36. Why I Quit Being a Therapist And Coach

Follow the multi‑hyphenate journey with your creative housemate: @margaretlefton🌀 This week, I finally tell a story I’ve been meaning to share for a whhiiillleeee: Why I walked away from being a therapist or coach years deep into studying it (and felt like a crazy person for doing so). Yes this involves a guided trip on the 42nd story of an NYC apartment building led by a major CEO, as is on brand for me. TL; DR: this a story of what happens when "doing the work" actually stops you from having authentic connection anymore🔮 The psychedelic trip that showed me the shadow of taking like 20+ therapy and coaching trainings📚 My time at Naropa University (grad school)🌀 How learning the work made me feel more disconnected and hyper critical of myself🎓 How I was performing coach/therapist when I wasn't ready, and why I'm returning to a version of coaching nowIf you’re in the coaching, therapy, or healing world (or left it), or if you’ve ever felt like someone else’s framework was muting your voice - HOPE YOU CAN RELATE (minus the metaphorically throwing up in the NYC apt thing... whatever you guys get me.). 📬 Leave a comment, review, or share with a friend if you want to support another dreamer living her favorite life (so I can keep making these for you guys) <3 📸 Instagram: @margaretlefton🎓 Work with me
