Description

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Natasha Cook, a licensed psychologist and certified professional coach — to explore the nuanced line between therapy and coaching. 


We discuss what makes each unique, how they can complement each other, and what it looks like to ethically support clients on both sides of the line. 
Whether you're a coach, therapist, or someone who's been curious about the difference, you're going to love this honest conversation.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The key differences between therapy and life coaching

Why coaching isn’t just “repackaged therapy”

When coaches should refer clients to therapy (and how to recognize the signs)

How to ethically navigate identity work, mindset, and emotional healing

Why transformation takes time—and why that’s something to celebrate

The role of self-love and future-self visioning in long-term growth

What true self-care actually looks like (spoiler: not bubble baths!)

Why we need more regulation in the coaching industry (and where we draw the line)
