Engaging Twists and Turns in Coaching and Life with Wonder and Intention
L' Shawn and Eryn discuss the unexpected twists and turns that occur in coaching and healing modalities. L' Shawn shares insights from her family constellation certification course, including how seekers often experience transformations when representatives in the field reveal unexpected aspects of their situations, such as inner children appearing when adults expected to be represented. Eryn describes how grief coaching reveals layers of processing and mystery as clients explore their relationships with lost loved ones, sometimes discovering they need to honor both the person's humanity and their own capacity for greater love. They explore examples of transgenerational trauma where unexplained fears or illnesses in clients were connected to ancestors' experiences, and discuss how coaching creates space for these unexpected revelations while helping clients expand their belief systems.

Exploring Coaching as Benevolence and what it Offers
L' Shawn and Eryn revisit the title of their podcast, "Coaching as Benevolence," to explore its meaning and evolution over nine seasons. They discuss how coaching is often misunderstood as directive advice-giving, and emphasized their intention to make coaching concepts accessible and applicable to everyday life. The conversation highlights benevolence as a core value in coaching, focusing on kindness, collaboration, and holding space for clients' growth and self-discovery. L' Shawn shares a personal experience with a non-benevolent coach to contrast it with the supportive and co-creative nature of effective coaching. Both hosts reflect on the importance of self-compassion, authenticity, and trusting the client's inner wisdom in the coaching process. They also touch on the challenges of leadership, personal fatigue, and the role of storytelling in making coaching concepts relatable.

Eryn and L' Shawn Interview Jungian Depth Coach Aaron King
In this episode, Eryn and L' Shawn interview Aaron King, a Jungian depth coach specializing in relationships. Aaron discusses his coaching approach and personal journey. The conversation covers Aaron's background transitioning from a 35-year career as an Emmy-winning creative director in entertainment to becoming a coach after hitting rock bottom with addiction and recovery. Aaron explains how he helps clients uncover unconscious patterns and triggers by identifying what they're protecting themselves from, using Jungian archetypes like the warrior and the sage to understand behavior, and helping clients develop agency through conscious choice rather than defaulting to people-pleasing or addictive behaviors. The discussion includes practical examples of his coaching process, including a case study of a client who needed to process childhood trauma to restart her career, and explores how facing fears and asking "what am I keeping myself safe from" can reduce the power that difficult emotions hold over individuals.

Why is it so Hard to Ask for What We Need?
Eryn and L' Shawn discuss the question "Why is it so hard to ask for what you need?" They explore how unclear needs, shifting wants, and the myth of mind reading in relationships make it difficult to ask. Eryn shares an example from an art fair where she didn’t take a needed break due to ego and delegation concerns. L' Shawn reflects on trust issues, delegation challenges, and insights from a Family Constellations exercise that revealed a colleague's perceptions of her as micromanaging and distrustful. They both link the struggle to upbringing and cultural norms that discouraged children from voicing needs, leading to a lack of agency and language as adults. They suggest that coaching, mindfulness, and observing models of clear communication could help develop the skill to ask for needs.

Flourishing with Discomfort, Trust, and Self Awareness
This episode continues the conversation about flourishing, with L' Shawn and Eryn discussing what it means to flourish and how it shows up in their lives. L' Shawn shares how she experiences flourishing through learning and leadership development with Coloradans for the Common Good, particularly in preparing for an upcoming trip to New Orleans and engaging with diverse organizers. Eryn reflects on how flourishing involves being present and noticing unnoticed growth, sharing personal examples including managing minor health concerns without immediately worrying and working through business development decisions with a friend. They explore the distinction between pain and suffering, with L' Shawn noting that pain is inevitable but suffering arises when people cut themselves off from well-being and fixate on pain.

Taking the Time with Hope, Faith, and Intention
L' Shawn and Eryn discuss the concepts of hope, faith, and intention, drawing from L' Shawn’s reading of Melvin L. Rogers’ book, "The Darkened Light of Faith, Race, Democracy, and Freedom in African American Political Thought." L' Shawn explores hope as an active commitment to a desired outcome, linking it to historical struggles for justice and the role of faith in sustaining hope. Eryn connects these ideas to coaching, emphasizing the importance of intention, motivation, and the process of becoming in both individual and societal contexts. They reflect on how coaches can hold space for clients’ growth and the interplay between hope, faith, and intentional action in personal development and grief work. The conversation concludes with coaching nuggets of wisdom focused on understanding and applying hope, faith, and intention in daily life.
