Oh joy, another day, another email promising life-changing results from an online coaching program.

Just what we all needed, right? Because nothing screams “innovation” in 2024 like repackaging the same old regurgitated wisdom from four years ago and slapping a monthly fee on it.

Let’s face it — We’ve all hit peak online coach burnout.

When every Tom, Dick, and Harriet with a webcam, a basic understanding of Zoom, and a thin grip on their own skill set (and quite possibly reality) fancies themselves the next big thing in online coaching.

Just for the low, low price of $49 a month, you too can have access to generic advice repackaged in pretty PDFs, weekly ‘live’ sessions where your burning questions get lost in a sea of other subscribers, and can join a community of people that’s hosted on a free-to-run Facebook group who are all just as equally baffled by a lack of actual coaching.
