I'm Not Who I Was | SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast with Chris Melville

In this episode of the SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, Nicole George reconnects with Chris Melville, SOVEREIGN Magazine®'s In-House Coach to discuss the May Full Moon issue on Transformation and Chris’s article, “I’m Not Who I Was When I Started.”

Chris shares that transformation in coaching is a co-created relationship that changes both client and coach, describing how experience builds stronger observational and “soft” skills and leads to deeper, easier results.

They explore shifting language from “fixing” to “invitation,” emphasizing integration and authenticity over performance.

Chris explains she doesn’t work with clients in victim mindset, suggesting practices like gratitude to begin rewiring toward possibility, and outlines using small behavioral changes to build confidence before addressing deeper beliefs.
