About this episode

This episode features life coach Lindsey Mango discussing the challenges and identity shifts of motherhood.

What does a life coach actually do? And do you really need one if you already listen to podcasts, read the books, and consume all the self-development content? This week, we're joined by life coach and mom of two Lindsey Mango for a conversation about coaching, motherhood, and the massive identity shift that happens when you become a mom. Lindsey breaks down what life coaching really looks like, how it differs from therapy, and the difference between consuming inspirational content and actually being coached. We also get into the stuff so many moms are quietly navigating: feeling like you've lost yourself, tying your worth to productivity, mom guilt, perfectionism, self-trust, and figuring out who you are on the other side of becoming a mother. Plus, Lindsey shares some of the coaching she finds herself giving moms over and over again, what she's learning in her own season of motherhood, and why small, consistent mindset shifts can make such a big difference. Whether you've worked with a coach before, have always been curious about coaching, or have secretly wondered "isn't that basically just therapy?" this episode is for you.
