Messy Liberation: Feminist Conversations about Politics and Pop Culture9 Feb

What liberatory coaching actually means (and why it matters right now)

This conversation is specifically for people who practice coaching or run coaching businesses (no certification required). Becky and Taina unpack how well-meaning coaches can unintentionally repeat patterns of harm rooted in capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy — even when they genuinely care about their clients.

They introduce a framework for building a liberatory coaching practice that centers identity, power, privilege, community, and care — not just goals, outcomes, or productivity. The episode also previews the interactive workshop happening February 25, where participants will begin building their own Liberatory Coaching Manifesto.

This isn’t about gatekeeping, hustle, or “fixing” clients. It’s about practicing coaching in a way that expands choice, agency, and humanity — for both coaches and the people they serve.

What liberatory coaching actually means
How coaching can unintentionally reinforce harmful systems
Why phrases like “limiting beliefs” and “we all have the same 24 hours” can cause harm
The role of identity, power, and privilege in coaching spaces
Why community is essential to sustainable coaching work
What a Liberatory Coaching Manifesto is — and why you’ll build one
How to practice coaching without gatekeeping or hustle culture
Why this work can’t be done alone
