A career as a life coach
9 years ago
You know what I've always wanted to do? Be a therapist. It was my dream job. But to get a PHD, to make the human mind so... clinical. I feel that's wrong.
I want to help people. But I want to do it my way. I want to be a life coach. I'm going to figure out how to help people. It's a job I'd love, to assist people and talk to them. To be a mental support and talk them through life's complications at their pace, and to make sure both their time, and any money they might want to spend, is worth it.
Now to figure out how.

Perhaps look into come local collages and some therapist buildings to see what they suggest you do.
No. It's a job you do love. Because you've already done a ton of it, and dammit, you're fantastic at it.
There's no such thing as a dream job; only a goal. It might be taller than Mount Everest, but... there's a reason that all the tallest mountains have been climbed before.
Thank you. Seriously.
Then saw this- I so agree. Not everything should require a degree.
Wanted to say that youtube is a great place to get out there for that! There are a few inspirational channels I subscribe to and some of them have a website where they offer private coaching/talk sessions and such. They usually upload some small content on youtube and if people want more they can schedule private sessions.
- Infiniate waters is one of my personal favorites. Look around on youtube to see what they're doing and use it as inspiration to start your own :) follow dem dreams!
The mind is just a bunch of impulses in the brain, it is just as much a bodily process as your blood pumping and it's just as good to make it clinical. Frankly, this claim that it feels 'wrong' struck me as archaic.
