170. Decolonizing coaching and building self-trust with Shirin Eskandani

This week, Lily welcomes Shirin Eskandani to the podcast! Shirin is a former opera singer turned coach who, in this episode, opens up about her quest for fulfillment beyond external achievements. From navigating the challenges of dating to discovering the unexpected depth of inner work in coaching, Shirin shares the transformative power that led her to pursue coaching with a commitment to inclusivity and decolonized perspectives.

Shirin shares her mission to diversify the coaching world, highlighting the need for more inclusive certifications. Lily and Shirin also dive into the concept of being "wholehearted," exploring themes of empowerment and the profound impact of coaching on personal and professional aspects of life.

Listen in to hear this fantastic conversation that empowers self-discovery and self-trust.

Hot-takes from this episode:

Nothing outside of you will ever make me feel fulfilled or enough. That is something you have to be working on yourself.
"It isn't just about my dating life. It isn't just about my work. How we do one thing is usually how we do all or most things."
Decolonizing is about questioning and getting curious about what you value and believe and whether those values and beliefs were handed to you from society or family. Then, decide that you get to choose what you value and believe and how you want to move forward.
