Okay, folks, buckle up. Today we’re diving into the world of personal growth with Coach Jayme Shiarla—a woman who took life’s punches, turned them into a workout routine, and is now out here teaching the rest of us how to stop sucking at setting boundaries. Think Tony Robbins meets CrossFit with a little “Dear Abby” on steroids. Let’s get into it.
The School of Hard Knocks: No Diploma, Just Scars
Jayme’s claim to fame? She’s a summa cum laude graduate of the “School of Hard Knocks.” No, it’s not an online course. It’s life slapping you around until you finally go, “Okay, okay, I get it!” Jayme told me, “You can learn from textbooks, but nothing beats living through it.” Depression, toxic relationships, burnout—she’s been there, done that, and got the T-shirt. That’s why her coaching style isn’t some fluff about manifesting good vibes; it’s gritty, it’s real, and it works.
The Chase That Never Ends
You know that feeling when you say, “I’ll be happy when…?” Spoiler alert: “When” never comes. Jayme says it’s a trap we’ve all fallen into. “We’re constantly chasing this mythical finish line that moves every time we get close,” she said. It’s like a treadmill for your soul—you’re running, but you’re not going anywhere. She tells her clients to stop, take a breath, and actually celebrate how far they’ve come. Revolutionary, right? Appreciating the present instead of being miserable about the future. Who knew?
What Makes a Leader Work?
Jayme says the best leaders bring two things to the table: willingness and trust. Willingness means actually wanting to improve. Not just signing up for a coaching session so you can say, “Well, I tried.” Trust? That’s the harder one. If you don’t trust your coach, Jayme says, you’re just wasting everyone’s time. Trust her, trust yourself, and the results will come.
Ego: The Dream Killer
Ah, ego—the big bad wolf in every high-achiever’s story. Jayme says it’s what holds her clients back the most. “They’ve spent their lives controlling outcomes and getting quick wins,” she explained. “But that same ego keeps them from doing the deeper work.” So, before stepping into her coaching sessions, you’d better leave that inflated sense of self at the door.

CrossFit: Metaphor for Life
Here’s the thing about Jayme—she’s not just about mental toughness; she’s out there slinging kettlebells and flipping tires in CrossFit. And somehow, she makes it sound philosophical. “Fitness teaches me patience, resilience, and the importance of showing up,” she said. The way she describes it, her morning workout is basically a TED Talk for her muscles. And honestly? If she can deadlift her way to mental clarity, maybe we should all give it a shot.
Struggling to Set Boundaries? Jayme’s Got You Covered
Now let’s talk about her course, Building Better Boundaries. This is for the people who can’t say no, who let their time and energy get sucked away by everyone else. Jayme’s here to save you from yourself.
What you get:
Jayme says, “Building boundaries isn’t about shutting people out; it’s about creating space for what matters.” Translation? You can finally stop being everyone’s doormat.
So, if you’re tired of burnout and ready to actually enjoy your life, check out Jayme Shiarla’s coaching. She’s not just here to change your mindset—she’s here to kick it into gear.
