Hello you, welcome to the first interview in my recently rebranded podcast!Today I am joined by the wonderful life and business coach Ruthie Zerai Semere.In this conversation, Ruthie and I talk about the difference between healing for growth and healing as a ruse for resistance. This conversation was inspired by a conversation Ruthie and I had about the ways we have seen the people we work with unconsciously avoid taking action because they get stuck in their healing process. We explored the reasons why this may occur and how protective patterns from childhood impact our growth or avoidance.We also touch on our experience as daughters of immigrants and how our blackness affects our approach to healing and growth work. Of course we  talk about the ways in which our toxic productivity and people pleasing served us and why it had to be released in order for us to embody our healthiest adult selves. It's a really gorgeous conversation. I am delighted to share it with you. About Ruthie:Ruthie Zerai is a professional life and business coach with over 12 years experience working in Leadership positions in the corporate space before shifting into coaching in 2017.Ruthie coaches individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses around the globe through her virtual coaching practice.
