Live Like You Give a Damn with Andrea Owen

What does it really take to get honest and face hard things — in your coaching practice, and in your life? In this episode, we're joined by Andrea Owen, author of Live Like You Give a Damn: 25 Bold Moves to Get Honest and Face the Hard Stuff, for a conversation that goes well beyond coaching technique.

We’re digging into how the coaching industry has shifted from "good vibes only" toward doing real, deep transformative work — and what that shift has demanded of coaches personally. We explore the art of self-management when your client triggers something unhealed in you, how to use transparency as a coaching skill without making the session about yourself, and the hard-won wisdom that comes from taking a step back when life gets heavy.

If you've ever wondered how much of your own story to share, how to interrupt a client who's taking up too much space, or how to come back to your practice after a difficult season — this one is for you. Andrea doesn't sugarcoat it. Neither do we.
