Wondering how the Three Red Flags would sound coming from your coaching business? The examples below take this Instagram reel idea two ways, from a divorce coach for women on the fence and a retirement transition coach for people who can already afford to stop.
The recipe
- Give permission: Open by naming the scary action out loud, so someone already circling it feels seen. Do not tell them to do it.
- The sign they can see: Start with the physical symptom nobody can argue with, the one they notice in the mirror.
- The sign around them: Point at something outside them, so they stop reading it as a personal failing.
- The sign in their evenings: Describe the ordinary night that shows what the decision is quietly costing them.
- Stop before the how: Admit that doing it is the hard part, then promise the how in your next video.

Why it worked
She never once tells you to quit. She says these are the three things that helped her decide, which means you are the one making the call, and that is the only reason a video about leaving your job does not read as preachy.
The evidence does the rest. Hair falling out, waking multiple times a night, a doctor prescribing massages. All physical, none of it arguable. You can talk yourself out of feeling stressed, but you cannot talk yourself out of your hair falling out. Then she stops right before the useful part and promises the how in the next video, which turns one view into a follow.
Examples
A divorce coach for women on the fence
“This is your sign to stop trying to fix it. Here are 3 things that helped me decide to walk away.”
She names the specific week each one showed up, then saves what she actually did for the next video.
A retirement transition coach for people who can already afford to stop
“This is your sign to actually retire. Here are 3 things that helped me decide to finally stop working.”
Every sign is something you can point at, not something you feel.
