In this short testimonial video, Susie Payton—a life coach, comedian, improv teacher, and neurodiversity trainer—shares how coaching helped her overcome self‑doubt and a fraught relationship with money. She describes a session structure that begins with celebrating weekly wins, identifying limiting thoughts, and deliberately choosing new ones, which led to increased confidence in pricing her services. Susie reports that the coaching investment paid for itself, allowing her to earn more than she spent, and she emphasizes that the coach’s ability to extract “bits of gold” makes the partnership a clear financial win. The clip ends with a brief question from an interviewer about recommending the coach, which Susie declines to answer directly.

Because I was newly qualified, I was quite— my confidence wasn't very high, so a lot of self-doubt thinking, oh my God, can I do this? Can I do this? Sort of thing. I had a weird relationship with money and I really wanted to overcome that as well. So I like the way we started every session with, what are you celebrating this week? Identifying those thoughts, realising that the thoughts are causing the feelings, and then intentionally Choosing different thoughts, and it really does work. But of course, I got so much more, and being clear and confident with my pricing, um, and not— now it's not even a thing anymore. It's just like, this is my price. Now I realize it doesn't have to be difficult, and I can still get, um, satisfaction. So now I'm ready to let it be easy and fun and interesting and play to my strengths. Your superpower is to listen to somebody like me and then pick out the bits of gold, the bits of magic. So it kind of is just a no-brainer really, because you will make that money back. As a result of your coaching, I had earned more than what I spent on you. And it's an investment in you as a person. You need to find somebody to help you develop grow, you know, it's worth every penny. Hello, I'm Susie Payton. I am a life coach, I'm a comedian, I teach comedy improvisation to beginners, and I am also a neurodiversity trainer.
