5. How to Evaluate a Coaching Certification

Do you actually need a coaching certification? Technically, no. Life coaching is unregulated, and nobody can stop you from hanging a shingle. But I really don't recommend skipping it, and in this episode I break down exactly why, and how to find the right one. There are three categories of certification programs: university-based, ICF-accredited, and independent. Each has tradeoffs, and I walk you through what each is actually good for. Then I give you the five questions I think every aspiring coach should ask before enrolling anywhere. Spoiler: a grab bag of tools is not a method, and most programs won't address what's happening in your head as the coach. That gap matters more than people realize.

4. Why Coaching Will Thrive in the Age of AI

The headlines have it backwards. Coaching isn't going to be replaced by AI. It's going to become more valuable because of it. I'm making the case, with five specific reasons, for why this moment is actually one of the best times to become a coach. You'll also hear where AI genuinely helps coaches who are building a practice and, just as importantly, where letting it take the wheel will quietly undermine everything that makes you worth hiring. If you've been watching the AI news and questioning your next move, this episode is for you.

1. What Life Coaching Is and Isn't

Most people who could be extraordinary coaches never get started because they believe something about coaching that simply isn't true. I'm tackling the three biggest coaching misconceptions head-on: you’ll learn what coaching actually is, why it's nothing like therapy, and why the "wellness grifting" criticism says more about sexism than it does about the profession. You'll also hear what real coaching looks like in practice and why cognitive psychology, somatics, and intersectionality all have a place in a great session. If you've been curious about coaching or you're already in it and want to get clear on what the work really is, this is your foundation.

2. What Being a Life Coach Actually Requires (And What It Doesn't)

The bar for becoming a coach is different than you think, and so is what actually makes someone good at it. You don't need a psychology degree, a perfect life, or shared experience with every client you'll ever have. I'm breaking down the real objections that stop people from getting started, why most of them are rooted in how women are socialized to see themselves, and what three qualities actually predict whether someone will be great at this work. None of them are what most people expect. If you've been wondering whether you're cut out for this, this episode answers that question directly.
