25. Integrating Therapy Into Business Coaching w Ashley McDonald

You know me, I love to spill the tea…  and today’s episode is absolutely packed full of it! From disappointments in the coaching industry, to treating your clients as if they aren’t even human beings, this episode truly covers it all! Discussing all of these juicy insights with me is one of my clients, Ashley McDonald, who I specially invited on the podcast as with her background, amazing story and 100% integrity-led business and principles, I knew she’d be a perfect fit to help me chat about tearing down the industry and rebuilding it in the way that we all know it needs to be.

My guest, Ash, is a Therapeutic Business Coach and 3 time founder with 10+ years of entrepreneurial experience & 2 Masters degrees. Through a psychology-backed, strategic approach she helps women build sustainable, energy-protecting businesses that are ethical, individualized, and profitable. Everything she does is filtered through a human-first lens and considers the emotional wellness of both the CEO and the consumer. She's a therapist, but for your business...because when you’re ready to build something unshakeable, it starts with the roots.

If you’ve ever made an investment that left you feeling unheard, unheld and disappointed, or you just feel like there’s something icky going on in the coaching industry, today’s episode is for you!
