Love Note Series To Women Leaders Part 3: The Pyramid Scheme Of The "Healing" World Debunked

In part three of the Love Note series, Rachele Kehler, Women's Alignment Coach, names the uncomfortable truth: the shiny, pyramid-like world of coaches coaching coaches isn’t leadership, it’s marketing dressed up as empowerment. From the “10k month” hype to the endless cookie-cutter formulas, Rachele explores why quick-fix business strategies rarely work for women and why they often leave leaders feeling disconnected, disembodied, and unseen.

This conversation challenges the performative side of the coaching and wellness industries and invites you to return to your body, your discernment, and your feminine leadership. Real leadership isn’t about creating mini versions of someone else; it’s about remembering your own magic, trusting your nervous system, and leading in a way that is authentic, embodied, and sustainable.
