Welcome to the Whorrific Podcast, where we delve into internal systems and their connections to oppression, particularly in alternative employment and sex work. Today, we're excited to have our first guest, Cara Kovacs from Cara Kovacs Coaching.

Cara is a business coach specializing in progressive leadership with a focus on social impact initiatives. She guides clients in ethical selling strategies and the development of non-hierarchical team structures. Cara, who identifies as queer, polyamorous, a witch, and someone with type 2 diabetes, actively challenges societal norms through her platform.

In this episode, Cara and Morgan revisit the coaching industry in response to Morgan's previous solo episode on MLMs and the coaching industry in 2023 ( https://www.morganlafeuille.com/whorrific-feed/2023/7/12/episode-4-mlms-and-the-coaching-industry-part-2-of-a-jupiter-in-taurus-series ). They explore topics such as alternative employment, the lack of regulation in coaching, and the resulting risks of unqualified practitioners, inappropriate care, power imbalances, and cult-like organizations.

Cara introduces us to the work of Emily Ann Brant, an indigenous coach who argues that coaching, as a modern industry, has lost touch with its ancient roots.

The conversation delves into Cara's journey to becoming a coach. After pursuing a degree in psychology and realizing the inadequate starting salaries in the field, she discovered the coaching industry. Despite finding success, Cara also became aware of the dangers discussed earlier. She opens up about divesting from a coach she worked with for years after recognizing their abusive dynamic.

Check out Cara’s work and join the final night of her free 3-part class series Tuesday, January 30th at 4pm PST/7pm EST you can find the details on her instagram!
