Tips on Hiring Your First Coach

How do you choose the right therapist or coach when there are so many options... and the stakes feel pretty high?

In this episode, we're talking about one of the most overlooked factors in personal growth: the relationship between you and your helper. Yes, training, credentials, and methods matter. But whether you're looking for a therapist, coach, or some other kind of support, research consistently shows that the connection itself is often what creates the biggest shifts. I'll share what I've learned from working with a lot of coaches, seeing several therapists, and investing many thousands of dollars in my own growth. We'll talk about why the most qualified person on paper isn't always the best fit, how to tell if someone's style works for you, and what to look for before investing.

We'll also cover how to do your homework when coaching is largely unregulated, why consuming someone's free content can tell you more than a page full of testimonials, and the questions you should ask before signing a contract. 

If you're wondering whether coaching, therapy, or a particular practitioner is right for you, this episode will help you make a more informed decision, and hopefully save you some time, money, and awkward Zoom calls.
