I’m a coach — real training, ICF certification in progress. And I’m about to spend ten minutes on why a lot of my own industry is a scam. The grifter starter pack: manifestation-as-method, the DM funnel, guaranteed outcomes, and the lifestyle flex. Then the harder part — what a REAL coach actually looks like, why certification matters (especially if you’re from a marginalized community), and the one move no grifter will ever make. Then the uncomfortable part: run this checklist by ME. The point was never “trust me.” It’s “here’s how to decide who to trust.” Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/AA69VELyX5o?si=eJIHJ8rHRH6FPBX4

One gives you the answer. The other helps you build your own. Hire the wrong one and you’ll spend six months — and real money — solving the wrong problem beautifully. I’ve been both a coach and a consultant. Here’s how to tell which one you actually need: the expertise gap vs. the clarity gap, a house-staging analogy, a quick gut-check, and a 3-question framework. If you’re still not sure — that’s what a free 30-minute conversation is for. And if it’s not me, find yourself a certified coach. Don’t get got by a grifter.
