Many of the people who find their way into coaching have walked through something profound.

They’ve faced trauma, loss, upheaval, or deep initiations that cracked them open. And instead of running from those experiences, they let them carve depth.

That lived experience is gold. It gives you the capacity to hold space like few others can. But here’s the catch: lived wisdom on its own doesn’t always translate into professional mastery.

👉 How do you take what you’ve walked through and shape it into a framework that clients can safely trust?
👉 How do you stand out in an industry where anyone can call themselves a coach?
👉 How do you move from instinctual “helping” to a skillful practice backed by credibility and accreditation?

In this episode, I’ll share:

- Why lived experience is the raw material of depth coaching, but not the full container.

- The hidden dangers of relying on life story alone when guiding others.

- How to forge your wisdom into a professional skillset that integrates shadow, psyche, and transformation.

- Why credibility and accreditation matter now more than ever in the coaching industry.

- The pathway that turns depth-seekers into certified psychodynamic life coaches.

If you’ve ever felt the call to take your lived story and turn it into something bigger - something that gives you both the depth and the legitimacy to lead others - this episode is for you.
