Coaching Women in Faith: Overcoming Shame, Building Purpose
Framing verse: “Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” (Psalm 34:5)
You Were Never Meant to Carry Shame Alone
If you're a woman of faith who feels stuck, ashamed, or unsure of your purpose, you are not alone. Many of us know what it's like to love Jesus deeply yet live under a weight of guilt, fear, or self-doubt.
Shame says, "You're too much." Or, "You're not enough." But the gospel says, "You are a new creation." Coaching women in faith is not about pushing you harder. It’s about walking with you gently as you lay down shame and pick up truth.
You don't need to be fixed. You need to be seen. And that is where coaching begins.
What Makes Coaching for Women Different?
At Share The Struggle, we coach women through the lens of Scripture, grace, and real-life discipleship. This isn’t about self-help or hustle culture. It’s about:
Learning to hear God’s voice above the noise
Letting go of shame, perfectionism, and people-pleasing
Building rhythms that sustain your spirit, not just your schedule
Rediscovering who you are in Christ—not who the world told you to be
We believe coaching women is a sacred space. Not a lecture. Not a checklist. A place to meet Jesus in your real story—and grow from there.
From Shame to Radiance
Melissa came into coaching burdened by her past. "I knew Jesus forgave me," she said, "but I didn’t know how to forgive myself." Week by week, Scripture began to soak into the cracks of her self-condemnation. Today, she leads a women’s Bible study with boldness. "I’m not hiding anymore. God’s using the very thing I wanted to bury."
Anna thought coaching would just help her organize her goals. Instead, it helped her uncover why she never felt worthy of pursuing them. "My coach didn’t try to fix me. She just kept bringing me back to who God says I am. That changed everything."
Stories like these remind us: transformation doesn’t start with doing more. It starts with believing better.
What Coaching Looks Like (In Real Life)
Every woman’s story is different, but here are some rhythms we walk through together:
Scripture reflection and Spirit-led questions
Identifying and replacing shame-fueled thoughts
Setting small, faithful steps toward healing or purpose
Practicing rest, surrender, and holy confidence
We don’t promise quick fixes. But we do promise this: you won’t have to walk through it alone.
You Are Not Too Broken. You Are Becoming.
Coaching women isn’t about turning you into someone else. It’s about helping you become who God already says you are. The enemy wants to bury you in shame. Jesus wants to resurrect you in truth.
If you've ever whispered, "I wish someone would just walk with me for a while," that’s what we’re here for. Not to rescue you. But to remind you of the One who already has.
Is This the Right Season for Coaching?
Women reach out to us for all kinds of reasons:
Healing from past wounds (abuse, betrayal, addiction)
Navigating transitions (motherhood, divorce, calling shifts)
Rebuilding confidence after spiritual burnout
Simply needing space to process with a trusted voice
You don’t need a crisis to begin. You just need a desire to grow.
And if shame has been the loudest voice in your life, it’s time to let grace be louder.
