Nate
How long have you been a Quit Coach: 2 years
What inspired you to be a Health Coach? I love helping others. I have always been involved in coaching in some capacity, through sports and other areas. I wanted to continue to help and guide others and Health Coaching has been a great way to do that!
What is your favorite or most rewarding part of your job? One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing individuals who never thought they could quit end up quitting and thriving being tobacco-free.
Hobbies: Hunting and fishing
TIP: Take it one day at a time. As cliché as it sounds, not getting ahead of yourself in your quit is key. It can be overwhelming to think about staying quit the rest of your life, but you can stay quit today. As those days stack up it can seem less and less overwhelming to be tobacco-free!
