Reminder: Coaching, and the Stop. Drop. & R.O.L.E Podcast is not therapy. If you experience discomfort or heightened emotions while listening, consider seeking support from a licensed therapist. Jen reminds us: while coaching focuses on moving forward, healing from the past is essential and sometimes requires more intensified, professional help.
