Resilient Humans

Episode 162: Guides vs Gurus


Listen Later

Back from Summer Break!!

In this episode of Resilient Humans, Kevin breaks down a key belief at the heart of his coaching philosophy: great coaches aren’t gurus—they’re guides.

Gurus hand you strict plans and expect blind obedience. But real, lasting change comes from a collaborative process—one where you are the expert on your body, and your coach is there to guide, question, and support your growth.

You’ll learn:

  • 🤔 Why being told exactly what to do might feel helpful—but often backfires long term
  • 🧠 The power of coaching through questions instead of control
  • 💡 Examples of the questions Kevin asks to help clients uncover their best solutions
  • 🚫 Why a “just tell me what to eat” mindset can keep you stuck
  • ✅ What to look for in a coach who helps you build confidence, awareness, and habits that actually stick


This episode is a reminder that your health journey shouldn’t be about outsourcing your power—it’s about building the skill to trust yourself.
