a Lighthouse

What if support didn’t steer your life—but lit the way forward?

In this episode, we sit down with Shailendra Aswal, coach and Chief Navigating Officer at My Life Kompass, to explore the lighthouse as a metaphor for personal growth: a steady beam, an early warning, and a safe harbor to regroup before heading back out to sea.

Rather than taking the wheel, we discuss how great coaching fosters clarity and safety—so you can navigate your own waters with confidence. We unpack transformation from both sides of the lantern: how coaches must tend their own light through physical, mental, and spiritual practice, and how clients build self-awareness until it shines reliably, even in rough weather.

Expect vivid metaphors and practical tools—anchors as daily habits, storm-sensing as emotional intelligence, and intentional pauses to chart your next course. We also explore why insights often stay locked inside one-on-one sessions—and how a shared harbor can turn private breakthroughs into communal wisdom that helps many boats avoid the same rocks.

Zooming out, we ask: how can we balance individual freedom with the strength of community? This episode offers a middle path—sail when you need to, dock when you should. You’ll hear about building safe spaces, using stories as portable lighthouses, and protecting your sense of worth in a world that moves faster than ever.

If you’re navigating change, craving connection, or ready to be a lighthouse for someone else, this conversation offers language, practices, and hope you can use today.

If it resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s at sea right now, and leave a review to help more people find their harbor.
