dramatically reduce stress and increase freedom.

  4. Career
    You spend most of your waking hours here. Is your work aligned with your values? Does it energize you or drain you?

  5. Education
    Growth is nourishment. When you’re learning, you’re expanding—and that keeps you mentally agile and inspired.

  6. Health
    Not just the absence of illness, but true vitality. Is your body, mind, and spirit getting what it needs?

  7. Physical Activity
    Movement is medicine. Whether it’s walking, dancing, lifting, or stretching—your body was designed to move.

  8. Home Cooking
    Nourishing yourself with real food you prepare with care is a powerful act of self-respect.

  9. Home Environment
    Your space affects your energy. From the people you live with to the light in your room—it all matters.

  10. Relationships
    The quality of your connections can uplift or unravel you. How supported do you feel?

  11. Social Life
    Joyful, judgment-free spaces to just be you are essential. We’re wired for connection.

  12. Joy
    Are you prioritizing the things that make you laugh, smile, or feel delight for no reason at all?

These 12 areas might seem simple, but they offer a clear snapshot of where your life might feel out of sync.

And when we ignore this imbalance, the result is almost always the same: Overwhelm. Burnout. Disconnection. A body that keeps the score.

“The loneliness that comes from everyday life leaves people feeling overwhelmed. And that overwhelm puts the nervous system into a constant stress response.”

Here’s the wake-up call:
Most people would rather stay sick than face the truth of how their lifestyle is working against their health.

But you don’t have to keep choosing stress. You don’t have to keep choosing imbalance.

You are not a victim. You are in choice.

And that’s exactly what coaching helps you remember.
