Ep 91 Coaching vs Therapy: How Taking Action Transforms Visibility and Growth
Description
Episode Description / Show Notes:
I’ve been getting this question a lot lately: what’s the difference between coaching and traditional talk therapy? In this episode, I break it down using a client story (pseudonym: “Kathy”) that illustrates common patterns of hesitation, fear, and overthinking.
You’ll hear how coaching is different: we don’t just talk—we take action. I share how taking the first step, even when you don’t feel ready, opens the door to real progress, how processing fear in real time supports sustainable growth, and why nervous-system-informed guidance is essential for stepping into visibility without burning out.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The key difference between coaching and traditional therapy
- Why taking action—even small steps—is central to transformation
- How fear and resistance show up and why that’s a feature, not a bug
- The importance of nervous-system support, co-regulation, and reflection
- How to sustain progress while showing up authentically for your work
Who This Episode is For:
Sensitive creatives, healers, entrepreneurs, and coaches who want to take aligned action, show up authentically, and move past patterns of freeze or hesitation.
