Episode notes
In this episode, I sit down with Lindsey Paoli—licensed therapist (x2 incoming), coach, and founder of the Rewire Mastermind—for a convo about the real differences between therapy and coaching, and how to get help without getting screwed.
We unpack everything from licensing and insurance BS to the dangers of toxic positivity and performative wellness. If you’ve ever wondered whether you need a therapist or a coach (or if you’re a provider figuring out your own path) this one’s for you.
🎧 Press play. Get steady. Keep shifting.
