Where did we get the idea that there is some other

Where did we get the idea that there is some other, better, more perfect, unbroken way to be human? Where is the human being who is functioning “correctly” against whom we are all judging our performances. Who is she? Where is she? What is her life if it is not these things?

Super grossed out by this 👇 I don’t know what

Super grossed out by this 👇
I don’t know what’s happening lately…

And look, this isn’t a topic I’m building a platform on but I have always had a keen eye for it and it is one of those things that disturbs me enough to mention it.

I’ve heard more than I’d like to about toxic coaches/mentors (none of which I know personally) who have told clients or people things that throw up my “WARNING / MANIPULATION” flags instantly.

I’m by no means throwing the whole industry under the bus, because there are so many wonderful business coaches and mentors, and some who are still learning and developing, I have coaches and mentors myself, but I do think that there is something happening in some spaces that I don’t like.

A business coaches job isn’t to tell you exactly what to do. They aren’t there to hard-pressure you into a sale that will put your financial security at risk or tell you to do a strategy you fundamentally don’t agree with. Your communication is key here too.

If it doesn’t feel aligned, you don’t have to do it. You can say “let’s try another way that feels more like me” or find a respectful way to end the container.

Imagine waking up every day doing something you don’t agree with. Why would you want that.

Good coaches desire to make learning something more accessible to you. They won’t guilt you or manipulate you from within their container.

Business and life coaches aren’t gods who know all. They have an important job provide a trustworthy and safe space to ask you questions you need to get you to a breakthrough. Yes maybe to get you to another level or to provide feedback when appropriate.

They should not have you questioning your sanity. Coaches are allowed to set boundaries with you, and should. You also should understand what is okay and not okay with the way people treat you.

There is no ONE right answer for any ONE person when it comes to finding out what feels right for you.

And lastly, if you feel creeped out, or if you feel like this person isn’t who they say they are, consider backing away immediately. Don’t convince yourself YOU are crazy. That is manipulation playing its part. Love you.
