r/LifeCoachSnark

I know I’m at the snark page - but I figured if there is a good one out there the recommendation from this sub hold more weight then anywhere else.

Are there any good life coaches out there anymore? Like, Brooke in her early days before she fell into a black hole? One that doesn’t just try to sell you a life coaching business?

I loved listening to coaching calls and even the 20 min personal coaching were super helpful usually.

I am in the mood for some snark. Also it's just pretty fascinating.

Have encountered some of the deeper dive into critiquing therapy as a culture stuff with Bayo Akomolafe, (who will no doubt have his own pitfalls as every revelatory groundbreaker seems to at some point), and read researchgate back and forths about the legitimacy or otherwise of polyvagal theory, but the life coach world I have not touched, and I am open to anything from entertaining to enlightening, single "coach"/ influencer focus or wider aim at the culture, all welcome.

Hi all. I’m starting to consider going back to school for therapy or counseling. I was hoping if there is anyone in here that has done that, you could share any advice about the process. Thank you!
Oops I should have added: I am a life coach “certified” by Life Coach School.

I've run both a psychology practice and a coaching business, and the difference is massive.

As a psychologist, clients can come to you through insurance coverage — the acquisition channel is largely built in. Coaching is a completely different game. You have to build and execute a solid marketing strategy from scratch, or clients simply won't find you.

And here's the reality: most clients don't come from your website. They come from social media — primarily Instagram and Facebook.

The real key is building a content funnel that works in three stages:

1. Awareness — your content helps people recognize their own problem
2. Connection — they see that you've faced similar struggles yourself, which builds trust
3. Conversion — they feel safe enough to book a free trial session

That last step is everything. A low-commitment first session removes the biggest barrier to entry and is consistently the most effective way to convert a follower into a paying client. Drop your experience below — I'd love to hear how others navigated this difference. Have you found a channel that works better than social media for getting coaching clients?

Anyone seen Leonie's latest posts? Looks like she was taken in by a coach/leader with culty tendencies. MAL?
