The Coaching Industry Has It Wrong—Here’s What Actually Works

As a former perfectionist, I spent years on personal development, leadership growth, therapy, and coaching—but I still felt stuck. If this is you, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I reveal the fundamental flaw in the coaching industry and why two dominant coaching approaches—emotional processing and mindset work—often keep people spinning their wheels. You could say I'm the anti-personal development coach.

✅ Why mindset shifts, reframing, and subconscious work don’t always lead to real transformation (this is my biggest pet peeve...)

✅ The hidden trap of emotional processing (and why it sometimes makes things worse)

✅ The missing piece in most coaching models—and how it unlocks real clarity

✅ What insight coaching is and how it helps you break free from endless self-work

I hope this gives you something fresh to ponder. Especially if you’re tired of working on yourself but still feeling like something is missing.

It's not you. You've processed and worked on yourself plenty. Maybe it's time for insight. Simple, powerful, with no work.

🔔 Listen now and discover how insight—not analysis or emotional deep dives—can create lasting change.
