There is a reason that life coaches and family members are different in the way that they handle a situation. A life coach is not connected to you in any way.
Life coaches are impartial. They are not connected to you in an emotional way. Life coaches are professionals to come in and do a job, coach you to the goals that you have set forth and to help you achieve a balanced life. That is their main objective. Coaches are there to listen to you, no matter what and not let their own emotions or life get in the way of you, the client, achieving your goals.
Aunt Martha on the other hand is most likely emotionally involved in your cause or situation. She may try her best to help, but may let her own life get in the way, or own emotions get in the way of helping. Depending on how close you are, she may even not want you to succeed. There is no professional barrier there with Aunt Martha, whereas with a life coach, there is.
There are reasons that a person should not seek professional help from people they are related to or that they are close friends with. Doctors tend to keep this rule, along with lawyers, therapists, and other professionals. This professional distance is what allows the professional to maintain decorum and unbiased conclusions about what needs to be done in order to help the client.
Remember that your life coach is not there to be a friend. They are there to provide professional help in achieving your goals and to help you develop a balanced life. It is a professional working relationship and should be treated as such.
