Listen "Ep 15. Coaching in the Unknown: Releasing Fixed Identities"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Coaching Mixer podcast, Erin Aquin and Elana McKernin explore how spirituality, identity, and belief show up in coaching, and how to hold space without slipping into persuasion or projection. They dive into the power of not knowing, the stories clients bring into sessions, and how curiosity can transform even tightly held identities.
In this episode, you will discover:
How to work with the unknown without collapsing into certainty or avoidance
Ways to use your spirituality and creative practices to inform your coaching
What “choosing beliefs on purpose” looks like in real life
How to use a client’s belief system, including astrology, diagnoses, or spiritual archetypes, without reinforcing limiting patterns
Why coercion hides inside some forms of spiritual coaching, and how to avoid it
Practical ways to help clients access the strengths inside the identities they cling to
How to protect the coaching space as a site of exploration, not persuasion
If you're a coach navigating spiritual conversations, you'll gain fresh insights on how to explore rather than escape the mysteries of being human.
