coaching vs. therapy?
In the last decade, coaching became a hot topic, leaving us wondering what it's all about.
When I first heard about it, it was at the start of my personal development journey. I was a new mom and realized my need to move from being reactive to responsive.
I also realized I needed help and accountability, so I hired someone who specialized in anxiety. That was the start of a life-changing journey for me affecting all areas, including the pursuit of my own certification back in 2017.
The studies are available now to prove it's success. According to coaching statistics, "80% of clients say that they improved their self-esteem or self-confidence thanks to coaching."₁
That’s why I was excited to have Miriam Gunn, a licensed therapist turned coach on the podcast. In episode 57 of GFB, Miriam and I delved into the key differences between coaching and therapy, highlighting the victim mindset vs. the actual victim, and how to move from dysfunction to function.
Some other topics covered are:
- the difference between limiting beliefs
- understanding the signs of a victim mindset
- being problem-focused vs. solution-focused
- the impact of family positions on personality
- choosing personal growth over entropy.
If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to work with a coach vs. a therapist and don’t know which to choose, this episode will help you with your decision.

"Oh Father, give me the words." That's what I end up telling myself as I draft the beginning of an email. It's hard to start these when I have so much to say and some time has passed. But when you're among friends.. Happy New Year and Happy Friday Reader! The end of year scaries that try to kick in for many people didn't get a chance to stick around for me because I was too busy fighting off the flu with my entire family. New Year's Eve was spent holding a giant bowl under my daughter's mouth...
Trigger Warning: This episode contains content related to sexual trauma, rape, and abuse. Listeners, please beware. Anyone who is sensitive to this topic please be advised that I’ll be talking about some of the incidents that occurred that day. Reader, I've shuffled back and forth for the past three or four days debating whether or not I should share this story with you. I've never gone this deep before. You know I've been through some stuff but most of it has been vague for the most part....
Every person faces trauma in a different way—either now or later when it comes unexpectedly. It’s true for many of us. Trauma happens and the results can be ugly. Some of us have the support needed. Some of us numb it out. Some of us suffer silently. Reader, thank you for the well-messages after my email last month and for the encouragement to keep doing what I’m doing. In the past, I would have just hidden away in my cocoon and never invited you into what was happening in my inner world....
