Interrogating the Coaching Industry with Cara Kovacs

Welcome to the Whorrific Podcast, where we delve into internal systems and their connections to oppression, particularly in alternative employment and sex work. Today, we're excited to have our first guest, Cara Kovacs from Cara Kovacs Coaching. Cara is a business coach specializing in progressive leadership with a focus on social impact initiatives. She guides clients in ethical selling strategies and the development of non-hierarchical team structures. Cara, who identifies as queer, polyamorous, a witch, and someone with type 2 diabetes, actively challenges societal norms through her platform. In this episode, Cara and Morgan revisit the coaching industry in response to Morgan's previous solo episode on MLMs and the coaching industry in 2023 ( https://www.morganlafeuille.com/whorrific-feed/2023/7/12/episode-4-mlms-and-the-coaching-industry-part-2-of-a-jupiter-in-taurus-series [https://www.morganlafeuille.com/whorrific-feed/2023/7/12/episode-4-mlms-and-the-coaching-industry-part-2-of-a-jupiter-in-taurus-series] ). They explore topics such as alternative employment, the lack of regulation in coaching, and the resulting risks of unqualified practitioners, inappropriate care, power imbalances, and cult-like organizations. Cara introduces us to the work of Emily Ann Brant, an indigenous coach who argues that coaching, as a modern industry, has lost touch with its ancient roots. The conversation delves into Cara's journey to becoming a coach. After pursuing a degree in psychology and realizing the inadequate starting salaries in the field, she discovered the coaching industry. Despite finding success, Cara also became aware of the dangers discussed earlier. She opens up about divesting from a coach she worked with for years after recognizing their abusive dynamic. Check out Cara's work and join the final night of her free 3-part class series Tuesday, January 30th at 4pm PST/7pm EST you can find the details on her instagram! https://www.carakovacs.com/ [https://www.carakovacs.com/] Instagram @carakovacscoaching Cara's podcast Business Witch: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/business-witch/id1679466699 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/business-witch/id1679466699] Emily Ann Brant: https://www.emilyannebrant.com/ [https://www.emilyannebrant.com/] https://www.instagram.com/emilyannebrant [https://www.instagram.com/emilyannebrant] Support Gaza locally and abroad!

Your personal schema of meaning and coping mechanisms are what's making you feel guilty, and the good news is you have control over that. 8:30 how to deal with these feelings and take control? sit with and validate them. 9:15 you will do yourself and others favors when you release the attachment to how others are judging your actions 11:20- deal with these feelings in an intentional and closed container ideally with a therapist 12:00 Ask yourself these questions: why am I afraid? Why am I taking this personally? 12:50- taking care of my emotions doesn't mean logging off, remaining neutral or disengaging. It means feeling my feelings and allowing myself the space to have my full trauma response so that I can show up again tomorrow. 16:00 by taking responsibility for our emotions, we can process them in a way that is supportive and safe to the other people around us 23:00 three ways you can support the Palestinian people, an in depth discussion of boycotting, witnessing, and contacting representatives.
