The Wellness Revolution Podcast with Amber Shaw
442. Do You Have to Be “Fully Healed” to Become a Coach?
December 25, 2025
In this episode, I talk about a question I hear all the time from women who want to coach but feel stuck: Do I need to be fully healed before I’m allowed to help someone else? Especially around the holidays—when emotions, reflection, grief, and hope can all collide—this doubt gets even louder.
If you’ve been feeling pulled to coach but keep stopping yourself because you’re still healing, growing, or rebuilding, then this episode is for you.
