Stop Taking Coaching Literally (And What "Sit With It" Really Means)

Author: Penny Chiasson July 8, 2025 Duration: 12:48

If you've ever been told to "sit with it," "push through," or "go back to the past to figure it out," this episode is your permission slip to stop taking personal growth advice so literally.

Inside this short but mighty episode, Penny unpacks the most misunderstood phrases in the coaching and healing space—and gives you the real-world clarity you've been craving. You'll learn when to reflect, when to redirect, and when to just stop spiraling.

Take a Listen If:

  • You're feeling overwhelmed by all the mindset advice out there

  • You've been stuck in the healing loop

  • You've been told you're "not doing the work" and it doesn't sit right

  • You're a coach, therapist, hypnotist or leader who wants to guide others with more nuance
