Coaches, Therapists & Healers
Guests who turned their own hard-won lessons into helping others: coaching, therapy, and healing work.
A whole cluster of guests do the work of helping other people heal, and almost all of them came to it through their own struggles. Coaches, a therapist, a behavior specialist, and holistic healers, mostly GenX women who reinvented a painful past into a practice.
Whitney Kell coaches on personal development after getting sober. Gina Rania's Gen-X RESET method helps women through midlife. Lisa Concepcion coaches on love and self-worth. Kim Muench coaches parents. Amber Parks helps burned-out professionals, and Ryan Kemp-Pippan became a therapist after his own family trauma.
The common thread: lived experience first, credentials second, and a belief that what nearly broke them is exactly what lets them help.
