What Ragnhild does feels, on the receiving end, like a clinical psych X-ray followed by some very non-clinical voodoo magic.

She is one of Germany’s best-known coaches and one of the sharpest people I’ve met. This is her first ever podcast in English 👏

We discuss the difference between coaching and therapy, the importance of early childhood experiences in adult failure modes, and whether there is a psychologically healthy way to be obsessed with your work (spoiler: the proof is in the pudding - are you happy).

Her passion is to coach people into more authentic alignment with their work — recognising that however much we edit our self-image professionally, the actual Self will demand its due at some point. For better or worse. So, best to coax that thing out of the primordial forests of the unconscious, and into the Clearing.
