Guide to Building Anti-Oppressive Coaching Practices
As a life coach, you may feel called to support others in finding purpose, building resilience, or living more aligned with their truths. But holding that space with care and responsibility means looking closely at how your practice shows up in a world shaped by injustice. Coaching that doesn’t acknowledge power, systems, or lived experience can miss the mark. The start of a new year invites us to go deeper. In places like New York, where January brings cold, quiet mornings,

Understanding the Ethics of Being a Holistic Energy Healer
The role of an energy healer goes far beyond offering spiritual services or channeling practices.

As the year draws to a close and winter settles firmly around us, there's a quiet pull to slow down. The colder weather and longer nights offer a natural pause, asking us to turn inward.

What Happens When Therapists Ignore Their Own Trauma
We often think of the therapist as the calm one in the room. The grounded one. The person holding space while someone else falls apart or unravels.
