Trauma Healing: Why Your Coach Must Do Their Own Inner Work First
What if the coach you just paid thousands of dollars to has never actually done their own healing work?
In this episode, I sit down with Jacquie Grillon — trained counselor, speaker, and healer — for an honest conversation about what real trauma healing looks like, and why so many people in the coaching, therapy, and healing space haven't done the inner work they're asking you to do.
Jacquie shares her journey from addiction and recovery into counseling, the moment she found a therapist who could actually hold space for her (because she'd done her own work), and why she avoided "mommy daddy work" for years before realizing it was the only road that led back to herself.
We get into the parts of the wellness and coaching industry no one wants to talk about — paying thousands for someone to tell you what you already know, the death of mentorship, "post and pray" social media coaching, cult-like online followings, and the way surface-level guru content can actually re-traumatize you while wrapping it in a bow.
If you've ever felt burned by a coach, frustrated by performative healers, or like you're stuck in a cycle of seeking help that never quite lands — this one's for you.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why finding a therapist who's done her own work changed everything
- The difference between holistic healing modalities that give temporary relief vs. life lessons that require deep inner work
- How to spot a coach with great marketing but no substance
- Why "post and pray" is not a business strategy
- The death of real mentorship and why everything got monetized
- How surface-level personal development content can re-traumatize you
- What it really means to hold space — and why most people can't
- Confidence on camera, online trolls, and the courage to put your message out anyway
