Certified vs. Qualified: Don’t Hire a Coach Until You Hear This

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2250871/open_sms] In this episode, I’m getting honest about something that deeply matters in the healing space: the difference between being certified and being qualified. I share stories from my past as an underqualified fitness coach, what I witnessed during breathwork practitioner training, and why trauma-informed, heart-rooted facilitation is non-negotiable.  Whether you’re a client or a coach, this is a conversation about integrity, safety, and why your healing deserves better than "just vibes." 🕊️ If you loved this episode, you’ll want to explore: → God Glow, my private coaching & breathwork experience for the woman who’s ready to stop spiraling and start softening.

The Journey Back to Ourselves (and Jesus) with Kaitlyn Pezzutti

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2250871/open_sms] In today’s episode, I’m joined by one of my closest friends, Kate, for a raw and honest conversation about faith, healing, and the softening that happens when you stop running from yourself and finally let God in. We reflect on where we came from—how shame shaped us, how performance kept us guarded, and how we’ve both returned to a gentler, more anchored version of ourselves through our relationship with Jesus. What We Dive Into: * The danger of almost-truths and subtle self-abandonment * How the enemy uses rationalization to distort our discernment * New age spirituality, spiritual tools, and why discernment matters * Misrepresentations of Christ that keep people from true connection * Building faith through curiosity, perspective, and even science * Why truth without Love isn’t truth at all This isn’t a how-to episode. It’s a heart-to-heart. It’s a glimpse into what happens when two women sit down and speak truth about what they used to believe, who they thought they had to be, and what grace actually feels like when it lands. Whether you’re in a season of deconstruction, devotion, or deep healing—there’s something here for you. SUPPORT THE SHOW!! Please give the show a rating, subscribe, & review to help support the show!
