Why Coaching is Booming: It’s Not Therapy, It’s Transformation
If you've noticed coaching seems to be everywhere lately, you're not imagining things. Coaching is one of the fastest-growing industries, and Forbes Magazine has even dubbed it a legitimate and thriving business model. From life coaching to relationship coaching, more and more people are turning to coaches for guidance, support, and, most importantly, real change.
But let’s get something straight: coaching isn’t therapy. While both can help you navigate life’s messy, gooey (you know how I love that word!) emotional stuff, they approach it in different ways. Therapy often digs deep into your past, exploring childhood wounds and traumas to help you heal. It’s a critical resource for mental health, and in many cases, it’s life-saving. But what if you’re not just looking to heal? What if you want to take action, create something new, and step into the person you’re meant to be?
That’s where coaching comes in. Think of coaching as the bridge between who you are today and who you want to become.
So, Why Is Coaching So Hot Right Now?
In a world where burnout is real, relationships are hard, and most of us are juggling more than we can carry, we crave personalized, actionable advice. We want someone to help us create a plan—and hold us accountable to it! This is why coaching is taking off. According to Forbes, coaching has become a $2.85 billion global industry. And why wouldn’t it? People are waking up to the fact that change is not only possible but entirely within reach.
And let me tell you, as someone who’s been doing this for a while, the best part of coaching isn’t just helping you fix a problem, it’s showing you how to thrive in every area of your life. It’s about rewiring the way you think, feel, and show up in the world—and that can be downright transformational.
Coaching vs. Therapy: Not a Competition, Just Different
I get it, though. The line between coaching and therapy can seem blurry. While therapy is often about understanding why you are the way you are, coaching is more about deciding who you want to be moving forward. It’s future-focused and action-driven. In our sessions, we’re not just going to talk about what’s wrong or what’s hard; we’re going to do something about it. You’ll walk away from each session with practical tools you can use in your daily life, whether we’re talking about how to spice up your relationship, increase your self-confidence, or become more present in your intimate moments.
That’s not to say coaching is “better” than therapy; for some people, it’s just the right tool at the right time. Maybe you’ve already done the deep therapeutic work, and now you’re ready to make changes that stick. Or maybe you’ve tried therapy, and while it was helpful, you want to shift into a more hands-on, results-oriented approach.
Why Coaching Could Be the Right Move for You
If you’re struggling in your relationship, feeling stuck in your intimacy, or just know that you want more from life, coaching might be the exact step you need. We’ll work together to untangle those sticky emotional situations, tap into your deepest desires, and take real steps toward the life you envision for yourself.
What makes coaching unique is the blend of conversation, practical exercises, and accountability. We won’t just talk about how you want to be more present in your relationship—we’ll practice it. We won’t just discuss how to communicate better with your partner—you’ll learn specific techniques and have the chance to test them out in real-time. And let’s not forget, coaching is also about having fun! I believe that growth doesn’t have to be heavy or hard. In fact, the more we laugh, play, and connect, the more we’ll learn and change.
In-Person or Virtual: The Choice Is Yours
One of the great things about coaching in today’s world is how flexible it is. Whether you’re local to Kansas City and want to work with me in person, or you live on the other side of the world and prefer virtual sessions, I’ve got you covered. Coaching works beautifully online, and sometimes being in the comfort of your own space can make our work even more impactful.
