The Pyramid No One Wants to Admit Exists in Coaching

Have you ever felt something is “off” in the coaching or wellness industry? In this episode, Ava unpacks the invisible pyramid shaping these spaces and why so many of us feel uneasy inside them. We explore skill bypassing, surface culture, cognitive dissonance and what real integrity looks like in practice. A grounded, necessary conversation for anyone devoted to integrity, embodiment and real service.
